Once the tire leaves the player's hands, the player watches. Every run diverges based on terrain, because a small step can launch the tire into the air and a badly hit pebble can stop it dead. The build ships with five maps, including snowy mountains, wastelands, and outer space, and each map rolls the tire differently. Multiple tire types are selectable, and the choice of tire changes how it travels, so matching a tire to a stage matters. Runs are measured, and the best distance is posted to a public leaderboard for players worldwide to compare. AROTA - Tire God also supports online PvP, where two players roll in real time to see whose tire travels farther. Tire appearance can be customized, from bright colors to a realistic look. key_facts: HARRY MASTINO is developing AROTA - Tire God for PC (Steam).; AROTA - Tire God has five maps, including snowy mountains, wastelands, and outer space.; AROTA - Tire God measures the distance of every roll and posts the best record to a public leaderboard.; AROTA - Tire God supports online PvP, with two players rolling against each other in real time.; AROTA - Tire God lets players customize the appearance of the tire. The five maps are described as rendered with realistic graphics, and the terrain in each one changes how the tire travels. Snowy mountains, wastelands, and outer space are three of the five; the two remaining stages are not named in the coverage. The tire-rolling itself is framed as a spectator experience. In the source description, a tire can "fly vigorously through the air off a small step," or it can "come to a dead stop if it hits a pebble the wrong way." The player watches and cheers it on after the throw. Tire selection is presented as a compatibility decision: which tire to use depends on the stage, and the roll changes with the choice. Customization covers flashy vivid colors on one end and a realism pursuit on the other, described as creating your own partner. Online play pairs real time distance races with leaderboard ranking, and the multiplayer mode is described as a cheering battle between two players. HARRY MASTINO is developing the game for PC via Steam, with no release date given in the coverage. --- --- id: r_5580fea91e468644847e6752 slug: boku-to-tsuri-nikki-launches-for-switch-and-switch-2 url: https://yomimono.id/boku-to-tsuri-nikki-launches-for-switch-and-switch-2 published: 2026-10-08T00:06:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: Boku to Tsuri Nikki Launches for Switch and Switch 2 take: A fishing RPG that trades reflex-driven fishing for encyclopedia-based prediction is a distinct design bet, and Imagineer is shipping it across both Switch generations at once. summary: Imagineer released the fishing action RPG Boku to Tsuri Nikki for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Developer Toybox built it around freshwater and mountain stream fishing at rivers, lakes, and ponds in a Japanese-style setting. Players read an encyclopedia to predict fish habitats instead of hunting for fish shadows, and fish to break a curse across eight fishing spots. The game has over 100 fish types. The release, developed by Toybox, frames fishing as deduction rather than reaction: players use an encyclopedia to work out where fish live, then cast at predicted points. The source describes this as making wit and a fisherman's intuition important, with exploration and strategy driving the core loop. Alongside real fish such as ayu and oikawa, the game includes original mystery fish warped by a curse, plus rods and lures whose variety is meant to matter for each target. Cute ayakashi companions join the adventure to restore color to a world stripped of it across eight fishing spots. --- --- id: r_d5baccb6aac5a4631a8a3b13 slug: texel-raptor-shows-croakwood-footage-steam-early-access-planned-for-this-winter url: https://yomimono.id/texel-raptor-shows-croakwood-footage-steam-early-access-planned-for-this-winter published: 2026-10-08T00:06:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: Texel Raptor Shows Croakwood Footage, Steam Early Access Planned For This Winter take: The studio that built Parkitect is applying the same management-first design to a town builder, and the no-combat, no-rush structure is the deliberate result of stripping out the military elements its co-founder did not enjoy, with early access set for this winter. summary: Texel Raptor, the studio behind Parkitect, released new footage of its single-player town-building game Croakwood. The game has no combat or time limits, and lets players build part by part indoors and outdoors while frog residents gather and process resources. Development started at the end of 2020 and the game was announced in 2024. A PC release on Steam is planned to enter early access this winter. The new footage follows a small settlement as it grows into a town. Players place furniture and buildings part by part indoors and outdoors, choosing colors and layouts themselves. Frog residents gather and process resources and go about daily life, and the surrounding forest opens up as players explore. The developer's co-founder said the relaxed design came from removing the military elements common in strategy games, and that the game still aims to work as a town-building strategy game rather than dropping the management layer. --- --- id: r_01d71fb7263831ce7b63585a slug: junji-ito-pop-up-store-zankyo-opens-at-hands-omiya-on-october-20 url: https://yomimono.id/junji-ito-pop-up-store-zankyo-opens-at-hands-omiya-on-october-20 published: 2026-10-07T23:51:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Nijimen headline: Junji Ito Pop Up Store Zankyo Opens at Hands Omiya on October 20 take: The Graveyard Gallery event, known for its Tomie-themed goods, is confirmed for a nationwide tour, and Hands Omiya is one of the stops. summary: The Junji Ito POP UP STORE 'Zankyo' runs from October 20 to November 24, 2026 on the fifth floor of Hands Omiya.

