We like to call Dead Cells a RogueVania (yeah we like to make up words), and by that we mean the illegitimate child of a modern Roguelite (Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky, etc.) and an old-school MetroidVania (Castlevania: SotN and it's ilk).
Regarding the latter, Interconnected levels and progressive unlocking of access to the island provides you with a real incentive to explore your surroundings. Add in a degree of evolution for your character and permanent weapon upgrades and you can see where Dead Cells borrows from the long line of MetroidVanias that precede it.
At the end of the day though, it's YOUR skills as a player that matter most! Roguelites are about constantly getting better, until what was an insurmountable obstacle becomes a walk in the park. Unforgiving combat wed to the absence of any kind of safety net makes for an adrenalin pumping ride each and every run and unrivaled replayability.

Enshrouded World is a vehicular combat experience that features non-linear progression and survival elements not seen in the genre until now. These features complement each other and work to build a strong relationship between player and hovercraft that must be maintained in order to survive.
-The Story So Far-
The 21st century saw the dwindling of resources, large scale extinction and an overpopulation crisis that led to a desperate final effort to prevent further destruction to Earth's ecosystem. Rapid progression in the field of virtual reality offered the opportunity to escape from the increasingly dire conditions on Earth; an attractive proposition that saw millions migrate to a series of underground facilities. These facilities were provided with an independent oxygen supply generated by artificial environments housing a wide range of flourishing fauna and flora.
Tensions rose between the limited law enforcement institutions on the surface and the disgruntled masses leading to the establishment of an autocratic entity known as the Watchdog. The Watchdog erected small police states that ensured the safety and security of the underground facilities providing them with the most sophisticated and lethal security devices available. As time passed and the Earth began to heal more rapidly habitable zones were established and now the time has come for everyone to return to the surface.
Players assume the role of Jill, a botanist who has been plucked from a Watchdog police state and placed within a team overlooking the exodus from an oxygen production facility. The Watchdog's intentions with Jill aren't as simple or innocent as they may seem and while Jill's life prior to Watchdog subsumption has been buried it's beginning to catch up with her.
-Gameplay Outline-
*Enshrouded World breathes new life into vehicular combat, a genre consisting mostly of action orientated racing games by incorporating survival elements and a unique approach to the way in which the player progresses through the world.
*The key components of Enshrouded World's gameplay are combat, exploration, survival and management which are intertwined by a central relationship between the player and their hovercraft. Resources important to the player's survival are scattered throughout environments that may only be scavenged outside the safety of the hovercraft. In this vulnerable state the player must manage their time wisely as a finite amount of oxygen and dramatically decreased defense against enemies await the player.
*The player always has a number of options when it comes to survival, confrontations with enemies can be evaded and focusing on obtaining certain items will offer more paths that lead to a greater amount of supplies in the long term. Since each environment in the game is connected to another in a web as opposed to a straight line there are many branching paths the player can take to progress in a non-linear way at the pace they want.

This zine is a collection of life experiences, commentary on struggle, and oddly enough my own version of a power-fantasy. I have come to think that we have a backward idea of power, and perception of strength. We always have, and I think this is a byproduct of a historically patriarchal system. From religion, to politics, to economics, power is viewed as how many people you can subjugate. Respect is how many people fear you because of your power. How you can get what you want at the expense of others, how you are the biggest dog in the dog-eat-dog world that we have created for ourselves...
Our popular entertainment has always drawn from this point of view. It's simply fact. You use your power to hurt your enemies and eliminate them.
We don't really have a concept, in our culture, or discussion about alternative views of power from a survivor's standpoint. How is it like for survivors? Are people that live with trauma strong? Are people with mental disorders, or PTSD strong? Why is suicide seen as selfish and weak, when the person that lived with it got as far as they did? We don't popularly view survivors, victims, traumas, etc, as strength. It is a weakness, and I don't like that. I think this is because we have created a culture where we cannot really ever move past pain. We don't teach people how to heal, to overcome, or be powerful. We teach people to be perpetual survivors. We live with pain, but no way of transcending it. I think a lot of this can be credited to how we view "strength". I don't think the icon, epitome, of strength should be how many people you can hurt, conquer, overcome, but how much of this abuse you can overcome. How long you can live with what happened to you. How strong you are for being here. How powerful you are for being strong because you have no other option but to be strong.
Surviving is one thing, but living with it is an entirely different fight, and I think this is where examples of real strength are.
If approached from this point of view then it is an obvious conclusion that you should be celebrated simply for being here.
You are normal for your imperfections, and the way you cope. You are the hero in the story of your life, and you have every right to be proud.
These are a collection of very abstract life experiences, things I felt while going through hard times, and how I felt, or moved on, afterward.
A lot of it is presented via humor, or creates ridiculous circumstances, because I feel like life is ridiculous. It's one damn thing after the other and after a while there's nothing left to do but laugh at it. Humor is what helps take the edge off, perhaps even create a platform for transcendence. Either way, it has been cathartic.

Forts is a physics-based RTS PC game of building, battling and causing rubble, in which players must build their base from scratch, load it out with heavy weaponry, and blast their opponent's fort to bits.
As well as featuring the traditional RTS mechanics of resource collection, tech tree development, and weapon unlocking, Forts adds the excitement of building a structurally sound base, and defending it from attackers, who are doing the same in real-time.
Forts features a single-player campaign, which follows three super-powers as they battle it out over the last of the planet's resources. Through the tutorials and 28 challenging missions, players will learn the physics, features and controls required to build a successful fort.
The game also features online multiplayer, in which up to eight players can take each other on in Team Death Match or Team Co-op mode, in which control of forts and resources are shared. Nine commander characters, all with game-changing abilities, ensure no two battles are the same.
Four Horsemen is a deeply narrative life sim, similar in form but not style to Japanese visual novels like Fate/stay Night and the non-dungeoneering sections of the Persona series. You control a party of four immigrant teenagers who find a derelict, abandoned Second World War era machinegun bunker at the edge of town, and turn it into a secret clubhouse, buying, crafting, and scavenging items to make it feel more like home. In a microcosm of the building of a real immigrant community, the fate of the clubhouse, and the purpose it serves, is up to you. No matter what you choose, cultural differences, xenophobia, historical trauma, and the natural rhythms of your adoptive country will hinder you at every turn.
The central mechanic is that the game's protagonists hail from one of twelve different fictional homelands, each of which has its own history, cultural values, and loanword vocabulary. At the start of the game, you pick a homeland, and the game matches you with an adoptive country in a historical relationship that echoes the lived experience of an immigrant crisis from real-life history. Like a real immigrant, you'll have to figure out the cultural values and expectations of your new home to produce the best possible outcomes, and navigate the personal consequences of your homeland's fraught relationship with your adoptive country. No two countries play alike, and the optimal set of choices in one country may lead to tragic, catastrophic failure in another.
