Bandai Namco boldly backs God Factory: Wingmen, Deadcore
Bandai Namco will digitally distribute Deadcore and God Factory: Wingmen, two sci-fi-stylized games from independent studios 5 Bit Games and Nine Dots, respectively. Deadcore is a platformer FPS for PC with puzzle elements starring a giant tower, enemy robots, guns and a mysterious truth about the game's universe. Players must scale the tower, taking out robots and turrets to reach the top. It's due out this summer, and is in alpha now. God Factory: Wingmen is a 4-on-4 competitive space combat game for PC, Mac and Linux that Nine Dots founder Guillaume Boucher-Vidal calls a "space-sim MOBA." It fell short of a $70,000 Kickstarter goal in 2013, but had a successful run through Steam Greenlight. God Factory: Wingmen doesn't have a release date yet, but you can catch a trailer for it below.

Space sim MOBA GoD Factory: Wingmen aims to make you top gun
GoD Factory: Wingmen is a four-on-four space combat simulator for PC hoping to achieve funding through Kickstarter right now. A Steam Greenlight campaign is also underway. In development at Nine Dot Studios in Quebec, Canda, GoD Factory: Wingmen tasks players with assaulting and destroying the enemy team's carrier ship. It's "essentially a space-sim MOBA," studio founder Guillaume Boucher-Vidal says in the pitch video above, but what sets it apart from other MOBAs is the free space dogfighting and customization options. At the beginning of each match players build their carrier ship from a series of interchangeable parts and as each segment of the carrier ship is destroyed, unique penalties based around that segment are incurred. Oculus Rift is also in the cards, which Nine Dot says is a natural fit for stationary players in a space combat simulation scenario; however, the Kickstarter page notes this feature may not be available right at launch. Right now, the Kickstarter campaign has nine days to go. Currently, GoD: Factory Wingmen is near one-third of its goal on Kickstarter.
