Vinland : Arctic Assault

Zatobo |

Join Leif Erikson, the intrepid explorer and help guide him and his crew to the fabled lands which would one day become known as Vinland. Hand-sculpted levels provide a dramatic backdrop to his voyage of discovery, delving ever deeper into the dangers of the unknown, fighting enemies both natural and mystical. To aid in this, there are a variety of weapons and navigators that can be collected during the journey, which allow the player to customise their vessel. The challenges to be faced during this expedition, range from battling through storms and blizzards, to defeating a witch and sneaking past the spirits of the dead. Then there is the ever present threat of the ice, the frozen death which lurks ever present in the seas of the North Atlantic. If Leif is going to survive the trip to Vinland then he will have to master both these silent predators but also his own fears and doubts recounted in a dramatic series of dialogues throughout the game.

Denial of Service attacks, Google's intervention and a new update to Vinland: Arctic Assault in the works.

Posted by on

Well, we have a couple of news stories for you today. Read on for the good news, but first the bad;

An unfortunate series of events struck Zatobo.com. The nameservers for our website were hit by a series of denial of service attacks which infected a number of files with malware code fragments. While irritating, nothing was compromised or damaged, but some of you may have noticed that Google placed an advisory notice over our website as a precaution, until it was fixed. Unluckily I was away in Scandinavia at the time, so was not able to respond to this until I returned on Monday. Now everything is restored, and normal service resumes, but please let us know if you notice anything out of the ordinary in the future

(EDIT : They are down again due to more attacks. We're completely overhauling the site to make it far more secure. Should be up in early July:- just in time for the Rezzed conference!).

Now on to the better news!

We are currently hard at work on our first update for Vinland: Arctic Assault. We are developing new screens that will dramatically enhance the campaign map and also includes a major overhaul of the GUI. We are hoping to have this with you in a week or so, but in the meantime enjoy this great prototype shot of the new campaign map!
