Creating Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3
“Freeze!” shouts our protagonist, J.J. Hardwell, who in exploring the titular creepy mansion finds himself in a green room which has the statement piece of “T-Rex Head in a giant jar of green liquid”. “You freeze! I’ve got a gun!” responds the tiny Dinosaur – named Dino Guard Wally – holding a pistol that is only slightly smaller than the dinosaur itself. “Oh my God you can talk.” responds J.J. and, naturally, we begin a match-3 puzzle battle between the two of them. Welcome to Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3.
Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is the world’s first “Matchroidvania”, by which we mean it is a match-3 game that also takes the “start again with new knowledge and abilities to unlock new parts of the map” element of a metroidvania. It’s also very much a comedy, which is inspired by classic survival horror games, and an RPG now I come to think about it. You know what, let’s watch the trailer together, it’s easier.
“But what about Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1 or 2, did I miss those?” Well, no, until very recently neither existed – Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1: Re-Raptored from Pedalboard Games is actually in development right now – so you’ve not missed anything. CRDM3, in the universe of the game, exists as an intriguing sequel to the critically acclaimed original Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion, and the much more divisive big swing that was Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 2. Again, neither of these exist. I’m sort of getting ahead of myself though, because what you’re probably now asking is “Chris, mate, how did this game happen then? Come on now.” Well, don’t let me tell you, let’s ask the developers!
“We’ve had a few projects that come from my love of a specific mechanic, or angle on a mechanic.” says Studio Head Xalavier Nelson Jr. “And then there is a “bit” that I can’t let go of and over time I realize those two things can co-exist in the same space.” That angle on a mechanic was something Xalavier had loved about Puzzle Quest, the tantalizing idea that with a match-3 mechanic, you could really do anything.“You could negotiate with a guard via match-3, you could lock-pick a door!” It was taking this concept and just running as far as he could with it that unlocked Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3.
“I had also, for years, wanted to make a game called Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3. When the lightbulb went off and I realised this game could be brought to life with this mechanic I really believed in? Suddenly it coalesced and something existed thanks to the talents of many people over the years.”
Here at Strange Scaffold we tend to make tightly scoped games which in turn means we can work with smaller budgets and shorter than usual development times. CRDM3 however, has a longer development history than other titles. “Like I Am Your Beast,” – Xalavier Nelson Jr, Studio Head – “this was a Strange Scaffold project that got cancelled like, two or three times.” Getting Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 up and running was not easy, with the team being told “nobody cares about match-3” during one pitch meeting. This, along with other projects like Bass Reeves Can’t Die being cancelled had left the game, and the studio itself, looking at a bit of a darker future.
The success of both El Paso, Elsewhere and I Am Your Beast, however, had begun to turn things around along with the support of publisher Frosty Pop. And what could make for a tightly scoped, shorter development cycle better than a game that had already had some work done on it? When Colin McInerney, CRDM3 Co-Lead, Content Designer and Writer, stepped into the project, “There was two years of development on three different versions of this game” so, to say there was a Task ahead of them would be an understatement.
“A bunch of that code ended up being weirdly load bearing” explained Dan Pearce, Lead Programmer and Designer, “it ended up being if I take these variables out that we’re not actually using, none of the stuff that has just been developed is going to work properly.”
Now, while at first this seemed like it could be like diving into a web, having Dan join the game after development on I Am Your Beast finished meant that you had someone who knew how everything worked! The dream of all game development! This in turn led to the rest of the team being able to navigate development at a greater speed.
The team was also incredibly fortunate that back in 2022 Background Artist Judith McCroary had already created a whole bunch of stunning artwork that was ready to populate the various rooms you can explore in the mansion. “Our inspirations then were more click-based games, in the early iterations it was more roguelite.” But they still had a solid visual identity in place, “we wanted to keep it painterly, because we already had the character artist Marianee Canales, and she had already established a lot of that look.” And when it came time to expand the idea of the Mansion as a “Resident Evil”-like exploratory space, again, Judith absolutely nailed the look everyone was imagining.
Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 was a labour of love, from a studio known for throwing a lot of passion and heart into their titles. Honestly, to tell you too much more about Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 would spoil it, so, I won’t! I will say this, however. Of all the Strange Scaffold games, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is my personal favourite.
We have put out some wonderful games, but none have encapsulated the weirdness, the humour, the confidence and the open heart that I see in the studio quite as much as CRDM3. It has the “okay, I’m gonna try one more run” addictiveness packed with laughs, a wonderful soundtrack and beautiful artwork. I doubt many would expect to feel very emotional at the end of a game called Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, but there I was on first completion – proud and overcome with emotion. I can’t think of a higher recommendation than that.

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 is “committing to the bit” so hard that it hurts. It’s a sequel to a game series that doesn’t exist, complete with lore and a fictional development team. It’s a game where match-3 is used not just for combat, but for lockpicking doors, debating robots, and swallowing a bunch of diamonds in front of a notorious gem thief so that he can’t steal them first. It is, all genre elements considered, a match-3 survival horror comedy RPG metroidvania, and it’s rad as hell.
20 years ago, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion emerged as a smash-hit genre fusion, casting fan-favorite protagonist Jack Briar in a fast-paced puzzle adventure.
8 years ago, Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 was announced on the biggest stage in gaming.
This is what happened next.

Xbox Game Camp Africa Returns for 2025
Summary
- Now in its third year, Xbox Game Camp Africa returns on December 4 with a 12-week virtual learning program spanning the entire continent.
- From game ideation to building a prototype, participating teams will receive mentorship from members of Team Xbox.
- Over 1,900 new-to-industry game creators participated in the first two Xbox Game Camps in Africa.
Xbox Game Camp is returning to Africa for its third year, continuing its mission to support and uplift game developers across the continent. In partnership with ID@Xbox’s Developer Acceleration Program (DAP), this year’s camp will offer a comprehensive, 12-week structured program designed for pre-selected professional game studios across the continent.
During the three months of camp, participants will go from game ideation, to building their own working prototype or vertical slice alongside mentors from Team Xbox, and will even have the opportunity to pitch their game to members of the ID@Xbox Developer Acceleration Program.
Previous Game Camps have already birthed brand new games. Kenyan studio Kunta Content have already made great progress with their debut title, Hiru. Members of the studio attended the first two Xbox Game Camps in Africa and after receiving mentorship from members of Team Xbox – including the head of Xbox Game Camp, Peter Zetterberg – Kunta Content has been able to reach new milestones at a pace and quality that matches their passion for storytelling.
They’ve just recently given the world a glimpse at their progress by sharing a new trailer that showcases the game’s diverse environments, taking players on a breathtaking journey across Africa’s diverse landscapes:
“We are beyond excited to finally share a glimpse of the world of Hiru,” said Dean Gichukie, CEO & Game Producer at Kunta Content, “and we are bringing the continent of Africa to life in a way that has never been seen before. This trailer is a testament to our team’s passion and the incredible support from Xbox, starting with Xbox Game Camp, allowing us to showcase the beauty of the Masai Mara, the mysteries of the Congo, and the starkness of the desert.”
We can’t wait to see what other new games come about in the latest edition.
The official kickoff of Xbox Game Camp Africa will arrive on December 4 in Cape Town, South Africa, in collaboration with Africa Games Week. To learn more about the program, and its history, please visit Microsoft Game Dev Blog.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II – A Sequel That Builds in All the Right Ways
It’s often tough to build on a formula that largely works as-is, but a short hands-off preview of Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II last week showed us that even small tweaks can feel monumental. Mechanicus II looks like an upgrade to its turned-based predecessor in all of the right ways, with some smart new additions that make its combat loop feel far more approachable to all kinds of players.
The game revolves around a single planetary conflict, a war between the Adeptus Mechanicus, a machine-worshipping cult, and the Necrons, a race of robotic skeletons that essentially woke up after millions of years and chose violence. Unlike the first Mechanicus, players can choose which faction they want to control and can switch at will between the two campaigns. The campaigns have the same core story arc, but the developer tells me there’ll be gameplay and narrative differences for each faction.