It is available on Steam for PC at 605 yen, with a 50% discount running until October 9. Superhero Simulator pairs patrol work against villains with ordinary shifts driving a taxi or flipping burgers, because hero work does not pay.

The company also said it is launching a voice AI agent business using the technology. It reported three initial results as elemental technologies in the stage preceding RSI. ELYZA RSI Research is built to have AI agents take over part of the research and development work humans have handled, running on the KDDI Group's large-scale GPU infrastructure. The company frames RSI as a four-level progression. In the first level, humans prepare data and modify code. Development then moves to Human-in-the-loop, where humans judge improvement proposals from AI, then to Human-on-the-loop, where individual tasks go to AI and humans judge only deliverables. The final stage is a closed loop where humans set objectives and constraints and AI repeats improvements on its own. Standardization of the process from model training to evaluation : Human-intervention work compressed to about one to two days, and a domestic model with advanced reasoning capabilities released in a form available for commercial use Automation of the evaluation process : Tests aligned with real-world operations, beyond the conventional pass/fail judgment of final results --- --- id: r_b4f5e60fde300564643aee52 slug: jbl-shows-foldable-soundbar-and-fall-audio-lineup-at-tokyo-event url: https://yomimono.id/jbl-shows-foldable-soundbar-and-fall-audio-lineup-at-tokyo-event published: 2026-10-07T23:21:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from ASCII.jp headline: JBL Shows Foldable Soundbar And Fall Audio Lineup At Tokyo Event take: JBL is pushing a foldable soundbar design and a SurroundPlay feature that turns its portable Bluetooth speakers into real rear channels, a bid to sell more hardware to buyers who already own JBL speakers. summary: Harman International held a private Tokyo event on October 7 to introduce new JBL audio products, along with Mark Levinson and Harman Kardon, and outline future brand strategy. The JBL Cinema SB500 MkII series drew attention: the SB510 MkII is a 200W one-bar model with a built-in subwoofer and HDMI ARC, while the SB580 MkII adds a separate 440W wireless subwoofer with Dolby Atmos. The JBL Cinema SB500 MkII series is built around three stated priorities: sound quality, expandability, and transport efficiency.

It is set in 73 BC in Pompeii, where the player starts with a few gold coins, buys men in the city, arms, feeds, trains, and treats their wounds, then sends them to matches. Players can watch fights or control a gladiator directly, and can reward, sell, free, or execute them. The announcement trailer shows gladiators fighting to the death with blood spraying, and battles ranging from 1-on-1 to 64-on-64. Beyond the school management, players can step into combat and control a gladiator directly. The men under the player's care are not a fixed roster. Habet lets the player reward a gladiator, sell them off, free them, or execute them, and that decision is the player's alone.

