Warp Frontier will be releasing a German text translation on June 6th!

The German localization has been headed up by Michael Stein of Warlocs (https://warlocs.com/), and a small team that has recently completed translations for Cloudpunk, Gibbous and Saint Kotar. This is Warp Frontier's second translation release, after the Chinese localization released during the Lunar New Year. The translation has been in talks since around December 2021, so this has been quite a process, but good translators are worth waiting for.

Warp Frontier has a new review from AusGamers!

"We’re in 2022, a time when the point-and-click adventure game genre is mostly seen as a retro thing. And with that it’s nice to see a game like Warp Frontier, a narrative adventure that can still deliver what made the genre so special in the first place. Through excellent world building, great characters, and a branching story, you’ve got a great slice of locally-grown sci-fi well worth digging into."

Adventure Gamers says Warp Frontier is good, in this great review!

"... it tells a meaningful tale set in a believable future, thoroughly fleshed out and populated by diverse, empathetic characters. Instead of presenting easy answers, it explores difficult questions, buoyed by heart and good humour and mixed through with challenging puzzles. That's a difficult line to tread, and the result is a memorable, occasionally frustrating, but thought-provoking experience. If you're looking for some serious sci-fi, chewy puzzles, or just something a little different, I can definitely recommend diving into Warp Frontier."

Limited only by a little lack of polish, this classic-styled adventure will keep you fully engaged with its serious sci-fi story and thoughtful puzzles. | Warp Frontier review

In addition to Switch, MacGuffin's Curse has also had a coat of polish, in the form of more pixels, on Windows, Mac and introducing, Linux!

The new update just dropped on Steam that adds Linux as a playable platform, and let's face it, probably Mac too, as this is the first update for the game in 10 years! Fun fact, MacGuffin's Curse released 10 years ago next month!

Another review of Warp Frontier on the Switch! When it rains it pours.

Reviewer Vulgar Knight was particularly taken by the interface, which is nice, because I put a lot of thought into it!

"...it’s the benchmark for user interfaces on consoles – especially the Switch. Warp Frontier feels very polished, has decent voice acting, and a story opens up the more you dive."

"I was utterly engrossed when playing. It’s worth noting that Warp Frontier is a very nice looking game and, in many ways, reminded me of a Wadjet Eye Games production. There’s even a director’s commentary here, and if it weren’t for time, I’d have devoured this already but genuinely looking forward to this as much as Strangeland or Primordia. "

In space you can't hear yourself scream, but you can hear yourself think. Put the grey matter to work in Warp Frontier for the Switch. Here are some words.

A lovely new Warp Frontier review up on Shindig. This time for Switch!

"Warp Frontier is an intriguing, impressive game. It’s got all the pieces of a classic point-and-click adventure, with a few neat twists on that formula and a neat hint system in case you get stuck. Through that, it weaves a gripping science-fiction tale, blending noir and dystopian influences through an excellent, uniquely Australian script backed by equally strong voice performances. Whether you’re after a puzzle-filled adventure game or just an engrossing and thought-provoking story, Warp Frontier has you covered."

It's so nice to have a second opinion of the game on the Switch, as the first metacritic-tracked review of Warp Frontier on the Switch was particularly damning!

Warp Frontier blends hard sci-fi, noir and dystopian influences, Australian candour, and clever puzzles into a gripping adventure game.

Flashback Friday! Fond memories of in-person weapons training with DIGGER TACTICAL. This is the sort of face Captain Cassini from Warp Frontier would have cause to use more than once in his life.

You can pick up Warp Frontier by Brawsome on Steam and join Captain Vincent Cassini, voiced by Kevin J Powe as he follows a lead on a war crime that devastated his home planet and led to the disappearances of thousands of Cetans, including his first wife and best friend.

MacGuffin's Curse has just been revealed on the Nintendo Store, with a release date of March 15!

If you're looking to relive some werewolf puzzle adventure memories, or discover it for the first time, I think the Switch is the best platform for the job!

It was the Best Game Writing winner at freeplay waaay back in 2011, and also selected for the PAX10 at the inaugural PAX Australia.

Warp Frontier is getting Chinese and German translations!

The Simplified and Traditional Chinese translations are launching for the Lunar New Year, and the German translation is coming in April. Hopefully an Aussie point and click adventure will translate well into other languages. I'm trying these first two to test the waters.

I ramble on more about it here:
