Laysara: Summit Kingdom, "the first mountain city-builder," sets 2024 early access release window
08.11.2023 - 20:03 / gamesradar.com
The city-builder genre has been quite active in recent years. With the sprawling, freeform builder Cities: Skylines 2 out now and the more narrative-driven city planner Frostpunk 2 still on the way, there are plenty of options for city infrastructure enthusiasts to dive into.
Another intriguing take on the city-building game is the upcoming Laysara: Summit Kingdom from the three-person dev team Quite OK Games, and it's just been announced that it'll launch into early access on PC in early 2024.
Much like other city-builders, where you have to expand your community, maintain the well-being of residents, and plan for the future, Laysara puts a more vertical spin on the concept.
Described as the "first mountain city builder" by the developer, Laysara tasks you with rebuilding the "kingdom of Laysara" after the community has been forced out of their previous home in the country's lowlands. Traveling to the high mountains, you build up your community again on mountain summits and to the mountaintops, eventually building a kingdom more incredible than the one before.
Taking place in both campaign and sandbox modes, you start by building on the lower, warmer levels of the mountain, but eventually, you'll expand up into the higher tiers of the mountain as you upgrade your communities with new facilities and needs to keep your growing kingdom stable. However, the greater you expand, the higher the risk of instability on the mountain. Along with managing weather conditions, you'll also have to contend with potential avalanches, which can tear through multiple tiers of your kingdom.
The news of the early access launch actually came just after the developer announced that the game would not make its late 2023 EA launch, which they detailed on their Steam blog. However, they stated that the early 2024 release is set and even showed some behind-the-scenes game details and progress.
Plenty of city-builders have had some interesting twists on these types of strategic building games, such as Airborne Kingdom's city in the skies. Layasara: Summit Kingdom looks to be a really neat spin on the genre again, with its focus on building up 'levels' of your kingdom, all while trying to make sure its residents have a new, thriving home in the mountains. If you want to see what it's all about ahead of time, there's a free demo you can download from Steam today.

Recycling the Universe with Space Trash Scavenger Early Access Release Trailer - Hardcore Gamer
The universe is bigger than anyone can imagine and filled with infinite riches, but that doesn’t mean the best bits are all equally easy to get to. Mankind lost a war for the Outer Reach a long, long time ago, ceding control to the aliens known as Entity, but a thousand years of peace is enough to make a corporation’s greed override its fear. Not only is the Outer Reach filled with resource-intensive planets but it’s also got the wreckage of the space war floating about, mostly untouched by time thanks to the preservative powers of the vacuum of space. That’s a loot-haul that’s hard to resist, so the ScavCorp has sent out a few agents to see what they can find.

Regulation of artificial intelligence has become a major pain point for governments worldwide. The EU passed the AI Act after months of deliberation. Yet, it faces criticism from major corporations, same with the AI executive order taken by the Biden administration, which was said not to do enough to ensure equality.

Now, former US President Barrack Obama has shared his views as a lawman on how he thinks this tricky problem can be solved.
