Epic Games is considering introducing a monthly subscription to Fortnite and is gauging interest via a player survey.
Shared by Twitter user FireMonkey, who focuses on Fortnite news and leaks, the survey asks players to indicate whether they would be willing to pay monthly for additional benefits, and which benefits they would expect.
The subscription would generally offer the Battle Pass for the current in-game seasonal events, early access to the monthly crew pack of free skins, and 1,000 V-Bucks ($8 / £6.50) per month to spend on in-game items.

Steam launched a new feature that lets developers set playtests for their games without having to send keys to players.
Simply called Steam Playtest, the tool will make playtests accessible directly from a title's store page, with developers setting it up via Steamworks.
Developers can set the number of players allowed to join the test, and when it starts and finishes. From the player's perspective, requesting access to a playtest will let them join a queue, with studios being able to give access later down the line should they wish to. Developers can also manually invite specific players.
Deleting the playtest for a game will automatically remove it from players' libraries.

Pre-orders for the Oculus Quest 2 were five times higher than Oculus Quest, according to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
In a call with investors following Facebook's financial results, Zuckerberg said that pre-orders for the new standalone VR device far outstripped Oculus Quest -- and " surpassed our expectations."
Oculus Quest 2 was announced in September, alongside news that the original Oculus Quest and Rift would both be discontinued. The device launched on October 13, and Zuckerberg's comment on pre-orders is the first time Facebook has given an official perspective on sales.
Facebook Reality labs was a common theme throughout the investor call, with Zuckerberg and his executive team talking up "big investments that we're making in our longer term AR/VR work."
Zuckerberg pointed to "ten million active [VR] units" as the next milestone Facebook wants to reach.

Facebook today announced it is getting into on-demand game streaming, but VP of Play Jason Rubin tells GamesIndustry.biz it's tackling the tech in a different way from other companies like Microsoft and Google.
First, there's the type of games that will be streamed. Unlike Xbox Game Pass or Google Stadia, Facebook isn't offering AAA or indie console and PC titles. Instead, it will let people visiting Facebook through a browser or using the Facebook app on Android to stream free-to-play mobile games.
The company is also starting its streaming effort with just five titles: Asphalt 9: Legends, PGA Tour Golf Shootout, Solitaire: Arthur's Tale, WWE Supercard, and Mobile Legends: Adventure.
That selection was chosen in part because those titles have gameplay that can accommodate a bit of latency, but Facebook intends to branch out next year into action and adventure titles, and Rubin says the long-term picture could include all types of games.

A former Microsoft software engineer from Ukraine has been sentenced to nine years in prison for stealing more than $10 million in store credit from Microsoft's online store. Ars Technica reports:From 2016 to 2018, Volodymyr Kvashuk worked for Microsoft as a tester, placing mock online orders to make sure everything was working smoothly. The software automatically prevented shipment of physical products to testers like Kvashuk. But in a crucial oversight, it didn't block the purchase of virtual gift cards. So the 26-year-old Kvashuk discovered that he could use his test account to buy real store credit and then use the credit to buy real products.
At first, Kvashuk bought an Office subscription and a couple of graphics cards. But when no one objected to those small purchases, he grew much bolder. In late 2017 and early 2018, he stole millions of dollars worth of Microsoft store credit and resold it online for bitcoin, which he then cashed out using Coinbase. US prosecutors say he netted at least $2.8 million, which he used to buy a $160,000 Tesla and a $1.6 million waterfront home (his proceeds were less than the value of the stolen credit because he had to sell at a steep discount).
Kvashuk made little effort to cover his tracks for his earliest purchases. But as his thefts got bigger, he took more precautions. He used test accounts that had been created by colleagues for later thefts. This was easy to do because the testers kept track of test account credentials in a shared online document. He used throwaway email addresses and began using a virtual private networking service. Before cashing out the bitcoins, he sent them to a mixing service in an attempt to hide their origins. Kvashuk reported the bitcoin windfall to the IRS but claimed the bitcoins had been a gift from his father.

