One line (March 14 - Monday)

The source code of Serious Sam appeared on the network, whaleo showed beautiful screenshots of Widower’s Sky, and App Annie bought the AppScotch service.

Croteam has released the source code of Serious Engine to the public. This is the engine on which Serious Sam Classic: The First Encounter and The Second Encounter were created. Why someone might need it today is a difficult question. The engine turns 15 the other day. In any case, there are not enough engines. You can download it from GitHub.

Whaleo studio has announced a fabulous adventure/puzzle/survival game (yes, that’s how they position themselves) under the name Widower’s Sky. In the game, father, son and dog explore the planet. Visually, the game vaguely resembles a mix of Monument Valley and Journey.

App Annie bought an excellent analytical service AppScotch, which allows you to monitor which advertising platforms other developers use, how much they pay for advertising and which banners they use. The amount of the deal is unknown, but in early January, App Annie raised $63 million for various acquisitions.
