• FREE HELP: Music class project
    gamedev.net
    Hey there! I realize this is a long shot, but I have a group of students composing video game music using our classroom instruments as a project. I would greatly appreciate some designers who are willing to work with us who offer kid-friendly games. Students will ask you questions about what you need, and you'll answer them. Then I imagine they would need to see the actual game in order to write for it. Let me know if you're interested!

  • Assassins Creed Shadows has a secret weapon that completely breaks the game
    www.polygon.com
    Assassins Creed Shadows has a weapon that breaks the whole idea of being a ninja, and thus the entire point of the game. With it, you can turn Naoe into an unkillable brawler that would make Yasuke hang up his sword. Its so powerful that Im pretty sure Ubisoft will remove it in a patch, so you should take advantage of it as soon as you can.The best part? You can grab this weapon in Izumi Settsu, the very first region the game starts you off in (shout-out to YouTube user JorRaptor for highlighting it). A little north of your hideout, theres a small camp called Tozukus Lair. The viewpoint in the Katano Foothills is nearby if you already have that unlocked. The camp has a few enemies to clear out first, and then you can loot the chest for a legendary tanto called Igan Sunset.Dont worry about the stats on the Igan Sunset, just look at that legendary perk engraved on it. Whenever you use the unique Escape Strike tanto ability, time will slow to a crawl. It might not sound very useful, but trust me when I say it might ruin the game for you.To use the Escape Strike ability, you need to unlock it on the tanto skill tree. The only problem is that its only available on the second tier of unlocks, which requires you to gather up enough knowledge points first. Hit up the orange icons (often hidden behind white question marks) on your map to collect these. Id aim for simple ones like Shrines, Temples, and Kofun to save yourself some time. When you have enough, use two mastery points to unlock Leap Strike, and one mastery point to unlock Escape Strike.Congratulations, youre now effectively immortal. When you enter combat with your tanto out, you can hold R1 or R2 (right bumper or right trigger on Xbox) and press circle (B on Xbox) to dodge backwards and trigger slow-mo. If an enemy tries to attack you, you can simply step out of the way and do another Escape Strike. And because you can also Leap Strike which requires the same button combination while you hold your analog stick in a direction you can freely ping-pong between enemies until theyre dead.Im pretty sure if the Assassins knew about this technique, their long war with the Templars wouldve been over quick. Be warned, though: Those cursed with this knowledge will find it really hard to patiently sneak around as Naoe when you know you cant be touched in a fight. I havent finished the game, but I have yet to find anything that can actually hurt me during it. Just be sure to upgrade your hideouts Forge so you can engrave the Igan Sunsets perk onto better tantos.This is the kind of tactic Id probably recommend avoiding until youre ready to fully trivialize the whole game, or if you really like playing Yasuke as the primary brawler of the two. Part of the fun of playing Naoe is methodically clearing out a camp until only the big enemies remain and you can pounce on them from the shadows. Ive only brought out the tanto when things go awry, but I wont judge you for wanting to speed up Naoes revenge story with a little time magic.

  • The ambitious Riddick trilogy one-upped the Hollywood trends it followed
    www.polygon.com
    You could chart a brief window of Hollywood history using only the Riddick franchise. The bizarre Vin Diesel-led sci-fi franchise has gone from low-budget slasher to opulent blockbuster and back, all in the course of just three movies. And while that alone would be reason enough to check out the trilogy of Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Riddick before they leave Prime Video on April 1, the added bonus is that all three movies are actually pretty good in their own ways.The original Riddick movie, Pitch Black, felt both familiar and like a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2000. Set in a totally original sci-fi universe, the movie takes place almost entirely on a sparse desert planet, where a prison ship has crash-landed. Everyone on the ship may be at least a little dangerous, but the notorious prisoner Richard B. Riddick (Diesel), held in maximum security, is by far the scariest of the bunch. But when the surviving passengers find out that the planet gets overrun by monsters when its dark, even Riddick has to cooperate to survive.On the one hand, the inspiration from the Alien series (particularly Alien 3) is obvious the crash-landing, the mismatched group of people, and the sense of alien danger lurking around every corner. On the other, the sci-fi world around the action feels lived-in, with carefully crafted spaceship sets that feel like portals into a full-fledged franchise that the movie is too cool to fully let us in on. Meanwhile, the characters are surprisingly well drawn, particularly given their doomed fate, and the filmmaking and special effects turn the deserts of Australia into a convincing alien wasteland filled with horrifying monsters.Pitch Black feels like an almost perfect midpoint between the Hollywood of the 1990s and the Hollywood of the 2000s. Its clearly running on the indie spirit of the 90s, but with a little