Subnautica: Below Zero has received a major free update, What The Dock, which adds several important new features and game content. Subnautica: Below Zero players can now build a Seatruck dock for their vehicle, create custom game modes with custom gameplay options, and hopefully run into far fewer bugs thanks to a new dose of polish. New Tales from the Borderlands official trailer announces release this October →.← All DLC for Destiny 2 is free for a week.The mechanics of Moonbreaker also have something from Hearthstone. The game was intended to be fast matches can end in 10 minutes or less, especially in PvP where the turn timer is 75 seconds. Your team of 11 units (10 crew members and one captain) also functions as a deck. You have to spend a mana-like resource called Cinder to cast new units, play units from your hand, and use active crew and captain abilities, and this forces you to build a kind of mana curve. In each match, you can also choose a set of skills for your spaceship, which act on a turn-by-turn basis, adding another twist to every fight.Ĭleveland says Moonbreaker is “a cross between poker and chess”. Along with single-player and PvP, he points to a rogue-like Cargo Run mode that takes the game completely off the rails with wild collectibles and Hearthstone’s Dungeon Run-esque challenges. On the field, Moonbreaker plays like a turn-based strategy game with a strong XCOM feel. The main goal of each match is to kill the enemy captain using your own captain and team. As in XCOM, hard cover, soft cover, and other obstacles will affect your line of sight and attack chances. However, unlike most real life miniatures, your captains and crew members do not have an attack range and are not locked to a movement grid. They can go in any direction and try to attack just about anything, although distance and cover will affect accuracy. Moonbreaker began as a passionate project by Cleveland and co-founder Max McGuire roughly five years ago, just as the studio was wrapping up Subnautica Below Zero. The game takes place in an original sci-fi universe created by Mistborn author Brandon Sanderson, who announced his involvement with the new game last year. Plus, I do my own makeup so there’s that.“We want this game to last for decades, and for it to last for decades, we need to do something like that,” studio co-founder Charlie Cleveland says of the unit packs. Fortunately I already have some exceptional help in the cinematography department. I’m really good at learning new software but I may need to reach out for help on this one. I’m looking into Adobe After Effects and I’m trying to put together a viable animation in time for the campaign. All of this is leading up to the big Kickstarter video coming out on March 20th. I’m also going to be shooting some game play instructional videos. It should be rather messy and ridiculous. In addition to all of this I’m planning to start daily updates via video about the whole process starting on March 1st. Some of these are revisits from the initial Kickstarter from three years ago. I’m really looking forward to hearing what they have to say. I’ve also been lining up reviews for the game with reputable board gaming industry voices. When you spend over six years talking about something I guess people start to take you seriously! Everyone I have reached out to has been really generous with their time and knowledge. March 20th is rapidly approaching and Kickstarter waits for no man (or woman)! I have scheduled a series of interviews with martial artists, historians, and Taoist abbots with the intention of juxtaposing the discussions with examples from the game.
