The Dream Stream Lineup
Every German Let’s Player, Streamer and Gamer knows him: Germany’s most famous Twitcher, Gronkh. We are thrilled to announce that on August 14th @ 6PM CET / 9 AM PST, there will be a unique HANDYGAMES exclusive live showcase on Twitch, packed with a wide range of our indie titles and never seen before content.

You are the leader of a small resistance group in 1933’s Berlin, of ordinary people, from Jews to Catholics and Communists to Patriots who simply can’t stand aside. Your goal is to deal with small blows to the regime – dropping leaflets to spread awareness about what the Nazis are really up to among the people, painting messages on walls, sabotaging, gathering information and recruiting more followers. And all of that while staying undercover – if the regime’s forces learn about your group, the life of each member is in grave danger.
Through the Darkest of Times is a historical resistance strategy game, focusing on conveying the somber mood of the period and the very real struggles of average people living in the 3rd Reich. Historical accuracy means that your small group of resistance fighters will not change the outcome of the war, nor will you prevent all of the Nazi’s atrocities, but you can certainly do everything in your power to save as many lives as you can and oppose the fascist system wherever possible.
Sonny Featherland and Marty MacChicken, aka the “Chicken Police”, once a legendary detective-duo – now a washed-up wreck and a wannabe star-detective.

Sonny and Marty will have to face the demons of their dark past on this journey through the crooked city of CLAWVILLE… But the Chicken Police is back together!
Chicken Police – Paint it RED features a stunningly peculiar visual style with artistic photo-manipulation and lifelike 3D backgrounds.
The game convinces with a dark story and satire which recalls the mood and atmosphere inspired by classic film-noir movies of the 40’s. And like all the best noir detective stories, this one feels so gritty and desperate, that it can only be served with a side of cynical humor. Experience a carefully crafted world, a grim, sinister story, and absurd humor. All mixed up with elements of story-rich adventures and a visual novel style dialogue system, complete with a complex interrogation mechanic, detective gameplay and an ever-changing city.

Nach Beschwerden auf der gamescom nun Klartext – Lets-Plays.

Dem sonst so gutmütigen und überaus toleranten Bartträger ist auf der GC nach ein paar Anschuldigungen ein wenig der Kragen geplatzt und entsprechend aufgebracht, spricht Gronkh jetzt mal Klartext. Das Video findet ihr im Artikel.
Seit seinem Aufenthalt auf der diesjährigen gamescom musste sich der symphatische Youtuber einiges anhören und gefallen lassen. Kommentare von schlecht gelaunten Fans, die Stunden auf ihn warten mussten und letztendlich versetzt wurden, machten ihrem Ärger über verschiedenste Plattformen Luft. Doch irgendwann ist auch bei dem größten deutschen Lets Player einmal eine Grenze erreicht und so wurde gestern ein Video hochgeladen, worin er auf die Beschuldigungen eingeht und enstprechend einmal Klartext redet.
Von “Er sei zu spät zu Terminen erschienen” bis zu “Es wurde sich mehr Zeit für kleine, weinende Mädchen genommen” bekam Gronkh frustrierte Kommentare an den Kopf geworfen, die für ihn und auch für Fans des liebevollen Entertainer nur schwer zu schlucken waren.
Die Reaktion waren zum Einen seine Community, die sich gegen die Beschwerden aufbäumten und Gronkh selber, der sich in einem VLOG zu diesem Thema äußerte.
Dort erklärte er in ruhigem aber dennoch ernsten Ton, dass dieses Jahr sehr anstrengend war und erläuterte den Ablauf von solchen “Autogrammstunden” und Events. Wo er letztes Jahr noch 24/7 alles gegeben hat und am Ende halb tot ohne Trinken und Essen heim gekehrt ist, musste er dieses Jahr für ein paar kurze Augenblicke auch an sich selber denken müssen. Man wird auch nicht jünger. So wurde man zum Essen und Trinken regelrecht gezwungen, was die Termine ein wenig nach hinten geschoben hat.
Es ist erschreckend, dass es “Fans” gibt, die von ihrem Idol fordern, sich selber völlig zu vernachlässigen, nur weil man ein paar Minuten zu spät zu einem Termin kommt oder sich für besonders emotionale Zuschauer mehr Zeit nimmt, um sie zu beruhigen. Als Lösung oder Möglichkeit zur Zeitersparnis soll demnächst bei solchen Events mit einer vorgesehenen Kamera schnell das Foto geschossen und auf einer Pinnwand allen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
Ob und wie das klappen soll, ist aber noch unbekannt. Auch Gronkh positioniert sich in seinem Video mehr gegen diese Art der “Massenabfertigung” und würde sich am liebsten noch mehr Zeit für jeden einzelnen seiner Zuschauer nehmen. Doch sieht er auch ein, dass es schlichtweg nicht möglich ist, so eine riesige Masse an Leuten abzuarbeiten.
Um als Blog selber einmal seinen Senf dazu zu geben. Wir stehen geschlossen hinter dem Lets Player mit Herz und wünschen ihm viel Kraft und die Möglichkeit, mehr auf sich selber zu achten. Denn das ist das wichtigste. Gesund und munter auch nächstes Jahr für seine Fans wieder alles zu geben, so wie wir es von ihm kennen und ihn dafür lieben.
Auch was für dich?
The festival “Zilim-fest. Games of the Peoples of Russia»

