“The GUNDAM BATTLE: GUNPLA WARFARE mobile game represents the culmination of the best aspects of GUNDAM; drawing from the lore of the anime universe, the charm of the Gunpla models and the excitement of bringing virtual GUNDAM into battle,” said Shinsuke Ninomiya, producer at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., “We’ve enabled an unprecedented level of depth in customization, allowing players to build anything from an agile mecha armed with a sword to an armor-clad bastion equipped with powerful artillery. The game encourages countless unique builds and playstyles that fans from all corners of the GUNDAM universe can enjoy.”

Green Hell Story Mode Gets Release Date and Features Update

Warsaw, Poland, July 1, 2019 — Independent Polish developer, Creepy Jar is excited to announce that their massively successful Amazon-based survival game, Green Hell will be launching into 1.0 on Sept 5, 2019. Gaining legions of fans during its Steam Early Access phase, the most anticipated feature of the 1.0 release, Story Mode, will see players test more than just their survival skills as they embark on a desperate mission to save their lost love, Mia.

Releasing into Early Access in August of 2018, Green Hell comes full circle just over one year later as it launches into version 1.0. Expanding with regular updates fueled by both the studio’s own internal creativity and based on feedback from the game’s active community, Green Hell has seen a lot of changes in that time. From an expanded map to new camp options and the addition of various plants, animals, and tribal enemies, the Amazon rainforest of Green Hell is more dangerous than ever.

Continuing their focus on listening to the Green Hell community, Creepy Jar has also implemented a number of changes and fixes to coincide with the 1.0 launch update. Find a detailed changelog on their Steam page (updated on July 1) and see a list of the major additions in the update below;

Story Mode and 1.0 Update Additions

  • Story Mode! — How did you end up in the Amazon? What happened to your love, Mia? How can you escape? How can you survive? Seeking answers to these questions will take you to the brink of sanity as you rediscover well-known areas and discover new areas for the first time.
  • New Map Areas — The lush rainforest of Green Hell gets even bigger with new Wetlands to explore.
  • Perma-Death Difficulty — Gear up for the most ruthless challenge yet. There’s no coming back from death.
  • New Graphics Options — Optimize your experience with new FOV, Vsync, antialiasing, texture quality, and shadow distance options.

  • Decay Timer— Many items in the game will now start to wither and decay. Players will have to be vigilant learning to use their items before they expire.
  • Custom Game Settings — Have a problem with snakes? Maybe spiders? Introducing new options to turn tribes, predators, spiders, snakes, and the sanity meter on or off! Hate managing macroelements? Green Hell is also adding a depletion speed slider to adjust how quickly you need to replenish yourself.

Key Features

  • Realistic Survival Simulator — Green Hell puts great focus on realism in both its world building and gameplay. Everything that is crafted or built is necessary for survival and was consulted on with experts. The Amazon is not a typical forest; threats are literally crawling under your skin.
  • Psychological Thriller — You awake in the middle of the night, you hear the distant voice of your wife, Mia through the darkness. Through the radio her pleas for help ring in your ears.
  • Will she be ok? Will you succumb to the dangers of this hostile environment before you can rescue her? The hardest battle you’ll face is the fight against yourself, your weaknesses, and your fears in order to find Mia.
  • A Lushly Recreated Amazon Rainforest — Every effort has gone into recreating the lush world of the Amazon. An exotic and dangerous place, this jungle is filled with many hazards beyond predators including toxic plants, illnesses, and infections all waiting to bring the player to their demise.
  • Body Inspection — Dangers lurk around every corner, but they also live under your very skin. Paramount to your survival is checking your body for parasites, infections, and wounds. Take care of your body or you will face the consequences.

Another Sight Launch Trailer

June 27, 2019 – Another Sight is more than just a video game. Your journey begins with darkness – not because you travel in the dark, but because of a tragic accident of your protagonist. You have almost completely lost your sight, and there is icy darkness everywhere around you. The noises and sounds of darkness make you panic, but wait… not everything is as dark as it seems. Someone is at your side who will accompany you on your journey and be your eyesight. Your guardian angel turns out to be a cat who uses her unique abilities to experience an exciting adventure full of incredible emotions and unique puzzles at your side. Your animal friend illuminates the darkness around you and conjures a world full of shapes and colours for you. Only together, you can make the journey through the darkness and get back to daylight…

With Another Sight, Toplitz Productions and Lunar Great Wall Studios are embarking on a new and unique topic that picks up on many taboos firmly anchored in today’s society and deals with a topic that at first seems very tragic. In the course of his adventure, however, the player learns that not everything that seems dark is dark. Another Sight plays with emotions, teaches virtues like true friendship and familiarizes both hardcore adventure fans as well as casual players and families playfully and affectionately with the topic “blindness” and the importance of true friendship.

For this very reason, it was decided to work closely with the Institut dei Ciechi di Milano to understand life in darkness and to interactively depict the challenges, peculiarities and emotions of the game. “It quickly became clear to us that Kit was our protagonist something very special. She should, through the loss of her sight, represent the special and special abilities and sensations of a blind person,” explains Marco Ponte (CEO), Lunar Great Wall Studios. Another Sight is more than just a video game – it touches, it playfully connects social classes, and it shows that not everything is always light or dark. The colours in between make the adventures of life “special”.

I appreciate this video game very much because it sensitises people to the potential of blind people and promotes a different perspective,” explains Dott Franco Lisi, Director Scient. “The eyes are not the only way to perceive reality. This game opens a small window to view another world in a positive way”.

“When we first saw Another Sight, it was clear to us that it would fit perfectly into our portfolio. Toplitz Productions stands for “games with heart and soul”. Another Sight embodies both, takes the player into a beautiful world full of contrasts, where you forget the norms for a few hours and experience the value of friendship in your world with Kit,” explains Matthias Wünsche, CEO Toplitz-Productions.
