In the face of false advertising claims, both Gearbox and SEGA are keeping their cool. Following news earlier this week that a Californian law firm will file a class action lawsuit claiming the companies falsely advertised Aliens: Colonial Marines, both have written off the claims as without merit. In statements provided to Kotaku, both companies shrug the claims off, with varying degrees of flippancy.“SEGA cannot comment on specifics of ongoing litigation, but we are confident that the lawsuit is without merit and we will defend it vigorously,” a SEGA spokesperson said. Meanwhile, Gearbox worded their response more severely. “Attempting to wring a class action lawsuit out of a demonstration is beyond meritless. We continue to support the game, and will defend the rights of entertainers to share their works-in-progress without fear of frivolous litigation.”

I know Whisky posted a little about our very own [WPC] Hemi game Salavge. I got the opportunity to see how this is progressing (thanks Hemi). All i can say is i cant wait for more. So here is a couple of screenshots i took as a little teaser for you.
FPS SciFi Survival Horror game were you play a simple prospector that is in charge of a large spaceship salvage yard. You loot and investigate each ship in an open world were you can hop from vessel to vessel in space. All sorts of alien races use these dumping grounds to get rid of the unwanted secrets they might hide. You can board all ships and roam/float freely around the shipyard to investigate. You get rewards for the items you might find and i'm looking into a level system for the game. http://www.indiedb.com/games/salvage">http://www.indiedb.com/games/salvage
