OXiAB Game Studio is working on a new indie effort for Wii U titled “Canvaleon”. The project is a stealth-platformer in which players use the environment and skills to deal with enemies and threats.
“Camouflages” is the big concept here. This function lets players mimic elements of scenery to hide from enemies. The higher your “Camo Percentage”, the lesser chance there is that enemies will detect you. Camouflages can be obtained at a store or by painting them with a paint tool. Both require the color butterflies collectible.
Screenshots plus a story over for Canvaleon are posted below.

ESRB rates Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
All signs have pointed to XSEED’s localization of Forbidden Magna, but now we have yet another clue (essentially a confirmation) hinting at an upcoming announcement. The ESRB has rated XSEED’s “Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven” for 3DS.
Here’s the full rating description:
This is a role-playing game in which players help an innkeeper assist a maiden to regain her memories. From a 3/4 over-head perspective, players explore landscapes, interact with characters, and battle fantasy creatures (e.g., dinosaur, gargoyles, robots). Players use swords, guns, and magic spells to defeat enemy creatures in turn-based combat. Battles are accompanied by mild explosions and impact sounds. One sequence depicts a character impaled by a sword. The game contains some suggestive material: a bath house sequence depicting female characters with exposed buttocks and/or partially obscured breasts; a female character scrubbing another character’s breasts; dialogue pertaining to breast size (e.g., “You really lucked out when filling out, huh” and “I wished mine were that big.”). The word “a*s” can be heard in the game.
There’s no doubt about it: that’s Forbidden Magna. Expect an official announcement in the near future!