The upcoming "Hack the Classroom: STEM Edition," Microsoft explains, "is a [3-day] free virtual event series designed for K-12 educators, parents, and guardians. The sessions will feature resources and tutorials to help educators support students in learning future-ready skills. These lessons can be easily incorporated into classroom curriculum while preparing for this year's Hour of Code event -- a global effort to teach and demystify coding, during Computer Science Education Week, December 7-13."
Microsoft has boasted that the Hour of Code enabled it to reach tens of millions of schoolchildren each year with its drag-and-drop Minecraft-themed tutorials. New for middle and high schoolers this year is the Minecraft Python Hour of Code, which presumably taps into the just-released Python Content for Minecraft: Education Edition (sample Python 101 Lesson). The Hour of Code is run by Microsoft-funded Code.org, whose Board of Directors include Microsoft President Brad Smith.

A new release of ScummVM is ready. This is a thrilling one because we are embracing adventure games as far back as 1976! That’s right, the infamous Colossal Cave Adventure, the very first Interactive Fiction game, is now supported by ScummVM.
Besides that (and about 1594 other IF games), we now added 3 more game engines and extended another 4, thus adding the following games to the supported list:
- Blazing Dragons
- Eye of the Beholder - Sega CD version
- Griffon Legend
- Interactive Fiction games
- Operation Stealth
- Police Quest: SWAT
- Prince and the Coward, English translation
- Ultima IV - Quest of the Avatar
- Ultima VI - The False Prophet
- Ultima VIII - Pagan
As you can see, we continue our exploration into the world of RPGs.
Other notable changes are: a fully rewritten MorphOS port; a new subsystem for automatic saves present in nearly every engine we support; Right-To-Left display support in our GUI; updated MT-32 emulation code and Discord Rich Presence.
We now support additional different game versions, and have noticeable improvements to Illusions, Kyra, Lab, Queen, Titanic, Xeen and ZVision engines. There is also improved support for Maniac Mansion, NES and Apple //gs versions. As usual, we continue fixing original SCI script bugs in over 30 games and added Roland D-110 soundtrack support to these games.
Of course, you can find the comprehensive Release Notes here.
Grab your copy from our downloads page, or, on Windows or macOS, let the automatic updater fetch it for you.
In addition, we will be releasing a new Android port into the Beta Channel and will need your help with testing. That would be great for us to get your feedback at the Android Port subforum.
Time to dive into a nice Interactive Fiction or fry some monsters in Ultima with a Blazing Fire, if you’re a dragon of course.

“Sorry for the wait Mr. Flores, I’m ready to take you nowâ€â€“ Grim Fandango.
Today is a special day, special in a number of ways. First of all, we hit a milestone with 19 years of ScummVM. Our first-ever public release, ScummVM version 0.0.1, happened on October 8th, 2001. And second, something else finally happened, something which has been in the talks for a long time: The ScummVM project is officially merging with the ResidualVM project.
For a long time ScummVM limited itself to 2D point-and-click adventure games, and so ResidualVM was born as a sister project to support 3D games. But from now on, there will be no more confusion about which project a game belongs to. ScummVM now embraces adventure games and RPGs, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. It is a natural step for both projects which have been developed alongside each other and cross-pollinating each other with ideas, patches and design decisions. Moreover, several developers belonged to both projects.
With this merger, ScummVM adds several games to our supported list: Grim Fandango, Escape from Monkey Island, Myst III - Exile, The Longest Journey and an unfinished engine for In Cold Blood, as well as Wintermute 3D engine.
We’re excited to embrace most of the ResidualVM team and will continue development together.
Of course, there are still more things to do and, in the coming weeks, you will see more project resources merging like forums, wikis, etc.
Stay tuned and go 3D!

Previously, AYA-NEO, the company behind the AMD-based handheld gaming PC, teased that it would make an announcement on November 7th. This announcement was geared towards the local Chinese market, opening, for a limited time, the availability of the device for that audience. More specifically, it was the Founder Edition that launched, which might differ from the consumer and international version in that it does not have detachable controllers; although we have yet to see the mass model's features. A new video was released for the occasion, giving us a closer look at the FE consumer model which details features such as the clear shell and the additional hardware buttons to call up a virtual keyboard on the touchscreen, control the RGB effects and more:
https://youtu.be/rFNoj4owut0
You can find additional spec details for the AYA-NEO from their official website linked below. The device is also slated to make its first public appearance at the WePlay gaming exhibition which takes place in Shanghai from November 14th to 15th.

