City of Gangsters Mafia Management Episode 2

In City of Gangsters, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. And when you’re looking to make a quick buck during 1920s prohibition, it’s good to know who’s an ally…and who to avoid in the mafia management tycoon game.

In the second of the ‘Mafia Management’ featurette series, players are shown the importance of making allies, and being vouched for when expanding your illicit booze business on the mean streets of Chicago.

Use your new associates to set up protection rackets, and keep the booze flowing out and the money flowing in. Just don’t get double-crossed.

The first video in the ‘Mafia Management’ series is already available and looks at getting started with simple production chains that you’ll need to begin your own criminal empire.

Future episodes will be available each month. Join the City of Gangsters discord channel to get all the latest info and video features when they go live.

Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition Announced

Renowned dating coach and best-selling author Richard La Ruina recently announced the third and final installment in the Super Seducer video game series: Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition. Like past iterations, Super Seducer 3 boasts the same high-quality Full-Motion Video (FMV) gameplay and comical-yet-insightful takes on the highs and lows of dating and seduction. Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition is headed to Windows PC and Mac via Steam on February 13, 2021, and features highly-requested realistic dating situations and advice as well as numerous special guest appearances and input from the world’s top love gurus.

“I have decided to go with the ‘GOTY Edition’ subtitle for the third and final Super Seducer,” said Richard La Ruina. “In the past 15 years, I’ve used a lot of the techniques based on the Law of Attraction to accomplish such things as building a successful business, guiding investment decisions like buying Bitcoin, and even finding my wife. Now, I’m manifesting the GOTY title for Super Seducer 3 by using it as the subtitle for the game, even ahead of its release.”

La Ruina also announced that both prequels, Super Seducer and Super Seducer 2: Advanced Seduction Tactics, will launch on Nintendo Switch as console exclusives. Richard said, ”I’m very happy to finally have a console home for the games and I’m thrilled that Switch owners will soon be able to level-up their seduction skills at home and on the go.” Both Super Seducer prequels are expected to launch on Nintendo Switch in February 2021, accompanying the release of the final installment in the series.

There’s only one way to learn — fail miserably, and usually more than once. The Super Seducer series allows men and women to learn from the pros how to both succeed at seduction and make absolute fools of themselves, both of which are valuable pieces of knowledge to hang on to when navigating the confusing and often intimidating world of dating and relationships. Like its predecessors, Super Seducer 3 thrusts players into the fray, forcing them to either do “right” or “wrong” by their potential lover with the use of branching dialogue and action options — whether that be smooth and seductive or terribly awkward and cringe-inducing. With the ability to experience seduction tactics on both ends of the spectrum, players will learn how to either seal the deal or master the art of accepting painful rejection.

“After two prequels, my team learned one thing: pandering does not get the job done when it comes to making Super Seducer not only successful but truly helpful,” said Richard La Ruina, creator of the Super Seducer series. “The success of the original Super Seducer blew us away, but something was missing from Super Seducer 2. It just wasn’t what our fans needed. We appealed to the critics and lost our message and purpose.”

He continued, “We set out to make Super Seducer 3 for — and with — the fans and part of that meant flying in guest stars to act and get involved in the production. While we were able to include some of the influencers we invited, much of this plan fell through due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. Still, our team knows how to make the best of any situation and we used the additional time to give Super Seducer 3 the extra love that it deserves.”

Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition is a mature, non-nudity FMV game and true-to-life dating simulator that teaches men and women alike how to take their skills (or lack thereof) with a love interest to the next level. With “Cut” and “Uncut” playable versions of the game, players can choose a more family-friendly experience or a sexier-than-ever take on Super Seducer, which even includes threesome advice, sexting tips, and more. Featuring well-known Twitch streamers such as Kandyland and NymN, Super Seducer 3 aims to educate players on the best way to go about landing a long-lasting relationship and how to avoid mistaking persistence for harassment. The Super Seducer himself, Richard La Ruina, guides players on the mastery of self-confidence, charm, and respect while establishing tasteful dating and seduction techniques.

Key Features of Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition Include:

  • Longer, Not Harder: Each level and scenario in Super Seducer 3 is longer and features numerous outcome paths and multiple ending options, meaning each playthrough offers a new and fresh experience.
  • Custom Mode: New to the series, Custom Mode allows the game to be played in a way that best suits the player. No feedback, no “red” options” and a pressure countdown timer add to the seduction tension!
  • No More Mister Nice Guy: Super Seducer 3 puts the focus on what players want and specifically asked for; no more appealing to reviewers and critics on social media. Richard La Ruina promises a genuine experience with real advice.

Super Practical: The situations are relatable and the reactions are realistic — enjoy over a dozen levels with practical advice for real-life situations such as how to tactfully talk to a potential partner at the supermarket, the gym, and even tips for taking your sexting game to the next level.

Super Seducer 3: GOTY Edition releases on Windows PC and Mac via Steam on February 13, 2021, for $12.99 USD. Learn more and add the game to your Steam wishlist here.

Conan Chop Chop Coming in Early 2021

The rogue-lite party-game was originally scheduled to release in September 2019. Then it was Q1 2020. After that, it was Q2. Which, of course, in turn became “later this year”. But this time we mean it for real. After a series of brilliant ideas have been implemented and a new bunch of cute and deadly mobs and traps have found their way to Hyboria, the development is nearly complete. Conan Chop Chop will release in early 2021, bigger and better than originally intended.

“If we had launched this year, there’d be half the number of cute pigs in the game. And you can’t launch a Conan game without that” concludes Funcom’s Chief Creative Officer Joel Bylos. “And besides, the only crunch we want in our Conan game is the crunch of bones beneath our sandalled feet.”

Following a resurgence of cutesy online co-op games, the scope of Conan Chop Chop has increased. The hack ‘n’ slash, which supports both couch co-op and online co-op on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, has been augmented with more random events, new traps, and vicious minibosses roaming the world of Conan the Cimmerian Barbarian. While the previous number of possible item combinations was a measly 14 trillion, it is now too high for the human brain to fathom, guaranteeing infinite replayability in a beautifully designed procedurally generated world.

Conan Chop Chop is developed by Mighty Kingdom and published by Funcom. The hack ‘n’ slash rogue-lite was cheekily announced on April 1st, 2019 and was perceived to be an April Fools’ Day joke. It was then unveiled as a real game during E3, where press and influencers got the first hands-on preview. The game will release on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
