The latest Chinese PC gaming hit is an indie game that spent the last 8 years growing into something you’ve never played before

The Scroll of Taiwu is a Chinese indie game that debuted in early access on Steam in 2018 and has recently reached its 1.0 release after eight years of development. It offers an immersive experience rooted in Chinese mythology, contrasting with the fast-paced action of many contemporary games. The game features an expansive open world where players can hone martial arts skills, manage towns, and navigate conflicts. Despite its popularity among Chinese gamers, the lack of English localization has limited its reach, but the recent full release includes ongoing English translation efforts. The game has over 5 million words in its script, making complete translation challenging. The game's publishing advisor, Leye "Yager" Yu, has invested over 1,200 hours into it and believes in its potential to attract a broader audience. The developers are focused on improving localization and addressing bugs post-launch, while Yager plans to promote the game through collaborations and word-of-mouth.

Riot delays ‘last hit indicators’ in League of Legends ranked mode after fan response: ‘We want to get more data and feedback’

Riot Games is introducing last hit indicators in League of Legends to assist new players in mastering the last hitting technique, which is crucial for earning gold. These indicators will visually show when a creep is about to die, making it easier for players to secure kills. Currently, this feature is limited to casual modes, but it is set to be introduced to normal draft and ranked play. Community responses are mixed, with some players expressing skepticism about its impact on skill levels, while others see it as a way to lower barriers for entry without affecting overall gameplay. Riot Games plans to gather more data and feedback before deciding on the feature's integration into ranked play.
