August 3, 2016 – Playsports Games has released a second video in their “Master the Tech” series featuring Mike Fryatt, Community Manager for their upcoming sports management sim, Motorsport Manager.
Just like in a top-tier race team, your car is in a constant state of evolution – you can’t coast though a season with the same car setup, nor can you ignore moving resources into the development of next year’s car. In our second video in the series, we show you that it’s down to you to master the technology, to give your team the best possible chance to win.
August 3, 2016 – Subsiege – previously known as Submerge – is an online strategy game based on the Unreal Engine which requires skilled controls and complex tactical knowledge. The game is set in a refreshing and visually stunning deep sea setting. Subsiege is a new approach to the modern MOBA/RTS playstyle and combines classic RTS with competitive MOBA-gameplay. The aim is to create a challenging and rewarding gaming experience that demands elaborate maneuvers, skilled reactions and predictive strategies.
The main attraction of Subsiege, whencompared to other representatives of the classic MOBA genre, is that you have to control multiple units simultaneously while keeping your eye on the pressure level of your shrinking oxygen resources.
Barricading yourself isn’t an option as you are only able to get hold of the essential resource through active scouting and offensive plays. Command your handpicked squad in an RTS-style while fighting off other players on persistent servers. But it’s not all about your rivals… the sunken battlegrounds hold their own dangers: Toxic coral reefs, lethal fauna and deadly creatures of the depths handicap those travelling underwater.

Open sandbox play with several difficulty levels and starting conditions allowing you to build your dream skyscraper towering above the surrounding city.
Campaign mode that tests your skill at building a successful highrise in challenging scenarios.

About Project Highrise
Your job as the architect and developer is to build world-famous skyscrapers that will be the envy of the entire city, masterpieces of art and engineering. But a skyscraper is more than just steel and glass, it’s an intricate ecosystem, full of people that live and work in the building. They become a complex machine that needs your steady hand to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.
As the architect you must coordinate the construction of everything – every wall and wire, every office and apartment. As the building owner you must keep your tenants happy – and paying rent on time. As a savvy developer you must keep an eye on the bottom line and invest in the future. Succeed and you will reap the rewards of a prestigious address where everyone will clamour to live and work. Fail and you will watch tenants leave in disgust, taking their business elsewhere and leaving your reputation in tatters.
Will you create an exclusive office highrise that attracts business leaders from around the world? Will you construct luxury apartments in the sky, penthouses for the elite and playgrounds for the famous? Perhaps greed will get the better of you and you’ll build a tenement building that trades tenant happiness for loads of cash? All these choices and more are yours. Success is entirely in your hands.
The first annual Midsummer Scream Halloween Festival has concluded and it was a wallop of a hauntingly good fun. We braved mini-haunt experiences from the likes of Perdition Home, Spooky Hollows, DeadZone 805, and several others. We took in various panels from haunted attraction professionals such as John Murdy from Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. We walked the floor of the Long Beach Convention Center, sorting through a variety of vendors selling hauntingly fun items. And even though it took a good two days of our time to see everything, it feels like it was over in a flash. Midsummer Scream was a terrific time and I look forward to attending the event’s second annual showing next year!
London, UK 29th July 2016 – Today, Green Man Gaming Publishing and Codalyn are pleased to announce Stable Orbit, a realistic and challenging simulation game that allows players to build and run their own Space Station. The game is being developed by Codalyn’s Jim Offerman, the lead PC programmer of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Tomb Raider, and will be coming to Early Access in October.
Stable Orbit is a space station simulation game coming soon to PC. The realistic simulator is set in 2034 and allows players to assume the role of station commander and build the next space station five years after the International Space Station has been deorbited.
“I’m making Stable Orbit because I’m a huge fan of realistic science fiction, and I’ve always wanted to do something within that space,” said Codalyn developer Jim Offerman. “It’s the first game idea I’ve had in a very long time where I’m confident that I can build on my own without requiring an army of other developers. As I began researching how real space stations were built and operated, I just got more and more into it!”
“We’re delighted to be working with Codalyn and Jim on this deep and challenging space station simulator game, which we think will give players a realistic feel of what it’s like to build and maintain a space station. Stable Orbit will also help to educate players about the wonders and challenges of space exploration. We look forward to launching this beautifully crafted PC game in early access later this year,” said Paul Sulyok, Founder and CEO of Green Man Gaming.
THE YEAR IS 2034. It’s been five years since the International Space Station was deorbited. Space programs the world over have faltered. Against all odds, an unprecedented “All Nations Space Coalition” is formed around a shared desire to rebuild mankind’s permanent presence in space, and rekindle the space race. Who will lead this mission? You!
