Risen 3 is apparently covered in a new issue of German magazine PC Games,
as
DSOGaming has some images of Piranha Bytes' action/RPG they explain were
leaked. They also say the article indicates the unannounced game's title will be
Risen 3: Titan Lords, and that it will be an open-world game in a medieval
setting.
The
Kickstarter page for Shadowrun Returns has word that beta keys for
Shadowrun: Dragonfall are heading out to those who bought the
Shadowrun
Returns Collector's Edition through the Harebrained Schemes website. Here's
word, which includes an update on the DRM-free version :
We are excited to
let you know that we have begun emailing Shadowrun: Dragonfall keys to all
Backers and anyone who ordered the Shadowrun Returns Collector’s Edition from
the HBS website. You can add the game to your Library with your key when you
receive it, but note that it will not pre-load. You can download the game when
it unlocks on Thursday, February 27 at 10am PST.
It will take a few days to get all the emails out, so watch your inbox and be
sure to check your spam folder. If you don’t receive it by the end of the day on
Monday, please contact us at info@hbs-studios.com . We thank you for your
patience in advance!
Please note that if you previously requested a GOG.com key for Shadowrun
Returns, we will begin sending Dragonfall GOG keys early next week. If you have
not requested a GOG or Humble Store key yet and would like one, no problem! Just
shoot us an email and we’ll get that to you as soon as we can.
Update on the DRM-free Version of the Game
We've been so impressed with the level of service that our partners at GOG.com
and Humble Store have been able to provide that we have decided to let them
handle all future DRM-free updates. This will allow us to stay focused on
Shadowrun. If you haven’t requested DRM-free keys yet, and would like one,
please send us your Kickstarter email address along with which partner you
prefer so you can continue to have access to those updates.
Garry's Mod author and not-80s electro-pop artist Garry Newman
tweets
that his Source-engine sandbox has just passed an impressive income threshold:
"Garry's Mod has just broke $30,000,000 !" Continuing the frankness, he follows
with
another
tweet indicating
Rust has actually now earned even more, saying: "And
if my calculations are correct - we have now officially made more money from
Rust than Garry's Mod. 0.34% more!" This is in part because they make more from
Rust than GMod, as
he explains
"in Rust we get 70%" as opposed to Garry's Mod,
which pays
less: "in GMod we get 50% or $2.50 if it's part of a package." Thanks

Tim Schafer's comments
about the backlash to
the news that
Broken Age was being broken into two parts includes his feeling that this
was because non-backers of the project were not as well-informed as their
backers. "That was really a lesson for us, learning that even though our backers
are really well informed, the rest of the world hadn't really heard of us since
the Kickstarter happened," Schafer said. "It's weird because the Kickstarter
experience had been wading in a sea of love from the fans. Because you don't
just get money. You get all this positive support from the backers who believe
in what you're doing. They hang around and cheer you on. And it was like being
dumped from that into this cold pool of Internet Twitter hate. And that was
crazy. It was like, 'Oh yeah, right! There's a bunch of people who hate the idea
of what we're doing and are waiting to pounce on us if we make a single
mistake'." It seems the case can be made that Double Fine actually made at
least 31 mistakes, as that's how many updates on
their Kickstarter page were "for
backers only," which is every single update posted there once they hit
their initial funding goal almost two years ago. Here's the history of private communication for this project:
