“Indie hit Antichamber is already a mind-bending monster, but now add some Oculus Rift and you’ve got a “trapped on the holodeck” episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. That’s what computer science student Vaecon has done in this VR conversion of the game.”

Democracy 3: Everybody Wants To Ruin The World(RPS)
“I really did want to make Britain a better, happier place for everyone. Trouble is, no-one else agreed. I compromised my own values and I punished people who were just like me, I scrimped and I saved and I took desperate actions. I tried to think long-term, but I also fought seemingly endless short-term fires. The middle-class hated me, the rich abused every tax loophole they could find, the poor took to alcohol abuse and crime. The socialists and greens cheered me, sure, but that didn’t matter a jot as the nation’s money haemorrhaged its last, and the public understandably voted for the other guy. I tried to help them all, and they all hated me for it.”

IndieCade faves from E3: Spaceteam, Towerfall, 7 Grand Steps, Perfection, Voronoid, Soundodger(Shacknews)
“While IndieCade’s E3 booth may not be as boisterous as others at the show, its impact cannot be denied. IndieCade has been home to games such as Braid, Dear Esther, and Skulls of the Shogun long before they were on anyone’s radar and this year looks to continue that trend. Here are some of the more notable games I got to check out.”

Cube World Dev Talks DDoS Attack, Incoming Fix(Kotaku)
“Cube World’s alpha launch has been a rocky one—eager fans waiting to get their hands on the immensely charming voxel RPG likely haven’t been able to buy the game yet, even though the developers have been trying to sell it for days now. At first, it seemed like it was just immense demand that was breaking the servers. In actuality, it’s an intentional distributed denial of service attack, which disables the servers with high traffic.”
