Producer of Joylancer breaks silence on games development status on Twitter

For those of you who are unaware of the game Joylancer it is a indie platforming game with some very slick gaming mechanics and was released on the Early Access Steam store in November of 2014.

From then on, the game has gotten some decent reviews all the way up until their last update of September of 2015. From then on, morsels of info on the games development was only posted in the Joylancer Steam forum pages.

Producer Natasha Excelsia breaks her silence on Twitter on the various factors involved that ended the game on a slow development process and some confirmations on the games future.

Joylancer confirmed still being developed. Great news since I've really enjoyed this game.
I'm glad they're aware of their silence because we've been worried for years! Also, Joylancer 2 confirmed.

Straight off the bat, game development pressure is one of the reasons why the game was delayed. Further within the Tweet she goes on more in detail of the stresses of developing games.

During 2014 there was heavy political debate through GamerGate too so there's that. Her coming out as Trans can definitely hinder the development process.
Well, there you have it. A lot can happen during the development of the game and Natasha and her team were aware of it. At least it's great to hear that they're back on-track on developing this game out of EA and hopefully a sequel.

League of Legends has a ton of K-Pop references

For those of you who live under a rock League of Legends is one of the worlds largest and most popular multiplayer PC games at the moment. It is backed up by a strong esports community and is especially known to have the best players from Korea. With that being said though, it would be a no-brainer to include K-Pop references in League of Legends. Certain Champions have various skins you can purchase and included with them is their own exclusive dances which ties to a lot of K-Pop music videos. Check out the video below.

Want to revoke EA's Star War's License? Sign this Massive Petition

My face when I realized there's thousands of people who signed it already For those of you who are unaware, In 2013 EA has partnered with Disney to develop Star Wars video games. However, EA's newest Star Wars game Battlefront II has hit a HUEG-MONGOUS controversy where their entire content of progression has heavily relied on pay to win mechanics. It was more popularized on /r/StarWarsBattlefront when they realized you can become better at someone else in the game by buying loot crates in-game with real cash.You can however earn credits by playing but compared to purchasing loot crates in the game it will be a lot quicker for people who purchased it which isn't fair. If Battlefront 2 was free I'd be ok with it but the game has a massive 60 dollar pricetag. Now they're taking it a step further by introducing a change.org petition and as of this writing they're at 65K. If you want revoke EA's license (which I hope you do) please do so over here.

Nidhogg 2 Review

Well this time around they heavily improved upon the formula. And one of the most obvious notes is it improved on the graphics quite significantly. Instead of simple 8-bit graphics it seems like it reached to a more 16-bit approach, showing off even more silliness off of the game. From the first Nidhogg you didn't have much customization of your main character. You can add a bunch of silly clothing to him/her according to your taste. I hope they will add more customizations in the near future I like it quite a lot. And one of the more intriguing additions to the sequel is more weapons. Unlike the first you only had a rapier. This one has added a Broadsword, Dagger, and a new ranged weapon, bows. For singleplayer content everything is the same you have to go through 10 levels and win. But I liked knowing they added more detailed levels to keep things interesting. Now for multiplayer, you got regular matchmaking and a newly implemented ranked mode.
