Way of the Samurai - An update on the beta

Hi everyone. As you’ve probably already noticed, Steam’s spooky Halloween sale which featured our very own chain-reaction-shooter OMG Zombies, and dungeon crawler Elminage Gothic, has now come to an end.  It was, as is usually the case with Steam Sales, a fantastic success :)  Thank you to everyone who bought one of our games during the sale - I really do hope you enjoy it.

We’re continuing to make really good progress on the PC version of Way of the Samurai 4 with more work going into the control system this week.  We’re still ironing out a lot of compatibility issues and although going from PS3 to PC is never the easiest thing to do, our guys are doing a sterling job! Given the number of requests I’ve been receiving, I know that a lot of you are very excited at the prospect of being part of the BETA phase.  So, you’ll no doubt be pleased to hear that in the next week I’ll be inviting a limited number of you into the first phase of the closed BETA.  If you’re not chosen for this first batch, there’s no need to worry as it won’t be long before I’ll be opening the BETA to our wider GL community.

Speaking of Way of the Samurai 4, Ben has been hard at work testing the game and taking a few rather cool looking screenshots of some of his more recent playthroughs.  I don’t believe we’ve actually shown off the PC version to you yet, so next week I’ll be giving you a quick look at some of them to show you where we are with the conversion.

In other news, readers of cult entertainment magazine, Starburst, may have noticed a review of Elminage Gothic in which they awarded it a very respectable 7/10 saying “Elminage Gothic is a blast from the past that will eat your time but not your wallet as it’s a fairly sweet budget game.”  If you want to read more, then feel free to check out the full review here.

That’s all from me.  I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our  Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight?
