The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it’s traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w
It hurts being on the other end of it, doesn’t it? It turns out you might not be the only thief in town. A masked Pig Thief occasionally pokes around the village, taking what he can before darting back into the shadows. If you’re unlucky enough to be his target, you’re going to get a rough smack in the face before finding all of your Oincs on the ground. The worst part? The thief isn’t going to be the only one grabbing your hard earned cash; every Pig in the vicinity is going to clamber to the free money, leaving you penniless, sad, and at significantly lower health than you were moments bef
There’s a new currency system in the Hamlet expansion called Oincs . These can be earned and spent in the town, and with a little bit of time and effort, it isn’t difficult to amass quite the fortune. Different Pigs have different things that they’ll buy, each depending on the Pig type. For example, the older female Pigs are fond of flowers and will buy one flower per day, earning you one Oinc for each flower you sell. Other Pigs will buy hedge clippings, which you can grab in abundance throughout the town. (You can also eat the clippings. Whether or not that’s intended or going to be changed I don’t know, but they don’t seem to spoil, so free fo
The work of survival can be a bit grinding at times, but there’s a satisfaction to be had from making a plan and seeing it through. Today I have food but want to build something, so it’s off to harvest logs and craft them into boards. Trees are cheap, plentiful, and easily renewable, but tomorrow I want gold and finding veined rocks isn’t so simple. Loading up on roasted carrots and berries and taking the trusty pickaxe out for a stroll into the stony wastes solves this problem, but there’s frequently other things to find there as well, such as a jagged pile of rocks that signifies a cave entrance. That’s an adventure for another day, though, because the gold I’m bringing home will make an alchemy engine, which in turn allows the creation of much better gear that increases the odds of crawling out of the cave alive. The cycle of work/reward turns at a pleasant pace, making the results of all that effort feel like something earned.
You can never have too many items, right? Or creatures, either—living among the Beefalos sounds pretty great! These lines of code will get you the items, props, or creatures you crave. That even means Tallbirds or Spider Queens,
Don’t Starve placed players into the shoes of a scientist named Wilson, and tasked them with a single mission: to survive. Unfortunately, mere survival itself is an extremely difficult task in Don’t Starve , with players having to overcome nightmarish creatures and a myriad of challenges. The crafting-focused title gives plenty of ways to kill a player, and savvy users need to look out for Wilson’s health, hunger, and sanity at all ti
The 2013 finalists for the Canadian Videogame Awards span seventeen categories and include 29 games, narrowed down from 75 nominated titles. To qualify titles, at least in part, must be developed in Canada. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag leads the pack this year with an impressive 12 nominations. Last year’s show saw Far Cry 3 take him the most awards , including Game of The Y
Meandering around on your first day grabbing food, flowers, and sticks is always vital in Don’t Starve , but make sure you keep moving; the sooner you find the Hamlet, the better. There are light sources in the town that you can huddle around at night, saving you from having to build a fire right off the bat. When you do build a fire, I’d recommend doing so out of the Pig Guards sight; while they’re friendly (provided you don’t break any Pig Laws), they will scramble to put out your fire the moment they see

„Item” can be replaced with any animal, monster, character, item, or environment object in the game. „Amount” is simply how much of it you want. Just be careful not to spawn too many Terrorbeaks! You can also replace „spawn” with „give” if you’d like the items to show up in your invent
_ Don’t Starve Together _ is a fun but often-punishing survival game where you work with your friends to forage, craft, and fight off the shadows. As you attempt to survive each day, you could probably use an occasional pick-me-up. That might mean shuffling players around, making sure your stats are up, or messing with the flow of time its