The sequel builds on Mechanicus, a meaty turn-based tactical affair where you play solely as the titular Adeptus Mechanicus faction. Here, you can take control of numerous factions, customize and upgrade their abilities, and make unique decisions that impact the outcome of the story. In Mechanicus II, the story’s conclusion also depends on player choice – the team is keeping the narrative under wraps, but does confirm that there is a canonical ending to the first game, which is the Videx ending, for those who’ve seen it.
The demo showcased a critical narrative siege seen from the perspective of both the Necrons and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Each faction has a roster of leaders, with the Mechanicus returning from the first game – but, this time around, they are all playable characters with their own unique skillsets. Their abilities can be tweaked to suit a particular playstyle – you can spec them out to deal massive damage on their own, or home in on more support-based actions that can buff your team as a whole, which looks great for supporting different approaches you may want to take.
There’s a faction spoiler coming up, so if want to go into Mechanicus II with as little information as possible, look away now!
Mechanicus II will also see other factions make an appearance in battle for the first time; our demo shows off some fiendishly powerful Space Marine allies, and we found out earlier this year that a relatively new Warhammer 40,000 faction – The Leagues of Votann – will also appear during the campaigns at some point. These groups are not playable, but they will perform smart, automatic actions in combat, either alongside you or against you.
One major change that Mechanicus II makes is within its Cognition system. Cognition points (or Dominion points, if you’re playing on the Necron side), are essentially a currency collected by your chosen faction that can be used to upgrade or unlock weapon actions or skills fire one-off attacks, or perform other useful actions in battle. Mechanicus II appears to offer much more flexibility in how you collect Cognition points – every individual unit can collect them by completing smaller objectives or taking certain actions. This change is small, but it allows for much less rigidity in how you approach a skirmish, and the units you use.
Everything looks so much nicer, too – unit models and their environments are crisp and vibrant, the maps are dynamic and can change throughout the course of the battle. There’s also a new cover system, which allows the Mechanicus units to protect themselves from oncoming fire, but these elements are destructible, which means their use is limited. It’s a nice touch that makes you consider your positioning differently to gain an edge, but it won’t last forever.
Mechanicus II looks like a promising iteration on the first title – bringing back its signature complex strategy gameplay, with thoughtful changes and additions that truly feel like the series is evolving with player choice at the forefront of its design. For new players, there’s a much more reasonable barrier to entry, and far more flexibility in how you choose to do battle. It’s an impressive direction, and one that Mechanicus fans – and Warhammer 40k enthusiasts in general – can look forward to.

New Atomfall DLC is Available Today – Do You Dare to Face the Red Strain?
Summary
- The Red Strain takes you to a new region in the Quarantine Zone – Scafell Crag.
- A deadly virus has infected the region, and it is seeping out from a secret network of underground labs and bunkers.
- There are new tools and weapons for you to discover, as well as additional skills to learn, which can transform the way you play every region of the Quarantine Zone.
The new story expansion pack for Atomfall is available from today. Called The Red Strain, it contains a wealth of new content including a top-secret location, interesting characters, powerful enemies, new skills which change the way you play, and leads which reveal new endings to the Atomfall story.
For those of you who are new to Atomfall, it is a post-apocalyptic survival-action game set in the UK. It is inspired by the real life Windscale nuclear incident which occurred in northern England in the 1950s. You embark an on adventure set in a fictionalised Quarantine Zone where you will meet a cast of eccentric characters – some trustworthy, some not. You are trying to uncover the mystery of what really happened at Windscale, decide who to trust, and earn your escape.
Can You Stop the Red Strain?
The Red Strain takes you to a new region in the Quarantine Zone – Scafell Crag. Here you will find Test Site Moriah, a secret research site built by B.A.R.D on an old missile testing facility. Nestled in the hills away from prying eyes, it has been shrouded in mystery ever since it became operational.
