After raising over $1.3 million on Kickstarter, developer Nightdive Studios has put its System Shock remake on hiatus, with the company putting out a statement and Polygon picking it up.

Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick explained: "I have put the team on a hiatus while we reassess our path so that we can return to our vision. We are taking a break, but not ending the project. System Shock is going to be completed and all of our promises fulfilled".

Polygon has some sources familiar with the game, and said that "mission creep" along with unrealistic ambitions saw Nightdive burn through the $1.3 million raised on Kickstarter. In an interview with the site, director of business development Larry Kuperman said that the developer had a strategy to pitch the game to publishers so that they could get more funding, but it had failed.

What was once thought to be impossible has been done, a developer known C Bel has created a 3D DOOM-like engine only using Microsoft excel formula.

According to the notes provided on the Gamasutra post, the spreadsheet engine is meant to be a DOOM-like representation, which to be fair deserves quite a lot of praise as the resemblance can very well be seen.

Contrary to popular belief, the engine currently supports a number of different functionalities, such as real-time raytracing, occlusion calculation and basic illumination rendering. Full a full breakdown on the creation C Bel has made, visit the full article here.

Google has made a big change to their image search today, they have decided to remove the 'view image' button, making all of our lives just that little bit harder.

The 'view image' button was mostly a quality of life feature, giving access to the fulll resolution of the image without having to visit the website of the user that uploaded it. Now that feature has been removed we are forced into loading the website and visiting it.

To be completely fair, the initial removal makes sense as Google would of been harassed by numerous people asking for this feature to be removed. An example of people would be photographers, publishers or anyone that wanted their image strictly on their website and not stolen.

Rare has released a new video onto the official Sea of Thieves YouTube channel, it shows a discussion with design director Mike Chapman and software engineer Topher Winward.

In the above video it was discussed that when players find an NPC in the live game they will be will realize that each NPC has their own respective back-story and personality. Overall this amazing feature will create immersion for the player as they traverse the high seas and bump into a variety of different NPCs.

NPCs will also have the ability to announce what is happening around the world in real-time, such as live campaign or a major boss fight that would include everyone. This software is not strictly for NPCs either, as it can be applied for items as well. An example of this would be if a player found a treasure map in a book and then another person finds the same book only to realize thatthe treasure map will isn't there since it has been taken.

eBay has announced that this year they will be bringing augmented reality to their website, the company is currently in development of an AR tool kit.

According to a Fortune Report, eBay will be working towards bringing AR to the consumer market as an assistant when buying items. An example of this would be if a buyer wanted to see how an item would look or fit such as a new set of tires on a car, they would be able to project that image in the desired space before purchasing.

Another addition that eBay are working on is the same principal as the tires but instead from the sellers point of view. Sellers will be able to view what packaging and box size they need to ship their specific item, this will be done by AR appearing over the item of sale until the correct size of packaging is chosen.

It looks like Huawei and ZTE will be dead in the water in the US soon, with six major US intelligence agencies warning Americans about using products and services made by Huawei and ZTE.

The new recommendations were given during the Senate Intelligence Committee, with the heads of the FBI, CIA, NSA, and the director of national intelligence all in session. FBI Director Chris Wray said the US government is "deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that don't share our values to gain positions of power inside our telecommunications networks".

Wray added that this would give "the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information. And it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage".
