ANNOUNCING CHAMPION SHIFT, A TOP-DOWN CO-OP ACTION ROGUELIKE – COMING IN 2023 

Defeat hordes of enemies, earn upgrades and transform into vehicles to traverse the map – alone or with up to three others.

San Juan, Puerto Rico, 31 May, 2023 | SRG Studios is proud and excited to release the first Champion Shift teaser, with a first look at Sun Wukong. Champion Shift is a co-op action roguelike set in a world of magical futurism where players take the roles of mythical legends with the ability to change forms into a variety of different vehicles.

The first gameplay teaser shows Sun Wukong’s upgrades, like the Chakrams in Champion mode and the lethal Turbo Blades in Vehicle mode. Champions also control the power of thunder, among other mythical upgrades, which Wukong uses to strike enemies from a distance. Check out the full teaser below.

In Champion Shift, The Dominion looms over everything; a shadow corporation bent on world domination.  The balance has shifted, as ancient artifacts have given the corporation the ability to summon and capture legendary Champions of myth in an attempt to capture the powers within them.

Although weakened by their arrival, Sun Wukong along with the other captured champions, managed to escape their shackles and vanish into the streets.  Now, the hunt begins; equipped with the newfound power to shift into vehicle forms, it’s time to fight your way into the heart of the Dominion and destroy it from within. Revenge is a dish best-served cold.

Each champion has its own set of skills and abilities that you can use to decimate your foes. No champion will traverse the dangers of the Dominion in one single playthrough, but falling short is part of the fun. Try out different champions, skills, and upgrades and defeat the final boss – alone or with up to three other friends.

Does the Dominion pose too much of a challenge, or do you find it too easy to reach the final boss? Tweak the difficulty of your runs to craft the perfect challenge. 

Features:

– Unlock globally iconic legendary champions, such as Sun Wukong, Athena, Gilgamesh and many more!

– Simple controls with default auto attacks and the option to manually aim.

– Survive challenging and rewarding enemy encounters that test your playstyle and strategy.

– Shift forms between Vehicle and Champion, each with their own playstyles, strengths and weaknesses.

– Hundreds of abilities and boons allow you to construct your perfect run.

– Play solo or co-op with up to 4 players.

Champion Shift is now available to wishlist on Steam, and is slated to release later this year.

RAISE YOUR VIRTUAL ELF IN TAMAGOTCHI-INSPIRED ‘YOLK HEROES: A LONG TAMAGO’

Someone has to protect this realm… is it you? 

Los Altos, CA – 24 May, 2023 | 14 Hours Productions is thrilled to announce their new title, Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, which will be coming soon to Steam, itch.io, Google Play Store, and App Store. 

You are the Guardian Spirit of this realm and you have been tasked with raising elf heroes by the Fairy Queen. Your realm is in grave danger, the Dark Lord and their minions are attacking the country side, your elves might be the only creatures who can save this land.. 

Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago combines classic Tamagochi-style gameplay, where you raise and care for creatures at a slow relaxing pace, with RPG elements where you send your hero out on quests to test their strength. As you adventure with your hero, you will encounter new quests, equipment, areas, bosses, npcs and consumables. 

Falling in battle repeatedly or not caring for your hero’s needs properly means that your little elf will perish. However, fear not – as the Fairy Queen can always give you a new elf egg to raise! You can’t save a realm without breaking a few eggs, after all.

Elves, in their egg form, must be defended from the weather and other creatures. Once the egg cracks open, a cute baby elf pops out! As a Guardian Spirit, your next step will be to raise your baby to become a fully-fledged hero.

Yolk Heroes plays like a classic Tamagotchi or more recent idle game. Once your hero is doing an activity, you can sit back and relax. Have the hero defeat monsters on your second screen or in your pocket. Your hero will notify you when they need your help on what to do next.

Even heroes need their rest (and bathroom breaks). Take good care of your elf before (and after) every adventure. Train their strength, dexterity, or intelligence – make them rest or put them in a bath. Keep them entertained and keep them fed. Take the game at your own pace and only venture out into the world when you (and your elf) are ready.

Excited to raise your elves and protect the realm from evil? Wishlist Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago on Steam now.

Welcome to the launch of Starfall PR! I am thrilled to finally unveil the fruits of my labor and the efforts of everyone who has supported me in bringing this agency to fruition. In this post, I will outline the goals and objectives of Starfall PR, as well as the motivations behind its creation.

Starfall PR was founded with the aim of providing affordable, customized PR services to clients in the gaming, technology, and esports industries. In the US, these services can be costly and out of reach for smaller indie publishers, developers, and startups. Even when a suitable partner is found, the cost of PR can be prohibitively high. Additionally, the agency industry tends to have a high turnover rate, with team members coming and going frequently, especially in the gaming industry.

To address these issues, Starfall PR will prioritize affordability and personalized service. While this may result in lower profit margins on short-term projects, we believe that by delivering exceptional service, our clients will return for future collaborations. At Starfall PR, we are passionate about discovering and promoting indie projects in the gaming, tech, and esports sectors.

Furthermore, at Starfall PR, our employees will be our most valuable asset. Having worked at various agencies and a publishing company, I know firsthand how disruptive and frustrating it can be to bring new people on board mid-project due to staff turnover. To promote employee retention, we will offer “European-style” contracts to our team, including generous paid time off, health benefits, and competitive salaries. Our goal is to create a work environment that our team members will love so much that they never want to leave. By maintaining a stable and dedicated team, we hope to provide our clients with consistent support throughout the duration of their projects.

We believe that by following these core principles, Starfall PR can shake up the agency landscape in the US. If you are interested in working with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am excited to get started on this journey.

Sincerely,

Pieter van Hulst

CEO, Starfall PR