A deadly virus has infected the region, and it is seeping out from a secret network of underground labs and bunkers. It’s up to you to explore the sprawling area and unravel the mystery of what really happened at Test Site Moriah – and try to find a way to eliminate the Red Strain.
While investigating the site you will uncover new leads that intertwine with the Atomfall narrative and may ultimately unlock new endings. New characters will help to guide you through the mystery, while a variety of infected and mechanical enemies could bring your adventure to an untimely end.
There are also new tools and weapons for you to discover, as well as additional skills to learn along the way, which can transform the way you play every region of the Quarantine Zone.
How to Get Started in The Red Strain
Firstly, you need to find Scafell Crag… The route there can be found by exploring the Slate Mine Cave, where you will find an old B.A.R.D. lift. You may well have found this location while playing the main game through access points in both Slatten Dale and Skethermoor. The cave is home to trader, Reg Stansfield.
We don’t want to spoil too much – but when you arrive in the new area you will find yourself at an abandoned train station where a mysterious voice will speak to you over the speaker system, giving you your first Lead and directing you to Test Site Moriah. Between the station and Moriah, you will find a nearby abandoned village to explore, complete with the ruins of shops and a pub – and the surrounding area is crawling with infected soldiers, villagers, and even worse, so you need to keep your wits about you.
Your first major challenge is going to be getting access to the site from the village. The gate is heavily guarded by B.A.R.D hardware, so be sure to pack your Rewiring Tool!
Once inside you will find several top-secret research facilities to explore, each giving you an insight into what happened at the test site, and what secretive project got out of control. From here the story of the Red Strain and the mission codenamed ‘High Albion’ begin to unfold.
Be prepared to face a barrage of new threats and enemies, including an upgraded robot, complete with an induction launcher which deals incredible damage once they lock on. However, by finding (or crafting!) training stimulants you will be able to unlock vital new skills, including the ability to equip the heavy weaponry wielded by the robots found throughout the Quarantine Zone, turning their awesome firepower against your enemies.
There is far more for you to discover as you explore Test Site Moriah in search of answers and a way to escape the Quarantine Zone – but we don’t want to spoil the fun by revealing too much!
Atomfall is playable today with Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and available for purchase through the Xbox Store. The new Red Strain expansion pack is also available to buy now.

Tumble, Build and Discover Together in Lego Voyagers, Out Today
What happens when a couple of Legobricks decide to chase their dreams of exploring space? You’ll find the answer in Lego Voyagers, the next brick-based adventure from the talented team at Light Brick Studio.
Light Brick has always been inspired by the Lego brick and the limitless ways it connects us – through storytelling, creativity, and the simple joy of building. Their debut title, Lego Builder’s Journey, invited players to create with bricks. With Lego Voyagers, they’re taking things one step further: this time, you don’t just build with the bricks, you become one.
Two Bricks are Better than One
In Lego Voyagers, you’ll tumble, jump and snap together as you explore a playful universe – and because bricks are always stronger when connected, the entire experience has been designed as a cooperative adventure. Whether online or side by side in couch co-op, you and a friend will solve challenging puzzles together, combining diverse thinking and the magic of teamwork to progress.
Because Lego Voyagers is fully cooperative, the team strived to make it as easy as possible to share. That’s why the game includes a Friend’s Pass – allowing you to invite a friend for free. For Light Brick, it’s a simple extension of their belief that play is best experienced together.
A Living, Buildable Universe
The world of Lego Voyagers is built from the same selection of Lego bricks you’d find in real life (1,694,756 to be exact – the devs counted) – meaning every structure you see could, in theory, be recreated with actual physical Lego bricks. This brick-built universe encourages curiosity and creativity with every tumble and snap. There’s rarely just one solution to a puzzle, instead players are encouraged to think outside of the box, experiment with different approaches, and discover surprising new outcomes. Rather than finding one straight answer, it’s more about enjoying the kind of open-ended play that the world of the Lego brand naturally inspires.
