| Rusty Hearts previews Angela and Tude Posted: 08 Jul 2011 02:20 PM PDT Two of the characters of Perfect World Entertainment’s Rusty Hearts, Angela & Tude, have been revealed today. Angela, a young witch apprentice, has left her home of Rumania to visit Bramunez to look for help in a siege against Curtist Castle. She fuses her soul with an ancient, possessed blade – Graestra – which grants her powers far beyond her age and experience. She can use the Magic Sword, Graestra’s original form (which evolves as she grows in power); a hard-hitting, slow weapon with a short range that allows her to summon fire and energy. Graestra’s other form is the Magic Scythe, which is slower than the Magic Sword but with longer range attacks that make her spells more deadly and less accurate. Tude Macleod is a warrior who once was bitten by a wolf whose fang remained in his chest, ultimately turning his arm into a claw that he must hide within a gauntlet. Tude can fight with the Gauntlet, which allows him to fight at short range to punch, uppercut, and move with agility without the use of magic. Tude may also choose to use his claw, which grants him larger area of effect on his attacks, the ability to charge attacks and go into a frenzy. Perfect World Entertainment also publishes Battle of the Immortals, Jade Dynasty, and Forsaken World. Rusty Hearts Angela & Tude Screenshots: Source: The characters is Rusty Hearts have their own backgrounds, weapons, and skills that are as unique and vibrant as the game itself. Where they came from, how they got their special powers, and what motivates them in their quest against the evil armies of Lord Vlad are integral the Rusty Hearts story, and their arsenals of devastating weaponry will keep you happily hacking and slashing through dungeons for a long, long time. Allow us to introduce two character from the Rusty Hearts team. Angela, an apprentice witch with a sharp tongue and an even sharper sword, and Tude, a reluctant hero with unmatched speed and ferocity. Angela Deep in the Fog Forest of Rumania lies a small village. This village has survived for hundreds of years under the protection of the witches who are trained there. Now, in these dark times, a young witch apprentice named Angela has been sent to the city of Bramunez to aid in the siege on Curtis Castle. To gain the power she would need to survive the coming conflict, Angela fused her soul with that of Graestra, an ancient blade possessed by an evil spirit. This turned her hair fiery red and spiky, as well as granted her the sorcerous abilities of a witch many times her age. Angela is foul-mouthed and tough, but a bit naïve having been raised in a small village in the forest her entire life. Still, no one can match her powerful spells. Angela's Arsenal: Magic Sword This wicked blade is Graestra's original form, though it shifts and grows as Angela becomes more skilled with it. The Magic Sword form is hard hitting but slow and has a short range. Its real power is its effect on Angela's own magic. She can summon fire and orbs of arcane energy to blast all who stand in her way. As Angela grows in power, she can master all the elements, heal her allies and even learn some abilities Lord Vlad's own minions use against her. Magic Scythe It has been a long time since Graestra tasted blood and the thought of doing battle with the countless minions of Vlad within the halls of Curtis Castle has the spirit bound within the blade absolutely giddy. If Angela will allow it, the spirit's bloodlust will manifest in the weapon of death itself, a large and wicked scythe. Slower even than the Magic Sword form, Graestra's scythe form trades magical superiority for long range, brutal attacks. The weapon seems to have a will of its own as it leaps from Angela's hand to seek out new prey. This weapon form makes Angela's spells more violent, but less precise, and has fewer support or healing abilities. Tude Tude Macleod is a lifelong wanderer. In his travels he was attacked by a wolf. He managed to slay the beast, but not after it broke off one of its huge teeth inside his chest. Strangely, the wound healed quickly, sealing the tooth within his body. Before long, Tude discovered that the wolf's bite and its tooth were having an effect on his body. His arm turned into a wicked claw that he keeps hidden within a bulky gauntlet. He was traveling from town to town to avoid arousing suspicion when he stumbled into Bramunez on a whim. In a serious case of wrong place at the wrong time, Tude was sealed within Curtis Castle when the Golden Seal team erected the barriers to trap Vlad inside. He joins up with Frantz and Angela once they enter the main levels of Curtis Castle (although you may play as Tude from the beginning of the adventure, he doesn't make his storyline appearance until later levels). Tude's Arsenal: Gauntlet At a young age Tude learned that the only weapon you can trust completely is your own fist. Except maybe your foot, knee, elbow or any other part of you that can break a bone or bloody a nose. Since his encounter with the ancient wolf, his style of in-your-face combat has only grown more vicious. Tude's gauntlet is the fastest weapon on the Golden Seal team, able to uppercut enemies into the air and kill them twice before they hit the ground. It is an extremely short range weapon, and Tude wouldn't have it any other way. He never had the patience for all that magic stuff, anyway. In combat, he is the perfect combination of man and beast; ducking and weaving like a boxer before pouncing like a ravenous wolf. Claw After seeing what Vlad's minions are capable of, Tude has the option of choosing a weapon that more suits his animalistic tendencies. His claw sacrifices the quick and precise strikes of the gauntlet in favor of wide, reaping arcs of razor-edged death. Although slower and much bulkier than the gauntlet, the claw has the ability to charge up even its most basic attack in order to unleash a frenzy of strikes against all foes that stand in his way. As with the gauntlet, the claw abilities favor close combat strikes and charging attacks over fancy spells.