bit of studio money behind it. In addition to Alien 3, Pitch Black feels like a stew made from all the different kinds of sci-fi the 90s had to offer: The antihero Riddick saving the day brings out shades of T2, the haunted sets cant help but echo Event Horizon, and even the movies monsters feel evocative of Jurassic Park in their own way. The whole thing feels like pieces of movies from the previous decade cobbled together into something surprisingly fresh. But even with all these influences, its still a far cry from the money that made the 2000s sci-fi blockbuster boom happen a trend the sequel would find itself the perfect poster child for.While Pitch Black was originally intended to be more of an ensemble movie, its easy to see how Riddick became the breakout star character. He feels exceptionally well realized from the very first moments, like a pulp comic book character whos existed for decades finally getting his own film. He feels like a character with history, stories, grudges, and kills he can explain with a particularly brutal code even if the movie never even gestures at any of that. Most of this is thanks to Diesels performance, as well as the way hes shot in the film. Rather than the quiet brooding hes often done on screen, Diesels Riddick performance feels constantly on the edge of action. Hes always lurking in scenes, scanning the rooms hes in or the fears of the people around him. Diesel makes him feel like a constant threat, which is fascinating to watch.But just because Riddick is a great character, it doesnt necessarily mean the movies guaranteed a sequel (at least not until we get a little further into the 2000s, and movies like Underworld and Resident Evil start to become box-office hits). Suddenly, taking a big swing on the Riddick universe doesnt sound like such an out-there idea, and thats exactly what happened with 2004s Chronicles of Riddick.A complete and total departure from the movie that came before it, this movie is a top-to-bottom sci-fi blockbuster about Riddick taking on a space army called the Necromongers. Its got space-opera vibes, a tie-in novels worth of proper nouns, and a tremendously overcomplicated plot that feels impossible to remember even a few minutes after the credits roll. And yet, its pretty great. Diesel is still captivating as Riddick, and the prisoner-turned-hero archetype expands surprisingly well into the savior of the galaxy.Sadly for us, however, Chronicles of Riddick, and just about every other movie like it, flopped at the box office, and gave way to the superhero and franchise IP boom that Hollywoods only just starting to emerge from. Despite the previous movies flop, though, in Hollywoods eyes, Riddick was an IP, and that was all that mattered, which is exactly how Vin Diesel convinced studios to give him and series writer/director David Twohy another movie in 2013.Riddick is probably the least interesting of the three movies, but that too feels like a product of its time more than anything else. Like 2010s Predators, or any number of movies that were released in the wake of The Dark Knight, the apparent goal of Riddick was to be edgy, grounded, and realistic. So, despite the fact that Riddick fought an army of space marines in the previous entry, Riddick sends him back to a remote planet to survive hordes of aliens who want to hunt him and the people hes with. Its a sort of semi-remake of Pitch Black, but also a sequel.But Riddick succeeds where most of its contemporaries fail by virtue once again of Diesels performance, as well as Twohys direction. While Dominic Toretto may be Diesels most popular character, Richard B. Riddick is still the part he seems born to play. Its a character entirely built out of strange mannerisms, bizarre facial expressions, and a surprisingly big heart beneath an exterior that seems poised to kill everyone in the room at a moments notice. Riddick tells jokes in a way that feels dangerous to laugh at, and with 13 years experience playing the character, Diesel makes it look effortless in Riddick.Similarly, Twohy pulls out all the stops in Riddick, crafting a gorgeous movie out of a similar budget to what he made Pitch Black for more than a decade earlier. The landscapes look more alien and desolate, and the creatures Riddick and crew have to survive are far scarier than the excellently designed but terribly hard-to-see bat monsters from the first film.While its the least ambitious or unique of the three movies, Riddick does feel like it captures the soul of the series well. In other words, its exactly what youd hope for when two creatives get the chance to revive a series they love, but thought theyd never make again. In fact, it was Vin Diesels cameo in The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift that earned him the IP rights to the character and allowed Riddick to happen.And thats probably what differentiates the Riddick franchise most from nearly any other IP similar to it: Diesel and Twohy have a passionate love for the character, and more stories they want to tell about the life of Richard B. Riddick even if those stories often mirror the Hollywood trends of their era to a T.Its now been longer between Riddick entries than ever before. Dont let that fool you, though: apparently Diesel and Twohy are hard at work on another sequel. But since that movie may never come to fruition, use the last few days of these movies Prime Video availability to catch up on Riddick, the strangest blockbuster series of the century.Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Riddick are streaming on Prime Video until April 1.

