Larva Game Studios’ Last Day On Earth

Developer secures initial funding to begin development of original IP. Guadalajara, Mexico - November 23, 2011 - Larva Game Studios is proud to announce the development of their first self-published title, Last Day on Earth. Based on an original IP, Last Day on Earth is a cooperative third-person shooter slated for console and PC release in late 2012. In order to better facilitate the development of LDOE, along with other current and future projects, Larva is taking steps to expand globally. "These are very exciting times for us," said Jorge Morales, CEO of Larva Game Studios. "We have been working closely with the Mexican government for some time, and along with a private investor, we now have the capacity to expand our studio and begin a new era. That new era begins with Last Day on Earth." Added Jorge, "We have a great talent base around us, and we are continually looking to make the team stronger. I won't deny that LDOE is an ambitious game, sure, but without ambition you are hard pressed to innovate." Hunkered down on The Island, an abandoned military island city which is divided into vast zones, you are part of a small band of surviving humans that must take their last stand against the genocidal alien invaders. To ensure your survival, you need to collect a variety of weapons, explosives, traps and items which you can combine and customize into more powerful creations. Last Day on Earth allows use of the highly detailed environments to your advantage by strategically and sometimes cooperatively destroying areas – and whatever you do, whether it is laying a trap or taking out a group of aliens with a building's wall, the persistent world will keep track of everything within that game session, creating a unique experience every time you play. Last Day on Earth is a cooperative third-person survival shooter with a strong emphasis on strategic play, and playable with up to 8 players online.

The World's First iPad Case for Baby Strollers

ORLANDO, Fla. - Kids love the iPad! It's interactive, convenient, media-rich, easy to use (we can keep going, but you get the idea). The iStroll Kid allows parents to connect the iPad to any stroller and go. While your child is busy watching a video or interacting with a educational app, parents are free to run errands, shop, go for a walk, whatever. Meanwhile, your little one stays entertained or educated or both, for up to 10 hours (but please, don't leave your child in the stroller for that long. That's just cruel.) It's pretty simple though: the iStroll Kid connects to your stroller's legs. Once it's attached, you insert the iPad into the case and you're ready to go. You can also quick disconnect the iStroll Kid from the stroller using the quick-disconnect feature. The iStroll Kid can also connect to the back seat of your car, so your little one can continue to watch movies on long road trips or quick runs to the grocery store. No more portable DVD players or expensive in-car entertainment systems - just strap it to your back seat. The Idea I'll spare you the marketing lingo and tell you what the impetus was for the creation of this little gizmo. When my wife and I went anywhere - to the grocery store, to the mall, to run a short 10-minute errand - if we had to take my son with us, that errand was guaranteed to become a nightmare. See, my son doesn't like drives and he doesn't like staying in his stroller. He's easily displeased in both places and when he is, the decibel level of his screaming is enough to drive dogs wild. So we did what many parents in our technologically-dependent world do. We bought a DVD player for the car. Which totally worked - in the car. The stroller, however, was still a challenge. Right around that time, the iPad was released. Movies! Games! Apps! Bright and Shiny Colors! It was my dream come true. More importantly, my son took to it like a fish to water. I thought about duct-taping it to his hands, but my wife (and the Department of Children and Families) had a thing or two to say about that. So, I set about finding a way to mount the iPad in two key places I needed it - my car and my sons stroller. We created the first prototype and put it to the test. My son was the beta tester here, we have a video at istrollkid.com showing how it works and our first test of taking my son to the mall. My son won't sit in his stroller for more then 5 minutes, but with the istrollkid we were able to walk around the mall for one hour. my son was calm for the entire duration of our mall trip. That's when I knew i had something. For more information please visit istrollkid.com.

