"Keflings is a build-a-town resource management game. You appear in the game as a giant, picking up citizens and dropping them on tasks and personally constructing their buildings, piece by piece. It's cool, cute and entirely hands-on. There's something very compelling in a game like this, something that makes you want to build every building and lay them out perfectly. Truth be told; there's not a lot of "game" here... you keep building without any kind of consequence or urgency. So it's more like an activity... but a very distracting one."
"Happy Wednesday everyone! and welcome back to another delicious, tantalizing, and sensual offering of Mandate Radio, which could also be described as Indie Games AAA’s premier podcast. In other words, you are in for a treat. Pete and Franky get right back at it in what may be the most recent episode of Mandate Radio yet, where they final close the book on ‘DOTA 2′ conversations. They then talk ‘Avatar Trials’, ‘Legend of Grimrock’, ‘Gnomoria’, ‘A Kingdom of Keflings’, and ‘Kerbal Space Program’. For the news, the guys jump into the PS4 release feet first. Then, they finish off with a fresh rando section, which ends up a bit off-kilter from the norm. The result is a medley of fun and man love. Enjoy!"
Indie developer NinjaBee has announced that it will be debuting a new game at PAX East later this week titled Nutjitsu. A playable "in-development build" will be demoed at the developer's booth.
NinjaBee will also be hosting demo builds of the Windows 8 and Wii U versions of its popular city building game A World of Keflings. The developer will even give away a copy of the PC version of A Kingdom for Keflings for players who demo any of the games at their booth.
Indie games are becoming some of my favorites... great games that are much cheaper... not as much content, but still good gameplay experiences for less cheese. I'd rather pay for 5 or six good indie games rather than spend $60 on one crap game.
Here in the UK, we are about to start celebrating 60 years since the Queen came into power. Much like the rest of the Country, we here at PopBucket, have gone Jubilee mad. We have bunting, cakes and even some Queen Elizabeth style face masks at PopBucket HQ. But what games are on our playlist for the long weekend?