Tested against GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 on six applications, from filtering support tickets to inspecting circuit boards, d1 matched or beat GPT-6.1 Sol on four, ran at 19 to 200 times lower cost, and answered faster on every task, at 200 to 300 ms for text. d1 does not write out answers. It returns the probability of each option in one forward pass, which is why text decisions land in 200 to 300 milliseconds and why image input is a cheap addition: the same pass now reads pixels or prose. Liquid AI says the model was tested on six real applications, from support ticket filtering to circuit board inspection, against GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5. On demos, d1 classified good and defective parts at 85 to 97 percent accuracy without training, read a Wordle board straight from a screenshot so developers no longer needed a text version, and guessed drawings in Quick, Draw! at an average of 5.2 out of 6. --- --- id: r_70687de510025bd202971559 slug: a16z-s-ben-horowitz-says-japan-s-component-supply-chain-is-the-ai-robotics-opening url: https://yomimono.id/a16z-s-ben-horowitz-says-japan-s-component-supply-chain-is-the-ai-robotics-opening published: 2026-10-07T22:51:07.000Z sources: 1 articles from ASCII.jp headline: A16z's Ben Horowitz Says Japan's Component Supply Chain Is the AI Robotics Opening take: Horowitz's pitch recasts Japan's component suppliers and robotics sector as the physical layer that a16z's AI bets need, which is why the firm opened a Japan office and is investing in companies like Genki Robotics and Shizuku AI. summary: Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner of Andreessen Horowitz, spoke at Global Startup EXPO 2026 in Osaka on October 6, in a keynote moderated by Kathy Matsui of MPower Partners. He said pairing Japan's manufacturing and robotics sectors, including actuators, force-torque sensors, and component supply chains, with US AI technology could produce world-leading robotics companies, and he named AI infrastructure shortages as a bottleneck. Horowitz took the second-day keynote of Global Startup EXPO 2026, held across the Nakanoshima and Umekita areas of Osaka from October 5 to 7. Kathy Matsui of MPower Partners moderated. He tied the firm's Japan office, announced after his May 2026 meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, to an investment case built on Japanese component supply chains and US AI models. He also described where the AI buildout is straining. Power supply, transformers, turbines, cooling technology, and memory semiconductors are all undersupplied, and he expects that imbalance to persist into 2027 and 2028. --- --- id: r_04260949f9a3c8e16dde4675 slug: app-pay-adds-ensemble-stars-web-shop-as-storefront-titles-reach-71 url: https://yomimono.id/app-pay-adds-ensemble-stars-web-shop-as-storefront-titles-reach-71 published: 2026-10-07T22:51:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from 4Gamer.net headline: App Pay Adds Ensemble Stars Web Shop As Storefront Titles Reach 71 take: Enlarging the storefront to 71 apps does not fix the structural problem App Pay itself describes: an out-of-app store is a narrow specialist shop that only converts during the sale events a player already cares about. summary: At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Digital Garage's App Pay presented a web shop for the Ensemble Stars!! games. Titles using the out-of-app payment service grew from 40 to 71, and the company's earnings results rose about 600 percent, according to the booth staff. App Pay sells paid in-game currency at app store prices with extra diamonds added, and the company says results still depend on whether users know the option exists. Digital Garage's App Pay used Tokyo Game Show 2026 to promote a web shop for Happy Elements' Ensemble Stars!!, running the game's music videos inside its booth. The company counts the tie-up as a popular title that can carry the service's pitch. Speaking at the booth, staff put the title count at 71, up from 40, with earnings results up about 600 percent. Asked why some apps convert and others do not, the answer was user awareness of the out-of-app option, and the company compared it to companies that built online shops assuming goods sell themselves. The service sells paid currency at app store prices with extra currency added, an incentive aimed at the same customers it already reaches. --- --- id: r_78963d63ed8d7dca72a6343d slug: dragon-s-dogma-2-dark-arisen-on-switch-2-bundles-base-game-and-expansion url: https://yomimono.id/dragon-s-dogma-2-dark-arisen-on-switch-2-bundles-base-game-and-expansion published: 2026-10-07T22:51:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from 4Gamer.net headline: Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on Switch 2 Bundles Base Game and Expansion take: The Switch 2 version is the only one where the base game and Dark Arisen arrive as a single piece of software, which makes the portable release the simplest way to start the expansion content from scratch. summary: The Switch 2 release of Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen carries the base game and the expansion in one package when it launches on October 9, 2026. Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions sell the bundle and the standalone expansion separately, and the expansion still requires the base game. A play report describes smooth FSR3 frame generation and handheld or TV modes. The Switch 2 edition hands the player both the base game and the Dark Arisen content on one piece of software. Elsewhere the pieces stay apart: Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S buyers can take the set or buy the expansion alone, and the expansion does not run without the base game. The play report describes FSR3 frame generation, smooth movement, and a choice between TV mode for image quality and handheld mode for shorter sessions. It also notes that the graphics fall short of the PC version but hold up on the handheld screen. --- --- id: r_da77b96303d1b7ff095f5929 slug: rockstar-details-gta-6-npcs-police-heat-and-criminal-profile-system url: https://yomimono.id/rockstar-details-gta-6-npcs-police-heat-and-criminal-profile-system published: 2026-10-07T22:21:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: Rockstar Details GTA 6 NPCs, Police Heat, and Criminal Profile System take: Rockstar is describing an open world where the simulation pushes back on the player instead of waiting for them, which sets GTA 6's design apart from the series' older power fantasy. summary: Rockstar co-studio head Rob Nelson told IGN that Grand Theft Auto VI will not make players all-powerful the way past entries did.

