Starnaut: The Quirky Rogue-like Space Adventure - New Updates


Starnaut, the unique rogue-like indie game, is still in early access, but the updates are coming in steadily. The latest update was released less than a month ago, showcasing the team’s dedication to continuous development and improvement.

In this article, we’re presenting recent gameplay from September 2024 along with gameplay from February 2024 to showcase the game’s dev progress. The latest update addressed several bugs, and the development team is actively seeking feedback from supporters for potential new features as well. I've always respected that to the degree that solid updates and useful features are implmented. One notable addition is the beginning stage animation when your choice mask appears on your character, in addition to “Lost Data Copiasu".

Instead of just talking about the game, let’s dive into the latest gameplay since the update:

While the final release is still uncertain, Starnaut offers plenty of fun and replay value for just $7.99. If you like what you see, consider adding it to your collection. There’s also a prequel titled “Starnaut - Prologue Copiasu” available for $1.99. Personally, I believe this should be a reward for early supporters, but I digress. Other things I've noticed is the appearance of the... "Wonderful" character in the stage, who gets uncovered when you smash up bundles of scrap, the world is more fleshed out and I haven't come across any bugs.


Anyway, let's get into the initial gameplay (from February 2024):


Overall, I’m impressed with what I’ve seen so far, and I can tell there is more structure for sure. The team at Crim Co. has done a fantastic job, and fans of El Shaddai will be happy to know that you get cross over action in Starnaut. I haven’t had the chance to try out the new character yet, but I’m excited to continue exploring this spaced-out fantasy action game. I don't believe the El Shaddai character is the one that's imprisoned, but I will find out when I find him. If anything comes to mind that can improve the experience, I will certainly run it by the team. Now that I think about it, I think this would be a great experience on Switch!

Shoot for the stars and game on! (Takes off on a used rocket held together by indestructible duct tape.)

Tracer: The Time-Hopping Hero Deserves Her Own Adventure

So... yeah, we were chatting about games (shocking, I know), and Overwatch came up. I was looking at the various characters and the popularity of Tracer couldn't be ignored. I couldn't help but wonder what a single player game would be like... starring Tracer. I left it at that, but Sophima had other plans and turned it into a full blown article. So... I will be sharing this with Blizzard, and who knows, maybe we'll see an adventure one of these days. Game on! -  Blu 


In 2016, a spunky, time-manipulating hero captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. Overwatch's Tracer wasn't just popular - she was the most searched video game character online that year. With her cheeky grin, iconic catchphrases, and ability to zip through time and space, Tracer quickly became the face of Blizzard's team-based shooter. But as much as we love blinking around payload maps and pulse-bombing unsuspecting enemies, it's high time (pun totally intended) that Tracer got her own standalone single-player adventure. Let's dive into why this cheerful Cockney deserves to be the star of her own show!

A Backstory Begging to be Explored

Tracer's origin story is like a time travel movie pitch that writes itself. Lena Oxton, a plucky young pilot, volunteers for an experimental aircraft program. Things go sideways (or should I say temporally wonky?), and she ends up unstuck in time like some sort of adorable British version of Billy Pilgrim. Enter Winston, everyone's favorite gorilla scientist, who anchors her to our timeline with a chronal accelerator. Boom! Instant hero origin.

But here's the thing - we've only scratched the surface of this narrative gold mine. A Tracer-centric game could explore the psychological toll of being unmoored in time, the ethical implications of altering past events, and the responsibility that comes with such power. Plus, imagine the gameplay possibilities! We could hop through different eras, change the course of history, and maybe even team up with past or future versions of ourselves. It's "Quantum Leap" meets "Back to the Future," with a dash of "Doctor Who" thrown in for good measure.

Gameplay That's More Than Just a Blink of an Eye

Tracer's abilities in Overwatch are fun, but they're tailored for a multiplayer shooter. A single-player game could really flex those chronal muscles in exciting new ways. Imagine intricate time-based puzzles where you have to coordinate with your past self to overcome obstacles. Or high-stakes chase sequences where you're blinking through bustling city streets, rewinding mistakes, and leaving a trail of confused bystanders in your wake.

And let's not forget about that pulse bomb! In a single-player context, we could upgrade and modify it for all sorts of temporal shenanigans. Slow-motion explosions? Time-delayed detonations? The possibilities are as endless as time itself (which, coincidentally, is Tracer's playground).

A Cast of Characters Ripe for Cameos

While Tracer would be our leading lady, the rich cast of Overwatch characters provides ample opportunity for memorable guest appearances. Picture a stealth mission where Sombra reluctantly helps you hack through security systems. Or a globetrotting adventure where you race against Doomfist to secure powerful artifacts. Each cameo could introduce unique gameplay elements and flesh out the relationships we've only glimpsed in short animated clips and voice lines.



