Take a first look at Telltale’s Game of Thrones series with this trailer

By Will Fulton November 20, 2014

Telltale Games has shared a brief trailer for its upcoming Game of Thrones episodic adventure game. It provides an early look at some of the characters and locations that are featured in the series. It also confirms the veracity of the supposed screenshots that were leaked recently.

Familiar faces glimpsed in the trailer include Tyrion and Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, and Ramsay Bolton doing what Ramsay Bolton does best: torture. We also get a few quick glances at the Iron Throne, the Wall, and Ironrath, the ancestral seat of House Forrester, the family around whom the game’s story centers. You control five characters associated with the house, all of whose lives will intersect from all over Westeros and Essos to shape the fate of House Forrester as their surrounding countryside descends into chaos after the Starks fall from power in the north.

The first of six episodes, called Iron From Ice (the Forrester’s house words) premieres soon on iOS, PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox platforms.

I used ChatGPT to help me make my first game. Don’t make the same mistakes I did

A person typing on a laptop that is showing the ChatGPT generative AI website.

Alongside writing articles about ChatGPT, coming to terms with AI chatbot has been a major mission of mine for the past year. I've found it useful for coming up with recipe ideas from a list of ingredients, writing fun alternate history ideas, and answering board game rules clarifications. But I wanted to see if it could do something more impressive: teach me how to make a game.
The first hurdle
I've wanted to make a game for a while now. I programmed a bunch of basic Flash games when I was a kid -- if you can find my Newgrounds profile, you can have a good laugh at them -- but I've had a few ideas ticking in my mind that have calcified into thoughts that will not shift. I need to make them someday and maybe someday is now.

But knowing how to start making a game isn't easy. I didn't really know what kind of game I was trying to make, or what engine I should use, or how you actually start making a game. Until recently, I just hadn't done it. I'd downloaded Unity once, became intimidated, and uninstalled it.

Xbox’s first stream of 2024 will include Bethesda’s Indiana Jones game

Microsoft announced the first Xbox presentation of 2024 on Xbox Wire: another Developer_Direct meant to provide insight on upcoming first-party titles. Of the four games confirmed for the January 18 event so far, the most surprising of the bunch is the Indiana Jones title from MachineGames.

This Indiana Jones game was announced by MachineGames in January 2021, just prior to the completion of Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media. Bethesda Games Studios' Todd Howard is apparently a big fan of the Lucasfilm franchise and is working closely with the developers of the Wolfenstein reboot games to craft this new adventure. Bethesda has not stated much publicly about it since then, although its Xbox exclusivity came up during the FTC trial Microsoft was engaged in 2023.