Nostlan v1.19.1 is released. Nostlan is a high quality front-end launcher for video game emulators! Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows! A front-end or user interface (UI) is the presentation and interaction layer of an app or website. Most modern emulator apps have basic game list UIs that you can interact with using a mouse/keyboard but not a game controller. Nostlan looks similar to media viewers like Kaleidescape and AppleTV. You can interact with it using a mouse or game controller. Unlike other popular front-end launchers for video game emulators, Nostlan has a minimalistic design that prioritizes box art, not metadata.
Features
* unified UI for mouse/gamepad interaction
* designed for UHD displays and projectors
* checks multiple database sites for the highest quality box art
* nostalgic UI themes for each supported console
* uses individual emulators: no cores and no controller input transfer lag

* gamecube controller adapter supported with gca-js
* advanced customization: edit launch commands
* try out Nostlan in demo mode if don't have any games on your computer

DOSBox-X v0.83.7 (2020/11/01) is released. DOSBox-x is a branch of DOSBox. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.
DOSBox-X Changelog:
The primary DOSBox-X Wiki is now located at the
URL: https://dosbox-x.com/wiki (Wengier)
Implemented the x86 dynamic core for both 32-bit
and 64-bit systems by re-porting the code from SVN.
Dynamic core now supports either the dynamic_x86
or the dynamic_rec core. The dynamic_x86 core will
be used by default for x86 and x86_64 platforms and
if "core=dynamic" is set, and Windows 9x can be run
in this dynamic core (although at this time may
encounter some issue with the S3 driver). You can
also explicit specify setting "core=dynamic_x86" or
"core=dynamic_rec" for either the dynamic_x86 core
or the dynamic_rec core. Also thank joncampbell123
for the 64-bit fix. (Wengier)
You can now use your own save file (in addition to
save slots! There are now a "Use save file" toggle
item and "Browse save file..." for browsing save
files on your computer. A config option "savefile"
(in [dosbox] section) is added to specify a save
file to use at start. (Wengier)
Save state feature now allows users to optionally
enter remarks when saving a state. A submenu group
"Save/load option" is added (under "Capture") where
you can toggle menu items "No remark when saving
state" (for disabling input of remarks when saving)
and "force load state mode". A menu item "Display
state information" is added as well to display the
information of the saved state. (Wengier)
DOSBox-X will now use native dialog box to display
quit warnings and save state errors. (Wengier)
Changed some DOS error messages (such as "Illegal
command" which now reads "Bad command or filename")
similar to real DOS systems. (Wengier)
ADDKEY and INT2FDBG commands now appear as programs
on Z: drive instead of shell commands. (Wengier)
Improved the -z (move virtual drive Z function of
MOUNT command. You can move the virtual drive as
many times as you want, and save/load states will
work even after you move the Z: drive. (Wengier)
Enhanced the config option "freesizecap" to allow
the setting "fixed" which is the same as "false",
and a new setting "relative" is added, which will
be similar to the setting "fixed" but the reported
free disk size will also change relative to the
change of the free disk size ever since. (Wengier)
Added support for Opus CD-DA tracks by porting and
cleaning up the source code from other projects.
Many thanks to Marty Shepard and kcgen. (Wengier)
Support for FluidSynth MIDI Synthesizer is now
included in the MinGW builds by default just like
Visual Studio builds. Set "mididevice=fluidsynth"
and a soundfont file to use it. (Wengier)
Enabled xBRZ scaler for Visual Studio SDL2 builds
just like Visual Studio SDL1 builds. (Wengier)
Added menu item "Show Sound Blaster configuration"
under "Sound" menu to show the current information
about Sound Blaster, and also menu item "Show MIDI
device configuration" (also under "Sound" menu)
to show information about the current MIDI device
such as the soundfont file in use. (Wengier)
Added "Mount multiple disk/CD images" option to the
mounting options of the Drive menu to allow users
to mount more than one disk/CD images to a drive,
swappable from the menu. Also added separators to
the Drive submenu to make it look better. (Wengier)
Added new CPU types to the "Emulate CPU speed" menu
group namely 286-25MHz, 386DX-25MHz, 486DX4-100MHz,
486DX5-133MHz, Pentium-60MHz, Pentium-75MHz, and
Pentium-90MHz. Thanks again for the data provided
by the user maximus105. (Wengier)
You can now select a special key (e.g. Alt+Tab,
Ctrl+Break, Ctrl+Alt+Del, etc) to be sent from the
key defined in the mapper editor. The key can be
selected (Ctrl+Alt+Del by default) from the "Send
special key" menu group in "Main" menu. (Wengier)
Added full Ctrl+Break emulation at the BIOS and
DOS level, updated console emulation to match.
