Playtonic’s new 3D platformer Project Ukulele will be shown at EGX Rezzed. On March 14, the indie developer will be on hand to host a session called “A rare reunion: Rebirth of the 3D platformer”.

Playtonic creative director Gavin Price said:

“It was the fans of our past work who inspired the creation of Playtonic, so we’re delighted to be able to showcase our vision to them in person at EGX Rezzed – as well as a few cheeky details of our game!”

For those who missed the news earlier this month, Project Ukulele was first revealed in the latest issue of EDGE. The game is intended to be a Banjo Kazooie spiritual successor, with lots of former Rare staffers working on the project.

Serenity Forge’s new game “The King’s Bird” will be released on Wii U, the studio has confirmed.

The King’s Bird is a 2D platformer “with gameplay that seamlessly combines parkour with the ability to glide through the wind, create bursts of wind, and ultimately achieve flight with flocks of magical birds.” Players will be able “to feel the joys of flow, flight, and freedom.”

Serenity Forge is currently focusing on the PC version of The King’s Bird, but the plan is to eventually port it to Wii U. We’ll keep you updated as things progress.

Scam Kitty developer Dakko Dakko is creating a new Wii U title. Rhodri Broadbent, speaking with Eurogamer, shared the news. Specifics were not revealed.

Broadbent also discussed his “love” for Wii U and how the system “always brings a lot of new potential to gameplay, because you think about things in a different way.”

Broadbent’s words in full:

“I love it! It’s still a little joy box to me. As a developer, I’m still working on a project right now I can’t talk about now on the Wii U. It always brings a lot of new potential to gameplay, because you think about things in a different way. It’s always nice to have more control options, and more weirdness in your hardware in terms of being able to inspire new ideas in a developer. I’m sad it hasn’t reached the market it was supposed to, or I expected it to. But in terms of delivering good games I think it’s doing well.

“I’m a big fan of all crazy hardware. As a kid, and as a developer, I’ve always been interested in things that use hardware and interesting ways, and interesting hardware that brings new interesting experiences. That is the essence of gameplay for me, that fusion of the hardware and software together – when the hardware’s more quirky, the software can become so.”

MixedBag Games originally hoped to have forma.8 out last year. That didn’t happen, but the extra development time has been used wisely. MixedBag managed to give forma.8 a visual and technical overhaul over the past few months.

According to MixedBag, the team “decided to raise the bar and boost the game in every aspect, changing our technology (boring stuff) and redesigning all the backgrounds, effects and creatures from scratch (fun stuff!).” The game’s progress will be shown at GDC 2015 next week.

Our gallery below contains some screenshots showing forma.8’s change. Head on over here for MixedBag’s full blog.
