X35 Earthwalker Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is basically an interactive talking simulator game developed and published by ‘Toge Productions‘. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is said to be coming out the 20th of April 2023 on the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and pc. X35 Earthwalker suspiciously is feeling a cup of green tea right now. Looks like Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly wants to have some conversations. Let’s take a look.

Coffee Talk is back! We are happy to see this for sure. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly doesn’t have a story really. It’s more like multiple stories going on. The original Coffee Talk had multiple characters and they talked about what was going on in their lives, opinions and even events happening in their world. So we believe that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly will be the same. Basically you are a barista and you serve drinks to customers in a coffee shop and maybe have a conversation with them or hear them out. It’s good to talk after all. So yeah. That’s the game.

On the surface yes it sounds lame. When X35 Earthwalker, the man himself, first discovered Coffee Talk he knew it wasn’t his type of game at all… but he knew there was something interesting and even special about this game. He gave it a try and never regretted it. Ended up writing about it and made some gameplay videos on it. Coffee Talk is an excellent game! So yeah we are excited for Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly. Of course we are. We want more! 

Let’s start with the title of the new game. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly. They added episode 2 which suggests that the developers has plans for more to come. We hope so but let’s see what episode has 2 first. Now the ‘Hibiscus & Butterfly’ part. A flower and insect. Both described as beautiful. This does give us clues on what we can expect from the characters and their talks. We hope to see more. What we can see those is new characters, new drinks and new recipes. The characters also have more and improved animations. So there’s a clear upgrade in this game over the prequel. The facial expressions are bigger and of more variety. You love to see it… YES, YOU, DO!

Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly isn’t just talking. As mentioned you serve the customers drinks. These can be fun. Customers sometimes cross paths. They meet each other, get together, or even clash. Sometimes there’s drama like arguments, family issues and obstacles. Matter of fact in the original Coffee Talk there was a moment where a werewolf literally went into his full mad mode and entered the store. You had to know what drink was needed to let’s say calm him down. So yeah we wonder if more big events will take place in Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly. Expect multiple stories and maybe some drama.

We checked out some Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly and it’s what we expected. Take one look at Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly and you will understand the whole game. You are serving drinks and listening to conversations. Now if it is a latte drink then you have the opportunity to do latte art. You can get creative with the drinks, learn new recipes by trying new ingredients or the same in different order. Check characters profiles, choose the music for your shop. Simple stuff that make a difference. The main factor of Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is the content and characters. Now of course we want to see more. This is the next big game. We know exactly what we want from this game but let’s see what the developers have got.

Overall Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly looks like a fantastic game so far. The graphics are basically the same and the graphic style. The animations are off course improved. There seems to be more scenes in the game as well. We still in Seattle too. The developers ‘Toge Productions’ have done a fantastic job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker are definitely looking forward to this game. Might grab a drink as well. Now Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly may have new drinks and characters but even together they aren’t better than… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Base One. Space station simulation

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Base One is a new space station simulator game developed by ‘PixFroze’ and published by ‘Blowfish Studios‘. Base One is said to be coming out in the second quarter of 2021 on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC. This is about to be a new type of survival. It’s cool to see a game like this. Let’s take a look.

Base One is not just a simulator game but it’s survival. It’s described as hardcore survival with RPG mechanics. So you know it’s not about to be simple. You are space explorers who want to expand and build new homes in space and far in space too. So players must build new space stations and do all kinds of management. You need to manage power, heating and off course oxygen. There’s a whole campaign as well with a story with “socio-political drama” involving special interests and the powerful. That’s not what interested us in Base One though.

  

You will need to make multiple stations and off course the more stations you have, the more responsibilities, management and… threats. That’s right, there are threats in Base One. Asteroids can come your way and collisions with them will cause serious damage. If you don’t repair and handle it then expect to lose lives and maybe the whole station. Not only is there asteroids but there’s also aliens. Aliens are here too and they come with their ships and start firing at your stations. You can build defences and things to fight back, destroy asteroids and keep people alive. Again these things cost resources. So watch out for those in Base One.

There’s even a very detailed mode in Base One where you can monitor and clearly see which part of the station is getting power, how much you have and what’s going on in just more details. This is pretty cool but for a game like this, that’s needed. We don’t know if there is indication when the aliens will attack or when they are on the way like a warning. Maybe there’s something you can build that monitors activities going on a distance from the stations. There’s a number of things that can be built so make sure to check your… menu.

We checked out some Base One gameplay and it looks very good. We like the frame rates, we like the visuals of the space, we like the designs of the station parts and the details on them. We think the aliens need to be better though. So far the game does look easy but we need more information concerning certain factors like the attacks, asteroids, types of aliens etc. A true difficult survival game was Metal Gears Survive. So if Base One wants to call itself a “hardcore survival” game then it’s entering a different genre all together. It better be difficult. We know that you have to save your home planet from a serious danger. 

Overall Base One looks like a very good game. We don’t have as much details as we wished but based on current information it’s a very good game. Plan scientific research, handle resource extraction and what you make. Just don’t forget to handle your crew. The developers ‘PixFroze’ have done a very good job with this game so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will have to listen out for anything more concerning Base One. Now Base One may have resources and serious survival but that’s not even a challenge for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Hunting Simulator 2. The hunt continues

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker

Hunting Simulator 2 is a hunting action simulation game developed by ‘Neopica‘ and published by ‘Nacon‘. Hunting Simulator 2 is said to be coming out 2021 on the Xbox Series X and PS5 but it’s already out on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC. Going out to hunt your some deer sounds like fun. Let’s take a look.