The "Pause" mapper shortcut is now moved to
HOST[F11/F12]+Pause instead of Ctrl+Pause so that
Ctrl+Break can work properly for users, and the
function to send the Ctrl+Break key from the menu
("Send special key" under "Main") is added. Also,
the PC-98 STOP key now functions the same as the
Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Break keys in IBM PC mode.
Added functions "CopyToClipboard" and "QuickRun" to
the mapper editor so that you can use shortcuts to
activate them (default shortcuts: HOST(F11/F12)+A
and HOST(F11/F12)+Q respectively), and a default
shortcut HOST(F11/F12)+V is added to the clipboard
paste function. Meanwhile, FullCore and SimpleCore
shortcuts are removed from the mapper. (Wengier)
Added two new menu items in the "Shared clipboard
functions" menu group under "Main", including "Copy
all text on the DOS screen" which will copy all
screen text to the clipboard, and "Stop clipboard
pasting" which allows user to stop pasting in the
middle of pasting long clipboard content. (Wengier)
The mouse copy/paste feature is now available for
non-Windows systems on SDL2 builds. Also, pasting
from the clipboard with a mapped shortcut is also
available for Linux/X11 on SDL1 builds. (Wengier)
Added "Use US keyboard layout" toggle menu item in
the "PC-98" menu group under "Video" to select
whether to force the default US keyboard layout in
PC-98 mode, same as the "pc-98 force ibm keyboard
layout" config option in [pc98] section. Also moved
the "PC-98 PIT master clock" options from the "DOS"
menu to this menu group. (Wengier)
The full dosbox-x.reference.conf file is renamed to
dosbox-x.reference.full.conf. The original file
dosbox-x.reference.conf now contains common config
options instead of all config options. (Wengier)
The CONFIG command and Configuration Tool will now
save common and modified config options by default.
The -all command-line option (or "Save all options
to the configuration file" checkbox) will force to
save all config options. A new -mod command-line
option is added to CONFIG command to save modified
config options only, and a new -norem command-line
option is added to not write remarks. (Wengier)
Updated the Windows installer to default to the
"typical" installation. For the full installation
start menu items will be added for DOSBox-X builds
copied to subdirectories. A new checkbox "Write
common config options (instead of all) to the
configuration file" is added which when checked
will only write common and modified advanced config
options to the config file. Furthermore, for both
"typical" and "full" installations the Windows
installer will now also copies the DLL files
inpout32.dll (32-bit) and inpoutx64.dll (64-bit) to
the DOSBox-X install directory for use with the
direct parallel port passthrough feature. (Wengier)
Improved Flatpak support for Linux. (rderooy)
Improved message for the -help command-line option,
adding for example -silent and -socket command-line
options in the help messages. (Wengier)
Added -silent command-line option to run DOSBox-X
silently (without showing the DOSBox-X window) and

JoyToKey v6.5 is released. This software is a keyboard emulator for joysticks. It converts joystick input into keyboard input (and mouse input).Use it when you want to control an application with joysticks that doesn't support joystick input. If you wish, you can control even Word, Excel, etc. with joysticks!
Features:
* Configuration for maximum 16 joysticks.
* Multiple configuration files
You can make many configuration files and choose it at any time.
* Support for many useful features...
o Automatic shooting of buttons
o Mouse emulation (including wheel input)
o "Adjust mouse movements" function
When it's pressed, mouse movement(or wheel rotation) becomes faster (or slower).
* "Switch to the other configuration file" function
You can switch to and activate the other configuration file with the button which is assigned to this function.
* "Use the setting of other joystick number temporarily" function
(Something like "shift" command of SNESKey. For example, you may usually use joystick1 for keyboard emulation, but during this button being pressed, joystick3's configuration (that emulates mouse or something) will temporarily be used. Note that joystick3 is not a real joystick, it's a virtual device to .)
JoyToKey v6.5 Changelog:
New feature to paste a pre-defined text to the target application
Enhancement for "Re-process when the same key continues while it's already pressed" option:
If this option is OFF, when the emulation of the same key continues (during sequence or from other buttons), that key will be only emulated once and kept hold.
For example, if a button for "SHIFT+RIGHT" and a button for "SHIFT+DOWN" are both pressed, SHIFT will be only emulated once and will be kept until both buttons are released.
If this option is ON, SHIFT key will be pressed and released for each button, i.e. pressed and released twice in total.
Minor bug fixes