The game is a four-player dungeon runner where teams fight together but only one player wins, with boss fights, time trials, medal-based rankings, build crafting from weapons and abilities, and Disruptors used to attack enemies or drain rivals' points. The playtest runs November 6 to November 8 on PC, with registration handled through the official site's waitlist via Discord or Steam. Matches put four players in a dungeon race across a dimensional tournament, where cooperation and sabotage sit in the same run. Medals awarded per mission decide standings, so the scoring rewards knowing when to fight a boss, when to finish a time trial, and when to turn on a rival. Builds come from weapons and abilities, and Disruptors can be fired at enemies or spent to steal points from competitors. --- --- id: r_5786db7b3a74b4043a1cfb21 slug: google-and-unity-partner-on-ai-game-creation-platform-trial-version-available-in-the-us url: https://yomimono.id/google-and-unity-partner-on-ai-game-creation-platform-trial-version-available-in-the-us published: 2026-10-07T16:06:07.000Z sources: 1 articles from Denfaminicogamer headline: Google and Unity Partner on AI Game Creation Platform, Trial Version Available in the US take: The partnership puts Google's AI and distribution reach behind Unity's engine and asset library, aiming to bring game creation to people who do not write code. summary: Google and Unity announced a strategic partnership on October 7 for an AI-powered game platform. At its core is Playground, a no-code tool that generates playable games from natural language prompts, offered in a trial capacity the same day for users 18 and older in the United States. An expanded environment called Unity Spark is planned within the year, with publishing tools and Google network features. Playground accepts prompts in natural language and generates customizable games without coding.

Published works include player sharing and likes. Unity Spark, planned within the year, is built on Playground and aims to add more full-fledged game mechanics, high-quality 3D expression, and the flexibility of the Unity runtime. Publishing tools are also being prepared, and Google has indicated a policy of featuring works created in Playground across its network. --- --- id: r_39e1b81216ff3a3982b94d83 slug: manga-up-global-adds-five-manga-including-vampxia-and-bitter-knight-in-my-sweet-cafe url: https://yomimono.id/manga-up-global-adds-five-manga-including-vampxia-and-bitter-knight-in-my-sweet-cafe published: 2026-10-07T16:06:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Anime News Network headline: Manga Up!

The map sits in the northern Rust Belt and holds a supermarket, a huge station, a crashed giant ARC called Emperor, and a rail junction. Localized blizzards trigger Flash Freeze, which drains HP outdoors and turns vision white, so Raiders must shelter in buildings. New ARC include Bree, a large enemy that fires homing projectiles scattering grenades, and Skulker, a small ground unit that fires from range and repositions for line of sight. The update adds the Grapple Hook, a reusable gadget for climbing to rooftops and crossing gaps, and the Tether Launcher, which pins flying ARC to the ground for a short time. Weapons include the Stiletto battle rifle and the Bantam hand cannon. Extraction runs through the Ballistic Gondola, which carries three players. key_facts: ARC Raiders update Frozen Trail releases on October 8, 2026, from Embark Studios.; Frozen Trail adds the snow map Pendra Pass, which includes a crashed giant ARC called Emperor, a supermarket, and a rail junction.; Flash Freeze is a localized blizzard that drains HP outdoors and lasts about 3 minutes.; The Ballistic Gondola extracts up to 3 players and lands 100 to 150 meters from the transceiver used to call it.; A PvE matchmaking test runs from October 13 to October 20, with a free play period from October 8 to October 12. Flash Freeze lasts three minutes and is tracked on screen, with the blizzard visibly intensifying before it hits. Its damage is heavy enough that a solo Raider can be forced indoors mid-fight, and the report describes wandering a whiteout asking "Where is a building?" while HP drains. Pendra Pass landmarks: a supermarket, a huge station, Armatella Station, an observatory, a deep space telescope, an old town, and a railway junction. Reaper-scale ARC Bree fires homing projectiles that scatter grenades, which can rain in through window and ceiling gaps. Skulker is a small ground ARC that repositions for a clear firing line and blends into the snow, so multiple can flank unnoticed. Grapple Hook climbs walls and crosses gaps, and can be