     American Truck Simulator devs take us on a tour of Texan offshore shipyards

It's time for more digital trucking tourism, as the devs at SCS Software have provided a fresh look at American Truck Simulator's upcoming Texas DLC with a deep dive into the exciting world of offshore shipyards. Texas is massive and to help fill out the expanded scope of this new expansion, the devs are bringing us some new industries.

There are two offshore shipyards highlighted in the new blog post. Corpus Christi specialises in such things as the "the design and deconstruction of offshore oil rigs, working with shipwrecks, and construction of other subsea and offshore structures". The Brownsville facility is "the foremost offshore shipyard in the Gulf of Mexico, and its experienced workforce is focused more on the oil rigs".

You can see the Corpus Christi shipyard above, and the Brownsville service below. American Truck Simulator's Texas DLC was announced back in March, and it still doesn't have a release date.

     Win a copy of lost FMV game American Hero, brought back to life by Ziggurat Interactive

If you've ever wanted to own a truly obscure piece of videogame history, then you're in luck. We're giving away codes for Ziggurat Interactive and Empty Clip Studios' loving restoration of the once-lost interactive movie American Hero, and you could be in with a chance of adding this unique game to your library.

American Hero, if you're not up on your lost gaming artifacts, is a full motion video (FMV) game that centres on a former American intelligence officer called Jack, who has to stop a nefarious plot involving a sinister virus being spread through the Los Angeles water supply. It was originally developed for the Atari Jaguar CD, and even had the entire film portion of the game shot, but was cancelled before it could be finished thanks to the Jaguar's less than stellar sales.

But now, Ziggurat Interactive has partnered with developer Empty Clip Studios to finish off the game using restored footage already shot nearly 30 years ago. That's no easy task – American Hero was designed for a seamless FMV experience, where your split-second decisions would instantly lead to the next branch on your chosen story path. And with plenty of decisions to make as you work your way through the fast-paced, action-heavy story, there's a lot of rapid-fire transitions to implement.

     The first Minecraft 1.18 pre-release is here

The age of the Minecraft 1.18 snapshot is over - the time of the Minecraft 1.18 pre-release has come. The 1.18 update, otherwise known as Caves and Cliffs part two, is nearly ready for release, and thus our usual weekly dollop of snapshot betas previewing new features has dried up in favour of some final bug fixes through pre-release candidates.

1.18 pre-release 1 restores amplified and large biome worlds to the Create World screen, after they'd gone missing in previous snapshots. However, cave and floating islands world types will not be restored, as the devs say they never quite supported them in the first place - consequently, this means you should see better support for amplified and large biome worlds in the future.

The pre-release also improves terrain blending yet again, and comes with a host of bug fixes that you can examine in-depth on the official site. If you're not into beta testing, what all this means is that the Minecraft 1.18 release date is coming very soon, pending the last handful of technical issues.

     Here's how to avoid the Skyrim modpocalypse

Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is here, and with it, the event that the community has taken to calling the 'modpocalypse'. An update to Skyrim Special Edition changes the game in such a way that some mods - those which directly interact with the game's code - would break. The worst of the issues have been averted thanks to early work from the community, but for now there's still work to be done. Here's what you need to know to keep your favourite Skyrim mods running.

On PC, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is a DLC upgrade for Skyrim Special Edition which includes all previously-released Creation Club content. A free update for Special Edition includes some of that content, and makes changes to the base game which render native code mods incompatible.

Skyrim Script Extender, otherwise known as SKSE and required for many mods, has already been updated to work with the Anniversary Edition update. This was the biggest concern players had regarding the incoming 'modpocalypse'. Creator Extrwi received early access to the Anniversary update from Bethesda, and published a new version of SKSE on Reddit earlier today. "Due to the large amount of manual code rewrite required for this release, the possibility for bugs is higher than usual," Extrwi says. "That said, things seem to be working better than expected."

     Destiny 2's linear fusion rifles are getting buffed in the mid-season update

Bungie has a pretty significant update lined up for December 7, the mid-point of Destiny 2's Season of the Lost. The FPS game will see its linear fusion rifles get a nice damage output bump, and a few exotics that have fallen out of favour over the course of the past several updates will get some attention as well.

Bungie design lead Chris Proctor explains that while the team has increased the damage for linear fusion rifles in the Season 14 update, other weapons are still outclassing them thanks to better ease of use. The team will be bumping the damage on linear fusion rifles in PvE up by 10% in the December 7 update to compensate for this.

That'll apply to exotics as well, but a couple of those are getting extra attention. Sleeper Simulant, the exotic Ikelos linear fusion rifle introduced in the Warmind expansion, gets an additional +6% damage buff in PvE, and its magazine will increase from three to four rounds. Arbalest is getting an intrinsic anti-barrier effect, while Lorentz Driver will lose its ability energy regeneration when you pick up a telemetry.

     Victoria 3 will make war a truly industrial affair

Victoria 3 is charting a new course in Paradox's grand strategy game space, and its wholly new vision for warfare may be among the most impactful changes on the way. In the latest dev diary, Paradox goes into some additional detail on how this new system is going to keep war interesting and challenging, without actually having you moving little unit counters around the map.

What's perhaps most fascinating about this week's dev diary is its revelations into how Victoria 3 will be treating your military. There are several key components to an army in Victoria 3, and each of them plug into other aspects of the game. Generals, for example, are political individuals who represent certain interest groups, using influence to lend clout to their chosen causes. Your armies will draw from local resources, the flow of which are governed by your infrastructure and production base.

Like other Pops, servicemen and officers work in buildings - specifically, barracks and conscription centres. These buildings produce battalions, which are Victoria 3's basic military unit, consuming resources that depend on things like your Army Model Law and the technology used in your military. Since they use the same logic as every other production facility, they'll be impacted by factors like market access and the availability of finished goods across your economy.

     Treasures Of The Aegean game Interview 1Treasures of the Aegean, the rip-roaring time loop adventure game from developer Undercoders is out today. We got to pose some questions to the studio's founder and game designer, David Jaumandreu. We spoke of the time-loop mechanic, gameplay design, and influences that apparently don't completely include Outer Wilds.

Despite the mistaken assumption, we present the interview in full, since it has some great information on what we found to be an excellent game.   PCI: Treasures of the Aegean takes a lot of clear influence from Outer Wilds.

But, undeniably, the most prominent locale on the whole map is the La Gran Caldera volcano. It's hard to miss, considering that you can see its large stature from basically every corner of the map.

This guide will provide you with some suggestions for making a hasty climb up the volcano in Forza Horizon 5.
