☆ Ironcast Is Coming To PS4 & XBOX One ☆ #PS4 #GameDev

Ironcast caught my eye immediately as a fusion of a few styles. Take Steampunk and add it into a Victorian London landscape. When I saw the screens I immediately thought of Walker on the Commodore Amiga.

Throw into that cool mix a ‘match 3’ game play mechanic and it would appear that on the surface of it you get a an interesting twist on a few styles of videogame.

☆ How Do You Save A Stranded Astronaut? ☆ #IndieDev #GameDev #iOS #Android

As I sit here and wait for him to get back to me I fear for his safety on his first night in the unknown wilderness.....

He got in contact with me on my iPhone on Thursday morning and told me his story via text....

His name is Taylor...

He asked me for advice on how to proceed...

He wanted to know what to do next....

I had to put myself in Taylor's shoes and think what would I do next if I was Taylor?

I've just advised him on where he should sleep on his first night stranded alone.....I hope I've told him the right thing....I've never been in that situation so I don't know what to advise but I did advise him on what I thought was truly his best option....

I keep checking my phone to see if he has got in contact with me but nothing yet....

Oh god I hope he makes it through the night......What if he doesn't?!
