World of Darkness, the transmedia entertainment brand behind celebrated fantasy horror properties including Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse, announced today that Renegade Game Studios is now the Publishing Partner for its catalogue of tabletop role playing games (TTRPG). World of Darkness also revealed it is bringing IP development of its story universes in-house and is kicking off this change with Vampire: The Masquerade Companion, a free digital supplement that brings new playable clans to Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, that will be available this December.

“Renegade and World of Darkness worked closely together on Vampire: The Masquerade – Rivals and the team proved their passion for our brands and alignment with our values in that collaboration,” said Sean Greaney, Brand Manager for World of Darkness at Paradox Interactive. “Our joint goal is to ensure that there will be no disruption of service for fans looking to get their hands on Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition books.”

“We’re thrilled to work with the World of Darkness team and create exciting content for this rich universe of supernatural horror.” said Scott Gaeta, President and Publisher at Renegade Game Studios. “We look forward to supporting the existing community and welcoming in new players very soon.”

World of Darkness is taking over IP development of its story universes, including Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Led by World of Darkness Creative Lead Justin Achilli, they will create the foundational material – including core TTRPG books – for all stories set in a World of Darkness franchise, including video games, comics, and other forms of media. Renegade Game Studios, working with local partners globally, will broaden the offering with additional TTRPG products. Additionally, all World of Darkness books will continue to include sensitivity reviews as part of the development process.

“Bringing IP development in-house is one of the many reasons why the World of Darkness team hired me and I’m thrilled to take on this responsibility. I’ll be working with handpicked teams to set the lore, atmosphere, and tone that players have come to expect, and working with partners like Renegade to create compelling stories within that framework,” Achilli said. “Even though I’m leading this process, we’ll continue to work with teams of writers and freelancers. Our goal is to ensure that book development happens with teams that include a diversity of voices.”

While World of Darkness will take over IP development of its core TTRPG books, as publisher, Renegade Game Studios will handle publishing and marketing of these products. Everything that falls outside of the core story setting, as determined by World of Darkness, will be developed and published by Renegade Game Studios.

Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox One News, Xbox Series X News

Thrustmaster is continuing to innovate, and is thrilled to announce the arrival of its second modular ESWAP gamepad controller officially licensed by Xbox®. The ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER is the result of a full year of research, development and consultations with pro gamers, with the goal of meeting the growing demands of an uncompromising class of players..

The gamepad’s new, innovative design and extreme level of precision takes into account feedback from Xbox and PC gamers, with a unique modular concept unique to Thrustmaster products. This brand-new X edition of the ESWAP PRO CONTROLLER line that launched last year, features next-generation mini-sticks for longer lifespan and greater precision, the ability to physically lock the triggers, manual button remapping, headset volume control and access to the latest version of the popular Thrustmapper software with great new features.

Thanks to their close collaboration with Microsoft®, Thrustmaster has been able to push technological limitations in order to provide totally new functionality to gamers while ensuring perfect compatibility on both new and older generations of systems: Xbox One®, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Windows® 10).

HOT SWAP: the ESWAP range’s modular DNA, for ultimate versatility

The T-MOD technology built into the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER is the result of extensive feedback on the ways in which gamers use their gamepads. Competitive gamers are looking for both incredible flexibility and next-level tools to help them climb the rankings as they compete on PC and console. Thanks to the Hot Swap feature allowing for all of the gamepad’s modules to be instantly swapped around at any time, gamers can quickly and easily take advantage of the optimal configuration for any game they’re playing.

Next-generation mini-sticks: better precision, and an even longer lifespan

The ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER features next-generation (S5 NXG) analog mini-sticks for enhanced precision and a longer lifespan compared with previous Thrustmaster mini-sticks. Gamers will enjoy better physical resistance (+33%), improved re-centering precision (+66%), and even double the lifespan for the built-in mini-stick buttons (+100%).

New trigger locking feature

Thrustmaster now lets gamers adjust the physical range of travel on the triggers to support any gaming style, reducing travel distance by up to 50%.This can be extremely useful especially in shooters, where the triggers’ responsiveness can provide a major advantage when it comes to firing rate, helping players emerge victorious when facing off against adversaries.

In this way, players can take advantage of enhanced responsiveness with a shorter range of travel on the triggers.

Renowned surgical precision

Thrustmaster is also offering new modules that are compatible with the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER, featuring super-responsive tact switches providing a greater level of precision and near-zero response times as well as a better feeling of control for long gaming sessions. The controller’s buttons and D-pad can each be activated more than 5 million times, while the pre-calibrated analog mini-sticks featuring shorter design for optimal precision have a lifetime of more than 2 million clicks each.

Headset volume control and manual button remapping

The ability to manually remap the rear buttons lets gamers find and use the best combinations of buttons to adapt to all types of games and hand sizes. Being able to quickly adjust their headset’s volume increases gamers’ ability to focus and gives a considerable boost to the practical aspect of listening to their games.

