I was an early adopter of Unreal Engine 4 and always wanted to get into game development, he says. Originally envisioning a role as a 3D modeler on a team, the accessibility of Unreal Engine inspired him to take on the challenge of crafting every aspect of a game himself.

German indie developer Vivid Storm Interactive is a three person team that started when they launched a Kickstarter campaign for Ascent of Ashes in 2021.

Humans in general care a great deal about status - both having status and showing status. In real life, this can be through clothing, cars, homes, family, connections, the ability to get into "exclusive" places, and so on. In multiplayer games and online communities, it is just as important for players to be able to express their status. In one of the earliest sprite-based MMOGs I played, there were only a handful of different hair styles and no outfits, so players could only really express thei

At the outset of 2024, the most often expressed concern about this year in the games business was that it was going to have a very sparse and underwhelming release calendar, at least compared to the spectacular heights of 2023. This was to some extent a ripple effect from the pandemic years: a backlog of delayed software made its way onto the market during 2023, meaning that with many major studios set to be in the early stages of new projects, 2024's line-up did not look very inspiring.
