Rpgmakerweb.com is closed to posts from today. Gotcha Gotcha Games has announced that RPG Maker’s official forums are closing this December, taking with them 14 years of community-made guides and resources (thanks, Dexerto). The company is replacing rpgmakerweb.com with RPG MAKER GUILD, a new official RPG Maker forum which it will operate directly. The objective…
Occasionally in hardware and technology reporting, I’m left to wonder if everyone else is in on a joke I’m not privy to. Today is one of those days. Snap, the company behind the instant messaging app Snapchat, has just unveiled its own augmented reality glasses. Called Specs, the frames are pitched partially as an alternative…
Valve’s Steam Hardware survey is no stranger to data anomalies. And yet it remains an undeniable source of interest and intrigue if you’re into PC hardware. So, here’s the latest twist. AMD’s Radeon 9070 XT is subject to an implausibly big upgrade in terms of its user numbers in the latest survey for May, suggesting…
Courtesy of the RAMpocalypse, companies are raising prices for their memory-loaded products left, right, and centre. Apple products, however, had previously remained mostly (though not completely) untouched. No longer, though, as the company CEO Tim Cook tells the Wall Street Journal. “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable. We’re doing our best to mitigate the huge increases…

Final Fantasy 14 will give you a dog (among other rewards) for paying your taxes—if you’re in Japan, that is. There’s really nothing else I can say that isn’t funnier than the truth of the situation, though I’m not pointing and laughing at Square here. It’s a genuinely sweet incentive to have players contributing to…

Rollback netcode, training mode and gallery all included. Code Mystics has announced the next entry in its Neo Geo Premium Selection series for Steam, and it’s ADK’s 1996 fighter Ninja Master’s ~The Scroll of the Ninja Emperor~. The Neo Geo Premium Selection is a range of Neo Geo classics which have been updated with new…
This month, PC Gamer gets world-exclusive access to Planet Zoo 2, the ridiculously ambitious and impressive new management sim from Frontier Developments.

Ragnar rocks. The Granblue Fantasy series has never particularly appealed to me. Perhaps the likes of Persona, Xenoblade, and Fire Emblem are to blame — my ‘beautiful anime people in big fights’ cup overfloweth — making the thought of taking on another big anime-flavoured RPG a little too intimidating.