thrown at ARC to hang from flyers or obstruct ground units. Tether Launcher pins flying ARC to the ground, but the reported hold time felt short. Stiletto is an accurate semi-automatic rifle with weak ARC armor penetration; Bantam is a double-action hand cannon that cannot take a suppressor. Weapon upgrade tier four adds full-auto conversion for the Beretta and a long-range scope for the Renegade. Emperor Beacon placement triggers debris first, then a payload, with a loud siren on gondola request. Camera filters, flash, selfie mode, focus, and a banjo were also playable. A PvE matchmaking test runs October 13 to 20, and free play runs October 8 to 12 across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. --- --- id: r_f81f1e0194cbbc4933161de3 slug: the-laid-off-cheat-granting-mage-enjoys-a-second-lease-on-life-opens-silly-and-fast url: https://yomimono.id/the-laid-off-cheat-granting-mage-enjoys-a-second-lease-on-life-opens-silly-and-fast published: 2026-10-07T15:36:08.000Z sources: 1 articles from Beneath the Tangles headline: The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life Opens Silly and Fast take: The premiere clears its expulsion setup in about four minutes, and the review's point is that the show's comedy comes from the situations around Rein rather than from the joke of an overpowered lead. summary: A first-impression review of The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life, now streaming on Crunchyroll. Rein works at Beast's Fangs, loses his spot when the guildmaster tries out firing non-combat staff, and recalls every enchantment he ever cast on the guild's gear. He pours them into his own clothes and dagger, then sets out as an adventurer. The departure is quick. Rein is out of Beast's Fangs within the opening stretch, and the episode spends over 20 seconds of that on him screaming through the title screen. What follows is his response: he recalls the enchantments he placed on the guild's weapons and armor and applies them to plain clothing and a dagger he already owns. The review reads the early maxed-out upgrade as a signal that long training arcs are unlikely, and notes the self-awareness holds through the back half instead of dropping back into straight trope play. The art, animation, and sound effects are cited as the parts that keep the comedy committed. --- --- id: r_4a7a2440cedbff37f1e4d4c0 slug: polylab-studio-releases-iron-dawn-demo-on-steam url: https://yomimono.id/polylab-studio-releases-iron-dawn-demo-on-steam published: 2026-10-07T15:36:07.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: Polylab Studio Releases Iron Dawn Demo on Steam take: The demo gives Polylab Studio a chance to test whether its retreat-timing hook and destructible battlefields hold up with players before the Q4 2026 PC launch. summary: Polylab Studio has put out a demo of Iron Dawn, a tactical mech shooter, on Steam. Players pilot a four-part mech, swapping turret, hull, and main and sub weapons, and choose among bipedal, quadrupedal, and tracked chassis. Stages are fully destructible, from enemies to buildings, and missions reward destruction. The full game is scheduled for PC via Steam in Q4 2026. The demo version of Iron Dawn is now live on Steam. It is a tactical mech shooter from Polylab Studio, and the controls lean toward the deliberate side: mouse-aimed turret, WASD movement, missions built around clearing objectives. The mech breaks into four parts (turret, hull, main weapon, sub weapon), and chassis options include bipedal, quadrupedal, and tracked builds. Rebuilding the machine to suit each mission is part of the loop. Everything on a stage can be destroyed, enemies and buildings alike, and chain explosions from fuel tanks can clear groups at once. Getting caught in those same explosions hurts your own mech, and the difficulty is high enough that knowing when to retreat matters. --- --- id: r_b7e2bfe4bfa0e0f63d95f7f5 slug: basilisk-the-koga-ninja-scrolls-returns-to-tokyo-mx-on-october-12 url: https://yomimono.id/basilisk-the-koga-ninja-scrolls-returns-to-tokyo-mx-on-october-12 published: 2026-10-07T15:36:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Denfaminicogamer headline: Basilisk: The Koga Ninja Scrolls Returns To Tokyo Mx On October 12 take: A late-night ninja action adaptation from the mid-2000s gets a full 24-episode Monday slot on a major Tokyo station, which puts it in front of an audience it did not have during its original run. summary: The official account for the anime Basilisk: The Koga Ninja Scrolls announced on October 7 that all 24 episodes will be rebroadcast on TOKYO MX starting October 12, airing every Monday at 21:25.

