This 2D point-and-click adventure, conceived by the creative minds of Simon and Mike Woodroffe and developed by Adventure Soft, originally made its debut on the PC in 1993. The title influenced an entire generation of gamers and continues to be remembered as a major milestone in the history of interactive entertainment. To mark the 30th anniversary of the saga, Leonardo Interactive announces the 2024 release of Simon the Sorcerer Origins across all platforms. This prequel, made by Italian developer Smallthing Studios, tells a riveting tale of an unruly and irreverent young man thrust into a world brimming with magic.
This bold and ambitious project is driven by the passion and dedication of Massimo Calamai, Founder and Game Director of the Smallthing Studio, and Fabrizio Rizzo, Lead Game and Narrative Designer. The duo took inspiration from the iconic 90s classic to craft a fresh starting point that celebrates the series’ past, all the while embracing modern innovation.

The charity that enables gamers with disabilities to play, SpecialEffect (@SpecialEffect), is launching its One Special Day event on Friday, October 6, a day of fundraising and awareness.
This campaign, which last year saw 90 games industry companies from across the world raise over $840,000 through corporate donations, sales revenue, and fundraising events, is vital in supporting SpecialEffect’s mission to help physically disabled people all over the world to access video games.
With demand for the charity’s services continuing to rise, SpecialEffect’s Founder and CEO Mick Donegan explains the significance of the event:
“I cannot overemphasize the importance of One Special Day in enabling our work to bring the joy of video games to physically disabled people across the world. Our team is facing an ever-increasing demand for all of our services - accessibility advice, assessments, the expansion and localization of resources such as gameaccess.info, our DevKit and our Eye Gaze Games website - and the generous support of the games industry in securing the future of these life-transforming, free to access initiatives is hugely appreciated. Despite the current economic challenges, we’re looking forward to celebrating One Special Day in the company of a truly amazing and supportive industry.”
The father of one of our beneficiaries summed up the importance of ongoing support for the charity:
“The SpecialEffect team visited our disabled 21-year-old son, Liam, to help him play games virtually independently for the very first time; to have been there to see the look of joy on Liam’s face is to know why all at SpecialEffect and anyone out there who contributes their efforts and or money for the charity are simply awesome.”
Since its inception in 2016, One Special Day has raised over $2M towards the work of SpecialEffect to help people with disabilities in the UK and all over the world.
If you would like to get your company involved in One Special Day, contact Nick Streeter or Liam Lawler via the official site.

Rightfully, Beary Arms is a bullet hell rogue-lite that is about much more than collecting loot, dying and losing everything. Carefully choose enemy upgrades against your own, then plan your dungeon crawl tactfully to gun through unique factions of enemies, strategically preserving loot after death.
Confide in a special little teddy named Beary and help this lovable angel reign cuddly terror on mobs of scheming bad guys from Boo Bees to Battery Boys and Toadalee’s alike. Plot Beary’s next intergalactic dungeon crawl before launching hot lead into waves of alien slime balls. Unleash an unhinged assault across the cosmos or carefully execute a lucrative annihilation strategy.
Furry assassins can decide how their runs will go by selecting upgrades for both Beary and his nemeses at the end of each stage. Make the action sweet like honey with extra health and loot drops or crank up the heat of Beary’s weapons to really give it to his not-so-pawsome foes. Then carefully choose between health and speed boosts, more reinforcements, and other challenging enemy buffs to customize difficulty.
