Calling all Scavengers and artists! To celebrate Trinity Trigger’s recent North American release, we’re presenting a fanworks contest where you can design and submit your very own Trigger including their primary weapon form! When a Trigger is summoned, they reflect their summoner in some way, so be sure to provide a short backstory with your creation – for example, “if a summoner’s life is full of fun memories, their Trigger will sport a festive appearance.” (And don’t worry, we won’t judge based on your backstory, just on the creativity of your design!)

DEADCRAFT Developer Blog #9: Creating the second DLC: “Jessie’s Wasteland Wares” The second DEADCRAFT DLC, “Jessie’s Wasteland Wares,” is a standalone mode starring the character Jessie, who appears as a supporting character in the main game. In this mode, she runs a shop to earn money for her beloved Miss Duna. The second DLC was created all at once during the final stages of development, and I think it turned out great due to our staff being more experienced from working on the main game. The systems of the main game lent themselves well to the store-management gameplay of the DLC. I dec ..read more
