Remember Top Gear? No, not the television series, but the Super NES racer that was developed by Gremlin Graphics back in the early 90s. Well, Brazilian developer Aquiris Game Studio certainly remembers this classic, as well as Lamborghini, Lotus, Outrun and all the other retro racing titles. It should come as no surprise then that the studio is putting their love for 8 and 16 bit racing games to good use by developing their own title called Horizon Chase.

According to the Technical Art Director and Co-founder at Aquiris Game Studio, Amilton Diesel, the goal is to capture the fast paced gameplay, colorful visuals and responsive controls that the aforementioned retro racers had to offer. Sandro Manfredini, the Business Director at Aquiris Game Studio added that since there are no other titles on the market that could provide players with this experience the studio decided to develop their own alternative. Horizon Chase is set to offer a large number of scenarios that are inspired by real world locations and players will get to unlock new circuits, cars and upgrades while playing. Sandro also pointed out that Horizon Chase is being developed as a premium experience and not a free to play title.

Something else that will set Horizon Chase apart is the fact that the studio managed to enlist the talent of Barry Leitch for the soundtrack. He is well known for composing the original Top Gear soundtrack as well as those of other titles such as Lotus Turbo Challenge and Rush. The collaboration with Barry Leitch is definitely something that will further capture the spirit of the classic titles. For a glimpse of the game in action and to hear a snippet from the soundtrack check out the teaser video below.

Horizon Chase will be a multiplatform title with the mobile version released first, but plans for PC and consoles also in the works. Be sure to keep an eye on the Horizon Chase Tumblr to stay updated on this title.

2019 has been a great year for games and in addition to the titles that has already been released there are still a lot of upcoming ones to be excited about. September in particular looks like it is going to be leaving gamers with no spare time for anything else. However, one game that definitely should not be overlooked this September is Everreach: Project Eden by Elder Games. For those unfamiliar with Elder Games, it is an independent game development team that was founded by Ede Tarsoly and they have been around since 2007. Ede also handled most of the projects, along with external freelancers, up until 2016. It was after this that things changed, thanks to Everreach, which is their most ambitious title to date. Thanks to the size and scope of the game, the core team at Elder Games grew to five people and over a dozen external freelancers were also brought in to bring this ambitious title to life.

I Am Bread

As if creating one of the most maddeningly entertaining surgical “simulation” titles we’ve ever played wasn’t enough, the fine folks over at Bossa Studios have now turned their attention to bread. According to the developers, I Am Bread is “the beautiful story of one slice of bread's epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted.” Apparently this will involve traversing the perils of a kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom as a moving slice of bread.
