Video game publisher Nordcurrent and developer Max Mraz today announced that the bright pixel-art adventure RPG, Ocean’s Heart, is coming to Steam for PC on January 21st. Brought to life by the creator of Yarntown, a Zeldalike demake of Bloodborne, Ocean’s Heart amasses inspiration from genre classics with its own flavor, promising hours of exploration, role-playing, hidden secrets, and whimsical encounters.
Ocean’s Heart is a charming pixel-art action RPG set in a spirited world, brimming with secrets, magic, and perilous affairs. As Tilia, a young girl whose father and best friend have been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Blackbeard, you must set off on a treacherous journey through a vast and dangerous wilderness to rescue him, unraveling a web of pirate conspiracies on the way. Gather items along your journey to craft potions as well as expand and upgrade your ever-growing arsenal of weapons, constantly increasing your skills to fight boss adversaries and survive deadly dungeons.
“Ocean’s Heart borrows inspiration from the likes of Zelda, Hollow Knight, The Witcher, and even Dark Souls, to create an exciting take on the action-adventure RPG genre,” said Artūras Surgutanovas, Head of Marketing from Nordcurrent. “Packed with tons of side-quests and hidden secrets, Ocean’s Heart is wrapped in an engaging story chock-full of clever humor, providing a deep and entertaining experience that will make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings. Wishlist the game on Steam today so you don’t miss our launch on the 21st!”
Ocean’s Heart will be translated into English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese.
A new TV spot airs tonight featuring Marvel Studios’ upcoming new Disney+ series “WandaVision,” a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The spot reveals an original theme song written by Oscar®-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez (“Frozen”), who penned unique songs for several episodes, spanning from the 1950s to the early 2000s.
“‘WandaVision’ is such a cool, strange, one-of-a-kind project,” says Lopez. “When the director, Matt Shakman—an old friend from my college days—pitched it to us, we didn’t have to think about it. We loved the bright feeling of American sitcoms mixed with the deep sense of unease the story had, and it was a really inviting challenge to help set that tone.”
Adds Anderson-Lopez, “I grew up in the ’80s watching shows from every decade on the networks all day long. Episodes from ‘I Love Lucy,’ ‘Brady Bunch’ and ‘Family Ties’ shaped who I am and how I move through the world. So this project was a dream come true.”
“WandaVision,” the first Marvel Studios series created exclusively for Disney+, stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff, Paul Bettany as Vision, Kathryn Hahn as Agnes, and Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau, who was introduced to audiences in “Captain Marvel.” Kat Dennings will reprise her role as Darcy from “Thor” and “Thor: The Dark World,” and Randall Park will reprise his role as Jimmy Woo from “Ant-Man and The Wasp.”
Marvel Studios’ “WandaVision” is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. The series is directed by Matt Shakman with Jac Schaeffer as head writer. Composer is Christophe Beck, and theme (for certain episodes) is by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Featuring nine episodes, “WandaVision” kicks off on Disney+ on January 15, 2021.
Gaijin Entertainment in partnership with The Three Whales Studio today revealed its new online adventure Age of Water. Set in a post-apocalyptic water world and developed as a Gaijin inCubator title, Age of Water will be available for PC on the gaijin.Net platform. The first Alpha test for Age of Water begins soon.
Age of Water tells the story of a distant future when the Earth has been transformed into an ocean world. Residents live in cities built upon whatever urban structures remain above the water’s surface including skyscraper rooftops and giant statues. Take control of a motorboat and travel between settlements, fighting pirates, excavating the remnants of a lost civilization from the depths of the ocean and transport valuable goods whilst discovering whether the mythical land still exists.
“We believe that the bright visual style of Age of Water as well as its unusual setting and high level of freedom will appeal to the players that like exploring new worlds”, explains Yuri Miroshnikov, the producer of Age of Water.
In Age of Water players will need to complete quests in solo or co-op, fight against AI-controlled enemies, gather valuable resources, profit from price differences between settlements and freely explore the high seas of the open world. Between adventures, they can upgrade their boats or build new ones from available hulls and components. For example, they can construct an armoured deckhouse and fill the deck with high-calibre machine gun turrets.
More information on Age of Water is available at the official website at https://ageofwater.net/

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.