RaiderZ News MMO Coming Soon

The Hunt Is On
Gigantic Monster Battles to Enter the MMO Stage Next Year RaiderZ, the newly announced title from Berlin based publishers Frogster, will be setting adventurers an entirely new breed of challenge when they fight for survival in MAIET Entertainment's sumptuous free to play title, set to arrive next year. A new trailer, in which the gigantic dragon 'Sorena' is rudely awakened from his slumber, gives gamers a thrilling insight into the world of RaiderZ. Survival of the Skilled RaiderZ features an unconventional non-targeting combat system where players have direct control over their characters in battle, a departure from traditional point-and-click MMOs. Players will be able to choose between six unique character specialisations that they must use to take down monsters roaming around the expansive world.  These enemies possess a great deal of physical strength and intelligence and only with a solid battle strategy, a great deal of precision and some sly off-the-cuff manoeuvres will players survive to see their foes drawing their final breath. "With RaiderZ, we have licensed a game that will make a serious splash in the MMO market. The graphics, the combat system and the numerous epic monsters are only a few of the qualities that make this game so special, setting RaiderZ apart from the usual fare", said Daniel Ullrich, CMO and Manager of Frogster, adding, "We will work together closely with MAIET and bring all of our experience to the table in order to achieve the best possible result for the players. We're looking forward to an exciting and successful future with the developers." Joongpil 'Venister' Cho, CEO of MAIET, also shared his enthusiasm about the future collaboration: "We have high hopes for RaiderZ, and given Frogster's proven success within the MMO genre, we are confident that RaiderZ will be a success when it arrives in Europe next year." RaiderZ is currently slated to appear towards the end of 2012 as a free download available throughout Europe, initially in the languages English, German and French.

Gamepot Unleashes the Magic of Wizardry Online

Japanese MMO Publisher Seeks Partners for Worldwide Distribution Los Angeles –  Leading Japanese massively multiplayer online (MMO) game publisher Gamepot Inc. is continuing its march to bring Wizardry Online to gamers around the world. Launching the open beta in Japan in October to an overwhelmingly positive response, Gamepot quickly added multiple new servers to accommodate the more than 100,000 sign-ups acquired on the first day of testing alone. Commercial service is now live in Japan and Gamepot is working to deliver an English version to fans in the U.S. and Europe in early 2012. "For Gamepot, it is truly amazing to see so many enthusiastic fans of the 'Wizardry' franchise participate in the open beta testing, and now live service, of Wizardry Online," said Shuhei Ueda, president of Gamepot. "Bringing this innovative and legendary series to a new platform has been a rewarding process and we're looking forward to continuing our world-wide rollout to fans around the globe." A revival of the legendary Wizardry titles, Wizardry Online is the next-generation incarnation of a series that has been called the godfather of the role-playing game (RPG) genre. Wizardry first came to computers in the early 1980s, and the popularity of its "Dungeons & Dragons"-style gameplay led to the creation of countless sequels, spin-offs and collections across multiple platforms. Developed in conjunction with Japanese game studio Headlock Inc., Wizardry Online offers multiplayer features new to the Wizardry series, including party play and player versus player (PvP) combat, while maintaining the classic style for which the series is beloved. Hardcore gamers will revel in the return of the complex dungeons that punctuated earlier iterations, and soon will find that the game is fraught with significant peril: Wizardry Online features permanent death, in which player characters can be removed from the game upon dying, creating a more immersive experience. Gamepot is currently in discussions with potential publishing partners in the U.S. and Europe for an English-language launch of Wizardry Online next year. For more information about Wizardry Online, please visit: http://www.gamepot.co.jp/wiz_en/.

ELIGIUM’s Races and Classes

New ELIGIUM Website Introduces Pandas and Elves Berlin publisher Frogster released the official website of the fantasy MMO ELIGIUM – The Chosen One earlier today. At www.eligium.com, fans will now find a forum as well as a growing library of in-depth information and videos on the game's races and classes. To start off, the details of the pandas and the elves were revealed today. The Pandas – Masters of Martial Arts For years they train in the secluded monasteries of their homeland, tempering body and spirit with the aspiration of becoming a monk. Once they have achieved this status, they are able to harness the power of their chi – the energy that flows through every living being – and implement it in battle. Using this life force, they instil fear in their foes, both in close combat as well as long-range fighting. Like the other races, pandas are given the choice between two skill specialisations once they reach level 15. One such specialisation is that of the Fire Breather. Panda monks with this designation particularly excel at fortification spells and long-range magical attacks, for example Breath of Fire, which hurls a mighty blast of flame at unsuspecting opponents. In contrast, pandas who opt for the other specialisation develop into terrifying close-combat fighters. Through their training, they can learn to create several clones of themselves for support in battle. The Elves – Arcane Forest Dwellers The elves are one of the oldest of the four races of Galgaron. These mysterious creatures have inhabited the dense forests since the dawn of time, and over the centuries they have become true masters of long-range combat. As hunters and trappers, they have mastered archery like no other race and always hit their mark, no matter how distant. Like the pandas, elves also have two specialisation options. The first is that of the Scout, who is able to attack with deadly precision. The second specialisation is of a more defensive nature. Elves who choose this path learn to become almost invisible, darting from one shadow to the next and expertly utilising every possible opportunity for concealment.
