The auditory magic of Mega Man lives on in shovel form We’ve been posting aboutShovel Knighta lot. It’s not our fault. It’s Yacht Club Games’s fault. They just keep announcing new things that make us feel great, so we have to write about them. Those are the rules. The latest “feel great” news is perhaps the greatest so far.

Best of 2014 [Image credit:Mike Lambert] Friends can make any game worth playing. Growing up, couch play was a staple in my household. I would often have videogame themed birthday parties, inviting all of my buddies over to have fighting game tournaments and, one time, aTenchu IIlevel editor challenge. While a great single-player game can always elicit strong emotional reactions within oneself, a great multiplayer game lets you share those emotions with your loved ones....

It already looked promising in UE3, but the team hopes to be more “futureproof” with UE4, an engine it believes is the best in town. “We switched over to UE4, in part because we knew it would look so much better right away, but also because we really want this game to have a long future, and clearly the future is next gen engines like UE4,” explained Phosphor’s Chip Sineni....

Ray wastelling us aboutParatopica few months ago, and now the first-person horror title is gearing up for a Definitive Cut release onSteamanditch.io.