| Dream Drops announced by Gamania Posted: 08 Jul 2011 12:47 PM PDT Gamania (beanfun), publisher of Lucent Heart and Hero 108: Online, has announced another new MMORPG in the works: Dream Drops. Dream Drops is based on popular fairy tales from Europe, but with a “warped and surreal” twist: for instance, Snow White isn’t innocent, the Queen of Hearts is kinder, and Pinocchio is no weakling. One of the characters is Sophie, a Dream Painter, who is in search of true happiness by traveling through time and space – like Alice in Wonderland – to the After Dreams. Sophie’s skills transform paintings into actual abilities, while the player works at her side to help her world. More details about Dream Drops are promised soon, but for now, we have a first look at screenshots and artwork of the game. Dream Drops Screenshots & Artwork: Source: GAMANIA ANNOUNCES THE UN-FAIRY TALE MMORPG, DREAM DROPS
Unique World and Twisted Characters Revealed 07.08.2011– IRVINE, Calif. – July 8th, 2011 – Gamania Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. today announced a new Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) being developed by PlayCoo games, Dream Drops. Based on well-known fairy tales, players can get their first look at the warped and surreal world of Dream Drops with the first in a series of just-released videos. Dream Drops Sophie Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGqTHUjItNU The video reveals how players will travel into an unexpected world of fairy tales. It's not all sunshine and sparkles as players will find that the plots of these familiar stories have been thoroughly twisted. The sweetest storybook characters have changed into evil creatures beyond imagination. The official Dream Drops website and Facebook fan page are now available online, with more game details to be revealed soon. Dream Drops Global Official Website: http://www.dream-drops.com/
Dream Drops Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/DreamDropsOfficial In Dream Drops, classic fairy tales are altered and well-known characters are transformed
Following its award winning games, Lucent Heart and Divina in Taiwan and Japan, Gamania introduces the adorable online title, Dream Drops. Inspired by beloved European fairy tales, Dream Drops offers a new spin on these classic stories, settings and characters. In this new fairy tale world, Snow White's sweet innocence is only skin-deep; the Queen of Hearts isn't quite so cruel and arrogant, and the not-so-timid Pinocchio is steadily growing more and more powerful! The perverse personalities of these familiar fairy tale characters, together with their new, surprising abilities, will amaze and delight players as they help the game's heroine, Sophie, on her mission. In the first released video, Sophie travels through time and space to uncover the myth of time
Dream Drops will launch storyline videos in three parts, introducing the stories and various features from the game. In the first video, Sophie is introduced as a sentimental Dream Painter. Unwilling to become a Royal Artisan Painter, she escapes from the palace with a magical paint brush and embarks on a journey in search of true happiness. Dream Painters achieve happiness by painting beautiful scenes, but for some unknown reason, the world she depicts is in constant chaos. Determined to set things right, Sophie remembers Alice's travels through time and space to a place called After Dreams, and realizes the key to restoring her world's peace may lie there. However, before she can follow in Alice's footsteps, Sophie must prove herself by overcoming various challenges and her deep-seated fear of darkness. As she begins to fall asleep, she catches a glimpse of Alice's retreating form and follows her into the land of After Dreams. In a parallel world live the characters from fairy tales: enchanted creatures, princes and princesses, witches, wizards, and more. When she was very young, she might have visited this place, herself, after falling asleep. In this world, time is a precious resource. People who can control time and travel to different places are called Sleepwalkers. Able to freely travel to and from various story settings, they spend their time embarking on different adventures. However, in order to escape the real world and enter a new time and space, one must pass through the deepest and darkest of dreams. This is why Sleepwalkers call their destination After Dreams. In this seemingly pleasant world, danger is ever present. As a skilled Dream Painter, Sophie must travel through different fairy tales, using her skills to transform paintings into powerful attacks. The elements she produces are taken or "split" from the paintings. For example, red painted flames on the canvas are changed into a real blaze that can scare off and burn enemies. Sophie knows that she cannot find the answers she seeks alone. She must find a companion who possesses an adventurous spirit and enough bravery to help take down the monsters that cross their path. Together, they must solve the world's twisted mysteries and restore the land to its former peace. Along her journey, Sophie has a sudden sense of déjà vu. As she regains fragments of her memories, she begins to remember a time when she was truly happy. But will that be enough to make her efforts worthwhile?
