EVE ONLINE: INCURSION 1.0.0 RELEASED

EVE ONLINE: INCURSION 1.0.0 RELEASED

First Release for 14th free expansion includes myriad changes

Reykavik, Iceland – November 30, 2010 – CCP, one of the world’s leading independent game developers, today launches the first portion of this winter’s EVE Online: Incursion expansion for EVE Online, recent winner of the Game Developer’s Choice Award for Best Live Game of 2010.

The November 30th release, Incursion 1.0.0, is first in a multi-part release for one of the most ambitious EVE expansions to date. It includes a long list of changes, many of which were prioritized and added with the help of the Council of Stellar Management, a representative group of EVE players elected by the playerbase to interact on their behalf with the CCP development team since 2008.

Changes in Incursion 1.0.0 span the breadth of EVE, from the addition of over 80 new storyline missions and the Noctis salvaging ship to rebalancing rockets and Tech 2 ammo. The update also includes improvements to EVE’s user interface (UI) based on player feedback, which should make the lives of all pilots a little easier, whether in a new frigate or contributing to the industrial might of their thousand-player alliance. A full list of changes is available in the patch notes.

CCP recently launched the Incursion feature site (www.eveonline.com/incursion), which will be updated frequently throughout the next two months with video interviews, art assets and more information about the expansion. It also features the Incursion trailer, which shows an amazing, in-engine glimpse at our avatar technology and the future of EVE in the character of Sansha Kuvakei, leader of Sansha’s Nation.

Incursion 1.0.1 will be available on December 14th and will couple the removal of learning skills with another holiday gift for EVE players.

Incursion 1.0.2 will be available mid-January and includes the stunningly realistic character creator based on CCP’s avatar technology, a precursor to next year’s “Incarna” release. The web-based social networking platform for EVE players, EVEGate, will see a large upgrade with integrated forums. The Planetary Interaction feature will also see significant improvements based on player input. The following week, a vengeance-fueled Sansha’s Nation will invade the EVE universe, causing chaos as pilots join together in twenty to forty person fleets to beat back the new “Revenant” supercarriers, their fierce fighter bombers and the fleets at their command. Victors against these “incursions” will reap tremendous rewards for their bravery.

SYNOPSIS

When second-graders Bryce and Juli first meet, Juli knows it’s love.

Bryce isn’t so sure.

Beginning that day, and for the next six years, young Bryce (Callan McAuliffe) does everything he can to keep his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm’s length…which isn’t easy since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other.

Smart, dreamy, independent and willing to stand up for what she believes in, Juli (Madeline Carroll) is different from anyone else he knows and, frankly, it’s a little overwhelming. What’s a guy supposed to do when a girl tells him his hair smells like watermelon or wants him to sit in a tree for the spectacular view? There’s just no telling what Juli will do next, and Bryce is one guy who’d rather be safe than sorry.

Though disappointed by Bryce’s unwillingness to see things her way, or even to see the things in life she finds most meaningful, Juli continues to give her potential dreamboat the benefit of the doubt. Until those doubts stack up so high that she finally thinks maybe she was wrong about him.

It’s just about the same time Bryce starts to think maybe he was wrong about her, too. But is he too late?

MADMAN ACQUIRES studio ghibli’s KARI-GURASHI no ARRIETTY

Madman is proud to announce the acquisition of KARI-GURASHI no ARRIETTY, the latest masterwork from the Academy Award®-winning Studio Ghibli.

Based on Mary Norton’s much-loved children’s fantasy novel series THE BORROWERS, KARI-GURASHI no ARRIETTY revolves around 14-year-old Arrietty and the rest of her family – a race of “tiny people” who live in peaceful anonymity under the floorboards as they make their own home from items ‘borrowed’ from the house’s human inhabitants.

Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli founder and director of such award-winning films as SPIRITED AWAY and HOWL’S MOVING CASTLE, wrote the screenplay and supervised the production of ARRIETTY. The film also marks the directorial debut of animator Hiromasa Yonebayashi, the youngest person ever to direct a film for Studio Ghibli.

KARI-GURASHI no ARRIETTY spent 11 of its 15 weeks in the Kogyo Tsushinsha Japanese box-office charts residing in the top 10, and since its premiere on July 11, had grossed in excess U.S. $110 million at the end of its theatrical run.

Madman will release ARRIETTY in Australian cinemas in 2011.

Princess Coronation Set – Christmas Update ? The Romance of the Rail hits Trainz –

AUSTRALIA, 25.11.2010 – The feature packed Princess Coronation set is a must have for anyone with a taste for the romance of rail.

Conceived by the office of Sir William A. Stanier, FRS, the Princess Coronation is a classic example of British engineering at its finest. In the heated rivalry remembered as “the race to the north”, these magnificent machines were devised to speed the LMS “Coronation Scot” service in competition with the LNER’s Flying Scotsman for London-Scotland traffic. Capable of delivering over 3000hp the “Big Lizzys” were a formidable match for Gresley’s A4.

The first 10 locos of the class were built with a streamlined cladding colloquially referred to as an upside down bathtub. Due to the added weight and maintenance difficulties the streamlining proved unviable and it was later removed revealing a locomotive of very handsome lines.

The remaining 28 locos were built without streamlining and the class became commonly known as “Duchesses”. From 1945 smoke deflectors were fitted to help with smoke obscuring the crew’s forward vision, giving them the distinctive final appearance that became so popular with observers.

The LMS Princess Coronation pack is a high quality depiction of the class in LMS crimson and BR green liveries in unstreamlined guise as it appeared in latter years of service.

These painstakingly modeled locomotives make use of the latest sound, physics and smoke systems. A custom cab interior and clever additional features such as scripted couplers, brake hoses, nameboards and configurable marker lamps make these horses a satisfying addition to your Trainz stable.

Such a stylish locomotive deserves a stylish consist, and providing the perfect accompaniment, is a set of LMS Period 3 (Stanier) coaches.

With such attention to detail and so many great features, we’re sure you’ll find the Princess Coronation pack a truly immersive Trainz experience. Keep any eye on the newsletter for more information!
