As Enter the Gungeon celebrates its 10th anniversary, its creators have some choice words for the modern roguelike: ‘We’re seeing it mutate to the version of itself that popularity obfuscates’

Enter the Gungeon celebrated its tenth anniversary earlier this month and has sold over 14 million copies. The game's creators, Dave Crooks and Adam Kidd Drucker, expressed concerns about the evolving action roguelike genre, noting a shift towards mechanics resembling slot machines and a confusion between roguelikes and roguelites. They highlighted the rarity of authentic roguelikes and mentioned the lukewarm reception of some recent titles. Dodge Roll is currently developing Enter the Gungeon 2, which aims to maintain the original's gameplay while introducing a new 3D art style.

Microsoft to retire Paint 3D, plans to remove the app from Store across Windows devices

Microsoft will officially delist the Paint 3D app from the Microsoft Store on November 4 and will no longer provide updates for it. The app, launched in 2017, struggled to gain user traction and was eventually made available only through the Microsoft Store. Users are being notified of its removal, and while they can still access it after November 4, it is recommended to explore alternative 3D modeling software.
