SteamWorld Dig could have launched with a couple of additional worlds, but Image & Form ended up shelving them. The studio explained why this was done in an interview with Shigeru News.

Image & Form stated:

Yes, towards the end of the production we came under some pretty severe financial constraints – we were quickly going broke. Anthill wasn’t making much money for us anymore, and we had to be done with Dig by the end of June 2013; we would have run out of money if we had continued over summer. In Sweden, summer works like this: *everyone* goes on vacation in July, and we had to send the game for a time-consuming lotcheck process. The most economic way to do it was to let vacation and lotcheck coincide – and then pray that the game would sail smoothly through inspection.

It did, but that also meant that we had to race to finish the game by the end of June. And there were a couple of worlds that we didn’t have time to finish. It was sad in every way, but we couldn’t have finished it otherwise – we would have gone bust. In retrospect we may have benefited from including them, but we had no idea whether the game would be successful or not. It would have been ballsy to include the extra content and hoped for the best, but at the same time it would have been reckless beyond description. A lot of us have families, and it would have been harsh.

The next SteamWorld game, SteamWorld Heist, is due out this year. Look out for it on both Wii U and 3DS via the eShop.

It seems every two weeks Pokémon Shuffle continues to get bigger and bigger, and we’ve reached yet another milestone today – Pokémon Shuffle has reached over 3 million downloads!

Unlike the other times milestones have been announced, this one is purely informative, so no Jewels, Disruption Delays or anything of the sort this time around, folks. Sorry.

A new event stage has been added for Mega Blastoise in Pokémon Shuffle! This event is similar to the Mega Lucario event that was conducted a few weeks ago, where players could compete to be one of the top in their region for a chance at a Lucarionite that couldn’t be obtained by normal play.

Just like the Mega Lucario event, the Mega Blastoise challenge will last a week long, ending on April 13th, and will reward players a Jewel just for playing once then event is over.

When you go to Check-In, you’ll be required to download the new patch, Version 1.1.8. Once you do that, you can head on over to the Special Stages tab and try aiming for one of the top spots in your region for a Blastoisinite!

European players will compete to be one of the top 10,000, North American players have 20,000 spots to fill, and the top 50,000 in Japan will be given a Blastoisinite.

Good luck, Trainers!
