Testing of a preliminary prototype of objects on water and an electrical anomaly. Just two months ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would be able to do that things... Unreal Engine 5 = incredible technologies
On my lunch today I began a new settlement in Manor Lords. I could think of no better inspiration for the village name (and lord o' the manor) than Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld, which was suggested during our stream.
Llamedos is growing nicely. Even if it does seem to rain near incessantly
I added a collision with some objects to the anomaly to create an arc and affect them. I got a bunch of ideas for anomaly behavior, interaction with the hero, level design. Maybe it's similar to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but I confess, I've never played this game
Morning Folks! Yesterday I transitioned over into World Tier III in #Diablo4 Season 4, and am starting to feel confident at an attempt to complete the World Tier IV dungeon.
Also noticed that Blizzard has both a free trial available on Battle.net and has the game on sale for $35. It is also part of Gamepass now for those folks. They seem to really want folks back.
Oui, je sais. En ce moment vous jouez toutes et tous à Hades 2. Mais moi j’ai craqué pour Rotwood et son univers à base de petits monstres mignons qui se frittent avec des légumes possédés à grands coups de balle géante. Et je ne regrette rien car mettre un smash de volley dans la tronche d’un homme-courge, c’est sans prix 😌
The main idea of this is that when lightning strikes a magnetic anomaly (some areas on the surface of the planet), lightning partially breaks into several parts, from which ball lightning is created
There's a moment when all old things
Become new again
But that moment might have been here and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
So, given the kinda joke about people hating phone calls, yet using voice chat in games, I can't help wondering what people's preferences may be on chatting in games.
When you play online games, which do you lean towards when it comes to text/voice chat, or other options I didn't fit here, contextual pinging (e.g. Apex Legends), emotes, or voice/chat commands (e.g. Team Fortress 2/AoE 2)?
In 1995, Nintendo released its Virtual Boy, touted as the first console that could display stereoscopic 3D graphics. By the following year, it was all over, with the Virtual Boy dismissed as a commercial failure. Here's an extract from @arstechnica reporter/tech historian @benjedwards and Dr. Jose Zagal's new book, "Seeing Red: Nintendo's Virtual Boy," covering the development and demise of the console, and the philosophy of Gunpei Yokoi, the designer behind it.
Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖
I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.
The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗
The magazine starts with a presentation of Donkey Kong Land. One of the few games in this issue I could actually play by myself because I had a Game Boy and a friend of mine the game. 🐵
I often borrowed it from him and experienced an awesome jump 'n run with cool graphics and a challenging but fun gameplay. It was mindblowing to control the animals shown in this magazine. 🦏
Morning Folks! It took almost a year of tweaks, updates, and outright system reworks... but I feel like #Diablo4 is now in a really good place with a very fun core mechanical loop.
Yesterday Season 4 launched and this morning I talked a bit about my experiences so far.
