By now you know I love 3D platformers, and one name rises to the top whenever I discuss upcoming games in the genre:

As a Kickstarter backer of A Hat in Time, one of the best-looking collect-a-thons in development, I got to try out the alpha a year ago, and I absolutely loved it. Even though it was just an alpha build with two levels made available to testers, it was a lot of fun and had enough content to keep me playing for hours.

Now, at last, the beta of A Hat in Time has been released to backers! Not only does it contain improvements based on the alpha test feedback, but it also features a vertical slice of the game’s content. We’ll spend much more time in Mafia Town, see a new level from the Subcon Forest (and re-visit our dear Queen Vanessa), and visit the start of the Trainwreck of Science!

I’ve already started the beta, and while Mafia Town is familiar, there are definitely some new things. I can’t wait to get even further and see more of what A Hat in Time has to offer.

As with the alpha, I’ll write up a post on my thoughts later. I also hope to upload A Hat in Time beta footage, so subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see it as soon as I post it!

New Edition of The Accidental Zombie Now Available

Update: The Accidental Zombie is no longer available from Kellan Publishing.

If you haven’t read my horror/comedy novella The Accidental Zombie yet, there’s never been a better time!

Following a few reviews that pointed out flaws with the novella, I went back through and revised it. Not only that, but the print version has been redone with a better cover (don’t worry, the cover image itself remains the same), and even a new, lower price when you buy it straight from my publisher!

You can buy the newly revised edition of The Accidental Zombie at Kellan Publishing for $0.99 (ebook) or $8.00 (print).

If you prefer Amazon to the lower price, you can also buy it there for $6.99 (ebook) or $8.00 (print).

Don’t Forget the Clive ‘N’ Wrench Kickstarter

If you enjoyed my post on upcoming 3D platformers, you were probably interested in my subsequent 3D platformer posts as well.

One of the games I discussed, Clive ‘N’ Wrench (called Clive and the Stones of the Ancient Bunnies at the time) didn’t have its Kickstarter going at the time I wrote about it, but it does now.

Clive-N-Wrench

Clive and Wrench themselves have undergone a bit of a change since we last saw them, with their character models changed slightly to make them look friendlier. We’ve also learned some new details about the world structure, such as the giant celestial clock that serves as the hub world, with doors to 10 worlds in different eras.

The game has 18 more days to make its £25,000 goal, so head on over to the Kickstarter page to learn more about it and maybe even help it out.

Meanwhile, I still don’t know anything about the eventual Fiona Frightening Kickstarter, but you can now listen to the theme song. It’s pretty awesome and has a definite Nightmare Before Christmas vibe.

What do you think about these two 3D platformers?
