Featuring an entirely original story and a new cast, the custom campaign returns fans to Athkatla, the sprawling city from Baldurs Gate 2.Created by a team of modders, the upcoming mod is aiming to release its first playable demo [in] Spring 2025, making full use of the cracked BG3 mod tools that released last year. With new footage showing off more progress of the mind-blowing new mod, its clear were entering a golden age for Baldurs Gate 3.Baldurs Gate 3 custom campaign footageReleased just days ago on YouTube, new footage of the Path To Menzoberranzan shows the player traipsing down the Athkatla Streets. A gorgeous recreation of the classic isometric games locale, the new location is Larian quality in its design with ornate, fully-furnished interiors and intense crowds.Currently sitting at just 2,300 views at the time of wriing, the new footage showcases the best modding work weve seen in Baldurs Gate 3 yet. While some modders work on other custom campaigns that take players to locations from World of Warcraft, or shove Master Chief into the game, this is the first BG3 mod that feels like it could be an official expansion.In a comment on the YouTube video, it was confirmed that every companion in the game will be completely new with their own VAs [voice actors]. Additionally, the custom campaignwhen releasedshould be playable without ruining your current playthrough of the main game.While the new custom campaign will take players to familiar locations from Baldurs Gate 2, the team is clear to state that this is a completely different story. This is not a remake of the now 24-year-old game. Instead, its an entirely original experience.Theres still no solid release date for the custom campaign or its upcoming demo, although that is at least planned to release in Spring. Furthermore, the mod will not be available on console or via Baldurs Gate 3s official mod page as it makes use of the cracked mod tools. Instead, players on PC will have to download it, and other custom campaigns, via Nexus Mods.Nevertheless, this is an incredibly exciting time to be a fan of Baldurs Gate 3. While were not on the level of Fallout London-size fan-made expansions, we are experiencing the start of something brilliant, and I cant wait to see where it goes.Baldurs Gate 3Platform(s):macOS, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series S/X, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Adventure, RPG, Strategy10VideoGamerSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

This has resulted in the producer sharing major improvements coming to TFD as early as March, which is when Season 3 is expected to land and introduce a brand-new character. Away from the producer, The First Descendant director has shared plans for better farming and improvements to characters considered weak.The First Descendant farming improvementsDuring The First Descendant Discord Q&A, TFD_Director_Jooms was asked if there are any plans to improve farming to help players avoid needing to grind so much.The directors answer is translated by GPT so there might be some translation errors, but the director responded, We are planning improvements for both External Component farming and the External Component system itself.Jooms elaborated, In the short term, we are preparing measures to ease the difficulty of farming, and we will provide updates as soon as plans are finalized. As for how farming will be improved, Nexon aim to enhance [the] fun elements of the Component System, and This will require system-level changes, so it is being approached as a long-term plan rather than a simple farming improvement.In regard to Void Abyss Metal Fragments, [Nexon] plan to increase the reward from 400% Infiltration Operations to 40 pieces and are considering additional supplies through events.Image credit: The First Descendant DiscordImproving weak charactersAlongside plans to improve farming, the director also discussed Nexons intentions to buff characters dubbed weak by players. In response to a question about Nexons philosophy towards balancing, Jooms said, our approach is not to stick to our own ideas but to embrace community feedback, verify through data, and address shortcomings.The director promised that Nexon are in the process of adjusting the weaker [characters] to match the level of more powerful Descendants that exist. Recently Nexon released reworks for Valby, Luna, and Jayber, but this was a mixed bag, and resulted in accusations of Nexon prioritising female characters over male.One of the characters mentioned by the director is Yujin. Jooms believes improvements are necessary to make Yujin more effective and convenient for solo play, and the developers hope to make him more accessible to a broader range of players. There are also plans to rework Jayber again following the negative feedback from players.Image credit: The First Descendant DiscordIn more The First Descendant news, players can check out the2025 roadmap.The First DescendantPlatform(s):PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Action, Adventure, RPG5VideoGamerSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share

