  • Kinesoft Development Corporation

    Kinesoft Development Corporation Formerly Name: N/A Company Profile: Developer Company Type:: Private Company Parent Company: N/A Headquarters: Great Britain Founded: 1991 Founder: Peter Sills Fate: Dissolved (2001) Kinesoft Development Corporation was a British video game development company founded by Peter Sills in 1991. Mark Achler joined the company in 1994 to serve as president. Along with Director of Technology, Andrew Glaister, Sills developed the concept which became known as Exodus, a video-game development environment for Windows 95. Andrew Glaister took this concept and developed it. Exodus caught the attention of IBM, Intel, Sega, and Microsoft. Microsoft then used the basic concepts and their relationship with Kinesoft to develop a new set of technologies called DirectX which now forms the basis of all gaming under Windows . In 1995-05-25, Kinesoft and SoftBank entered into the "Game Porting Agreement". Under the terms of that agreement, SoftBank was to provide Kinesoft with a certain number of console games to be "ported" to a PC platform; the "porting" involves translating pre-existing video games from the console platform to the personal computer platform. The games were to be published by GAMEBANK Corporation , a joint venture company established by SoftBank and Microsoft to bring console titles to Windows 95 for the Japanese marketplace by using its unique talents and tool-sets to convert existing Sega Genesis titles. In the US, some of these ports were published by Interplay . These ports were later expanded to include Nintendo and some early Sony PlayStation titles as well. Wikipedia contributors. "Kinesoft."

  • A Memoir Blue

    Microsoft Windows A Memoir Blue Personal Rating: Previous Button Release Date: Game Version: Platform: Button 2022, March 24 Main Title Microsoft Windows Next Interactive Story Button Genre Element: N/A Point-of-View: 2D/3D Camera: Fixed Player Mode: Single-player Storyline: Linear Theme: Melodrama Developer: Cloisters Interactive Button Publisher: Annapurna Interactive Button Game Engine: Unity Button Maximum Resolution: 2560x1440 Native Display Ratio: - Recommended PC Configuration: CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 RAM: 8 GB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, 6 GB HDD: 4 GB Media Support: - OS: Windows 10 64-bit DirectX: ? A Memoir Blue is an interactive story video game described by its developers as "an interactive poem". It depicts a fantastical version of swimming athlete Miriam 's childhood memories. Players progress through the story by interacting with objects in each scene and moving them around, like clicking on jellyfish that light up or stamping a train ticket. The game utilizes a mixture of 2D and 3D animations, where Miriam 's childhood memories are represented in 2D, and Miriam in present day is represented in 3D. Reception: Metacritic score:66 / 100 (PS4), 71 / 100 (PS5), 75 / 100 (XSX) Nintendo Life score: 4 / 10 The Guardian score: 4 / 5 Shacknews score: 7 / 10 Simon Parkin of The Guardian praised the game for feeling deeply personal and wrote, "...it achieves that miraculous narrative trick of making the specific feel universally approachable." Ozzie Mejia of Shacknews gave the game a 7 out of 10, lauding the game's art style, narrative, and soundtrack while noting that the story could have offered more and that puzzle design was overly simplistic. In a negative review, Stuart Gipp of Nintendo Life gave the game 4 stars out of 10 and criticized the unremarkable premise, unengaging gameplay, and lackluster story while commending its visuals. My first impression about the game could be a bit superficial after I play it at full speed . My first feeling about the game was that the gameplay is missing almost completely even for an interactive story. The player interact very little with the game only using a mouse click now and then to advance through the story which could be insufficient for a player who seek more challenge. The good part of the game is the short but moving story of Miriam , a swimming athlete whose childhood memories are depicted in a fantastical manner. And another good, if not the best side of the game is the surrounding atmosphere created with the help of the background music. Here is my personal rating for each department of the game: Gameplay: 2.5 / 5 Story: 1.7 / 5 Characters: 1 / 5 Video: 2 / 5 Audio: 3 / 5 UI: 2.2 / 5 Wikipedia contributors. "A Memoir Blue."
