This is the same bunker video from earlier, so you can reuse the caption I already wrote. Here it is again with a slightly different opener: A radio operator worked in a nuclear bunker in Scotland, 100 meters underground, and it was a bit like the NORAD bunker from WarGames. Except there was no…

The Fertile Crescent 2 begins with a city falling. Hattusa is attacked by the Sea Peoples, and Mutti, his two children, his mother in law and an old friend flee as refugees, an improvised family looking for a safe place to start over. Along the way they cross paths with famous kings and queens of…

Version 1.0 of The Fertile Crescent 2 is built around the conclusion of the story, a new map editor and community driven refinements, including an updated art style and bug fixes. The Map Editor uses the same tools the developers use, with a scripting component so you can script your own missions…

Climbing in and out of real aircraft makes it all feel a lot more real. It’s like being in a garage, only the buttons are better. And they’re surprisingly big. Stand next to one in a hangar and your head only comes up to the bottom of the fuselage. Size is the only pilot qualification, right? ✈️…

After the Merlin, Rolls Royce moved on to one of its most famous engines, the Avon. It was one of the most widely used jet engines of the Cold War, flying with nations from the UK to Canada and even licensed or copied beyond the West. Sea Power is available now on Steam. #SeaPower #NavalCombat…

This Sepecat Jaguar, an Anglo French ground attack aircraft, is a special one. The pod carries recording devices pointed back at the aircraft, used for weapon trials. Before a new store is cleared for service, test pilots have to prove it will escape the aircraft’s slipstream, because on some…

Meet the Sea Vixen, one of the weirdest British aircraft ever built. The pilot sits off to the left in an offset cockpit, while the navigator sits in a tiny hole down to his right, with the lid closed on top of him. If things go horribly wrong, the lid pops off and he’s ejected out the top…

Two English Electric Canberras, and they couldn’t be more different. The Canberra was the UK’s Cold War medium bomber and was exported all over the world, even becoming the Martin B57 in the United States. One of these was used for ejection seat trials, with the back opened up so seats could be…

Meet the Sea Harrier, the highest scoring aircraft of the Falklands War. This veteran has four kills painted on its side. With Sidewinders and vertical takeoff and landing, it was a real equalizer when all you had were small aircraft carriers. Sea Power is available now on Steam. #SeaPower…

Build your own race track, then drive it straight away. The Throttle Trace track editor uses the same system as the circuits in the game. Shape the corners, sculpt the terrain and place the fan areas, buildings and mountains. With no steering, a corner that looks great in the editor can feel…

Amsterdam has too many canals, too many boats and far too many bicycles. The Car Park Capital developer says the city should have filled the canals with concrete and built more parking garages. There were plans to do exactly that in the 1960s and 70s, but then people started protesting. It happens…

Throttle Trace is a racing game with only two controls, and neither is steering. Your car follows the circuit. You decide how much speed to carry through each corner, and one mistimed press can ruin a whole lap. Tyre wear, aero, dirty air and damage all come into play. 🏁 Race weekends, careers…

Car Park Capital goes beyond the typical American city. Head to Egypt and turn the pyramids of Giza into parking garages. Or visit Florida, where you can release alligators on the sidewalks so nobody wants to walk, and sell boat cars to drive to your island parking garage. 🐊 Available now (in…

Where did Car Park Capital come from? A man in the UK who ripped out train lines and put down roads, and Robert Moses, who gave New York its highways and demolished plenty of homes to do it. The developer says they're both big inspirations. 🚗 Car Park Capital is available now on Steam…

Car Park Capital started as a university project: a parking lot simulator that years later got rebuilt from scratch as a real tycoon game. 🚗 The satire comes from a 1950s American film that celebrated the economy on wheels. Big highways, big parking garages, what could go wrong? Available now in…

Car Park Capital starts small. One plot of land, one little car park. The city already works, and the people are happy with their subways and bus stops. They just don't know they'd be happier in suburbia. Earn enough, buy the next plot, demolish a few homes, and send in the police if the locals…

Cleared Hot Chapter 2 adds helicopter utilities. Flares beat heat seeking missiles, chaff beats radar turrets, and EMPs disable everything in range. You carry one at a time, so pick the right one for the mission ahead. Cleared Hot is available now on Steam. #ClearedHot #HelicopterGame…

Cleared Hot Chapter 2 adds new mechanics that reward skill. Some enemies now have weak spots on one side, so approaching from the back and hitting where the armor is thinnest really pays off. There are also new water enemies and helicopter abilities. Cleared Hot is available now on Steam…

Cleared Hot Chapter 2 is out now, with a whole new jungle campaign. New biomes, a new water system with moving waves, and boats that react as they drive over them. Mod support and a level editor are in too, so you can build your own missions from the first launch. The story continues from Chapter…

The Cleared Hot developer explains what's coming in Chapter 2, the jungle campaign. New missions with the same characters, plus new terrain, a new water system, boats and water based enemies. There are a few surprises too, which he's keeping quiet for now. The story is released in full chapters…

Car Park Capital went to Gamescom, and what really captured players was the nostalgia. 🚗 Inspired by 90s classics like RollerCoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon, with the old school graphics to match. Players loved feeling like a real evil tycoon, and the humor and satire were a refreshing change…

The best mindset for Car Park Capital is to be a little bit evil. 🚗 Sell more cars, sell more gas, and drill for oil, because the more pollution there is, the cheaper the land gets. Trees take up too much space. Canals should be highways. And cars should be big, with big parking lots to match…

Car Park Capital: you've been hired by Big Auto to pave paradise and put up car parks. 🚗 Buy up homes, move residents to suburbia, convince them to buy a car, then fill your garages with their parking fees. This Amsterdam canal almost became a highway. In Car Park Capital, it does. Available now…

Factory Default: Build, Trade, Repeat sits squarely in the simulation and economy niche, which feels huge if that's the genre you always gravitate toward, but it's actually pretty small compared to action games and RPGs. No armies, no real time strategy, no multiplayer chaos. Just pure focus on…

Factory Default: Build, Trade, Repeat was originally a 3D globe that opened a separate 2D map when you clicked a country. Felt disjointed, so it became one seamless 3D world instead. Then came the hex problem. Wrap hexagons around a sphere and math forces some pentagons in, same as a soccer ball…
