Buildings Have Feelings Too!

yogomi — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 16:29:24 +0000

Think you know city-management games? Think again! Merge Games, alongside indie developer Blackstaff Games, are proud to announce Buildings Have Feelings Too! will finally arrive on April 22, 2021. Originally announced in 2018, the Blackstaff team took the time to build the game right — from the foundation to the rooftop — and they’re excited to finally bring the quirky city-management / puzzle game to eager players everywhere. Buildings Have Feelings Too! will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One priced $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99.

Selected as one of Microsoft’s highlighted indie titles back at GDC 2019, Buildings Have Feelings Too! brings the city to life and turns its inhabitants into currency. Grow your city to a bustling metropolitan centre with an array of shops, offices, entertainment and amenities, but take care to keep your city thriving or risk losing your buildings being demolished forever. How will you react to the tides of change when your buildings have feelings too?

Imagine a city where buildings can walk and talk to one other. Each one has its own aspirations, hope and fears. Most of the time they’re just trying to get along with each other and make it through the day. Buildings Have Feelings Too! is a city management game with character. Players must grow their city while making sure the individual buildings thrive, or risk them being demolished forever.

As time progresses, new industries can be researched and new architectural marvels built. In turn, world events might cause buildings to fail and businesses to go bankrupt! Players must discover new ways to attend to their city’s needs. This could involve refurbishing a building or simply grabbing it by the hand and moving it to a nicer part of the neighbourhood.

As players progress they are able to grow their city, allowing for multiple neighbourhoods. Specialist areas, such as busy finance hubs or bustling theatre districts, become available. Additional layered attributes such as electricity supply, noise pollution and transport add more complexity and challenges for players.

Key Features

Discover and equip a wide range of businesses from the Victorian era right through to the modern day.
Befriend a range of Buildings, each with their own aspirations, hopes and fears, as they come to grips with the changing world around them.
Customise and rearrange your city’s layout by moving buildings and find the perfect combination for your city to grow.

Superliminal

yogomi — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 02:44:56 +0000

After a successful launch on the Epic Games Store last year that resulted in it being the #4 top-seller during launch week, developer Pillow Castle Games is happy to officially announce that their forced-perspective puzzle game, Superliminal, will be available on Steam for Windows, Linux, and macOS on November 5th, 2020! Soon, more players will be able to get lost in their thoughts (literally!) as they feel the satisfaction of figuring out each solution and advancing in this mysterious, surreal world. Check out the trailer and read about the game below:

I’m excited that players who prefer Steam will finally be able to dive in to this surreal world where everything seems to be just as it is, until it’s not.”

– Kate // Evolve PRSuperliminal is a single-player first-person puzzle game that uses perception as a mechanic. You play as someone who wakes up in a surprisingly lucid dream. As you complete puzzles to get to the next exit, certain patterns and truths become more apparent. In this game, everything is exactly what it seems to be! Wait, no… that’s not right. Everything is the opposite of what you think it is? That’s not correct either. This is a game about breaking expectations and thinking outside the box. What you see is what you get. Literally.

The Steam launch will include some awesome updates and new features! If you already purchased Superliminal on the Epic Games Store, you’ll receive all of these features, where compatible, too. Here’s a peek at what’s being added:

Steam Features:

Remote Play Optimized – Play the game streamed to your TV using Steam Link.
Steam Achievements – Achievements that launched alongside the console versions in July are now fully integrated with Steam’s Achievement system.
Steam Workshop [beta] – The devs are working on some very experimental features for Steam Workshop. More details will be revealed soon!

Challenge Mode:

The overwhelming response from the speed running community to Superliminal encouraged the devs to add a new Challenge Mode, which will score players per-level on metrics such as time to finish, grabs, and jumps.

Developer Commentary:

Players can turn on extensive developer commentary that has been added throughout the game, so they can learn the secrets and history behind the game’s development.

Ready to join Dr. Glenn Pierce in his “SomnaSculpt Dream Therapy” program? SUPERLIMINAL will launch on Steam with a celebratory 20% discount until November 12th, making it only $15.99 USD, and will return to the full $19.99 USD price after that. Be sure to add it to your Steam wishlist so you don’t miss out on this limited-time offer!
