A round-up of the interesting & insightful in gaming this week:
Stormgate, a promising RTS (Real-time Strategy) game made by an ex-Blizzard team with inspiration from C&C and StarCraft (two of my all-time favorites), was released this week in early access. So far I’m enjoying it and have not experienced the issues which produced some negative reviews. https://lnkd.in/eGm3UrX5
Simon Lockerbyand the fantastic team at Fateless Games is getting closer to demo at Gamescom. If you don’t know this team yet, you will soon! https://lnkd.in/eP7iKzS6
I lovedHendrik Lesser’s very real assessment of the Songs of Silence, I’ve been playing this game a lot lately and really do recommend giving it a go! https://lnkd.in/euiFP8Ky
Century Games’ Whiteout Survival, a mobile strategy game, reached an astounding $1B in revenue in less than a year and a half. Unlike Monopoly GO!, this game didn’t have a real IP. What a huge success story. https://lnkd.in/e9pSUfNQ