Public events with games and fun for people of all ages can be successfully held not only in summer but also in winter. Last Sunday, on the territory of the geopark «Toratau» near the resort «Krasnousolsk» was held the Interregional cultural and educational festival «Zilim-fest. Games of the peoples of Russia. It was held with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. nine0003
More than 700 guests from different cities and regions of Bashkiria came to the festival: Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Kumertau, Ishimbay, Birsk and other settlements. The organizers prepared a rich program: master classes for children and adults, archery and musket shooting, fun starts, the King of the Hill game.

All day long, dancing melodies and songs in the Bashkir and Russian languages sounded from the stage, set on a large meadow in the center of the village, and the audience stomped in unison, because even the light frost that was that day did not allow to stand still.

Natalya Kostenko, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Tourism and Tourism Infrastructure Development, and Elvira Aitkulova, State Duma Deputy from Bashkortostan, spoke at the opening of the festival. They stressed the importance of preserving the cultural traditions of the region, including through the development of event tourism, and the event organized here is a vivid example of this.
The head of Tarkhan LLC, the organizer of the festival, Ildar Bikkuzin, noted that due to the development of various sports and ethnic identity, we will be able to attract even more tourists to our republic who want to get to know the culture and traditions of the multinational people of Bashkiria. nine0003

And now let’s talk to the participants of the festival. Venera and Farit Yuldashbaev are spouses from Ufa who are fond of archery. In the club «Mergen uksy» they train under the guidance of Rais Nizametdinov.
According to Venera, learning to aim was the hardest part, since accuracy is the most important thing for a shooter.
— I like that all classes are held outdoors, and in winter we train in the gym. Archery strengthens both the body and the spirit, says Venus. nine0003
She sews clothes for performances at the holidays herself, and some of the Bashkir outfits were left from her grandmothers. Even the youngest daughter joined the hobby of her parents. In January, the entire Yuldashbaev family took part in the Terra Bashkiria festival, where they took second place.

Igor Zinov came from Birsk together with members of the military history club. At the Birsk branch of the Ufa University of Science and Technology, he is the deputy dean for educational work, and his hobby is making old Russian musical instruments. Among them are the psaltery, ocarinas, flutes, horn and whistles, zhaleyka, rubel, tambourine, rattles and rattles. On many of these seemingly simple instruments, Igor Anatolyevich independently learned to play, which he demonstrated to the audience.

