Feast your eyes on the gorgeous concept art below and head to the campaign page to find out more. EDIT: Had to remove 2 pictures due to a change in artists on dev team , oops.

Slushy_ Previews the Alpha of Bacillus by Milky Joe Games
Telling people you have spent the weekend trying to develop a super strain of bacteria that can live under even the harshest environmental conditions is not generally a good idea. Unless of course you are talking about playing the alpha build of Bacillus by Milky Joe Games which is going live on Kickstarter Feb 29. It's a unique game being developed by a one man team which deserves your support. The main concept of the game is you take control of a bacteria with the only goal of surviving. To do so you must adapt and evolve to a changing environment full of competing bacteria.You accomplish this by dividing your bacteria and focusing on those "offspring" that have favourable characteristics. While this may sound rather clinical it doesn't take long for you to become attached to your little family of unique bacteria and you will be surprised how saddening losing your favourite super strain can be. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the current build and recommend readers of this blog get behind this kickstarter.
Speaking of which , there are some cool benefits available for Kickstarter supporters including being able to design their own bacteria and getting in the credits for $1.With the plan being that Kickstarter funds will be used to polish the game and add features such as multiplayer. So check out this video, and head to the campaign page .

Quick look at the new Tactical FPS in development by Superboss Games
Superboss Games the indie developers who have brought us such games as Project Stormos are currently working on a tactical FPS which breaks away from the conventional arcade shooter. "Intruder" emphasises stealth , surveillance and strategy rather than reflexes and reaction times and will mark the introduction of the "balance" system. This allows players to be knocked over by explosions and projectiles creating potential game situations where players could play dead etc.It's still in its early stages of development but you can follow the development series on the Superboss Games youtube channel where they will be walking us through the changes and updates they make to this exciting new first person shooter.

Out There Somewhere Due in Less Than a Week
Just a reminder that the MiniBoss are releasing Out There Somewhere on Feb 21.
If you haven't heard of Out There Somewhere I deeply pity you but offer you a chance at redemption by watching the video below.
Heres how the developers describe it :
You take control of Yuri, an astronaut who's come from the Great Mother Planet. He's lost in a world full of puzzles and has a Teleport Gun to solve them with.
We tried to make a game based on what we used to play in the 90's. It has a simple story and retro look and music.
We've just released a 7 day pre-order of Out There Somewhere! This edition is the same price of the normal edition, to be released on February 21, but it has two reasons why you should buy it:
- It is called Voskhod Edition
- It includes the original soundtrack in MP3 format and the Hint Manual in PDF
- The download link will be sent to you email on February 21

Barrington Plays "Principia Mathematica" a Scientific puzzle game based around Isaac Newton's 3 laws of motion.
Hello indie game lovers, Barrington here.
After some intense researching (Googling some super Scientific words) I have completed a video preview of the Scientific indie puzzle game "Principia Mathematica". The name is derived from a three volume body of work on the actual foundations of Mathematics, who knew? The game itself is based upon using Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to complete various puzzles and to maneuver through various obstacles, this unique mechanic allows for some interesting game play and intense problem solving.
"Principia Mathematica" (The game, not the riveting 1900 page volume) is currently in its Alpha stages and was developed by Evelend Games. The game was originally developed in under 2 days for a video game competition (Not Ludum Dare) and from gaining good feedback have begun the process of making it into a full game.
I really enjoyed this game because of its interesting game mechanics, all around calculated game play and would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and challenging puzzle experience.
Thanks guys, Barrington Out.

Time to Polish Your Shotgun and Strap on Your Skis
Previously closed to the public, it would seem all you have to do now is like an annoying Facebook app and you'll receive a key to the very promising Tribes Ascend Beta.
Tribes is a hard FPS to describe, to the casual observer it could almost be mistaken for some sort of Halo wannabe yet it plays out much like a classic aerial dogfight, with tense extended firefights full of graceful and heroic manoeuvres. Trying to master your suits inertia and adapting to shooting high speed targets is a very addictive experience at this stage and the good news is it will be free to play when it finally releases. If you're too young(or too old) to remember the previous Tribe releases, check out my video, it should clear things up for you.
Grab the invite HERE.
Have fun guys, I hope to see you on the slopes!