Storytelling Without Words
One of the most unique aspects of Lego Voyagers is how it communicates. The game tells its story entirely without dialogue (human dialogue, that is). Instead, the story relies heavily on visual cues, evocative music and environmental storytelling to guide players. In Lego Voyagers, Light Brick makes a point of visually establishing ideas before they’re needed, so that when players encounter a puzzle or narrative beat, it feels familiar and fair. This careful layering keeps the experience understandable without words while still leaving plenty of room for interpretation.
Composer Henrik Lindstrand – who also scored the critically acclaimed Lego Builder’s Journey – returns once again with a handcrafted soundtrack. This time, he expands his instruments to include his childhood Casio keyboard, giving the music a nostalgic coming-of-age feel. In Lego Voyagers, Lindstand works with recurring themes or leitmotifs that follow the characters and events, giving players a sense of familiarity and helps them connect emotionally with the story.
Lego Voyagers invites players to reflect, experiment, and form their own understanding of the story. The game asks open questions about friendship, connection, and how we navigate challenges together. Light Brick hopes these comments spark conversations long after the controller is set down. What does it mean to stay connected? How do we support each other when the path ahead isn’t always clear? The team doesn’t want to dictate the answers – and the game encourages players to find their own.
Looking Ahead
Lego Voyagers is playful, heartfelt, and true to the Lego brand. It’s a game about friendship, creativity and most of all – connection – built on a brand that has been inspiring players for generations. Lego Voyagers is out now! We can’t wait for players on the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One to set out on this journey together. Grab a friend, bring your curiosity and see what happens when a couple of bricks reach for the stars.
LEGO® Voyagers
Annapurna Interactive
From the makers of LEGO® Builder’s Journey comes a new 2-player co-op adventure about friendship and play. When two friends make it their mission to rescue an abandoned spaceship, they embark on a journey beyond their wildest dreams, ultimately learning the value of being connected.
● Experience what it feels like to be a LEGO brick. Tumble, jump, snap together, and build your way through rich brick worlds.
● Unravel a poetic, non verbal narrative, set in beautiful brick built environments, supported by an atmospheric soundtrack.
● Cooperatively solve the game’s many challenges and discover how two bricks are better than one. Play locally on the same screen, or online.
● Invite a friend to join your adventure for free with the Friend’s Pass. As long as one of you owns LEGO Voyagers, you can both play the full co-op experience together.
LEGO Voyagers asks open questions about building friendships, sharing dreams, and giving space.
It reminds us that while playing and being creative is for all shapes and sizes, it’s always better when you share it with a friend.

Master the Dungeon: Essential Tips & Card Combos to Survive Hellcard on Xbox
Summary
- Hellcard is available now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
- Build winning decks and teams with these strategies and combos.
- Build winning decks and teams with these strategies and combos.
The paper foes aren’t going to slay themselves. With Hellcard now available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, thousands of players are discovering just how dangerous the Paperverse can be. If you’re finding your runs ending faster than you’d like, we’ve gathered some essential tips and card combinations to help you survive the dungeon and come out on top.
Know Your Class
Every run in Hellcard starts with a choice: Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Tinkerer, or Bruja. Each brings a unique flavor of cards that can dramatically shape your strategy.
Warrior
A battle-worn fighter who trusts muscle and blunt honesty more than clever tricks. He thrives in head-to-head clashes with the fiercest beasts, and while his swagger suggests fearlessness, his true drive is shielding his allies from harm.
Rogue
A shadow in the trees and a whisper on the wind. She favors distance, snares, and nimble footwork over brute force. Quick with a biting quip or with the coin pouch she lifted off your belt, she’s as dangerous in wit as she is with her bow.
Mage
Scholars say wielding firestorms and bending reality invites madness. Whether his sharp tongue is proof of that descent or a defense against it, who can tell? Mages live with one foot in brilliance and the other dangling over the abyss.
