★OTON X Video Game Console Latest News★ @EnGeniux #GamersUnite

Recently we told you all about the OTON X The Video Games Console That Creates Its Own Games......

Now We've Got Some More News On This Cool Games machine....So Read On

The OTON X Video Games Console is set to offer crowdfunding during its open beta of the console’s user interface testing. 

This is the first beta testing hybrid crowdfunding campaign ever to offer users the ability to sample a portion of the product before they actually back the project. 

The beta will have a weekly status update system to track progress.

There will also be a voting system based on feedback from OTON user interface testers.

The unique selling point for the OTON X console is that it's the first autonomous game console to self-create game levels and games without a full-time developer.

The system goes about creating games using a custom algorithm with preset design parameters and a sprite database to create custom game environments. 

This ingenious and innovative process saves time and money and supports developers with new game content to players much faster.

The EnGeniux Project wanted to take a different approach with this crowdfund effort, so it is using the Selfstarter Method used by other platforms that didn’t use Kickstarter to fund their projects. 

During the campaign Engeniux will be offering these three Cool Incentives To Back:

- All Credit cards will not be charged until one month before units ship.

- $100 of game credit if the OTON developer (dev unit) doesn’t ship on the date EnGeniux promises.

-A free OTON T-shirt if the OTON dev unit can’t produce 100 different basic 2D game levels and characters when shipped.

The OTON X Systems will cost $99 for early-bird units (limit of 50 units) and $139 for standard units. 

Derrick Samuels who is the OTON X creator and project manager said the following:

“We’re excited and confident that we can get OTON X funded with this hybrid method,”

“I stand behind my console and my team, and we want our community to feel excited and confident that we can deliver!”

We Say Why Not Get Involved And Visit The OTON X BETA Pages  to beta test the OTON X UI!

Which One Is Your Favourite?

 

♥My Love Affair With Fallout 3♥ #GamersUnite

It's been 3 years since I battled for over 100 hours in the Wasteland....

3 years since I scavenged dead bodies for my next bottle cap...

3 years since I savoured the refreshing taste of Nuka Cola....

3 Years since I crept around a spooky old abandoned building in search of a Pip Boy Bobblehead!

For me Fallout 3 was video games perfection. 

The most open of open world gaming experiences where you made the experience your very own. 

Fallout 3 gave you the free reign to create your very own Wasteland story and as you trod carefully around this most hazardous of environments you really felt vulnerable and excited at what possibly lay round the next corner or down the hole or cave.

At that point in time it was like no other video game I had ever experienced a truly eye opening experience as to what was really possible in a video game environment.

Two experiences really stand out for me...

The first was my initial encounter with "Raiders"  ! For those that don't know, Raiders are vicious individuals who kill for the thrill of it and prey on others in groups of ruthless gangs. 

As I strolled around the wasteland as a new escapee from vault 101 I located an old deserted super market called "The Super Duper Mart".

The Super Duper Mart looked ripe for exploring and potentially scavenging some important supplies so I armed myself with my trusty rifle and entered the building.

Little did I know that it was overrun by Raiders who were about to show me no mercy! 

At this point in my journey through Fallout 3 I was a puny character with not much skill in anything except maybe picking locks!! 

So as I entered bullet hell that was The Raiders in full flow I wasn't giving myself much chance until I stumbled across V.A.T.S and a cache of grenades!

I think the thing that sticks in my mind the most was how amazingly cool the camera work was when I managed to dispose of one of the evil Raiders by blowing his head off with a grenade in slow mo! 

Now I don't usually go for extreme violence in video games but this seemed like the Raiders deserved their mind blowing fate as they were unrelenting in their pursuit of me........it was at this point that I realised Bethesda & Fallout 3 had got me.......I was in the Wasteland for the long haul!!

The other experience that really shaped my Wasteland experience was the side quest early in the game entitled THOSE!

A small boy called Bryan Wilks approached me in Grayditch and asked to help him find his father, who was trapped in the town infested with fire ants!

When I eventually found out that poor old Bryan's Dad was attacked and killed by Fire Ants it was time to try and exact revenge on those pesky creatures and as I entered the underground dwelling I realised exactly how puny I was as time after time after time the ants took me apart at will! 

It was a humbling experience that led me to understanding that The Wasteland is never forgiving and you have to earn your right to be good enough to stand up for yourself out there!

So after 3 years, why am I talking about two of my most memorable Fallout 3 experiences?

Well i'll tell you why.........

I'm about to re-enter the Fallout Universe in the form of "Fallout New Vegas"

It's been long enough and now it's time to give up another 100 hours of my life to one of the greatest games ever created........

Watch Out For My Tales From New Vegas As This Time I will Attempt To Document My Descent Into One Hell Of A Gaming World!

Let Us Know Your Favourite Fallout 3 Experience.....

What Part Stays With You The Most?

★Game Of The Day "STAR TREK TREXELS"★ @StarTrekTrexels #GamersUnite #RetroGaming #StarTrek #PixelArt #Pixel

STAR TREK TREXELS

Give Us A Video Game Created Using Pixels In A RetroGaming Style And We Are In Our Element.....

 

Double That Up With It Being A Star Trek Game And Then Surely The Game Has To Be Perfect!!

 

Just Have A Look At The Cool Trailer Video For A Start!

The game sees you enlist in Starfleet and take command of your very own starship....

"The USS Valiant has been destroyed by an unknown attacker, and Starfleet has chosen YOU to continue its mission deep within a mysterious area of space known as the Trexelian Expanse."

The plot revolves around a temporal rift that has caused Starfleet enemies and allies to end up in an unexplored region of space.

In this cool game you will get the opportunity to build your starship, choose your very own crew, and explore the pixel galaxy!

The game is actually set within the original Star Trek universe and players will encounter many characters and locations from Star Trek....sounds cool doesn't it!

The game features narration by George Takei who played Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise in the television series.

The game also features the original music from the TV series which really adds to the experience.

The game has taken inspiration from the original series and in particular the sense of exploration and adventure.

We really like the sound of how you can explore the Galaxy across a massive galactic map (reminds us of Mass effect)

 We have just downloaded this cool game and will let you know how we get on with it, but so far it's shaping up to be a right treat!
