Northgard, developer Shiro Games' acclaimed real-time strategy affair, is heaving its Viking-themed heft onto iOS devices today, 13th April. Northgard, if it's so far managed to pass you by, is a game of exploration, resource management, and land acquisition, tasking players with establishing and expanding a thriving Viking settlement - a process that involves constructing specialist buildings, maintaining production loops, and maiming ne'er-do-wells, both humans and mythological, along the way. It's a wonderful thing, both brutal and elegant, packed full of tough decisions and various strategic wrinkles depending on the particulars of your chosen clan. Expansion, for instance, requires players to conquer Land Zones - a risky proposition in itself - and these in turn only house a small number of workers and buildings, meaning you'll need to think carefully about utilising your limited workforce and restricted space if you're to successfully grow. And that's before winter rolls … [Read more...] about Acclaimed Viking RTS Northgard launching on iOS devices today

What is Metal, and what does it mean for Mac gamers? Will the Mac games market now become as successful as the iOS gaming market? Metal is an API (Application Programming Interface) designed by Apple that makes it easy for developers to create visually impressive apps - and games in particular. It was introduced in 2014 alongside iOS 8, but at WWDC 2015 Apple announced that it was bringing Metal to Mac OS X. This is good news, because Mac OS X has more demanding apps in general than iOS. Metal is mostly used by games developers, but builders of other visually demanding apps (such as Adobe) can also use Metal to make their apps run faster. It also makes it easier for game developers to move their games from iOS to OS X (and vice versa).

Discord users who access the Discord app through iOS will now face restrictions on adult content that go beyond those for other platforms. The gaming-focused social networking app—which lets users create public or private servers to chat via text, image, voice, and video livestreaming— announced this week that "all users on the iOS platform (including those aged 18+) will be blocked from joining and accessing NSFW servers. iOS users aged 18+ will still be able to join and access NSFW communities on the desktop and web versions of Discord." That NSFW designation can be set by the server owner or by Discord itself, in keeping with community guidelines requiring the label on "adult content." Individual channels within a server can be designated as NSFW without imposing limits on the full server, but an entire server may be labeled as NSFW "if the community is organized around NSFW themes or if the majority of the server’s content is 18+," the company said. Discord has set up an … [Read more...] about iOS users—and only iOS users—face NSFW content ban on Discord app
