Fixstars Corporation of Japan has released a free 14-day trial (at source link) of CodecSys CE-10, an H.264 Software Encoder for use with Sony's PlayStation 3.
It was first announced a few months ago, and although Fixstars' English Site doesn't have the trial available yet it is expected sometime this month.
The CE-10 software gets installed on a PC, but allows users to access the power of the PS3 via OtherOS as a way of accelerating video encoding.
Restaurant management meets roguelike. PlateUp! rewards planning over speed, systems thinking over reflexes. Build your kitchen layout between service rounds, automate what you can, and watch the complexity compound. The co-op implementation turns communication into the core mechanic. Chaotic, strategic, and endlessly replayable.
Photograph birds and clean up a Mediterranean island. Alba is short, warm, and quietly important. The wildlife catalogue drives exploration naturally. The conservation message lands because the game earns it through gameplay rather than lecturing. A family-friendly adventure that respects its audience's intelligence.
Unpack boxes across a lifetime of house moves. Every object placement tells a story without a single word of dialogue. The spatial puzzle design is deceptively precise. Where you put the diploma, the stuffed animal, the ex's gift, all communicates. Still the best wordless narrative in games.