Kousuke Toriumi voices Gennosuke Koga and Nana Mizuki voices Oboro. The source material follows the fates of the Koga and Iga ninja clans, and the anime's action sequences are a stated draw. --- --- id: r_78e67b90c1ead88ed3cd0531 slug: doukutsu-penguin-club-announces-a-tiny-wander-for-q2-2027 url: https://yomimono.id/doukutsu-penguin-club-announces-a-tiny-wander-for-q2-2027 published: 2026-10-07T15:36:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from Denfaminicogamer headline: DOUKUTSU PENGUIN CLUB Announces A Tiny Wander For Q2 2027 take: The game's structure lets a player reach an ending directly from the early game depending on how the mysteries are solved, so the puzzle count is not fixed by a linear chapter order. summary: DOUKUTSU PENGUIN CLUB is developing A Tiny Wander, an exploration puzzle adventure in which the world and the story themselves are the puzzle. The studio plans a release in the second quarter of 2027 on Steam, and a demo version can be played from the game's Steam store page. The setting is a forest of giant trees feared as the "Forest of No Return" because people keep going missing there. The story starts when a traveling delivery courier carelessly accepts a delivery to that forest. The player takes the role of the courier Buu and works toward the depths of the sealed-off forest by observing the surroundings and talking to residents. Buu decides the depths will not be easy to reach, so he sets up camp at the forest's edge to gather information. Solving the troubles of individual residents, among them a crybaby beastman and a mushroom fisherman, leads to clues for the mysteries hidden in the forest. key_facts: DOUKUTSU PENGUIN CLUB is developing A Tiny Wander, an exploration puzzle adventure game in which the world and story themselves are the puzzle.; A Tiny Wander is planned for release in the second quarter of 2027 on Steam.; A demo version of A Tiny Wander can be played from the game's Steam store page.; The player controls the delivery courier Buu, who camps at the edge of the "Forest of No Return" to gather information.; Players read dark signboards with a lantern and carry materials to build a bridge that expands the range of movement. The developer behind the project is DOUKUTSU PENGUIN CLUB, and the game is being pitched as an exploration puzzle adventure where the world and the story are the puzzle itself. The team built the game around a non-linear narrative, so puzzles are meant to feel like part of the world rather than obstacles placed in it. Exploration asks the player to carry a lantern and watch the surroundings, then act on the environment. Lighting a dark, unreadable signboard with light, or hauling materials to build a bridge and widen the map, are the kinds of actions that move things forward. Knowledge about the forest accumulates as "memories," and connections between things that once looked separate start to surface. The presentation moves the sky and scenery slowly toward night as time passes, and the characters have simple, cute designs with expressive faces. Downtime between explorations includes serving coffee to residents and gathering around a campfire under the full moon. Both write-ups describe the release window as Q2 2027 on Steam, and both point to a demo that can be played from the Steam store page. --- --- id: r_8dcfeb5b83e8cdc1a7d52551 slug: atmosfar-early-access-begins-october-30-on-steam-and-epic url: https://yomimono.id/atmosfar-early-access-begins-october-30-on-steam-and-epic published: 2026-10-07T15:06:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: ATMOSFAR Early Access Begins October 30 On Steam And Epic take: Apog Labs built a following on the management simulation Airport CEO, and ATMOSFAR moves the studio into open-world exploration with co-op, so the early access period is the first real read on whether that audience follows them into a different genre. summary: Apog Labs will open early access for ATMOSFAR on October 30, 2026 Japan time on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The open-world adventure is set on Taikos, a planet of floating islands, and is played aboard a small airship called the Wasp. It supports solo play and up to four-player co-op, with life-support power management, crafting, fuel production, and airship part swapping. The early access period is planned to last at least nine months. Apog Labs is the studio behind Airport CEO, an airport management simulation that carries a Very Positive rating across all Steam reviews. ATMOSFAR keeps the systems-first approach but moves it to Taikos, where players fly a small airship called the Wasp between floating islands rather than schedule flights on the ground. The early access build covers solo play and up to four-player co-op. Players manage power for life support, gather materials to upgrade items and tools, produce fuel, and swap parts and attachments on the Wasp. Apog Labs plans the early access period to run at least nine months. --- --- id: