Indie Shoot-'Em-Up 'Sturmwind' was Seven Years in the Making, but Now Dated for April

Here’s your games industry curio for the day: “Sturmwind” is an old-style shoot-’em-up that took seven years to develop and will be coming to the Sega Dreamcast at the end of April. The Dreamcast!
According to Indie Statik’s abridged history of the game, “Sturmwind” has been in development by a German indie studio named Duranik since at least 2006, when a one-level demo codenamed “Native” made its way online. “Native” was an Atari Jaguar CD game, but it was converted to the Dreamcast project now known as “Sturmwind.”
Duranik eventually struck a deal with Red Spot Games, a publisher and distributor that specializes in WiiWare, Xbox Live Indie, and Dreamcast games. After a few more mishaps -- like a disc production company going bankrupt mid-production -- “Sturmwind” will see the light of day on April 24.
Apparently, the Computers in ‘Soul Hackers’ Are Shaped like Guns

Atlus did their best to release a new gameplay trailer for “Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers” today, leading up to the game’s impending release in April. It’s hard to gussy up a complex series of menus for an action-packed trailer, but Atlus it’s a valiant effort: “Megami Tensei” devotees already know that they’re in for a fair bit of cyberpunk dungeon-crawling, first-person turn-based combat, and complex demon fusion when they step into Amami City.

'Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon' Devs Discuss Making A Third-Person Action Game
Posted 3/20/13 12:51 pm EST by Jason Cipriano in 3DS / DS, Interviews
Over the years, Nintendo has grown its catalog of games to include a wide variety of genres. From kart racing to puzzlers, the industry's longest standing hardware and software developer has just about all of the bases covered. However, there is one area that, when compared to other publishers, they come up a little short in - third person action adventure games.
Sure, there are the 3D Mario games ("64," "Sunshine," and the "Galaxy") that keep them covered to a certain extent, but those are really platformers at heart. Their best example is "Luigi's Mansion" on the GameCube, a game where Luigi hunted down ghosts and sucked them up with a vacuum cleaner. It's no "Gears of War," but it's also not not. So, what happens when you give this unique franchise to a team of internal and external developers with a range of expertise to create its first sequel? Well, "Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon," is the easy answer, but I wanted to dig a little deeper.
Last week during a video conference interview that spanned four different cities, I posed the question, "What was it like to make a third person action-adventure game, especially one staring Luigi?" to the game's Supervisor, Mr. Yoshihito Ikebata, as well as the Director of Next Level Games, Bryce Holliday. They both had different takes on the situation given their unique backgrounds.