The Overwatch Universe Deserves to be Explored

Let's face it - as much as we love capturing points and escorting payloads, the Overwatch universe is begging for a deeper dive. A Tracer-led single-player game would allow us to really immerse ourselves in this vibrant, hopeful vision of the future. We could explore the gleaming streets of futuristic London, uncover the secrets of Watchpoint: Gibraltar, and maybe even take a trip to the moon base (you know Winston would insist on a visit).

More Than Just Another Online Multiplayer Game

Don't get me wrong - I love a good team-based shooter as much as the next person. But every game doesn't need to be an endless series of online matches. Sometimes, we crave a rich, story-driven experience that we can sink our teeth into at our own pace. A Tracer game could scratch that single-player itch while still feeling unmistakably "Overwatch."


A Potential Goldmine for Blizzard

Here's where things get exciting for the folks over at Blizzard HQ. A successful Tracer game wouldn't just be a one-off hit - it could pave the way for an entire series of Overwatch single-player adventures. Imagine a stealth game starring Sombra, a mech-piloting simulator with D.Va, or a narrative-driven RPG following Zenyatta's path to enlightenment. The possibilities are as diverse as the hero roster itself.

And here's the kicker - these games wouldn't cannibalize the Overwatch player base. If anything, they'd likely drive more interest in the main multiplayer game. Players who fall in love with Tracer's solo adventure might be inspired to hop online and try out her abilities in a competitive setting. It's a win-win situation that could expand the Overwatch universe in exciting new directions.

The Cavalry's Here (and She Needs Her Own Game)

Tracer isn't just a popular character - she's an icon waiting to break free from the constraints of team-based gameplay. Her time-bending abilities, infectious personality, and rich backstory make her the perfect candidate to lead Overwatch's charge into the realm of single-player experiences.

So come on, Blizzard! The temporal winds are blowing, the chronal accelerator is charged, and millions of fans are ready to embark on a solo adventure with everyone's favorite time-hopping hero. It's time (there's that word again) to give Tracer the starring role she deserves. After all, the world could always use more heroes - especially when they come in the form of charming, single-player experiences.

FTS: WW1 FPS Isonzo’s Free “Montello” Expansion Releases Today (PC, PS, Xbox)

WW1 FPS Isonzo Introduces Free “Montello” Expansion Today Alongside New Cosmetic DLC!

PARIS -- Sept. 5, 2024 -- BlackMill Games, the studio behind the WW1 Game Series, is proud to announce that more content arrives today in Isonzo, the latest entry in the series taking place on the Italian Front. Wage battles on a new, free map set in the burning woodlands of Montello Hill, master new weapons and outfit your character with new premium DLC.


Fight amidst fire in the new Montello map

The free “Montello” update introduces an exciting new map for players, inspired by the Second Battle of the Piave River, which occurred in June 1918. Also known as the Battle of the Solstice, this event saw Austro-Hungarian and Italian forces clash for control of Montello Hill and the surrounding region. As the last major Austro-Hungarian offensive on the Italian Front during WW1, it holds a key place in the conflict's history, now brought to life in Isonzo.

Fight across shelled farms, burning woodlands, ruined villages and narrow trenches as you advance on this new battlefield, making strategic decisions with your team along the way. To help you in this endeavor, two new weapons have been made available for Austro-Hungarian soldiers: the infamous Mosin Nagant rifle – available in-game as the M.91 Russisches Repetier-Gewehr – and the Schwerhandgranate fragmentation grenade.

For victory, whatever the cost may be!

In addition to this new expansion, players can also purchase a new premium DLC: the “Shellshocked Units Pack.” Inspired by the exhausting and unforgiving nature of war, it features injured and weary Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops not typically depicted on propaganda posters. From torn clothing and improvised equipment to stripped down uniforms and makeshift head accessories, soldiers can now convey the true cost of the Great War.

Find the perfect edition for you

Today also marks the release of the First Wave Edition of Isonzo, a new edition of the game with over 140 cosmetic items featured in the previously released First Wave of DLC: “Elite Units,” “Veteran Units,” “Reserve Units,” and “Alpine Units.” It’s the perfect way to get into Isonzo! For the complete Isonzo experience, the Ultimate Edition, gathering all paid DLC — hundreds of items in total —  is also available on PC and consoles.

Isonzo and the free “Montello” expansion are now available on SteamPlayStation 5 & 4Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with Xbox Game Pass, and the Epic Games Store. Get the game, its various editions and DLCs up to 67% off for a limited time.