r_fb35ead87d55b5bf2ccf7468 slug: the-hero-s-party-has-been-wiped-out-sets-november-10-release url: https://yomimono.id/the-hero-s-party-has-been-wiped-out-sets-november-10-release published: 2026-10-07T15:06:05.000Z sources: 4 articles from 4Gamer.net, Automaton, Denfaminicogamer, Game Spark headline: The Hero's Party Has Been Wiped Out Sets November 10 Release take: The demo's first boss battle and its four selectable partners give prospective buyers a full slice of the game's card combat and per-character route structure before the November 10 launch, which matters more for a delayed title still carrying an undecided price. summary: Death Kumiai is developing and Flashlight Games is publishing The Hero's Party Has Been Wiped Out, a turn-based roguelite RPG now set to launch on November 10, 2026 for PC via Steam. The game was originally planned for July 22, 2026, and the delay was attributed to time needed to improve the overall feel and adjust battle balance. The price is undecided. In the game, the player is the lone survivor of a rescue team sent after a hero's party that went missing in a dungeon. The player finds four members, each broken in a different way, and chooses one as a partner to escape with. Combat is a turn-based card battle where items in hand become cards with limited uses. A demo playable up to the first boss, the Exile, with all four partners selectable, is scheduled for release soon, alongside a new trailer marking the release date announcement. key_facts: The Hero's Party Has Been Wiped Out is set to launch on November 10, 2026 for PC via Steam.; The game was originally scheduled for July 22, 2026, and the delay was attributed to improving the overall feel and adjusting battle balance.; The Hero's Party Has Been Wiped Out has surpassed 150,000 wishlist registrations on Steam, and its price is undecided.; A demo playable up to the first boss, the Exile, is scheduled for release soon, with all four partners selectable.; The game's text volume is over 400,000 characters, with more than 400 illustrations and over 100 types of weapons and items. The game carries over 150,000 Steam wishlist registrations, a figure the press release cites alongside the new date. The announcement came on October 7, 2026, with a trailer showing full-game illustrations and dungeon footage. The "Hero," who has lost words and can only manage "yes" or "no." The "Mage," who has lost her magic power; giving her the Flame Staff deals zero damage. The "Warrior," whose soul resides in a doll, leaving the body behind. The "Priest," who has abandoned faith for an evil god. Each partner has a fully independent route with multiple endings, about 6 hours per route across four routes. Combat uses two selectable styles: "Conviction and Will," fought with timing inputs, and "Choice and Fate," fought with probability. Neither affects the story. Enemies announce their next action in advance. Breaking an enemy's stance and landing a weapon's "last use" triggers a fatal blow that kills instantly and steals equipment. Shattering items generates "curses," a stacking resource that can nullify traps or bad roulette draws and, on death, builds wanted items or converts to experience; players retry from the floor they fell on. The game has over 400,000 characters of text and more than 400 individually drawn illustrations, with Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and English supported. Over 100 weapon and item types appear, changing as the game progresses. --- --- id: r_d69125be4ae8ae3fbb7f8cd2 slug: monster-hunter-rise-store-pages-list-netflix-as-distributor-for-ios-and-android url: https://yomimono.id/monster-hunter-rise-store-pages-list-netflix-as-distributor-for-ios-and-android published: 2026-10-07T14:51:06.000Z sources: 1 articles from Game Spark headline: Monster Hunter Rise Store Pages List Netflix As Distributor For iOS And Android take: The store listings describe a mobile build with a recovery button and touch controls rebuilt for phones and tablets, which points to a version reworked for the platform rather than a direct port. summary: Store pages for an iOS and Android version of Capcom's Monster Hunter Rise are live and list Netflix as the distributor, according to reporting by RPG Site. The pages state a Netflix subscription is required and give age ratings of 13+ on iOS and 16+ on Android. Neither Capcom nor Netflix has made an official announcement. The listings describe changes beyond a straightforward port. Challenge Quests and Event Quests that were previously paid or limited-time downloadable content can be unlocked as the game progresses. A new recovery button picks the most effective item from the inventory during combat based on the hunter's health and status, so players can spend attention on other decisions. The touch controls are rebuilt for smartphone and tablet screens and support each weapon's control scheme. The pages say the visuals scale to different screen sizes and aspect ratios.

