Shuffling along: Bohemia are developing a new pathfinding system for DayZ’s zombies
Comment
Whilst DayZ is certainly one of gaming’s most ambitious projects, there’s always been one thing that keeps it weighed down: the zombies. In the world of Chernarus, zombies walk like phasing spectres, darting around and hobbling through walls as if they weren’t there.

Witchmarsh is a 1920s set supernatural co-op RPG with some sumptuous visuals and a toe-tapping soundtrack
Comment
Imagine if Boardwalk Empire’s main characters were Sam and Dean Winchester, and you’re already on the road to understanding what Witchmarsh is. It’s an action RPG set in Massachusetts in the 1920s, as a band of supernatural hunters head out to find and retrieve the Witchmarsh Twelve, a group who mysteriously vanished.
Developed by indie studio Inglenook in Leeds and published by Starbound’s very own Chucklefish, this exciting little project is after a little financial help on Kickstarter.
