Each of the following games holds the potential for an initial spark in game development, now only the quality has to be right.

Singaporean studio Miracle Games has huge plans. With their hero-based battle royale shooter Farlight 84, they want to tackle two heavyweights of the genre at once, namely Overwatch and (!) Fortnite. As a connoisseur of the Southeast Asian gaming world, one, of course, pays attention to such a declaration of war: is it going to be a classic flop or is there actually a serious roar awaiting us from the City of Lions?

Have you ever talked to plants? Although it may seem strange to some, the linguistic exchange with plants is considered “to make them grow faster” for some, while others have even turned it into a whole science. No matter how you feel about it, it certainly cannot be ruled out that speaking with plants is fun, which in itself has a therapeutic effect. Hazel the Plant Witch picks up on this principle and uses the dialogue with the plant world to create a gameplay mechanic out of it and tells a wholesome story.
