*i'm gripping you lovingly by the hand* hey. hey. hey. hey.

i don't shout out things a lot cause like, who cares. but this time I CARE and I WANT PEOPLE TO CARE.

so this indie game studio that i've started to become a fan of in the last year, Senscape, has a new game in the works that they're hopefully, finally, gonna be releasing soon.

Senscape, previously named Nucleosys, is responsible for two horror first person point-and-click adventure games. Scratches, released in 2006, and Serena, released in 2014. Scratches is now sadly abandonware due to legal complications, but Serena is free to play on Steam.

Scratches has you living in a house that the previous owner seemed to have just gave away freely, Serena has you exploring a cabin while you play as a man trying to remember who his wife was. they're both horrific situations that hit hard and i love them so much. they're incredible story tellers too. Serena was the first of their games that i played back when i was a teen and i never forgot about it. i later heard about Scratches early this year when a friend told me about it and showed me a video on it by civvie11, the boomer shooter lover youtuber, of all fucking people. that's when i found out they were made by the same team and how i found out they're making a new game.

the new game they're making, called ASYLUM, is a spiritual successor to Scratches. they've been developing it for 10 years and what they have so far looks terrifying and wonderful. and i don't doubt that the story is going to be amazing and it'll likely make me replay it a bunch.

my other favorite aspect of their games-they don't use any cheap jumpscares. it's all atmosphere, and the scares that do happen come at the least expected times, like a haunted house. the horror comes from the situation the game puts you in, not from something jumping out in front of your face. no random screamers, no random scary faces popping out at you. it's wonderful. it's so good and refreshing. there's not a single jumpscare in Serena, and the scares that happen in Scratches are anticipated and so well executed.

Senscape is about to release a big announcement related to ASYLUM, and literally the only thing they ask in return is for people to wishlist the game on Steam. not for any particular reason, they just think it would be cool to reach a milestone in time for their announcement. i've fallen in love with the work this team has done and i want their good efforts to be appreciated and loved so. if you like GOOD horror games, made by INDIE devs, who make GOOD COMPLICATED STORIES, and who BARELY use jumpscares, and even when they do they're WELL-EXECUTED SCARES-PLEASE. PLEASE WISHLIST ASYLUM. I WANT THEM TO DO GOOD AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT.

if you want to play Scratches, here's a download for it that includes instructions on how to make it work.

if you want to play Serena, here's the Steam page.

and here you can wishlist ASYLUM on Steam.

and here's two videos reviewing Scratches

Asylum [Full DEMO Gameplay]

[indieretronews]

[scithemodestmermaid]

I posted the trailer for my Unreal Engine walking sim.  It’s called Sionan, and its kind of like the whole Portal thing where you’re trapped with weird robots.

Honestly, it’s just a playthrough of the first minute of gameplay.  And audio proof that I included the Senscape jam theme. xD

Adapting high-rise living to the new normal

WITH the current surge in Covid-19 cases and the nationwide Full Motion Control Order (MCO), the pandemic continues to cause uncertainty.

After the initial lockout period, we have already seen several changes. For example, people rethink their hometown as they spend more time there, and this new normal reality is expected to last for years.

This raises some questions: What have we learned from our MCO experience so far? What changes can be implemented to help residents adapt to the pandemic?

Safe and flexible living in high-rise buildings

Careful planning and creative design can turn even the most humble space into a haven. In combination with a lot of greenery and common areas, the house can really be more than the sum of its parts.

“Flexible designs for amenities and common areas can encourage collaboration while still allowing for physical distancing,” said Wong.

“Remote work is now our new normal. This has led us to renew our offerings to meet changing needs, ”said Wong Siew Lee, Deputy General Manager of Gamuda Land from (Gamuda Gardens).

Wong explained that flexible designs for amenities and common areas can aid co-working while enabling physical distancing.

Another security aspect for high-rise residents is the delivery of food and parcels. Considerations for dedicated drop-off or parcel storage facilities will reduce potential health and safety risks for residents.

Gaia residences

Rooms to relax, work and play in the Gaia Residences

Gaia Residences is part of Gamuda Gardens, a carefully planned, near-natural township in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, consisting of two towers with 17 and 18 floors respectively with a total of 500 serviced apartment units with two-story shops and retail units for the residents’ convenience.

Gaia Residences is aimed at young professionals who prefer a private, work-oriented lifestyle with the opportunity to relax and socialize. So what better communal setting than a lavishly designed podium?

The podium of the project offers residents spaces to relax, work and play, while electrical outlets in the area ensure work-near-home functionality.

The infusion of green exudes calm and wellbeing, while the serene surroundings encourage interaction, creative connections, and a strong sense of community.

Events can be curated in the podium’s communal living facilities, and extensive services and amenities support residents in living a healthy lifestyle at home.

Gamuda Land’s attentive master plan also offers residents security through generous physical distancing measures with creative design of landscape elements and rearrangement of outdoor spaces and furniture.

This design approach, which emphasizes the ethos of homeliness, can also be found in the living spaces of Gaia Residences. The one to three bedroom apartments have been carefully designed with clean, practical floor plans. All bedrooms have a north-south orientation and bathrooms with a view of the inner air shafts, creating a light and airy living environment.

With the focus on flexible living in high-rise buildings, residents can customize their home by creating smaller, dedicated spaces for work and play and changing their room usage day and night.

An address in a well-planned township

Malaysians want more than just a home to live in. They want a place where they can grow up and grow old and at the same time be part of a healthy and natural community.

This is embodied in the lush, 50-acre, pet-friendly Central Park of Gamuda Gardens, which features two waterfalls and five cascading lakes.

Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the cosmopolitan vibe of city life as the 810 acre township complements its residential and commercial areas with a plethora of placemaking initiatives under the Xploria banner.

“These components have been carefully placed to maximize convenience for residents and visitors while creating a thriving, sustainable community, in line with our belief that ‘a good city is a connected city,'” said Wong.

“By planning these elements from the start, we ensure a vibrant lifestyle where everything is within reach as the township matures.”

Gardens Square is slated for launch this year.

A total of 6.7 acres of land in Gamuda Gardens is earmarked for the development of an integrated commercial center, Gardens Square, which is adjacent to the main entrance to the community and this year with two anchor tenants including a well-known grocer and a two-story drive-through restaurant .

In addition, the nearby sports arena offers tennis courts and a basketball court, as well as a covered walkway to the Gaia Residences for easy access. Residents can also use shared electric scooters or bicycles to get to Gardens Square or the nearby Waterfront Village shopping center.

In the meantime, Xploria’s leisure themes offer different activities for residents and visitors, such as horse riding and nature walks in X-scape, Adventure Playland and Paws Playland in Playscape, Big Bucket Splash and Donut Boat Rides in Waterscape as well as restaurants and wellness offers in Senscape .

Everything is within reach – for the comfort of the residents.

By placing everything within easy reach of the residents, Gamuda Land keeps its promise: “If we get the places right, the city works”.
