Leicester, UK, 1st August, 2016 – Kasedo Games and SomaSim are pleased to reveal the brand new gameplay trailer for building management sim, Project Highrise.

Project Highrise gives you the power to be the manager, the landlord and downright architectural god for whatever building you want to construct and run. Build offices, restaurants, retail stores and apartments and make your high-rise the most famous and most profitable in town – just make sure to keep your tenants happy.

The new trailer shows players what to expect from many aspects of the game which is quickly building a fan-base on YouTube as a ‘modern day Sim Tower’ with player excitement growing for its September 2016 release.

The trailer comes after the release of video series ‘Project Highrise in 20 Seconds’. Fans have already seen how to build and place units and more short videos will be coming on Kasedo Games’ social media channels @KasedoGames & /KasedoGames so follow and like to keep up-to-date with all things Project Highrise.

Features

  • Deep and complex simulation of a modern skyscraper.
  • Huge variety of tenants with their own unique characteristics, from restaurants, to offices, retail stores, or residential apartments.
  • 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.
  • Test your management mettle by keeping up with your buildings diverse population and their ever-increasing demands.
  • Hire specialised consultants to increase your building’s curb appeal, operational efficiency, and pull with city hall.

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!

STABLE ORBIT is a space station simulation game coming soon to PC. Assume the role of station commander and build the next space station!