ESWAP ecosystem: dedicated packs of modules, plus replacement modules

Like its predecessor, the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER features a unique ecosystem of modules for customization without limits, officially licensed by Microsoft. This ecosystem allows users to update the look of their gamepad and adapt its performance to their preference. With the goal of continuing to meet the needs of competitive gamers,, the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER lets users take advantage of super-soft, smooth grips — for the first time ever.

Thrustmaster is also pleased to offer different packs and modules to accompany the launch of the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER this year, allowing gamers to adapt their gamepad to their own individual needs and start fresh with new individual modules if necessary.

  • ESWAP X GREEN COLOR PACK and ESWAP X BLUE COLOR PACK:

Camo-inspired packs of modules for the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER, allowing users to expand their gaming comfort zone. Modules with new shapes and textures let gamers push their boundaries and take their gaming to the next level — with 7 modules, plus 2 additional mini-stick caps.

  • ESWAP X S5 NXG MINI-STICK MODULE:

Replacement next-generation mini-stick: start fresh if you lose or break your mini-stick module or if you’ve gotten through its lifespan.

  • ESWAP X D4XB D-PAD MODULE:

Replacement D-pad: start fresh if you lose or break your D-pad module, or if you’ve gotten through its lifespan of millions of activations.

  • ESWAP T-CASE:

The ESWAP T-Case hard-shell, lets gamers safely transport their gamepad wherever they’re going.

Thrustmapper: the constantly-evolving configuration software

The Thrustmapper software lets gamers configure important settings by creating customized presets specifically adapted for particular games or characters. These presets can be used on both Xbox and PC for perfectly seamless multi-platform use.

For the launch of the ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER, Thrustmaster is also adding the ability to modify the shape of the dead zones curves for the left and right analog mini-sticks. Thrustmapper also offers other incredibly useful features for creating completely customized gaming presets — including configuring the sensitivity curves for the analog mini-sticks, the ability to remap buttons, and adjusting vibration levels.

ESWAP: an eSports leader in less than a year

Since its launch in 2019, the ESWAP range has won the favour of a large number of leading esports gamers across a variety of different games (FIFA, Rocket League, Call of Duty, NBA 2K and many others) and captured the attention of thousands of ranked gamers all around the world.

Thrustmaster is excited to enter the dawn of this new era, and a promising new year for eports and gaming, as one of the leading industry hardware brands of this generation.

Fishkeeper Announcement Trailer

2020/11/09
Jerry Paxton
Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Fishkeeper is the newly announced game from the Blinkclick Games studio from Poland. It can be referred to as “Sims in an aquarium” or “Underwater Tamagotchi”. The announced title will be a unique mix of economic strategy and aquarium simulator in full 3D.

In the game, we will play the role of a hobbyist looking after an aquarium: we will buy our own tank, equipment and in real time we will take care of the fish, satisfying their various needs, depending on the species. As in other life simulators, we will have to ensure that the fish we care for are fed, safe, healthy, and even that they do not lack good company. There are also more complicated parameters to deal with: water pH, salinity level, temperature and tank contamination.

The future game offers a whole range of freshwater and saltwater aquarium fish, shrimps, snails, plants and corals, allowing you to fully recreate the ecosystem of an artificial reservoir. Each animal and plant species will vary not only in appearance but also in terms of the conditions of the aquarium: eating, space and the specificity of reproduction. Just as in real life, all organisms will interact with each other in a specific way and will influence their environment. The game contains recreated mechanisms that naturally occur in nature among the different species of organisms. The player’s task will be to maintain a natural balance in the tank, fostering the development of the ecosystem and preventing environmental disasters.

By caring for fish and other animals, we will achieve the gradual development of the biosystem — the organisms grow and reproduce, passing the stages of life from egg to fry to a fully developed adult. In time, we will be able to start selling fish to free up space in the aquarium and at the same time raise funds for further development. The rarest and most beautiful specimens can be sold at auction, bringing the biggest earnings.

We will be able to admire our created aquarium by cruising in a specially designed bathyscaphe — something that can be described as a water drone. You can customize your bathyscaphe by changing its appearance, color, battery capacity, speed, replacing parts and adding modules. This device will also allow us to record films, take photos, clean the aquarium and perform other tasks to help in keeping the biosystem working.

Main features of the game:

  • Combining an economic strategy with a simulator: meet the needs of fish and observe their lives in real time, while ensuring good breeding results;
  • A wide variety of freshwater, marine, coral, shrimp, snails and other aquatic species are available;
  • Customize the aquarium equipment, shape, size and appearance of tanks;
  • Buy various animal and plant species, sell bred fish in the store and, exceptionally, fine and rare specimens at an auction;
  • Watch the views from the bathyscaphe cabin as you control it inside the aquarium; you can also use it to clean the tank from the inside;
  • Decorate your aquarium with lots of decorations, corals, posters etc.

The creators of Fishkeeper announce its PC premiere for the last quarter of 2021. Later console ports are also planned. In the meantime, you can add a game to the Steam Wishlist, which the creators kindly request.
