Originally announced as a single project, CrashGem’s new RPG “Churbles” will now be released as an episodic series.

CrashGem shared the news in a Kickstarter update yesterday, confirming plans to bring the title out “as an ongoing series of episodic games rather than one large beefy indie RPG.” Each entry will last about 4-6 hours. According to CrashGem, “Some episodes will have stand alone stories, while others, like the ‘Ghosts of War’ storyline, will tell smaller interconnected stories that weave together to form a larger, grander tale.”

The first episode of Churbles has a strong chance of landing on PC in December, followed by Linux and Mac versions. Console editions will follow “after that”, so we’re probably looking at an early 2015 launch for Churbles on Wii U.

Fit Music for Wii U arrived on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday. Unfortunately, it’s not very good.

Oxygen Media might be making things worse for themselves by astroturfing on Miiverse. At this point, many believe that the company is promoting Fit Music for Wii U in a secretive way and trying to marketing the game virally.

Check out the above comment for example. That comes from Mario Spiniello… who just so happens to be “a multimedia specialist” for Oxygen Media. There are sadly plenty of similar comments like this, most of which come from Italy – where the company is based.

I can’t see this ending well!
