August was a month in which we started several new negotiations. In Fanatic Games, we are already planning new cooperations with clients for the last quarter of the year and the beginning of 2022. Other than that, we are continuing our long-term cooperation with our partners.

In August, we published the second part of Psychological Aspects of Designing a Videogame. There are several ways to motivate players to finish the game and this article deals with the gameplay mechanics that are designed to catch players’ attention.
August was yet another very productive month for videogames. Below, we have chosen five pieces of news we regard the most interesting.

The words of videogaming journalists often resonate with the gaming fanbase. This time though, Jason Schreier wrote something the Game of Thrones community felt. “Ah so this is why Elden Ring is actually coming out,” said Schreier regarding the information that George R. R. Martin isn’t writing the in-game text of Elden Ring.
Nintendo Switch released more than four years ago, and it is no secret that Nintendo is having a huge success with this hybrid of a console. In August, the Japanese company announced that Nintendo Switch reached over 89,04 million units sold, which is quite an impressive number.
In the twenty-year history of Fanatic Games, we have worked on dozens of projects. This month, we would like to remind you of Killzone Mercenary which arrived on PlayStation Vita on September 4, 2013, and it immediately gained positive reception for its quality as a portable-console first-person shooter.
