KingsIsle Wants Help Getting On Steam


KingsIsle, makers of popular MMOs including Wizard 101 and Pirate 101, have a new game coming out: EverClicker. If you can’t tell by the title, it is a clicker game. Effectively, KingsIsle wants to learn about the process of submitting and having a game put up on Steam, and EverClicker happens to be the guinea pig that will be going through said trial.

It’s easier to start our journey onto Steam with a game that isn’t hugely complicated with a lot of moving parts. Starting with EverClicker on Steam allows us to learn the process. If successful, we hope to be able to offer more of our games on Steam and other distribution outlets in the future, which could include games such as Wizard101 and Pirate101.

If you’d like to see more of KingsIsle’s games on Steam, head on over to the EverClicker page and check it out.

Defiance Reveals Endless Free Trial


2013-12-17_00007

Trion Worlds has announced that Defiance will be moving over to an endless free trial, allowing players to get in on the action for as long as they like without buying the full game. Instead of the previous 72 hour time limit, players will now be capped at 500 EGO points until they upgrade to the full version. With Defiance going for cheaper than a meal at Burger King most days, upgrading to the full version won’t set players back that much. To the best of my knowledge, this beta extends only to PC players.
