Carpe Fulgur the doujin game localization studio will be releasing their next game project RPG Fortune Summoners on January 17th for Gamersgate and Steam for $25 bucks. This is great I really liked their first two releases Recettear and Chantelise. If their previous releases are any indication I think this one will be just as good.

Check out their site for info and to play a demo.

Oh, and no one told me my upload of Second Age was dead… So yeah, I re-uploaded it… And now I bring to you another mech game:

GunHound!

It’s a basic game, 1 vs. 1 duels from a top down view, but space style. Your mech is heavily affected by the lack of inertia in space as you fly around. Mechs have three weapons, one of which you choose from, and melee. It’s almost, kind of, like a shmup-fighter, too, because there can be lots of missile and bullets flying at you. Melee requires some ace piloting, as you’ll tend to just rocket by your enemies, but of course, it does a lot of damage, especially if you can keep on them, they can die in a flash. But a cool thing also, is how melee blades will clash if you both try. The arcade mode features constant 1 vs. 1s, and at the end, you’ll be greeted by a big boss. There are also a couple of cheats to play as other mechs, just check out the comments on the video.

Taking a programming class, so who knows, if it’s successful I may make a mecha game. Anyway, today I bring to you one of my favourites, tied with just Silver Knights. Second Age is a mecha space combat game, featuring a cast of 8 unique robots. The video for Silver Knights on my first post here wasn’t mine, but the guy who did it sure made an amazing trailer. From now on, though, I’ll be bringing you all the mecha game video joy! So here’s a video showing some rough gameplay and showcasing all of the robots.

So with that, I’ll talk some about the gameplay. There’s no other way to play other than ‘Practice’, which really should be called something like ‘Skirmish.’ It’s a mode where you fight with up to 8 mechs, and you can split into (several) teams. Actually, there IS a mission mode, but it doesn’t work past mission 1…

So you choose mechs, teams, and from 5 maps. The gameplay has quite a few buttons despite its simple appearance. You move your aim with the directional button, and hold a button to boost in the direction you’re pressing. It works really well, actually, so you can easily aim while moving. You have a shield button, boost, main shot, melee, secondary shot, and shield+backboost. Many mechs have different attacks depending on the direction you’re boosting, and different melee when and when not holding a direction. There’s also special attacks, which are done by pressing certain two buttons at once.

It’s a simple concept, and maybe the graphics will throw you off (I think they’re superb for an old indie game, but others would disagree…), but this game is actually very good and fun. It also has LAN play, but I can’t figure out how it works, because of a language barrier. The rest of the game is totally in English, though. It may be me, the nostalgic music (surprisingly catchy), or the mech designs, but this is definitely one of the best once you really get into it. I may be a little biased, as this was my first (and best) foreign mech game find, aside from Silver Knights, which already had a little English fanbase.

So, you can download it from the website I made for it (Yeah, I really do love Second Age ;-;), or from the main site. Thing is, the main site has a latest version, which is more of a test build and incomplete… While from my website you can pick up an older and fuller version with all the mechs. Also, I made a whole picture manual, with explanations of the game and movelists.

So my fan-site is: http://www.freewebs.com/the-second-age/

Or you can check out the (Japanese) official website, which has actually been abandoned for years, but surprisingly still up… My point is, just try this old little gem.

From this point forward, I’ll be a new author here, thanks to Jonathan Sharp who asked me and gave me a chance to write here. So, I go by many names, none of which you will know, except Claxus, so just call me that, alright? Especially because my first name is the same as a certain other someone here. So as what I’ll be doing here? Well, giant robots are my passion, and I love finding freeware mecha games, so that’s what I’m here to share. So let’s super-mecha-fly into overdrive!

I’ll be starting with the basics, which probably most mecha fans know, or maybe not… This one is an obscure little gem.

Silver Knights!

