| Survival Horror Lives with the Outbreak Series on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Posted: 22 Jan 2021 01:00 PM PST Hey, Survivors! The moans of the undead echo as you fight for your life in the Outbreak series, a collection of titles that pay homage to classic survival horror experiences from the '90s. From fixed camera angles, to over-the-shoulder adventure, you'll be leading your group of survivors to safety amidst a global undead epidemic. As you scrounge and manage extremely limited resources, it's up to you to choose when it's the right time to fight, or flee, while solving puzzles and desperately searching for the truth behind the outbreak. Oh, and don't forget to bring a fellow survivor to fight alongside you in local split screen co-op!  Outbreak: The New Nightmare Definitive Edition is available now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, running on the latest Xbox framework and featuring native 4K on Xbox Series X, this release is packed with over three years of content, features, bug fixes and balancing updates, including massive improvements to controlling your character as the camera tracks you. Bring a friend along to play in 2-player local split screen co-op or go it alone across the entire game as you experience the full Campaign, fight off the hordes in Onslaught and experience unique survival horror minigames in the Experiments mode.  The nightmare isn't over yet, with another title in the series launching every few weeks through the end of February. You'll be exploring a deserted manor in Outbreak: The Nightmare Chronicles Definitive Edition, searching for your lost daughter in Outbreak: Lost Hope Definitive Edition and fighting off the hordes in the action-packed Outbreak: Epidemic Definitive Edition. Each of these titles is tailored towards the next generation hardware and features dramatically improved graphics, performance and years of features and fixes. Plus – brand new achievements are waiting to challenge you in each title!  I created the Outbreak series because I love survival horror, from the tough-as-nails gameplay to the cheesy storylines and aesthetics. As a solo indie developer, it has been incredible to see the response and interest in these titles over the last five years, and it makes the journey worth it. It's a genre that has slowly fallen by the wayside as gameplay standards evolved over the last two decades.  Survival horror is all about depowering the player – removing your agency and forcing you to deal with tough situations while being poorly equipped to handle them. It was important to me to make each title unique – focusing on different eras to bring the gameplay alive. Everything – from tank controls (with modern options available!) to your inventory – is designed to heighten the challenge as you struggle to fight off enemies or determine if you'd rather take more ammo, or a healing item, with you. In the end, your choices will directly influence if your survivor reaches salvation, or is consumed by the hordes. But every time you fail, you'll learn more and find you slowly build the skills necessary to survive.  As a reminder, all titles in the Outbreak series are also available now for players on Xbox One but the definitive editions are unique to Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more Outbreak titles launching on Xbox Series X|S in the weeks ahead. And don't worry, there is plenty of new adventures on the horizon, including Outbreak: Endless Nightmares, the world's first retro survival horror roguelike, which will launch later in 2021 on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!  Thanks for playing and best of luck surviving the undead apocalypse!   Outbreak: The New Nightmare Definitive EditionDead Drop Studios LLC $14.99 $11.99 Enter an unforgiving co-op survival horror experience as you fight for your life against oppressive odds. The horrors of Arzt Memorial Hospital were just the beginning of the outbreak. As the infection spread across the city, local law enforcement fell quickly. You now find yourself trapped in a hellscape with only a few remaining survivors. Scavenge the environment for supplies, face off against the undead and do anything it takes to survive. Play the entire game either alone or in local splitscreen co-op. You only have one life. Make it count!

| Go Barrel Rolling for Bounties in Skycadia, Available Now on Xbox One Posted: 22 Jan 2021 11:00 AM PST Summary
Skycadia is a fast-paced arcade dogfighting game where you compete to collect the highest bounty in a colorful, pixelated world. It's been percolating for several years, going through many different iterations, and it's finally ready for you to enjoy.  I'm a full-time instructor of Game Development at a community college in the Midwest, married father of 4, and I've spent the last 15 years in professional game development, from co-founding two indie game studios, to working at large companies as an artist and senior game designer. Throughout my career I've had the fortune to share my passion for game development with hundreds of students and mentees. The earliest idea I had for Skycadia was a mix of the depth of Mount & Blade with the arcade gameplay of Starfox. After creating a simple prototype flying around shooting enemies with colorful spacey visuals, I felt I was on to something interesting. I started adding things to do between combat, navigating a world map with item shops and enemies, but after playtesting it was clear that the real fun was to focus on the frenetic flying and shooting.  After getting the game playable enough to show to other people, I brought a build to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and pitched it to the awesome team at Microsoft. I was nervous, but they were encouraging and liked the concept, so they gave me the go-ahead to develop Skycadia for Xbox One. It was a dream come true to be developing my own game for a major console! A former student, McGuire Leiting, very graciously agreed to help me finish the game by contributing his art skills, so we started brainstorming how to take what I'd already done and polish it into a complete package. We had a lot of ideas, but we focused on arcade action and the high score chase. McGuire developed the distinct visual style that it has today to reinforce the vibe of the game. He also kept me on track to finally finish the project!  As a life-long game developer, I've been playing and making games for many years, but this is my first major console release of a personal project. I can't wait for you to get your hands on Skycadia and let me know what you think. Feel free to message me on Twitter with your feedback, and I look forward to seeing your high scores above mine on the leaderboards.  SkycadiaStudio Nisse LLC $9.99 Xbox One X Enhanced The world of Skycadia is overrun with sky pirates — and there's profit to be made! Take to the skies and collect bounties by shooting down the scoundrels in this light-hearted flying adventure.
