As more Palworld players reach the end of the survival game, more of them are getting stung by its steep repair costs.
Nightingale Q&A – Aaryn Flynn Talks About the Survival Game’s Future on the Eve of the Early Access Debut

Nightingale, the debut title of Canadian studio Inflexion Games, is scheduled to launch on PC early access via Steam and the Epic Games Store next Tuesday.
It's been a long road for the team founded by BioWare veteran and former General Manager Aaryn Flynn. After more than fifteen years and credits on masterpieces such as Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Dragon Age: Origins, and the first two Mass Effect installments, Flynn left in 2017 and joined Improbable in September 2018. A few months later, it was announced that he would lead Improbable's internal studio, back when the company was still trying to promote its SpatialOS technology through game development.

Back then, it was widely believed their first game would be an online RPG based on SpatialOS. However, when the team finally unveiled the project at The Game Awards 2021, a lot had changed. The game, called Nightingale, would be a shared world survival crafting title, with Flynn explaining the pivot in our interview published in early 2022. Improbable Canada became known as Inflexion Games, having been sold by Improbable to Tencent, and the studio also dropped the SpatialOS tech as it refocused on a tighter experience for smaller groups of players.
Despite all these sweeping changes, Nightingale remained squarely on our radar thanks to its distinctive Victorian Gaslamp Fae-inspired fantasy setting and unique features such as the Realm Card system. After a few delays and a transition from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, the game is now less than a handful of days from its public debut. Following a recent media presentation, we also had the opportunity to once again interview Aaryn Flynn ahead of the upcoming launch, going through the game's existing feature set and content while inquiring about what will be added throughout the early access phase.
You've confirmed there are two Fae Courts, Summer and Winter. According to traditional Fae lore, they are eternally locked in a power struggle, each faction trying to overcome the other. Is that also true in Nightingale? Will Summer and Winter ask players to help their faction against the other?
It’s great that you picked up on that. That’s certainly in the background of Nightingale’s world and story, but not something we’re exploring immediately when we launch into Early Access. We want to lay the breadcrumbs of where the story will go as we look to expand the narrative over the next year, heading into updates and, ultimately, 1.0. The Fae play a big part of that both in their relationships with humanity and each other. There’s a deep well of

Nightingale’s most innovative feature defies survival game conventions
In most survival crafting games, there’s one large world filled with multiple biomes for players to explore. That’s not the case with Nightingale. While there are procedurally generated realms to explore, players are the ones who craft them with an innovative Realm Card system. Anytime players feel like they’ve amply explored the realm they are in or feel like they need to go to a new one to gather resources, a portal must be found or built.

The sequel to acclaimed Metroidvania Ender Lilies gets PC early access release
Out of all the Nintendo Direct announcements last week, the one I was most sad to see not get a PC release date was the sequel to the much beloved Metroidvania Ender Lilies. The announcement came as a bit of a surprise, all told, and I was worried I'd have to consign it to what I've now dubbed my Unicorn Overlord pile of games that are never coming to PC. Happily, publishers Binary Haze Interactive have now confirmed that Ender Magnolia: Bloom In The Mist is, in fact, coming to PC (and other consoles) after all, and that it's coming real soon, as its PC early access release has been set for just weeks away on March 25th.