This is the one that started it all for me. At first, I was thrown off by its subpar graphics, but the gameplay was really the heart. Now, though, the game has developed much more, with more content, and pretty impressive graphics. In this game, you pilot a mech in a 3rd person shooter styles, but you lock on to enemies rather than aim. Each mech has two weapons, and a special function, plus melee, and there’s a lot of’em. Your main form of movement is boosting, in short bursts. Really, the gameplay is simple, yet the game can be really intense.

It’s made up of only a skirmish mode, but you’ll soon realize that it’s all it needs. You can play with up to 8 mechs per game, and there’s many maps to choose from. Every mech has an unique playstyle, like setting up bits that shoot laser beams in sync with your mech, transforming into a plane, a sniper with 4 different main shots and a sniper mode, and a lot more.

But probably the best thing about the game is the ability to play online, it’s just so fun. One on ones against another human player can get really crazy, or you can team up and fight AI mechs together, or have team battles with other players. The game is pretty skill and timing based, despite its simple mechanics.

So if you’re interested, check out the fan-forum. It’s like my home forum… We’re a really small community, but we’ve been active for years, and we really need more mecha fans who want to play this online. Also, this game is actually still in progress, although the creator has taken a break from it, mostly because of lack of inspiration because of the small fanbase. So if you want to see this game grow further, show your support!

I’m not sure I’d make sushi with the bread, but this looks pretty sweet. Apparently it turns rice, sugar, and yeast into bread.

The Tanuki Myth
Japanese folklore has thousands of references about the tanuki. According to mythology tanuki are able to transform into any form.

Nowadays at the entrance of many Japanese restaurants you can find a tanuki statue. On the left hand the tanuki usually holds a sake bottle, its favorite drink, and on the right hand an accounting notebook. Legend has it that tanuki bring good fortune and healthy profits.

Super Mario Tanuki
It turns out that the raccoon suit in Super Mario Bros. 3 is in fact a tanuki suit that gives him superpowers frequently associated to tanuki in Japanese mythology. When Mario is wearing the tanuki suit he can turn into an invincible statue.

I found this very interesting image at 2ch that shows in a quite extreme way the evolution of the drawing style of manga since the Edo era (last frame) until nowadays (first frame). The frame of the Edo era is not really manga but you can already see the fundamentals of what the style would be a century later in Japanese manga. The most exaggerated frame is the second one, belonging to the 90s, the golden era of shōjo manga, like for example Sailor Moon. The third one corresponds to the Dragon Ball years, and the fourth and fifth have an Osamu Tezuka and Tetsuya Chiba (Ashita no Joe) feel. On the other hand the first frame corresponds to the manga style mostly used in the last decade, maybe the most neuter and boring one.

All 5 stages including the extra stage is available, however, the THIRD stage is not a series, it is a movie. The Third Stage movie is expiring soon, so if you want to watch it you will have little time to do so. I am unsure as to how long the series will be up since I don’t see an expiration date.

THE THIRD STAGE IS AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON HULU AFTER JANUARY 14TH, 2011 – CHECK BACK ON HULU AFTERWARDS TO SEE IF THEY WILL RE-ADD IT!

The source stated:

“The envisioned tree-shaped charging station — called the “Solar Tree” — stands 12 meters (39 ft) tall and has three translucent round solar panels that follow the sun across the sky. With an expected conversion efficiency of 30%, the three solar panels together can generate 20 kilowatts of power. At the base of each tree is a clover leaf-shaped wireless charging pad that can recharge batteries from a short distance, without the use of cables or plugs.”

Well, if you’re looking for a nice way to recharge your electric vehicles and robots then here you go. If you want the full story check the source link below.

I’ve been meaning to post this game for a couple days. I recommend trying it out. The game is more or less a pachinko style game with a little bit of a Peggle feeling to it. The game is very very japanese and…well you’ll just have to play it. Give it at least 5 minutes.

Play it here: armorgames.com

Thanks to Samuel Cockedey (and others I think) for making them and Pink Tentacle for posting ‘em up on their blog. Well, as with the other time lapses we have posted here, this one is mesmerizing. If you want to see some of Samuel Cockedey’s other work, including his time lapses, check out his website: samuelcockedey.com

Enjoy.
