Lazy Sunday Morning Links: January 14, 2024

Hi, everyone. Hope your week went as well as it could. While mine got away from me, there were still a few new updates on the blog. Fireshine Games previewed their year ahead. A big news update dropped for New Cycle, an indie I am looking forward to. Cult of the Lamb teased us with Sins of the Flesh, while one of my top games from 2022, IMMORTALITY, announced it is arriving on PS5.

It is good to have the blog updated again, but this is about the rest of the web and the stories from others. And it is difficult to not talk about this week without addressing all the job cuts. Unity laying off 25% of its staff. Twitch, cutting over 35% of its staff. Discord, also did a round of layoffs. These are some big numbers around gaming and tech, and I have the sense we are only going to see more.

Survival City-Builder New Cycle Early Access Date Revealed

New Cycle, a post-apocalyptic survival city-builder, is a game that has been on my radar for a while. Today, Core Engage and Daedalic Entertainment revealed a new video taking a closer look at how production chains and your settlement’s inhabitants come into play.

As the leader of a group of survivors emerging from a global catastrophe caused by devastating solar flares, the responsibility falls on your shoulders to rebuild civilization. Your initial options are limited, as are the resources available, however, the most critical resource remains constant from beginning to end: your settlement’s inhabitants.

New Cycle enters Early Access in one week, on January 18th, 2024.
