News::Indie Fund backs recently-Greenlit FRACT OSC
Having previously supported titles like Monaco , The Swapper , and Antichamber , the Indie Fund has proven itself as a suitable curator of high-quality, interesting independent titles. While we were already keeping an eye on self-described musical exploration game FRACT OSC, hearing that the group will offer financial support to developer Phosfiend Systems is indeed reassuring.
The end result for us players is that FRACT is safely on track for a 2013 release across Windows and Mac. If you've seen what this game is shaping up to be -- it's not too late to peruse the official website, by the way -- you know there's good cause to be excited for this one. You like Tron, Myst, and synthesizers? How about all of those, mashed together?

News::NetherRealm promises more Injustice DLC character news
General Zod, the last of the core DLC line-up for Injustice: Gods Among Us, is available for download as of today. He joins Batgirl, Lobo, and Scorpion which, when you run through the list like that, doesn't seem like a whole lot. More roster additions are on the way, thankfully.
When asked if there would be any new DLC character announcements soon, NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon replied with an emphatic "YES!" Perhaps we'll also get to hear more about what's up with the Wii U version of Injustice before too long here.
Any input on where NetherRealm should take future DLC? I'm sure there are plenty of suggestions regarding who not to include.

News::Add your own colorful phrases to AVGN Adventures
In my E3 preview of the upcoming comedy platformer Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, I noted that each time you die a random Nerd phrase appears on screen. Fans of the Nerd's foul-mouthed escapades are quite familiar with the colorful insults he hurls at less than optimal games. You know, like "I'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in my ear! or "I'd rather press my face against a hippopotamus' butt while it muck spreads!"
I also mentioned that fans would be able to suggest their own death phrases and have them included in the game. Sam Beddoes of FreakZone Games, developer of AVGN Adventures, has begun accepting suggestions on the game's Facebook page. It's sort of like a Mad Lib in that there are two phrase templates and you must fill in the blanks with anything you can think of -- barring copyrighted names, real people, or racial / sexist language, of course.
The phrases are "I'd rather ______ a ______ than continue this ______ game!" or "This game is ______ ______ coming from a ______'s ______!" Think you guys can come up with some clever gems? Be sure to comment directly on the Facebook post.

News::Control an FTL crew member in fan mod Final Frontier
FTL: Faster Than Light was one of the first big Kickstarter videogame success stories. After earning more than twenty times its original goal early last year and releasing in the fall, we loved it. We weren't the only ones, of course, and now some fans have taken it upon themselves to create a first-person multiplayer homage to the sci-fi roguelike, calling it Final Frontier.
It is still in the early prototype stages right now, existing as a mod for Garry's Mod, but it may end up as a standalone game. Though it mostly exists as a concept right now, it feels like it could turn out to be a mash up FTL with Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator , in that it could be totally rad or completely disastrous, depending on the competency of the crew involved. Either way, with some [read: a lot of] work, Final Frontier could be quite a bit of fun.

News::Get motoring with new demo of Sonic-like Freedom Planet
Earlier this year, throwback platformer Freedom Planet by GalaxyTrail Games blasted through its Kickstarter campaign and almost all of its stretch goals. If you haven't been following, Freedom Planet draws heavily from the SEGA Genesis era, most obviously from Sonic the Hedgehog but with nods to others like Rocket Knight Adventures. It fondly recalls a time when animal mascots reigned supreme and playing games early on Saturday morning was something to look forward to.
A new demo for PC and Mac was just uploaded to the Freedom Planet homepage. I didn't have many major complaints with the original demo from last year, but this update highlights many other issues that I've only just noticed in hindsight. The graphics have been given an enormous bump, with far more defined backgrounds and objects as well as all new character sprites. The HUD has also been overhauled, and now your special meter fills automatically, allowing for faster gameplay and an expanded set of abilities.
The wildcat Carol Tea, one of the demos two playable characters, now has a motorcycle that she can summon whenever you find a gasoline container on the ground. She can ride it seemingly indefinitely -- it won't dissipate until it has absorbed a decent amount of damage. Bitchin'.
Download the demo and vote for the game on Steam Greenlight if you haven't. Freedom Planet is targeting a 2014 release at the latest.