  • The Vipp Todos Santos Guesthouse Opens in the Baja California Desert
    design-milk.com
    When it comes to the ever-illustrious raft of heritage Danish design brands theres perhaps no company more agile than Vipp. Established in the late 1930s, the boutique manufacturer named after the Danish word for tilt gained renown for its trash bins with a hyper-efficient pedal function and durable metal shell. Like the many innovative concepts Vipp has released in the decades since modular kitchen outfits also embody the tenant of timelessness the manufacturer has championed a necessity-driven innovation mindset.This ethos has allowed the company to break out of a typecast definition and lend its expertise to disparate typologies: precision-engineered office furniture among them. Part of this inherent dynamism and diversification turning a bin into a brand has been the development and programing of bookable guesthouses in distinct urban and rural settings; not merely as contextualized domestic showrooms but as holistic experiences demonstrating the family-run manufacturers philosophy: craftsmanship, longevity, and versatility.Joining a roster of nine already well-visited locales all repleted with the brands comprehensive gamut of products: furniture, lighting, accessories, and of course, kitchens is the new Vipp Todos Santos Guesthouse, located in Todo Santos, Mexico. Incorporating 3,800 square feet of space, the five bedroom property unfolds as a clever interplay of indoor and outdoor rooms making the most of the tropical, desertscape surroundings on the Baja California Peninsula coast.Todos Santos has a unique blend of topographies, history, and influences, says Pablo Prez Palacio, the celebrated Mexico City-based co-founder of Prez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados (PPAA) tasked with the especially site-responsive design of the complex: a main house and two interconnected annexes achieved in a decidedly tropical modernist style but with more than just a touch of vernacularity.We wanted to respect these traditions while creating our own architectural language and a building that merges seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, says Prez Palacio. Vipp has been a perfect partner in this project, where you can see an ongoing dialogue between Mexican and Danish design sensibilities throughout its spaces.The seemingly meandering but carefully laid-out abode nestles into the grade of the site and coalesces around the central courtyard, covered patio positioned as an elevated plinth framing sweeping views of unspoiled nature in its midst.According to PPAA, the Vipp Todos Santos guesthouse is a dynamic interplay of strategically placed volumes and stepped exterior stairways. Programmed on three levels, the home begins with two intimate ensuite bedrooms on the ground level, two additional ones in a wing of the first floor, a full principal suite, and a minimal amount of indoor entertainment spaces the kitchen complete with Vipp products as much of that situates in semi-outdoor environments like the canopied and open terraces. The dining rooms outdoor table seamlessly extends from the kitchen counter. The matrix of flat roofs emerge with a circular celestial oasis pool and additional lounges.The almost mono-material application of rammed-earth is not only indicative of local building practices but also sustainable. The ancient tradition of erecting these especially thick walls is a pre-air condition cooling strategy, that along with breezeways and non-monolithic massing provides natural cooling. They also keep the interiors warm on the cool nights, common through the year here. Though adherent to the tried and true refreshed approach, the overall architecture still includes large apertures framing panoramic ocean views.Developed in close collaboration between PPAA, Vipps third-generation co-owner Sofie Christensen Egelund, and Copenhagen-based interior designer Julie Cloos Mlsgaard, the interior is a serene amalgam of natural tones and cleverly contrasting textures: locally sourced craft works like woven textiles and ceramics. The open-concept living area is outfitted with Vipps recently released anodized aluminum V3 Kitchen and other complementary items.The opening of our first guesthouse in North America is an incredible milestone for Vipp, Christensen Egelund says. Over the years, we have grown from a small company with just one design, the bin my grandfather created in 1939, to develop a global following for our furniture and kitchens, all made with the same integrity and longevity as our very first product. Our diverse portfolio of guest houses has allowed us to bring our passion for design to life through wide ranging architecture and interiors. I have admired Pablos work for some time and we are thrilled to have him as our latest collaborator in this exciting project. Our shared love of buildings that frame nature and architecture that is responsive to its environment has resulted in one of our most special guest houses to date.What: Vipp Todos Santos GuesthouseWhere: Todos Santos, MexicoHow much: $2,500 per night for up to 12 adultsDesign draw: An interplay of stepped, site-responsive volumes integrated into the grade of the tropical desert locale with rammed earth walls giving way to ocean view apertures and a clever introduction of Vipp products; the perfect setting for an indoor/outdoor vacation.Book it: Vipp Todos Santos GuesthouseGo virtually on vacation withmore design destinations right here.Photography by Anders Hviid.

