Omni Systems has announced that its "ambient real-time strategy game" Eufloria (formerly Dyson), which was a finalist for the Vision and Grand Prize awards at the 2009 Independent Games Festival, will release on PlayStation Network some time in early 2011. The studio intends to self-publish the title.
Eufloria is already available for PC through download services like Steam, but this edition will feature improvements and additions to the indie game's mechanics, interface, and graphics, as well as new content. The developer comments that with all the enhancements in the PSN version, it would be more accurate to describe the new edition as "Eufloria ++".
The UK’s video games industry body Tiga has called for the products to be treated like other creative industries such as television or film, rather than mere “software.”
For the concluding article of Part III in our ongoing So You Want to Work in Video Games series, game journalists discuss the Media that taught, influenced or otherwise inspired them to write about video games. We chose some of the most talented writers we know to write the entries compiled below; with the notion in mind that this small body of media might allow our readers to engage with the books, films and video games that nudged these same creatives one step forward in their craft; or moved them in a decided direction or by way of some brilliant intangible sparked a moment of bona fide inspiration. Whether you are a budding game journalist, an old vet or someone just looking for some powerful and engaging entertainment, stick around.
This week Ian Riley and Joshua Wise talk about Eufloria, Gunpoint, Analogue: A Hate Story, both Amnesia games, Rogue Legacy, and Battlefield 4's continuing problems. Then they continue with critical readings of press releases, and a discussion of the problems with our multiplayer identities.
Beautiful game.