Olga Mokshantseva brought from the village of Voskresenskoye, in the Meleuzovsky district, knitted soft toys and charm dolls, which she learned to make while working at a local correctional school.

Funny bunnies and rabbits, as well as traditional teddy bears, are in particular demand among young customers today.

Ilgiz and Dilara Valiev are craftsmen. The head of the family is engaged in wood products, cuts various items from oak, pine, elm, beech and other species, processes them in the workshop. We have mastered the production of badges and wooden magnets, there are already more than 300 of them. Dilara, a massage therapist by profession, paints souvenirs with her daughter and comes up with new themes. For example, Cheburashki is now more popular than ever among kids, and badges with views of mountains, lakes and other sights of Bashkiria are among tourists.
It is no coincidence that the Valievs became residents of the Toratau Geopark, which gives them the right to use the logo. And in the summer of 2022, Ilgiz Valiev distinguished himself at the Spassky Fair in Yelabuga, where he was named the best artisan of the year. nine0003

Walking through the malls, one could buy not only original souvenirs, but also, of course, delicious meat products, pastries and the famous Bashkir honey. For Fanzil Sadykov, honey production has long been a family affair. Attention is drawn to containers of various capacities in the form of bears filled with fragrant honey, and photographs on the stand, where the owner of the apiary is literally covered with bees. When asked why they don’t bite you, the beekeeper answered with a smile: “You just need to know when the bees are not aggressive …” As I understand it, at that moment their belly should be filled with honey. Well, you also need to really love these hardworking insects, understand their psychology.

While we were looking at the products of the craftsmen and the products of local farmers, exciting competitions unfolded at several sites.

More than 160 amateur athletes competed in the team and individual competitions. They tried their hand and skills in shooting from the traditional Bashkir bow «Mergen uksy», in all-around competitions in the «Beige» format, in Russian amusements from the military-historical club «Birskiye Streltsy». It is noteworthy that athletes with disabilities also took part in the Mergen Uksy competition. nine0003

Lotteries and prize drawings were held among the guests. The culinary studio «Bishbarmak» presented a novelty — bishmarmak in the format of street food. The festival ended with a big dance of friendship around the fire.

Many expressed their desire to make this event an annual event with participants from other regions invited.

Already today! How AI is replacing game developers
Artificial intelligence has learned to make games. So far, these are text quests, but the army of ordinary game developers has tensed up. Artists are already ready to raise an uprising against robots. Scriptwriters and programmers are looking at artificial intelligence as a competitor. We, the players, are interested in something else. And will the games created by AI be better than those offered to us today by people? nine0003

How Dead Space was created
The release of Dead Space Remake is definitely the main event of January and the most important release of 2023. But the remake is made by other people, and the developers of the original game have nothing to do with it. We decided to take a look at the approach Visceral Games took when they created one of the best survival horror games to this day.

War Thunder is a popular project, its developers are loved in Russia and are interested in their projects.
For the mobile version of the battle royale CRSED, Gaijin acted as the publisher. The game was released on smartphones and already in advance has collected positive ratings from loyal fans of the company. But Gaijin does not deserve such advances. On the contrary, the attitude of the company towards the players deserves only censure.

Good games, we recommend! Ghost Song, Chained Echoes, Card Shark, Lootriver, Infernax
Last year was poor for major releases, but the indie scene worked like clockwork. We decided to highlight solid products from small studios and publishers that we missed.

You are not allowed! How a domestic player survived the “cancellation culture”
Russia, like the CIS countries, has gone through one of the most controversial eras — the 90s.
Time of great opportunities and terrible human terror. The time of open markets, severe shortages and, at the same time, an incredible range of all conceivable and unthinkable goods. Total lack of money and incredible enrichment. The unfolding world events have prompted the giants of the entertainment industry to plunge us into an era of chaos and total prohibition. But Western pragmatism clashed with Slavic ingenuity. nine0003

Code red! Worst Games of 2022
The previous year was disappointing in many ways, and video games are no exception.