Recchia came to working with glass somewhat by chance. While studying architecture at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in So Paulo, it was a school projectcreating a model for an all-glass buildingthat ignited his interest in what he considers a really new material in Brazil. Eager to deepen his understanding of the process, he connected with a local couple who, having honed their skills in the hot shops of Venice, had just set up their own atelier outside the city. Soon, Recchia established his own design practice and, with their help, created tables from vitreous slabs, blown orbs, and broken shards. His most recent seriesand his most complex yet to producenods to stained glass, inserting melted pieces into bronze or aluminum frameworks to create surfaces, mirrors, and more.Humberto Da MataSee more of Da Mata's work at humbertodamata.com.Trained as an architect, Da Mata cut his teeth under the Campana Brothers, a stint that, in his words, changed the course of my professional life. Inspired by their materials-driven practice, he devoted himself to the basics of making, first using local textiles to create cartoonishly woven upholstered pieces. After formally launching his studio in 2012, he expanded to ceramics in 2018, eventually developing his own blend of paper pulp that he applies to metal or wood frames in a highly improvisational process. Once it dries he sands it down, applying a thin layer of powder to eliminate imperfections and slicking the whole thing in automotive paint. The resulting formsorganic and often functionaldepart from the modernist language associated with Brazil. I studied architecture in a Niemeyer building, but then I moved to this chaotic city where there are a lot of things happening, reflects Da Mata, whose practice is also based in Barra Funda. In my work, I see these different influences coming together.PalmaPalma is represented by Verso gallery in New York (verso-works.com).Everyday staples prove ripe for reinvention in the work of Palma, founded by Lorenzo Lo Schiavo (left) and Clo Dbberthin.

Get Into GearLet's rock: the Guilty Gear Strive anime finally has a release date, and yes, you will be able to watch it on CrunchyrollWill it make sense? Probably not! Do I care? Nope!Image credit: Arc System Works News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Jan. 22, 2025 Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, the anime adaptation of the popular fighting game, finally has a release date.Are you more of a heaven or a hell person? As long as you're one or the other, you're probably a Guilty Gear fan, and if that is you, then you'll be happy to hear that the anime adaptation of the long-running fighting game series finally has a release date: April, 2025. A new trailer has been released by Arc System Works showing off the anime, which is pretty much just Strive's 3D style turned into a fully-fledged TV show, and also confirmed that it'll be coming to Crunchyroll. While the trailer itself only says April as a release window, the show's official website notes that it will be airing from April 5. Whether that means it will be simulcast on Crunchyroll, I can't tell you, but I'm sure more details will be confirmed further down the line.Watch on YouTubeThe trailer also showed off a whole bunch of returning cast members, including series mainstays Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske, as well as others like Bridget, Baiken, Dizzy, Jack-O', Johnny, Leo, Elphelt, and Ramlethal. There's also the brand new character, Unika, whose inclusion is still a bit mysterious (but she'll also be appearing as a playable character in Strive presumably sometime this year too).

The official website describes the story: After the decline of the once robust fields of science and technology, a new energy source known as magic fuels the modern era. Humanity creates forbidden biological weapons: Gears. Those Gears eventually stand against humanity in a rebellion. Although they manage to overcome in the struggle for survival known as the Crusades, humanitys losses are so great that even after several decades pass, their emotional wounds remain unable to fully heal. Sin Kiske, the child of a human and a Gear, heads to his father Ky and mother Dizzys wedding ceremony. Their wedding breaks the ultimate taboo: a union between a human and a Gear. "Even with the world at peace, it took many years for such a ceremony to come to fruition. Despite the complex array of emotions surrounding it, the wedding ceremony is met with blessings. When suddenly, a mysterious girl appears The fated child inheriting Gear bloodand the mysterious girl who despises Gears. Their meeting would shake the world."Yes, that does sound like a lot, but when has the Guilty Gear series been anything but itself through and through?

