Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Back in 2013, Temple of Yog developer CHUDCHUD Industries made Dumpster Dive! for mobile platforms. In the studio’s own words, the game “is an endless runner through garbage, a trash surfing, food-fetching simulator.”
Dumpster Dive! is now planned for both Wii U and 3DS. CHUDCHUD Industries’ Cody Diefenthaler shared the news in a brief Twitter message, which you can find below. You can also see the original trailer in the attached tweet.
I'm gonna port Dumpster Dive! to #WiiU and #N3DS. Any #Nindies punks out there?! https://t.co/gPUrGiHWry

Temple of Yog out in North America next month, Europe in January
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Temple of Yog is launching on December 16 in North America, CHUDCHUD Industries announced today. Pricing is set at $5.99.
The European release won’t be happening on the same day, though it won’t be too far behind. It’s slated for January 7 in the region (plus Australia).
Here’s an overview of Temple of Yog:
“Recently featured as an Official Selection at the IndieCade Festival for it’s innovative use of the Wii U GamePad, CHUDCHUD Industries’ TEMPLE OF YOG is the game of human sacrifice. Players select sacrificial tributes from a primitive village and send them into an ancient temple. These tributes fight and conquer their way through procedural dungeons for glory, their inevitable death rewarding the village with prestige and progress. Tributes shift between the realms of Light and Shadow on the TV and the Wii U GamePad. A second display mode allows players to use the GamePad as a crystal ball into the other realm, leaving the tribute on the primary screen at all times. Along the way, a tribute’s sacrifice increases in rank, going from “Weak” and “Meager” all the way to “Worthy”. Defeating the guardian of each realm, along with providing a worthy sacrifice, will advance the village from a primitive culture all the way to a futuristic acropolis.”
Temple of Yog’s initial launch will contain the first in a series of content releases, broken up into “epochs”. While future content updates will be provided free to all users, the base price of the game will rise.
Here’s a breakdown of the upcoming price increases:
The First Epoch: $5.99 USD
– Age of the Wilderness
The Second Epoch: $6.99 USD
– Age of the Plow
– Age of the Fist
– PvP Online Multiplayer
The Third Epoch: $7.99 USD
– Age of the Atom
– Age of the Zealot
The Final Epoch: $9.99 USD
– Age of Ascension
CHUDCHUD Industries says that this approach to pricing “incentives early adoption, with content and features added through free updates along the way.” As for current features, those include:
– Transcend the veil between the realms of light and shadow! Gameplay shifts between the TV and the Wii U GamePad as you guide tributes through two linked worlds on separate screens
– Choose your tribute! Multiple classes with unique skills and play styles
– Procedurally generated dungeons! The Temple depths twist and reshape themselves with each new sacrifice
– GREAT BOONS! Progress your primitive village to an advanced civilization
– MINOR BOONS! Upgrade your tributes’ stats and skills and unlock new features
– Brutal boss battles, dangerous encounters, and perplexing puzzles around every corner
– Original chiptunes by Dr. Zilog
The Second Epoch for Temple of Yog is due out next spring. It’ll feature two new dungeon realms and online PvP multiplayer.

Temple of Yog interview and hands-on preview
Posted on 8 years ago by Brady(@emitremmus22) in Features, Interviews, Previews, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Temple of Yog is a game about human sacrifice, it’s a tightly controlling roguelike temple crawler, and it just might be the sleeper hit of the fall for the Wii U eShop. I had a chance to play the game and talk with lead designer Cody Diefenthaler at IndieCade Festival 2015.
Temple of Yog is, at its core, a top-down dungeon crawler with a colorful and detailed pixel art style. The controls are relatively simple – left stick to move, right stick to aim and attack. But things get interesting when you begin to encounter the multiple interconnected systems that add a tremendous amount of gameplay potential to the experience.
