Our live radio broadcasts are currently on hiatus while we work on improvements to Sanitarium.FM's core services. For further information, visit our Discord.
In the month of April, the Sanitarium.FM will be going all in on covering one of our favorite franchises of all time. Streaming, videos, articles, discussion in Discord. So if you love WarHammer, join in the discussion and check out the trailer below!
So, the Year of the Kraken is almost over for Hearthstone and the Year of the Mammoth approaches. Blizzard have decided to say goodbye to the Kraken in style though, as well as welcoming in the Mammoth.
Over the next week or so there will be nice bonuses for anyone who logs into the game – as well as a special Year of the Mammoth Tavern Brawl on the 29th of March which is also when the week of rewards begins. Just make sure you have the game fully updated to receive the rewards.
Here’s what you can expect in order:
March 29: 50 gold
March 30: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan card pack
March 31: 100 Dust
April 1: Whispers of the Old Gods card pack
April 2: Journey to Un’Goro card pack
April 3: 50 gold
April 4: Journey to Un’Goro card pack
April 5: A Golden Volcanosaur (who I’ve pictured up at the top of the list).
The interesting part is the Un’Goro related packs and card (I want that Volcanosaur!) towards the end which seems to support the theory some have that Journey to Un’Goro will not be releasing mid-April as Blizzard have said, but earlier on in the month instead.
Regardless though, free stuff is always good and with a number of different expansion packs being included in the line-up collectors like me might have a very good week – provided the pack RNG is kind to us.
Welcome to your weekly update on what is interesting (at least in my opinion) in the world of Kickstarter campaigns for gaming.
Catching up with our previously covered campaigns, we’ve only a little bit to cover this time around. Three of the previously covered campaigns have met their goals successfully and have concluded campaign – these are Narita Boy, Cheap Golf (proving the success again of these quick 7-day campaigns), and GKR: Heavy Hitters. We wish them all a smooth development cycle and release.
As always though, it’s not all success and a few campaigns have finished under target. These are Behind the Rose and Stardust Runelord, two I particularly liked the look of. Neither have had a very recent update, although both finished fairly recently with Stardust Runelord in particular having finished only 5-6 hours ago as of time of writing. I can only hope that both developers find another avenue for their titles. Dragon Lore is also having a bit of trouble. It has 8 days to go but a very long way to climb to reach its goal.
A multiplayer title, the campaign’s page describes this game as “Counter-Strike meets World of Warships in Space!” The game takes place in a far future where mankind’s desires are being ruled by the big corporations and violence is always around the corner. Those who can will take, and other who have will defend. The game has apparently been in pre-production for around 3 years as they tried to develop the ships, weapons etc. properly with a physicist to simulate what it’d be like to fight in zero graivty and with zero friction.
STARFIGHTER INC has a $150,000 goal of which it has raised $78,655 so far. It has 18 more days to go.
Next up we have a space exploration game in which your ship is fuelled in a… unique manner.
The point of Passenger is that you want to explore the galaxy. Only your ship runs on literal soul-power. You need living souls to fuel your craft. So how do you get these souls? Travel to planets and convince the inhabitants you’re a god of course! Simple. You do this by observing the planet to find out their motivations before you land and promise them what they want in the afterlife. It’s a deliciously twisted concept… I love it.
Passenger has made CA$ 1,501of its CA$ 10,000goal. It only has 5 more days to run though, so be quick!
Third we have a settlement building and management game for PC and Mac.
King under the Mountain is set in a fantasy world in which you control a settlement and give commands to your settlers to have them harvest resources, build walls, furniture, and just generally make sure that everything is running smoothly. The view is a top-down one and it looks as if the building is tile-based. You can also take a party of settlers on adventures to other settlements (of other players) or into dungeons.
King under the Mountain has 29 more days to run to make its £45,000target. It has made £4,029 so far.
Finally we have a game that has in its subtitle that it “plays like rock paper scissor with badass weapons.” How could I not look at it with such a line?
Pawarumi is a shoot’em up game as you can tell from its title and sees you in control of a ship named Chukaru, armed with three different weapons in this setting that meets pre-Columbian Aztec design and futuristic space themes. Inspired by Dreamcast titles, the time is hoping to emulate the spirit of those games while still updating what needs to be to make the game fit for modern standards.
Pawarumi has made €2,571of a €15,000goal, with 29 days to go.
