MWEB GameZone writer, Delyth Angharad, takes a look at the gamer developer scene in South Africa. She takes a look at the games, the fans and the developers.
It turns out that Crescent Moon isn't just giving away Mines of Mars and Neon Shadow on Android today. Far from it.
Both games are now free to play from now on, losing the premium model they previously had. Yes, they're supported by ads.
TouchArcade: Just over a year ago, Crescent Moon and Tasty Poison Games released Neon Shadow [$0.99], a mobile first-person shooter that was meant as a throwback to the old-school frag fests of the '90s, and they totally nailed it. Neon Shadow had awesome visuals and a really cool sci-fi single-player campaign, but it also featured an online multiplayer mode that was breezy, fast-paced and fun. I love the more complex FPS games with weapon upgrading tiers, different playable classes, and tons of bells and whistles, but on mobile some of the funnest fragging I've had is with classics like Doom and Wolfenstein. Neon Shadow feels like a modern game that somehow captured the soul of those old classics.
Would love if this came to PS4 with updated visuals,better controls and higher player count.
45 slimy jumping levels and a shell-less snail on a mission. High-quality, goofy, sticky puzzling fun.
Lovely to see this kind of game development in South Africa.
What a great idea.. Danny Day is awesome. A true national treasure..
Good to know that there is a local resource!
As a reply to all of the above - it was a really inspiring event, had loads of fun there. Really recommend it to anyone in the area!
