Watch The Dungeoning get built from the ground up

Timelapse footage from the very beginning of development Game development can be along process, and those on the outside of it rarely get to see what goes on at the very beginning other than concept art.

Indie developer Nick Donnelly does not mind showing the ugly beginnings of his projectThe Dungeoning. Wanting to document the entire process, he snapped more than 3,000 screenshots over the course of two years of the pixel art roguelike platformer, then stitched them together into the video above....

Assassin’s Creed IV: Welcome to the Golden Age of Pirates

Details on ACIV’s story and setting Your journey as anAssassin’s Creedplayer has been a vast and varied one so far. Time travel has taken us through some of the most exciting times in human history. But, at first glance, the setting for the franchise’s next stop sounds a bit banal in comparison to previous games. A bunch of pirates in the Caribbean? We’ve already seen that movie. Four times. From what we’ve seen of the game, I’ll tell you that this isn’t some cheesy kids’ flick....
