Published

on

Curve Games and Lychee Game Labs are proud to announce the launch of Patch Quest on Steam. Patch Quest is the only Roguelike-Metroidvania fusion title where players can mount and ride EVERY monster in the game! Fans can go on a monster adventure as Lychee Game Labs drops a colossal update for the official launch.

A work in progress of over seven years, Patch Quest was single-handedly created by one person on a journey to produce a one-of-a-kind roguelike, Metroidvania, monster-riding bullet-hell game. Patch Quest supports two-player local co-op and has been in Early Access as Liam at Lychee Game Labs has built a cult following, sharing the development process on his community Discord server and YouTube channel, which boasts over 4 million video views – not bad for one man and his passion to compete with some of the biggest franchises in the world!

“Patch Quest is a labour of love, and it’s grown into something that I couldn’t have ever imagined it would be at the start of this journey,” said Liam at Lychee Game Labs. “While I don’t have a full development team, what I do have is an amazing community that has given so many ideas and a dedicated amount of playtesting. Patch Quest would not have made it this far without them!”

The game is a deceptively difficult, delightful yet punishing, beautifully crafted hybrid of game genres that will lasso you in with its fast-paced gameplay and keep you coming back for more. Catch more than 50 monsters and expand your monster collection to fight your way through the island’s patchwork terrain that gets shuffled each night. Earn exploration gadgets as you play to unlock additional mechanics, collect over 100 plants, unlock gates, open shortcuts, and unravel the mystery of Patchlantis.

Get ready to Leap, Glide, Surf, Tunnel, Bite, Slither, Websling and Explode your way through the game. Survival depends on bending the forces of nature to your own ends!

  • Patchlantis is a twisting labyrinth, filled with countless dangers that can be transformed into your strength
  • Lasso the monsters, collecting them all. Level them up and keep them as pets!
  • Earn exploration gadgets that permanently expand your mechanics.
  • Collect over 200 unique plants and minerals!

Spyro the Dragon Soars Onto Xbox Game Pass

Published

on

Microsoft has hinted at the arrival of Spyro the Dragon on its Xbox Game Pass subscription service. In a subtle post on X/Twitter, Xbox Game Pass showcased a mysterious chest with the message: “Hey uhh who left this chest here?” The official Spyro account responded with an emoji, suggesting that something exciting is on the horizon but not yet officially announced.

Speculation points to the inclusion of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, a critically acclaimed collection by Toys for Bob, on Game Pass. Released in 2018, this trilogy includes remakes of the first three Spyro games: Spyro the Dragon (1998), Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! (1999), and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000). As of September 2023, the trilogy had sold over 10 million copies.

The first wave of Game Pass’ November 2024 lineup concludes with the November 19 launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Microsoft is expected to announce the second wave of releases soon.

The addition of Spyro to Game Pass would be part of the ongoing integration of Activision Blizzard games into the service, following Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of the company last year. Game Pass already features titles such as Blizzard’s Diablo 4 and Activision’s recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with more to come.

Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting developments from Xbox Game Pass.

Nintendo Sues Gamer for Streaming Pirated Games Before Release

Published

on

Nintendo has taken legal action against gamer Jesse Keighin, known online as Every Game Guru, for streaming pirated Nintendo games, including The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, before their official release dates. The lawsuit, filed in a Colorado court, accuses Keighin of not only streaming 10 Nintendo games before their launch but also instructing his viewers on how to obtain these games. Titles involved in the suit include Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

According to the lawsuit, Keighin has been streaming leaked Nintendo games at least 50 times since 2022 and provided links to emulators such as Yuzu and Ryujinx. Nintendo claims these actions amount to “trafficking” in illegal “circumvention devices,” causing millions of dollars in lost video game sales.

Despite multiple takedown notices from Nintendo, Keighin continued to stream the company’s games on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Kick. As a result, his YouTube and Twitch channels have been taken offline due to copyright strikes.

The lawsuit also alleges that Keighin sent a letter to Nintendo in late October, boasting about having “a thousand burner channels” to continue streaming from, indicating his intent to persist with these activities.

Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each alleged violation of its rights under the Copyright Act and $2,500 per violation of the anti-circumvention and anti-trafficking provisions of the Copyright Act. With over 50 alleged incidents in the past two years, potential damages could reach $7.5 million. Alternatively, Nintendo could seek “actual damages” to be proven at trial.

This lawsuit is part of Nintendo’s ongoing battle against emulators. Earlier this year, Yuzu developer Tropic Haze agreed to pay Nintendo $2.4 million in a settlement, and last month, Ryujinx reportedly ended development after discussions with Nintendo. In 2021, Gary Bowser, a member of the Nintendo hacking group Team Xecuter, was sentenced to 40 months in prison and fined $14.5 million. Nintendo is also currently suing Palworld maker Pocketpair for alleged patent infringement.

Nintendo continues to take a firm stance against piracy and emulation, protecting its intellectual property and ensuring fair play in the gaming community.

A rising star in the world of game development is making waves in Riyadh with his gripping new horror game, Aunt Fatima. Showcased during NVIDIA Studio Nights 3 in Riyadh, Saudi content creator and developer Abdullah Hamad captivates players with a chilling tale of kidnapping, survival, and escape, all set against a backdrop that highlights the urban beauty of Riyadh.

Aunt Fatima is a psychological horror game that plunges players into a dark and twisted narrative. The story follows a kidnapped individual trapped in the clutches of Aunt Fatima and her sinister husband. The game’s protagonist is one of the few who manage to escape the harrowing experience, adding a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. As players navigate a dimly lit, ominous mansion, they must solve puzzles, evade the creepy couple, and uncover secrets that lead to their freedom.

Abdullah Hamad, the Creator of Aunt Fatima

In just six months, Abdullah Hamad transformed from an amateur game developer into the creator of a fully functional, intense horror experience. His journey began in April 2024, when Abdullah, who worked as a media content creator, was tasked with creating a video for an event at work. Using Unreal Engine to design the main menu for the project, he became intrigued by game development tutorials. Abdullah’s curiosity soon blossomed into passion, and by October, he had completed Aunt Fatima, a suspenseful horror game that has captivated audiences in the region.

Abdullah’s transition into game development exemplifies the power of passion and self-learning. What began as a curiosity about Unreal Engine for his work in CGI quickly evolved into a full-blown game project. “It was never my intention to become a game developer, but I found myself deeply fascinated by the process. I started watching tutorials, experimenting with the engine, and before I knew it, I had built a playable game,” said Abdullah.

His journey illustrates how digital tools like Unreal Engine are democratizing the creation of video games, allowing independent developers to build and share their creations with the world. Aunt Fatima is a testament to how talent can emerge from unexpected places, driven by innovation, determination, and the power of online learning.

As Riyadh evolves as a hub for innovation and technology, Aunt Fatima stands as a testament to the thriving creative community within the Kingdom, showcasing the unique talents emerging from the heart of Saudi Arabia. This story celebrates not only the game but also the growing potential of Saudi Arabia’s gaming industry, a sector that continues to inspire innovation and creativity on the global stage.