Tinkerer
Graduate of the same academy as the Mage, though proudly from the workshops, not the lecture halls. He champions gears, gadgets, and schematics over the “shortcuts” of spellcraft. A meticulous planner with a knack for clever constructs—and a guilty love of wordplay.
Bruja
An enigmatic spell-weaver walking the line between sacrificial blood rites and infernal pacts. Her power heals as easily as it curses, but each gift carries a shadowed cost. To cross her path is to gamble with both salvation and damnation.
Combos That Carry Runs
It’s not just about drawing strong cards—it’s about building synergies that snowball into victory. Here are a few player-favorite combos:
Stamina Surge (Warrior) Focus on executing powerful attacks to gain stamina. Once you get ten stamina, your next card is free and executes twice. A strategically picked card and moment can turn the battle.
Card Mill (Rogue & Mage): Pair Finesse with Wave Laylines to keep drawing more cards for yourself and teammates while getting free mana. A well-executed build can clear a level in one or two turns.
Hammer Time (Tinkerer): Stacking Sharp Matter for resource generation with a resource boosted attack like Hammer Time ensures you can fire off devastating attacks without running dry. As a bonus, keep buffing your team with Solidarity.
Infinite Draw and block (Bruja & Warrior): Bruja’s Wendigo draws each time you kill, Wrathstealer gives loads of block to other team members, while Warrior’s Ox doubles it. In co-op, coordination like this wins runs.
Think Positionally (and Positively!)
Unlike many deck-builders, Hellcard isn’t only about the hand you’re dealt—it’s about where enemies are placed. Sometimes the best defence is to kick a powerful enemy back so they have to waste trudging back to you. Or pull a ranged monster close, so they have to skitter back while taking hits from your team. Always prioritize threats based on distance, and use movement or control cards to reposition the battlefield in your favor.
Don’t Hoard, Adapt
It’s tempting to hold onto every powerful card you find, but Hellcard rewards adaptability. Sometimes discarding or cycling cards is the best play to find what you need. Building flexible decks with both single-target and AOE options helps you pivot when the dungeon throws a curveball. It pays to check the end boss you got for the run and adjust the deck accordingly. Each boss counters a specific strategy. Learn and master them all.
Co-Op is Your Secret Weapon
Solo runs are fun and give you total control over strategy, but Hellcard truly shines in co-op. Don’t just play your own cards—think about how your deck complements your allies’. Warriors shielding Rogues, Rogues finessing more cards for teammates, casting these cards for no cost after a couple of turns. Communication is your strongest card in multiplayer.
One Last Tip: Risk Brings Reward
Artifacts can completely change your run, but they often come with drawbacks. Don’t shy away from risks. That seemingly cursed artifact that disables your block but massively increases damage output? Your mates can still give you block while you become an unstoppable engine of destruction. The best Hellcard runs often come from daring choices that pay off big.
Hellcard is available now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Shuffle your deck, grab some friends, and dive into the abyss—you’ve got the tips, now all you need is the courage to play your hand.
HELLCARD
Skystone Games
$24.99
Hellcard is a cooperative roguelike deckbuilder that can be played in both Singleplayer and Multiplayer modes. The game takes place in the paper dungeons known from the Book of Demons, and its main mechanics revolve around deckbuilding and fast-paced tactical card battles.
What makes HELLCARD unique and different from other deck-building games is that monster placement actually matters and can be used to your advantage. Shuffle enemies on the board, altering their targets and grouping for maximum area of effect attacks. Or keeping them stunned until you get your perfect card combo ready.
Featuring a unique paper-craft pop-up book art style HELLCARD is a love letter to the RPG genre and its most influential titles from the ’90s. Not taking itself too seriously, it nonetheless manages to recreate the atmosphere of exploring stuffy dark dungeons and heroically facing the Ultimate Evil.
HELLCARD supports co-op battles with up to three heroes facing the Archdemon’s hordes. In single-player mode, you can descend into the dungeons solo or recruit computer-controlled companions. In multiplayer mode, your friends or strangers can help you battle the hordes of hell.