QEMU v5.2.0-rc1 is released. QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. The virtualizer mode requires that both the host and guest machine use x86 compatible processors.

Haunted Lands wasn't the only game with an MS-DOS flavour, as another game has caught our attention trawling through the itch.io website, and that game is Crusader Raccoon's short platformer 'Dangerous Fen in the Vasya's Mansion'. This game that's available to download for free (Albeit in Russian), is a four small level game, stuffed with tons of enemies, secrets and traps as a PC homage to classic DOS games such as Commander Keen, Dangerous Dave and Bio Menace.

Once upon a time in the past - around the year 1994 - a software company called Adeline Software International released a game titled “Little Big Adventure†or “Relentless: Twinsen's Adventureâ€. This game, a classic pseudo-3D action adventure game with an epic story set on a fantastic planet, has now entered the testing stage in ScummVM. Please, note that a few features of the original game are not implemented yet. However, we also added a few features which are new for the game.
Features not available yet and known issues:
- The holomap is not yet available
- Changing the rendering details is not supported yet
- The credits sequence has a few rendering bugs
New features:
- An option to disable wall collision damage
- Improved UI navigation
This was all made possible by the people behind the TwinEngine project and the LBA community.
Please test the game with the latest development build and report any issues you find on our bug tracker.

As is tradition, the annual Steam Autumn Sale has kicked off. Hundreds upon thousands of games find themselves discounted in hopes of convincing gamers to add them to their ever-increasing backlog. This year, the Autumn Sale will last from November 25th to December 1st, where you can not only purchase games, but also vote for them in The Steam Awards, which will net you a Steam badge for your efforts. There are also new Fall-themed items in the recently-launched Points Shop, which lets you outfit your profile in various backgrounds and banners.

In 2019, Andrei Prykhodko (whiterandrek), a GSoC student, was working on support for the Red Comrades game series (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович).
Red Comrades is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The game's protagonists are from Dmitri Furmanov's 1923 novel Chapaev: historical Russian military figure Vasiliy Chapayev, his aide Petka, and the machine gunner, Anka.
After a long time in development, the ScummVM team is happy to announce support for the first two games in the series: Red Comrades 1: Save the Galaxy (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович спасают галактику) and Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice (Russian: Петька и Василий Иванович 2: Судный день).
So break out your copies of the games and give them a try! Unfortunately, only the original Russian Windows versions are supported. The English versions for iOS and Android use a completely different engine.
If you don’t own a copy, you can get the demo from our demos section. You will need a daily development build. As always, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker.

A total of 6.4 million VR headsets will be sold in 2020, with the VR market reaching $1.1 billion in content spending this year.
According to the latest research by market analyst firm Omdia, VR content revenue will reach $4 billion in 2025 -- 90% of which will be from games by then. The combined hardware and software value of VR will be worth $10 billion in 2025, growing from $3.2 billion in 2020.
The report highlighted an increased growth of VR in 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns. However, it pointed out that this growth was also limited by "manufacturing challenges in the first half of 2020 and the November launch of next-gen games consoles diverting gamers' attention and budget."
The household penetration of VR by the end of the year will be 1.2% across the 32 countries Omdia analysed. This number will rise to 3% in 2025, showing that there's still a long way to go before VR is massively adopted.
The launch of standalone headsets such as the Oculus Quest have broadened the appeal of VR though, the research showed. Out of the 6.4 million headsets sold this year, 3.3 million were standalone. Omdia estimated that 1.2 million units of Quest devices will be sold by the end of 2020, rising to 5.6 million units in 2025.