Shimura said she made no specific requests for the adaptation and that the production team worked carefully. She said the school drew partly on the Takarazuka Revue as a reference, and that the omnibus structure serves stories about people who are not geniuses. Shimura said the anime adaptation came together without demands from her side. The materials and meetings showed a team working carefully, she said, and she had no specific requests. She described herself as a theatergoer rather than a performer, someone who saw plays as a child and later turned to manga because it only needed paper and a pencil. For the manga's setting, she said the Takarazuka Revue and its music school were a reference, though she wanted a specialized all-female school rather than a story about Takarazuka. She also explained the omnibus format: she wanted to write about people who are not geniuses, and about the families and backstage figures that usually sit in subplots. --- --- id: r_d0bbf4e236b81545d078fe11 slug: tokyo-revengers-cast-talk-darker-mikey-at-anime-expo-2026 url: https://yomimono.id/tokyo-revengers-cast-talk-darker-mikey-at-anime-expo-2026 published: 2026-10-07T14:21:05.000Z sources: 1 articles from Anime News Network headline: Tokyo Revengers Cast Talk Darker Mikey at Anime Expo 2026 take: The cast's own descriptions of where season three takes Mikey and Takemichi set expectations for the adaptation's next arc, and the panel doubles as a promotional stop for that season. summary: At Anime Expo 2026, the Tokyo Revengers panel brought out Yuki Shin (Takemichi), Yuu Hayashi (Mikey), and Masaya Fukunishi (Draken) in Tokyo Manji Gang jackets.

Yuu Hayashi said recurring Mikey's arc leads to a darker version with no hesitation, and Yuki Shin said Takemichi's growth is psychological rather than physical.

Davuluri said Windows has a history of in-box games and that 3D Pinball will be added to the consideration matrix. The game was bundled with Windows through Windows XP and removed after a 64-bit port produced a bug. The comment was not a formal announcement. It was a user request surfaced in Microsoft's Inside Windows video, and the reply came from Windows & Devices EVP Pavan Davuluri, who said the company plans to add 3D Pinball to the matrix for consideration. CVP of Design and Research Marcus Ash also addressed it. 3D Pinball Space Cadet shipped with Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 and stayed preinstalled through Windows XP. A bug introduced in the 64-bit port, where the ball passed through the table, plus development priorities, took it out of the bundled lineup. Microsoft engineer Raymond Chen has said a working 32-bit repackage was planned and abandoned over licensing terms with original developer Cinematronics.

PlayWay S.A. publishes the game, which is set at a remote gas station in the 1990s and played in first person. The protagonist, Cole, takes a job and a live-in room from the station's owner and starts the night shift to rebuild his life. Players run the register, refuel cars, restock merchandise, and clean. Conversations with customers fill in the station and its surroundings. Across the nights, the routine turns less ordinary: strange talk escalates into arguments, and unexplained sounds and events raise doubts about the safety of the place where Cole works and sleeps. Players keep the job while asking about the station's past and the people around it. The demo runs from Cole's arrival through his first two night shifts, about 30 to 40 minutes. It will also be playable during Steam Next Fest. The full game is scheduled for PC via Steam in the first quarter of 2027. key_facts: A demo for Cursed Gas Station launches on Steam on October 14.; Wisold Games develops Cursed Gas Station and PlayWay S.A. publishes it.; The demo covers protagonist Cole's arrival at the gas station through his first two night shifts, about 30 to 40 minutes of play.; Cursed Gas Station is set at a remote gas station in the 1990s and is played in first person.; The full version of Cursed Gas Station is scheduled for release on PC via Steam in the first quarter of 2027. The demo's stated 30 to 40 minute length covers Cole's arrival at the station and his first two night shifts, which is a narrow window for a game whose scare structure depends on nights piling up. What the slice does show is the work loop: register, refueling, restocking, cleaning. The station's past and the people around it surface through customer conversations rather than cutscenes. The 1990s setting and remote location come from the game's own description, and both outlets frame the premise the same way. The full version is listed for PC via Steam in the first quarter of 2027, with the demo serving as the first hands-on look. Steam Next Fest gives that demo a second window beyond the October 14 launch, so players who miss the initial date can still try it during the festival period. --- --- id: r_2322724e5619b71a573f6d08 slug: honey-parade-games-details-shinobi-nexus-senran-kagura url: https://yomimono.id/honey-parade-games-details-shinobi-nexus-senran-kagura published: 2026-10-07T12:51:07.000Z sources: 1 articles from Denfaminicogamer headline: HONEY∞PARADE GAMES Details Shinobi NEXUS -Senran Kagura- take: The release strategy now runs through the game itself rather than the stage it lost: footage prepared for a canceled Tokyo Game Show program goes straight to YouTube, and the November stream is described as centering on actual gameplay rather than announcement talk. summary: On October 7, HONEY∞PARADE GAMES posted a video announcing new information about Shinobi NEXUS -Senran Kagura-, a new app game in the Senran Kagura series.
