'Nips' Announce GET!

  
Thought I'd share the logo of Data Wests' latest project, 'Nips. It's an Rogue-lite action RTS, where you take control of a farmer who befriends a race of sentient turnip folk, and does battle with... another race of sentient turnip folk (how about that for an imaginative concept?).

At the moment, we're thinking a sort of 'Pikmin' meets 'Age Of Empires' sort of dealio. Now, you may be thinking 'How will this work with Nintendo's patent on monster summoning?'. Our answer being, 'We're purposely putting things in the game that conflict with it, just to spite them.'

... As usual, keep an eye on our socials for more information!

''Sudo And Kuu's Puzzle House' Debut!


Data West has this little gem on the boil, too. Sudo And Kuu's Puzzle House is what can loosely be described as 'rogue-lite sudoku', where you traverse a procedurally-generated den of puzzles with Sudo and Kuu - your friendly neighbourhood ninja, and her tanuki sidekick.
 

... Will you make it through the ever-changing house, or will Japan's greatest export bamboozle you? Find out, in 202X!

For more information on the game when it's released, please keep an eye on the Data West socials! Until then... 'Don't touch my moustache!'.

'Melon Farm': Coming Soon!


Melon Farm is a game that's in the works, here at Data West Towers; it features all the fun of growing watermelons, without any of the environmental responsibility. Inspired by the 'Harvest Moon' franchise (but on a much smaller scale!), you'll write your own story of melon mastery, that begins with planting your very first seeds. ... Are your fingers green enough? Find out, in 202X!

...For more information about the game as it's released, please follow the Data West socials. Until then, dream sweet dreams of your very own watermelon empire! "See You Next Game!"
