Remember The Girl and the Robot? Flying Carpets Games funded the project through Kickstarter back in 2013, and a Wii U version was guaranteed. Although things have been relatively quiet surrounding it, the title has still been in the works and is now nearing completion.
Flying Carpets Games posted on Kickstarter today that The Girl and the Robot will be debuting on Steam later this summer. Consoles will come later in the year, including Wii U.
Today’s news was also accompanied by the following new trailer:

Rain Games on the reception of Teslagrad as part of an interview with Nintendo-Okie. According to the developer, they’re “very happy with Teslagrad‘s performance, the vast majority of reviews were very positive and the audience reception has been great.” It was also mentioned that the game is sitting at roughly 1.6 million copies in total, and it “sold surprisingly well” on Wii U “considering the smaller install base”.
Next up for Rain Games is the company’s brand new project World to the West. Regarding potential platforms, the studio would only tease the following:
We’re definitely aiming for a multi-platform release and it will definitely be released in the future- We’re keeping a bit mum on the subject of which platforms it will launch on first- there’s some new hardware coming up, too, so that’s exciting. who knows, maybe it’ll even release on that (sly look)
Data from industry-tracking intelligence firm Sensor Tower sent to GamesBeat indicates that Pokemon GO is currently the top-downloaded app on iPhone in the United States. It managed to reach that spot in less than five hours. Interestingly, that’s one-third of the time it took for the mobile hit Clash Royale to reach the same spot earlier this year.
Sensor Tower also says that Pokemon GO is already the fifth top-grossing iPhone app while outgrossing the Clash Royale and Clash of Clans games. Also, to compare, Miitomo’s highest position was 73 on iPhone’s top-grossing chart.
Pokemon GO is also available in Australia and New Zealand. The app is sitting at the top spot for both downloads and revenue in both countries, for those wondering.
