01/03/2014 - Cities in Motion 2 Announces New Monorail Expansion and Linux SupportCities in Motion 2 Announces
New Monorail Expansion and Linux Support Single-rail
Vehicles and Multiple-platform Availability Coming to Transit Strategy Game
STOCKHOLM —
January 3, 2013 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games and a jumper of turnstiles, today announced
the forthcoming release of Marvellous Monorails, a new expansion for Cities in Motion 2, the transit-planning
strategy game from Colossal Order. Paradox also announced that the entire Cities in Motion franchise will be released
for Linux computers, allowing strategy and simulation fans to experience the game on an entirely new platform. Linux support
will be added the same day the new expansion is released.
“We believe in Linux as a platform for the future
of gaming,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “Gamers who currently use Linux are a smart and demanding
bunch, and they expect versatility and an experience that fits their personal preferences, which makes our games a great fit.
We’re bringing Cities in Motion to Linux because we believe it’s just the type of game that Linux users
will enjoy.” In Marvellous Monorails, Cities in Motion 2 players can add five all-new monorail
vehicles to their transit fleets, and give their cities a new look with elevated rails to carry them. Monorails, which work
best on circular layouts, are ideal for inner-city connections, and offer a more affordable alternative to metro lines, with
a choice of cars from big-and-slow to speedy-but-expensive.
In Cities in Motion 2, players must design,
construct, maintain, and expand a multifaceted transit network that serves the needs of a growing city. Fleets of vehicles,
including buses, trains, ferries and subways, must be assembled and set in motion on player-created tracks and routes, providing
affordable and efficient transit between growing residential and commercial centers. As players engineer their systems, the
city will grow dynamically around them, keeping players on their toes with increased population, congestion, and budgetary
concerns.

12/31/2013 - Endless Nights now available on App StoreEndless Nights Now Available
Explore an ever-changing world in Endless Nights,
a new rogue-like role-playing game by Nations Software. Tired of the same old quests? Sick of playing a great
game and then replaying the same game? Endless Nights features randomized quests, areas, dungeons, caves, towers and
even multiple end-game bosses, which makes each new adventure, well... a new adventure.
The skill-based system
creates a play-as-you-want atmosphere, with no class choices or skill trainers. Instead, players simply play the game,
and the choices they make direct their class. For example, a character may either pray to the gods for help or cast
magical spells, but they cannot do both. Once the character chooses to cast a spell, they have made that choice.
Endless Nights is a rogue-like game, which means death is permanent and the challenge is to see how long you can survive.
Building on this theme, a new permanence system allows players to choose a specific profile, some of which allow them
to carry over some of their gold or gems to their next character.
The crafting system allows the use of manastones
to create magical weapons or armor, and the themed areas will have adventurers clearing spiders out of a forest or bandits
out of a tower. Each play through is different, and with so many different skill and ability combinations, Endless Nights
provides an endless amount of adventure.
Endless Nights is available in the iTunes App Store.
