House On Fire – датская инди-студия, известная благодаря своей приключенческой игре The Silent Age. Компания специализируется на создании нарративных игр с акцентом на атмосферу и захватывающий сюжет. The Silent Age, выпущенная в эпизодическом формате, получила признание за свой уникальный визуальный стиль, головоломки и мрачную историю о путешествиях во времени. Студия стремится создавать игры, которые заставляют игроков задуматься и предлагают им глубокий эмоциональный опыт. Информации о других проектах студии крайне мало, что делает House On Fire загадочной и интересной компанией.
Studio Atelico launches Atelico AI Engine into Early Access "The studios that succeed won't be the ones using the most AI, they'll be the ones using AI entirely in service of the player experience," says CEO Studio Atelico has launched its Atelico AI Engine into Early Access. The studio's technology, first used in its debut game Bobium Brawlers, is designed to run on-device instead of relying on data centres. The Atelico AI Engine works with Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, enabling developers to generate images, run language models, implement speech systems, and create AI-driven character behaviors. The engine allows AI to run alongside gameplay without impacting rendering performance and removes cloud dependencies across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux, on both GPU and CPU.
World of Warcraft players angry after Blizzard seems to contradict housing cosmetics policy with Halloween additions Kul to arms. The World of Warcraft team has found itself at the centre of controversy after recently-added housing cosmetics appeared to go against previous pledges not to sell decorations tied to the visual identity of the game's races and factions. The cosmetics are the haunted Grimtide Estate and Grimtide decor packs - a spooky spin on Kul Tiran furniture that players can either buy through the Battle.net store or in-game shop. These decorations have a nautical theme, in line with the buildings present in the Battle For Azeroth expansion, where the Kul Tiran subfaction was added for Alliance players.
