The Sausage Factory ·

2017/08/11

Time is often fiddled with in video games and some developers choose run rampant with the idea that it is indeed fluid. ECHOPLEX is a game that is built from the concept of time being fluid as it requires the player to focus on what they have done second before in order to solve a series of puzzles. It does this by having the player directly interact with their past selves. Brilliantly put together, show host Chris ORegan was enthralled by ECHOPLEX and reached out to Output Games, the makers of

2017/05/19

Poker is a dull game, so to make a video game about it that doesn't include the exchange of actual money is a pretty brave thing to do. But Lunchtime Studios has thrown caution to the wind and has made Lords of New York. This is a Poker game that focuses on the people who play the game rather than the game itself. Characters are strong and distinct from one another as they play in a simulation of 1930 New York. Show host Chris ORegan first encountered Lords of New York at PAX West 2015 and now 2

The Sausage Factory: 128 – Semispheres by Vivid Helix

The Sausage Factory ·

2017/05/12

Puzzle games are tricky to develop as they do have a tendency to outstay their welcome as the difficulty ramps up to frustrating levels. Semispheres, a game by Vivid Helix avoids this by employing a very gentle learning experience as new concepts are introduced to the player at a manageable pace. Based on the concept of simultaneous controls of two objects that move independently based on the right and left hand thumb-sticks or keyboard controls, the player can link actions between these two objects

2017/04/21

DriveDriveDrive is a game that celebrates inept AI and the multi-tasking. It is more of a puzzle arcade game than a driving one, as it requires players to race through many copies of the same track at the same time. If this sounds at all headache inducing, you would be right to think that. But this does not diminish its entertainment value. Show host Chris ORegan chats to Different Cloth about how DriveDriveDrive came to be and why it exhibits such

When show host Chris ORegan first heard about Captain Kaon and its concept of being a hybrid between gravity based twin stick shooter, he immediately became interested. Meshing game genres is something that can either go horribly wrong or so very right. Thankfully the latter is true for Captain Kaon and the man behind its creation, James Buckle, agreed to chat with Chris about his long career in video game development and his eventual decision to go it

Deep in the basement of the now demolished Earls Court exposition hall show host Chris ORegan was standing with a few thousand keen gamers all waiting to get into the main hall for EGX 2015. As Chris waited he found himself completely engorged with a game on his 3DS, a game that many were speaking to him about as he descended into the depths of what is now a large pit in the ground. This game was Steamworld Dig and now, a year later, Chris finds himself talking to Image and Form, the people who were

2017/03/31

While at EGX 2016 show host Chris ORegan was encouraged to seek out and play Tethered at their booth that was tucked away near the very popular Battlezone one. Both games were running on PSVR, but that is pretty much all they have in common as games. Tethered turned out to be a god-sim within a VR environment that had the player watching the world they were in charge of and all the little folk within it.Chris chats to Nigel Middleman from Secret Sorcery about his very long career in video game