  • Cuddle-Worthy Curves Marry Modularity in King Livings 1977 Sofa
    design-milk.com
    Psychedelic patterns, plush carpets, and syncopated beats are among the pop-culture elements plucked from the 1970s that continue to captivate global audiences with the same nostalgia-packed power that crackling vinyl has over a new generation finding its groove. But 70s design in the Land Down Under saw a modernism largely inspired by coastal living, creature comforts, and a flowering of colorful, artistic expression a little less rigid than some of their western counterparts.Family-owned furniture brand King Living has produced some of Australias most memorable home furnishings, namely, the Award Sofa, which celebrated the companys most significant seating launch in the late 1970s. Its oversized proportions, cuddle-worthy curves, and unique modularity have inspired the next of kin 1977 Sofa.At King Living, we are continuously advancing and evolving, shares David King, founder of King Living. But when we first launched the inaugural sofa, we could have never imagined that so many years on, it would still have the same design relevance it did nearly 50 years ago.Thoughtful planning and masterful execution are among the attributes that help designers generate rich sensory experiences for end users, and subsequently, the emotional connections that imbue good design with decades-long staying power. This iteration of King Livings iconic piece is fashioned from varying densities of CFC-free high-resilience foams and fibers to achieve support across graduated layers in an undulating, sculptural landscape of comfort anticipating even the most fidgety couch surfers. Whats more, the sofas seemingly inflated, curvaceous silhouette possesses a slightly neotenic quality and playful dimension specific to Australian decor.A sturdy, recyclable steel frame and suspension system within its cushioning work in conjunction with the brands Postureflex Seating System to bolster ergonomics, usability, and product longevity. Customers will experience even more fitness for purpose in the sofas structure, which features a proprietary, patented, uniquely customizable connection system. Modules can be combined and rearranged as life demands, adapting configurations to evolving needs and spatial requirements.Personalization extends to the aesthetic touches. Individual modules will be available in two exclusive fabric collections developed specifically for the 1977 Sofa. The tailored covers can be easily removed a concept introduced by King Living in 1978 allowing for a variety of conveniences atypical of upholstered furniture: convenient machine washing when textiles are soiled; site-specific replacements to minimize waste when in disrepair; and swappable looks as seasons or interior design preferences change.With an accessible starting price of $2,000 AUD roughly $1,200 USD for a three-module package, the 1977 Sofa is poised to impress youthful shoppers looking for affordable, quality furniture just as much as long-time design enthusiasts who are willing to invest. The sustainability-minded will also appreciate King Livings continued commitment to eco-conscious business practices, which include logistics with zero polyurethane packing materials and efficient shipping methods to minimize their carbon footprint.The 1977 is a testament to our history-making design, King adds. Through our long-lasting, deep relationships with our customers and our extensive understanding of the changing landscape, the 1977 is a showcase of our commitment to innovation and our strength in Australian design.To explore more from the family-owned brand, visit kingliving.com.Photography courtesy of King Living.

  • You Can Now Generate Podcast-Style 'Audio Overviews' Directly in Gemini AI
    lifehacker.com
    Last year, Google released a niche feature in its experimental NotebookLM product that turned out to be a sleeper hit. You could upload any document to NotebookLM, and it would use AI to generate a two-person conversational podcast out of it. These aren't meant to be uploaded online for viewership, but for you to listen to as a learning ad.The idea is that there are times when it's easier to understand a concept when two people are just casually conversing about it. If that sounds appealing to you, good news: you no longer need to dive into the unfamiliar NotebookLM interface to try it out. Google's AI-generated podcasts, called Audio Overviews, are now available for free directly in the Gemini app and website. And now that Audio Overviews are integrated directly into Gemini, you can even use Gemini's own Deep Research reports as sources for your podcast.Personally, I've found it useful to first prompt Gemini to create a Deep Research report on a topic, then directly generate an Audio Overview from it (skipping past having to read it myself).Generate and download podcasts on any topicTo get started, use the Gemini website or the Gemini app. To upload your own document or slide show, click the Plus button and add in your desired source file. As soon as the file is processed, you'll see a button for Generate Audio Overview. Credit: Khamosh Pathak Press the button and wait for Gemini to begin its work. It can take anywhere between 35 minutes to generate your podcast audio, depending on the depth of the material.Alternatively, you can prompt Gemini to create a report for you using the Deep Research option below the text box. Here, too, you'll have to wait a couple of minutes until the research is ready. Then, open the Deep Research document, click the down-arrow button, and then use the Generate Audio Overview button. You can also just enter "Generate Audio Overview" in the text box. Credit: Khamosh Pathak When the processing is done, you'll get a notification from the Gemini website or the app. You'll now see a player in the chat box. Hit the Play button to start playback, and use the seek bar to jump to any point in the recording. Yes, there's speed control too, but you can only increase the playback speed up to 1.5x. Credit: Khamosh Pathak I got 10 minutes of podcast overview from a 12-page document, so the detail isn't bad. If you don't want to listen to your podcast right away, or if you'd like to share it, you can also download the audio for offline payback. Click the three-dot menu button in the audio player and choose the Download option. Credit: Khamosh Pathak From here, you can also choose the Share conversation option to share your Gemini chat and recording using a link. And while you're in Gemini, you might want to try creating your own custom AI Bots, called Gems, since those are now free for everyone to use.