Hunting Simulator 2 is exactly what you think it is. You are literally going hunting. Heading out into the forest, walking around, crouching, hiding and looking out for animals or whatever prey you seek. That’s what this game is. Like hunting in real life though, there can be some dangers to man. For example, what if you come across a bear? Wouldn’t you know what to do? Would you be attacked? That’s for you to find out.

We have never played hunting simulator games before nor have we cared about them and the same goes for flying simulators. It’s not because we think they are bad… no, it’s simply because it’s not our type of game. We do know that in Hunting Simulator 2 you are working together with your hunting dog. Dogs… a man’s best friend they say but seriously the dog will be a very useful ally in the hunt. You must select your gear for the hunt from “the best official weapons and accessories”. In context they must mean the best hunting specific weapons and not the best weapons in the world; otherwise you would have the option of a heavy machine gun. That would make hunting interesting. 

There’s some variety to the hunting locations in Hunting Simulator 2 as there is the texan desert, Colorado and the forest of Europe, all large areas. You’re a travelling hunter by the looks of it. Your hunting dog capable of tracking your targets. Also there are types of hunting dogs, like beagle, labrador retriever and German shorthaired pointer and the type matters as they have their own hunting attributes. So there’s quite a bit of stuff to think about before heading out into the vast wild. Hey! Is that a moose over there? We eating good tonight.

We checked out some Hunting Simulator 2 gameplay and it’s what we expected. Lush environments or dry environments, forests or deserts off course. A loyal well trained dog to back you up and just enjoying the hunt. There’s 33 different animal species for players to hunt. There’s over 160 accessories, weapons and clothing items to choose from and equip. Also they are brands like kryptek, winchester, verney-carron, browning and bushnell. So hunters out there might really like this. It’s hunting, what else can we say but the fact that the frames, visuals and performance will be much better now that it is coming to the next gen consoles, especially the Xbox Series X.

Overall Hunting Simulator 2 looks like a very good game for what it is. You are going hunting. You are working with a dog to hunt down your prey. Many different weapons, items, equipment and more. Multiple locations and hopefully some dangers. You hunt. What else? The developers ‘Neopica’ have done a good job. Now hunting simulator 2 might be the real hunt but it’s a complete walk in the par for… the ‘Earth Walk!’

Police 10-13. A police simulator

Posted on by X35 Earthwalker
Police 10-13

Police 10-13 is a new simulator game developed by ‘Wingman Games’. Police 10-13 is coming out initially on PC but the developers plan to get their game on Xbox One and PS4 as well. They claim their game is in heavy development so there isn’t that much concrete information right now. Let’s take a look.

Police 10-13 is a police simulation. So this means, players will be playing as police officers and handling crime, dangerous situations and regular police work. You will be affiliated with a police department. Police 10-13 will be a single player game but also multiplayer but it has been confirmed that there is no story mode. The whole game is free roam and you can do what you want. Other branches will be made available in the future.

Police 10-13

Police 10-13 is being built using the Unreal 4 Engine so already gamers will have some high expectations in visuals and graphics. The world of Police 10-13 is set in a place called Metro. The style of this city will be North American, including things like roads and road signs and probably other things like jaywalking. The whole game is open world. 

There will be different weather in Police 10-13. They are trying to be as realistic as possible and replicate as many different situations too. so expect arresting on rainy days, hot sun, cloudy, windy and more. Hopefully they have hailstones as well… and snow. There is also a day and night cycle which players have full control over in terms of that you can set them yourself.

Police 10-13

As a police officer you can also transfer to another police department. Don’t get excited, it’s not as fun as you think. There are procedures that needs to be handled. So players will have to qualify for that department. At the police academy. That’s right, go back to school you lazy gamers and learn! We actually like this aspect of the game and definitely like to know more about how this part of the game will work. 

Let’s get to the fun stuff. The weapons and guns. There is a wide range of equipment and gear for officers. Players can expect radios, swat mirrors, handcuffs (off course), batons, flashbangs (flash em), radar guns and even breathalysers to expose those driving under influence. Have K9 units, use police boats and fly helicopters. so we got some vehicle action going on.

Police 10-13

Time for some extras. Police 10-13 will be VR (virtual reality) supported so don’t put away your Oculus rifts just yet. Police 10-13 is also fully modable. The modding community will have a field trip with this game so expect dinosaur police officers arresting Halo spartans. The developers go into detail about all the hard work they are putting in. They clearly have huge plans for this game.   

We would like to say we checked out some gameplay but all we see right now is development diaries and displays of their work like animations even. They are focusing on heavy detail from things like arresting and searching animations, to securing crime scenes, following protocols, police academy and much more. We hope they do their own things and work on not just making a simulation but something that people will also find exciting and fun. Fun is a key aspect of games which is for entertainment. We will need to see more from Police 10-13 before we can even begin to get excited about it. So far we aren’t impressed or excited.

Overall Police 10-13 looks like it will be a deep game that the developers will be adding to over time like Sea of thieves. It will be detailed but concerned when it comes to the fun aspect. It’s fine to have no story mode but there needs to be some stuff going on in this city besides people speeding. The developers ‘Wingman Games’ are working on this game. We at X35 Earthwalker hope to see more of Police 10-13. We encourage gamers to take a look at this game for yourself and if interested, keep an eye on it. Now a police simulation may be cool but it’s nothing compared to… the ‘Earth Walk!’
