The horrible Construct cyborgs of tactics game Menace are getting a rework for "style" and "variety", while the devs put a bullet in the promotion tax
Grim and grubby mercenary tactics game Menace is getting a big update that removes a "not-so-popular" promotion tax, gives all units the ability to clear away wrecked vehicles, and reworks the major Construct enemy faction, deemed by developers Overhype to be "severely lacking in uniqueness, variety, and style".

I'm sad to report that when I worked on Black & White 2's expansion I was never offered a weed-laced chilli con carne
You may not be remotely surprised to learn that while making Black & White, the god game in which you can care for a three-story tall cow, many of the developers at Lionhead were smoking marijuana. As Peter Molyneux tells it in a recent anniversary piece for Eurogamer: "If there's any stimulant that aids creativity, it's weed." The developers interviewed do point out that this wasn't everyone on the team. "It would get to six o'clock, which was the official end of the day, and the 'normal' peopl
Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter
I do not like the combination of the words "Epic Games," "Disney," and "extraction shooter," yet write them I must. That's because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal.

Over the Hill looks like SnowRunner's cosy off-roading cousin, and its new trailer shows off muddy motoring in Algeria ahead of release later this year
I've really dug Funselektor's minimalistic and relaxed vibe-heavy arcade racers over the past few years. Absolute Drift's brill, Art Of Rally's great, and I also liked retro F1 management sim Golden Lap. Their latest work in collaboration with Strelka Games - due out this year - is off-roader Over the Hill, a SnowRunnery terrain-treverser for people who want more of a driving dreamy sojourn than they do a driving Dark Souls, and they've just shown off a look at its version of Algeria.

Crop is Stardew Valley except you arrive at your farm naked and in the boot of a car
Even the cosiest of cosy games can have melancholy openings. In Stardew Valley, for instance, your elderly grandfather passes away, bequeathing you his rundown farm. In Moonglow Bay, you set about restoring a town after your partner is lost at sea. And in Willowbrooke Post you take over the family mailroom after your parents' sudden, unexplained departure. Still, Crop, the new farming game from 11 Bit Studios and Carbonara Games might take first place, considering you turn up at your new farm st
Forza Horizon 6's full map has finally been revealed, and while Tokyo doesn't engulf half of it, I'm still seeing plenty of appealing asphalt spaghetti
Forza Horizon 6's full map has broken cover, giving folks a chance to stare, gawp, and declare 'damn, those be some roads'. Naturally, many have run to compare Playground Games' rendition of Japan to the maps of previous Horizons and having quickly done so myself, I'm still optimisting that I'll dig this vast expanse of hairpins and turns more than I did Horizon 5's very green and yellow blob.

How does Papers, Please creator Lucas Pope deal with sharing his work in this era of AI? A severe lack of posting
This current era of the internet is very easily the worst one, even within its comparatively short existence. A myriad of reasons contributes to this, the most annoying and newest one being the advent of AI preying upon every last post you release unto the world. Artists are essentially in a constant state of looking over their shoulder in a dark alleyway in fear of their works being stolen. So what is Lucas Pope, creator of Papers, Place and Return of the Obra Dinn doing to combat this? Simply
Frostpunk 2's next bit of DLC literally turns up the heat with yet another environmental disaster to deal with: volcanoes
Frostpunk 2 is, by its very name, a cold game. That's its whole shtick, that the world is covered by an apocalyptic blizzard, and it's on you to figure out how to keep your city running amongst the harsh conditions. This includes keeping everyone warm, so it does tickle me that the game's next bit of DLC, revealed to be titled Breach of Trust, essentially says "no, not that warm." Read more
"Keeping teams together doesn't seem to matter to people, but for us it did": Star Wars Zero Company's director on what the industry can learn from XCOM 2
It seems that every week we're reporting on news of another wave of layoffs at a big game studio. In March alone, we saw 1000 staff let go at Epic Games, 124 at Eidos Montreal, and over 100 at Ubisoft's Red Storm Entertainment. And those are just the ones I can name without needing to rack my brain. In some cases, these "reorganisations" are to keep investors happy, in others they're painted as necessary for a studio to keep the lights on until its next paycheck. But every time a team loses memb
