No, this is not a suggestion for how to get your arm bitten off and be set on fire, this is another one of those mixed up mangled titles we often have in newsland when we've got several disparate updates to report.

First off, yes we have dragons! real actual dragons, and a strategy game thanks to Rocky waters, he of the Invaders from space, and three dimensional brains.

Dragon village is Rocky's most ambitious game yet. Take control of a group of peasants in a medieval fantasy village and try and help them survive. Plant crops, keep a weather eye open for floods, fend off those nasty outlaws and wolves and yes eventually contend with several types of dragon.

Part strategy, part rpg, all fun!

Pick up your copy of  the game over on The rocky waters homepage and Feel free to leave comments in Yonder topic and

The game's also free, though if you wish donations are accepted too.

Next up, some updates from an old favourite. Ever since first releasing BG cribbage in 2002, Ian Humphries has been continuing on cranking out the games, now expanding the BG series to over 30 entries. The latest of these (released just this month is BG boxes, a strategical game of lines, dots and points in which the winner is the one who can draw most boxes.
Also, note Spoonbill's two new releases from July, BG Alchemy, a game in which alchemical runes must be matched up in order to turn lead into gold, and BG Hangman, the classic neck breaking word puzzle.

Find out more about all of these games and download them On The spoonbill website, and should you have comments or thoughts Please use the topic provided

Lastly, we have a bit of android love, ---- well not in the blade runner, electric sheep sense, but rather in the sense that those using Android can now grab Feer, the recently released avoidotastic zombie audio run that's taking the Ios world by storm on the Google play store and play it on their android phones.

Find out more in This topic and don't forget whichever platform your playing on to give the game a rating in the ap store, since it really helps the developers make the game more visible, which  likely means more updates and more zombies in the future. Okay, that doesn't sound like a good thing but believe  in this instance it is!

Lastly, if Dragon village doesn't satisfy your  lust for power, remember Warsim the exceptional randomly generating kingdom management text game by Wastelander is always receiving updates.
In particular, the last update caused a major change to the game's black market, with far more things to do with your criminal empire should your forces take control, from organising your own festival to fully upgrading the market should the garrison surrender to you, as well as having more mercs to higher.
Check out This massive topic for all your warsim commenting needs, in particular post 1207 for the truly staggering changelog.

just remember all of this is only available in the full version of the game, which costs only five dollars on Itch.io.

Happy strategising, or running from zombies, or stopping peasants from starving, or hanging people for not spelling words correctly.

Hmmm, should I really be using the word "happy" in that sentence?

With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

its definitely worth a try if your a fantasy fan, though be warned, it is not easy, or at least it is not easy if you refuse to play on the easy level because you were finding it too easy and then run into problems on the normal difficulty big_smile.

Hahahaha. Perhaps the game wouldn't be a cool game if it's too easy right?
