For Digital Legends, it's been a whirlwind month. Prior to May the company had no experience developing for Mac OS X or the iPhone, but earlier this week, its newest game in development, Kroll, was featured on the keynote stage at WWDC.
The Barcelona, Spain-based game developer's engineering team has a background in PC, console and smartphone game development, but the iPhone was brand new territory, according to Unai Landa Bonilla, the company's handheld technology director.
"We decided that Kroll would be a side-scroller, that that would provide the best experience," said Bonilla. "All the things you need to make a great side-scroller are there in the iPhone's controls."
Players use the iPhone's accelerometer to jump up and down and can use touch-screen controls to activate weapons and other actions in the game.
"We call it 2.5D, because we're using polygons and 3D artwork," said Bonilla. "But the gameplay is similar to console games like God of War and Shadow of the Colossus, so we needed to find easy-to-use controls."
Leniu Games has started taking pre-registrations of its Nordic fantasy open world MMO, Flame of Valhalla. This game features the War of Gods erupted in the mystical realm of Asgard, known as the land of gods as seen in various movies and TV series. The game is expected to release in first half of May 2024.
The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.
Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.
This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming
Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.
I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.
