Puzz-Me

Puzz-Me is a new jigsaw puzzle game created for mobile devices by Indie Construction, a small Italia-based indie studio focused on casual games. It is now available for free on Google Play and on the AppStore soon this month.

The game is built on the basic, same rules which require players to put together the pieces to reassemble the final picture, but it puts a time limit to the task as a further challenge to players’ skills. There are 30 tables at launch, each with three difficulty levels that once completed will reward players a varying amount of experience points. Some tables are free in the beginning, with others unlockable when players get enough Exp. During a game, players have a small magnifying glass that helps find and place tiles faster to the right place.

Recently Nerd Kingdom promised more demonstrations of the tech behind its new TUG MMO hopeful. The company has made good with a new video that shows off the in-house engine, and lead programmer Brandon Nelson starts things off with an interesting tidbit about the game’s contouring algorithm. “An algorithm like dual contouring gives us the ability to have the same quality of terrain that other games have, but not have to have them generated by level designers,” Nelson explains.

There’s quite a lot of additional info packed into the clip’s six-minute running time, all of which you can see for yourself after the break. You can also learn more about TUG via the project’s Kickstarter site.

Wings Over Atreia: Shugo Kingdom returns to Aion

xshugo header 2.jpg.pagespeed.ic.eST7GTWWtE Wings Over Atreia: Shugo Kingdom returns to Aion

Who says we can’t get what we want? I wanted the Shugo Kingdom Adventure event to return to Aion, and I’m getting my wish. Booyah! No, really, it’s true: Starting after maintenance on May 22nd, Daevas who’ve flown over level 50 will again be able to journey for a limited time to the long lost vaults of the Shugo Kingdom in search of great and glorious treasure. And by treasure, I mean a trove of chests filled with AP items, Stormwing armor pieces and weapons, or even rare sets of wings. Of course what you get depends on how many keys you have and a little luck, so there’s no harm in starting your sacrifices to Aion’s RNG gods now.

Did you miss out on the event last time but are looking forward to it this go around? Or maybe you need a refresher because the trauma of not getting that one item caused you to block all knowledge of the zone from your mind? Either way, this edition of Wings Over Atreia will give you a heads up on what to expect. And as an added bonus, Associate Producer Sean Orlikowski shared his tips and tricks for making the most of your Shugo Kingdom Adventures.
