The biggest addition to Bellwright is the new Halmare Isles map, which is roughly 25% the size of the original game! At over 10 square kilometers, this region includes all new story-based quests with multiple progression lines, expanded armor and equipment, new animals and buildings, and introduces a Loyalty & Faction system.

Other major additions to the core game include full controller support, a Trade and Caravans feature that provides a new layer of strategy as players build and manage a sophisticated logistics network between their outposts, and an improved Walls fortification system that allows players to construct walls for their camps. This includes new gameplay mechanics with specific AI behavior for attackers and defenders, which adds a fresh challenge and more strategic depth to base defense.

There’s a bounty of new customization features as well, like a much improved Character Creator, offering further options and higher fidelity player character models. Fashion-conscious players will also enjoy the New Weapon Types & Cloaks offering more ways to personalize player characters and show off their unique builds and looks. Another quality of life improvement is the addition of Blocking Markers on Building Placement, with a new system that now shows foliage blocking construction areas, along with the ability to task workers with removing the foliage before it is built.

“We’ve been very pleased by player response to Bellwright since launching it on Early Access last year, and we wanted to show our appreciation by refining the game into the expansive, feature-rich survival RPG you’ve dreamed of,” said Creative Director and Project Lead Florian Hoffreither. “Maiden Voyage massively expands Bellwright in both scale and features. It’s now bigger and better than ever and with over one million wishlists, there’s never been a better time to hop in!”

Capote

Brazilian bar game Capote! gets first major update with “King of the Bar”

Adds new customizable matches, redesigned lobby, and QoL improvements

São Paulo, Brazil, December 8th, 2025 – Luski Game Studio, in partnership with CriticalLeap, have today released the first major update “King of the Bar” to their multiplayer card game Capote! on Steam Early Access. Inspired by classic Brazilian bar games like Trucco, Capote! transports players to a sweltering Brazilian pub, where colorful characters while away the days competing in card games until only one of them is steady enough to stand. The studio also confirmed Capote!’s participation in the Steam Digital Event LAGS (Latin America Game Showcase), where players can discover the latest update and take advantage of a 20% discount available during the event.

Capote! offers a virtual trip to a Brazilian bar where 2-6 players compete in a card game of wits, bluffing, luck, and strategy. Mixing Trucco with a cavalcade of chaotic special cards, no win is guaranteed, and any card can flip the game. With a low barrier to entry and a high skill ceiling, Capote! offers a fun time, regardless of how good you are at it.

Watch the Capote! King of the Bar trailer

At the start of each round, players bet how many points they think they’ll amass, then play their cards round-by-round aiming to hit that exact number. Score too high or too low, and you’ll have to take a virtual shot for each point you’re off from your prediction. Hit four shots and… you’re out. Capotado!

Get dealt a bad hand? Don’t worry, as messing with your friends is a valid strategy. Play your special cards at the right time to twist the odds, sabotage their bets, or turn a sure win into chaos. Victory is nice, but laughing at your friend’s downfall is even nicer. Capote! is all about soaking in the lazy Sunday vibes and having a good time with a bit of unpredictability.

“One of the great things about playing drinking games at a bar is that you can infuse whatever you’re playing with your own house rules, so we wanted to add customization options like that to Capote!,” said Gabriel Guedes, Game Designer at Luski Game Studio. “This is just the beginning though, as we’ll be adding even more modes in the future. We’re teasing upcoming Blackjack and Trucco modes as well, so stay tuned for more!”

Forever Skies pc 1.0

Survival games a genre of there own from being stranded on islands to fighting against nature and other people survival games have very seldom strayed from the formula keeping story’s to a minimum but today a new survival game thats graced me with there 1.0 game play has kicked things up a notch and is truly one worth playing.

First off huge thank you to Far From Home for sending me a copy of there game its been on steam early access for a while but now with its 1.0 its also available on consoles so check it out.

Humanity has abandoned earth those able to leave live in space on the Ark those left behind well they have suffered a great deal with this catastrophe. The people on the Ark are dying from a virus named the Grey Plague with no cure in sight they launch you the player back down into earth to find a cure go figure.

So on earth nature has taken over theres haze and dust everywhere and humanity lives in the sky. So what’s going on here i dont know or do I.

So you crash land at the coordinates of the last surveyors that were there on the same mission and this is where the tutorial starts showing you what to grab and what to find you manage to find a device that basically breaks items down to a molecular level at least thats the animation the items fit normally in your bag but this is how you get materials with this molecular extractor. Then you are tasked with repairing a ship and finding the resource scanner which helps you identify things and learn what they are what they do and where to find them.

Theres so much to do after the tutorial the story involves you finding the people that came before you so lots of random flying until you find new buildings and discover more. You will find random data pads some have missions other tell the stories of the people before you and continue the story mission.

This game for a survival game offers so much on the exploration building up the awesome ship you find and just chilling as you slowly float along I promise you its worth it the scenery though morbid it offers its own unique beauty.

Now onto the issues ive found the biggest being the radar map you find a radar blueprint and build it this is how you get to places easier and learn where to go but the issue is your stuck with a tiny ass screen instead of being able to blow it up much bigger like seriously then on top of that the random markers on the map have so descriptions to figure out what they are a big let down I feel the map coulda been bigger even if covered by a fog of war effect. Then materials it took me forever to find enough copper to build the next upgrade I needed cause the copper is only in one item im sorry ive passed a million things that could house copper but no they make it so scarce that its a bit demoralizing I wanted to quit plenty of times but I kept pushing I wanted that upgrade and im glad I did push forward the upgrade is a massive game changer but they need to make copper findable even in small amounts.

Other then those 2 complaints I have enjoyed my time with Forever Skies and I am thankful to be able to play it I highly recommend it to fellow survival fans and if you stopped playing cause of early access do yourself a favor go back the game is amazing.

The flying in this game is so good I wasnt sure what to expect even on mouse and keyboard you feel the resistance of the throttle engaging the ship slowing down and stopping as well as taking off and landing the flying alone is a massive win a solid 10 outta 10.

As for the story well guys I dont ruin stories you will have to play and find out, thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.
