The Falconeer News

Our friends at Rogue Sun have today launched Tin Hearts on Steam.

Step by step,
Heart to heart,
Left, right, left,
We all fall down.
Like toy soldiers.

To celebrate the launch of Tin Hearts, which last week saw an animated prequel story narrated by legend Stephen Fry, Artists Aisha Vaughan and Kieron Pepper collaborated with Black Razor Records, the indie music label founded by Wired Productions, to create a cover of iconic and classic Toy Soldiers by Martika. The devastating beautiful track perfectly encapsulates the emotion of Tin Hearts, winner of the ‘Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Game’ accolade during Gamescom 2022.

Behind every brilliant invention, hides a magical story. Guide a troop of tin soldiers through a magical toy-filled world, in this immersive narrative puzzle adventure game from members of the team that brought you Fable.

March through 40+ levels of time-bending, soldier-routing riddles, using a variety of whimsical and inventive contraptions to bounce, shoot and glide them to their goal. Forge new paths for your toys to follow, and solve increasingly elaborate puzzles to unravel the emotional, thought-provoking story of love, loss and compromise centred around the family of Albert J. Butterworth, a genius inventor of Victorian times.

Tin Hearts is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, and the Xbox family of consoles.

PCVR, Meta Quest 2 and PSVR2 are set to be released later this year.

Ivar & The Horde released the anti-war song “Broken Walls”, dedicated to raising money for the children affected by the War In Ukraine.

Leading on from the success of the Single, which amassed a total of 100,000 listeners, the brand-new “Broken Walls” Future Funk Squad Remix video is an opportunity for us to kickstart the GoFundMe campaign and to get us all to dig deep and contribute to the charity WarChild.

TURN THIS UP LOUD and watch the 'Future Funk Squad Remix' below:

Released on Black Razor Records. “Broken Walls” is the latest release from alternative rock/rap artists, Ivar & The Horde (Stu Brootal & Kieron Pepper), and draws inspiration from the war-themed arcade twin-stick shooter ‘Tiny Troopers: Global Ops’ which launched on 9th March.

The game highlights a series of military megalomaniacs from around the world, and their greed-filled desire to cause conflict and chaos.

Every contribution on the GoFundMe will receive a download code for:

Ivar & The Horde - Broken Walls Ivar & The Horde - Broken Walls (Future Funk Squad Remix)

All proceeds from the song on Bandcamp and the GoFundMe will be donated to War Child.

Please give as much as you can, because 1 in every 6 children in the world are affected by armed conflict and we can make a difference. If you can't support financially. Please, share the message and get it seen by as many people as possible.

If you would like to know more about the charity. Visit them here: WarChild.

Thank you.

Hey people,

This is a new stage in the life of Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. An evolving demo!

Lots of work went into improving the game based on the previous round of feedback and your input will be as foundational for the rest of development, so enjoy the demo and be heard. Jump on our Bulwark Discord.

I got the chance to show off some of the demo during the Mix showcase. Check it out below.

Tomas
