04/09/2014 - Secret Ponchos Gearing Up for PC and PS4 Early AccessSecret Ponchos Gearing
Up for PC/Early Access Release in Addition to PS4
Vancouver-based
Switchblade Monkeys is excited to announce that its spaghetti western multiplayer combat game, Secret Ponchos, is not only
rustlin' its way to PS4, but will also be coming to PC later this year.
The team is busy getting Secret Ponchos
ready for a beta launch this summer via Early Access, allowing them to ensure the final experience on both PC and PS4 is the
best it can be. With a game like this - which blends exciting arena combat with the mastery of fighting games - Switchblade
Monkeys feels it's important to get as many hands on the game as possible during beta. Early Access will help them do that,
while the additional balance and polish will carry over to PS4 and the final PC version.
"Since we first previewed
the game at PAX East there has been an overwhelming amount of demand to bring the game to PC in addition to PS4, and we always
promised we would do our best," said Yousuf Mapara, creative director at Switchblade Monkeys. "We realized Early
Access would be the perfect program for this; it creates an environment where we can self-fund development of the PC version
to make it a reality, in addition to exposing all versions of the game to a broader round of polish and tuning that you can
only get when developing with an actual beta community of players."
Play Secret Ponchos at PAX East. We'll
have more news about the game in the coming weeks. Visit http://secretponchos.com for more information.

Iron Galaxy and Deep Silver Volition, creator of Saints Row, were connected by a series of tweets from fans:
• A fan of Divekick and Saints Row, @aSF_Gir had just finished the intro to Saints Row IV, and mentioned that Saints

noting that Saints Row IV might contain a few Divekicks of its own. As any game should!

call on the support of the famous Dubstep Gun while Divekicking his opponents in the face. A brand new stage, “Da Beech”,
is also being added to Addition Edition +, and existing owners of Addition Edition will have the Johnny Gat and Da Beech updates
rolled out to them for free after the game launches on Playstation® 4 and Xbox One.

04/07/2014- Flat Earth Games Presents Town Craft for iOS and MACFLAT EARTH GAMES BUILDS TOWNCRAFT FOR iPHONE AND MAC
Sydney, Australia
– April 7, 2014 – Flat Earth Games, the Australian development studio that launched the successful crafting-building-exploration
game TownCraft last fall on iPad, has unveiled its newest construction –TownCraft
will arrive on iPhone and Mac this spring and will update the current iPad version. The new game adds a whole new level of
depth and challenge and an impressive volume of new content, including four new levels, 30 new resources, new building types
and structures, 44 new quests, and much more.
“We are excited and delighted to bring the TownCraft experience
to the iPhone and Mac players,” said Leigh Harris, Lead Designer. "Players around the world have provided superb
feedback, letting us know they genuinely appreciate the Zen-like approach to game design, huge amount of content we've been
adding and the lack of in-app purchases. We believe players will love the expansive world and the depth of gameplay in our
new version of TownCraft.”
TownCraft is an addictive, relaxing, and non-violent
crafting and city-building game, set in medieval times; players are alone in the wilderness and must start a new town to be
the toast of the kingdoms. Gamers begin by crafting the most basic of tools, tying a sharpened stone to a small piece of wood
as a hatchet, but before long the town will be teeming and with travellers from all across the land. They'll buy wares at
the local shops, come to check out the sights, have some food and drink at the tavern players build. They'll come looking
to trade, work, fish, farm, forage, hire, fire, and explore the bizarre and distinctive world of TownCraft.
Key Features in TownCraft
- Play a new world every time – no two worlds will ever be the same thanks to procedurally generated maps!
- Players will test their skills at crafting, with hundreds of different objects
to create.
- Gamers can build bridges, jetties, workshops and
windmills in the effort to create a fully functioning and self-sufficient town.
- Players will order around muck-ridden peasants, who will manage their gold mines, stone quarries, crop fields, lakes,
shops and taverns.
- Users will play in a world with a real-time
day and night cycle – workers will wake up, go to work, hit the tavern to meet some passing travellers later at night,
and then get some shut-eye again.
- Gamers can explore each
new world and unearth countless resources, from cotton to canary eggs, gold to grapes, wheat to wax and stone to silver.
- Players will follow an off-beat story as kingdoms vie for control.
TownCraft is produced with the support of Screen
Australia, and is currently available on iPad on the APP Store for $4.99 (with no in-app purchases); it will be out on iPhone
and the Mac this spring. For more information, keep in touch with Flat Earth Games on their Website www.flatearthgames.com.au, ‘like’ them on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter @fegames.
