Celebrating three years of Humble Games
Wizard Of Legend is getting a follow up
I’m not the biggest fan of the name, but I love love love the 2D animation in#BLUD. The great visuals don’t come as a surprise when you know that developers Exit 73 are also an animation studio too, with #BLUD being their debut game. This vampire-slayingRPGhas you play as Becky Brewster, a highschooler who spends the day fretting about homework and friends and the nighttime slaying demons. From the look of the trailer, #BLUD looks to be bursting with humour and fun; one to keep an eye on for sure.
The second game to be funded by the Black Game Developers Fund,Breeze In The Cloudsis a fighting, platforming game where you play as an adorable corgi. The pupper, Breeze, discovers that they have newfound weather-based powers, and you’ll be using these new abilities to fight pollution creatures that are choking the world with their poisons. I like the idea of a word’s central theme being weather orientated, and who can say no to brawling as an adorable corgi? No release date for Breeze In The Clouds as it’s still early in development.
We already know thatStray Gods: A Roleplaying Musicalis out on August 3, so this segment of the show was a little BTS look at the live show Humble put on in LA, spliced with some interview snippets of the cast. I feel likeI’m the conductor for the hype trainof this game, and after seeing everyone who’ll be lending their voices to the game’s cast of singing Greek gods it’s full steam ahead.
A debut game from Squid Shock Studios,Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotuslooks gorgeous. It’s an action-platformer with Japanese folklore inspirations, which, I mean, we’ve seen so many games with the same inspirations already - but after watching the trailer I really like what Bō is going for. It pulls from many different types of Japanese art, including woodblock prints, ink brush paintings, and origami. I’m a major sucker for pretty games, so we’ll have to wait and see how Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus turns out when it eventually releases. No date on that front yet, though. Check out the game’sSteam pagefor more info.
From the creators ofMoonlighterand The Mageseeker isCataclismoa tower defense, real-time strategy game and it looks like Digital Sun is going a bit darker with this one. Seems humanity is on its last legs, as Cataclismo casts you in the role of warriors who have left the ‘Last City’ on a mission to build new fortresses. You then have to defend your creations against swarms of evil nasties. I like the darker tone that Digital Sun has gone for in Cataclismo, and I’m keen to see more of this strange medieval world.
I love grappling hooks in games, soLost Skiesalready has my attention with its co-cop grappling hook action. It’s a 1-6 player adventure with survival elements where you get to swoop and soar through a world filled with floating islands. You can craft your own kit and even build a skyship, which looks pretty cool from the look of the trailer. Another one with no release date, so better brush up your grappling hook skills or get used to plummeting to your death.