Just Glup ShittoRyan Gosling might be too famous of a face to be in Star Wars, but one report claims he's in talks to star in the director of Deadpool & Wolverine's entry in the seriesMaybe they'll put him in a bunch of alien make-up.Image credit: Warner Bros/ Lucasfilm News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Jan. 22, 2025 In what might be a surprising bit of casting news, Ken himself Ryan Gosling is apparently in talks to star in Shawn Levy's Star Wars flick.Over the course of its many years of existence, Star Wars has generally leaned in the direction of casting mostly unknown/ up-and-coming actors. This is true for the original trilogy, slightly less so for the prequels, and definitely so for the modern trilogy. So, hearing from The Hollywood Reporter that Ryan Gosling of all actors is potentially up for a role in Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie does come as a little bit of a surprise. It's not like Star Wars is a complete stranger to big names these days, Skeleton Crew has Jude Law, the modern trilogy had Laura Dern, neither of which are exactly small names.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Gosling is obviously a massive name now, already widely known in the 2000s for his role in The Notebook, but also later the star of big blockbusters like Blade Runner 2049 and Barbie. You could maybe even argue that he has too famous of a face for a world like Star Wars, there's definitely a concern that you might see him and think "hang on, this can't be a galaxy far, far away because that's Ryan Gosling!" Still, he doesn't appear to be signed on just yet, and it's not even clear what his role would be.Details are pretty scant on Levy's entry in the sci-fi universe, we know he's been working on it since 2022, and that Jonathan Tropper (who Levy worked with on This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project) has been working on the script for around a year. Levy himself obviously only just added to another big Disney-owned universe with last year's Deadpool & Wolverine in the MCU, so he's clearly keeping himself plenty busy. Now we just have to wait and see which Star Wars movie that's currently in the works comes out first (it'll probably be The Mandalorian & Grogu, but things can always change).

Its only January, but the recent hack of U.S. edtech giant PowerSchool has the potential to be one of the biggest breaches of the year.PowerSchool, which provides K-12 software to more than 18,000 schools to support some 60 million students in the United States, confirmed the breach in early January. The California-based company, which Bain Capital acquired for $5.6 billion in 2024, said at the time that hackers used compromised credentials to breach its customer support portal, allowing further access to the companys school information system, PowerSchool SIS, which schools use to manage student records, grades, attendance, and enrollment.On December 28, 2024, we became aware of a potential cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS information through one of our community-focused customer portals, PowerSource, PowerSchool spokesperson Beth Keebler told TechCrunch.PowerSchool has been open about certain aspects of the breach. Keebler told TechCrunch that the PowerSource portal, for example, did not support MFA at the time of the incident, while PowerSchool did. But a number of important questions remain unanswered.This week, TechCrunch sent PowerSchool a list of outstanding questions about the incident, which has the potential to impact millions of students in the U.S. Keebler declined to answer our questions, saying that all updates related to the breach would be posted on the companys SIS incident page, which hasnt been updated since January 17. PowerSchool told customers it would share an incident report from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which the company hired to investigate the breach, on January 17. But several sources who work at schools impacted by the breach told TechCrunch that they have yet to receive it.The companys customers also have lots of unanswered questions, forcing those impacted by the breach to work together to investigate the hack.Here are some of the questions that remain unanswered.Its not known how many schools, or students, are affectedTechCrunch has heard from schools affected by the PowerSchool breach that the impact could be massive. However, PowerSchools incident page makes no mention of the scale of the breach, and the company has repeatedly declined to say how many schools and individuals are affected.In a statement sent to TechCrunch last week, Keebler said PowerSchool had identified the schools and districts whose data was involved in this incident, but would not be sharing the names of those involved.However, communications from impacted school districts give a general idea of the size of the breach. The Toronto District School Board (TDSB), Canadas largest school board that serves approximately 240,000 students each year, said this week that hackers may have accessed some 40 years worth of student data. Similarly, Californias Menlo Park City School District confirmed that hackers accessed information on all current students and staff which respectively number around 2,700 students and 400 staff as well as students and staff dating back to the start of the 2009-10 school year.The scale of the data theft is also unknown. PowerSchool also hasnt said how much data was accessed during the cyberattack, but in a communication shared with its customers earlier this month, seen by TechCrunch, the company confirmed that hackers stole sensitive personal information on students and teachers, including some students Social Security numbers, grades, demographics, and medical information. TechCrunch has also heard from multiple schools affected by the incident that all of their historical student and teacher data was accessed.One person who works at an affected school district told TechCrunch that the stolen data includes highly sensitive student data, including information about parental access rights to their children, including restraining orders, and information about when certain students need to take their medications.PowerSchool hasnt said how much it paid the hackers responsible for the breachPowerSchool told TechCrunch that the organization had taken appropriate steps to prevent the stolen data from being published. In the communication shared with customers, the company confirmed that it worked with a cyber-extortion incident response company to negotiate with the threat actors responsible for the breach.This all but confirms that PowerSchool paid a ransom to the attackers that breached its systems. However, when asked by TechCrunch, the company refused to say how much it paid, nor how much the hackers demanded.We dont know what evidence PowerSchool received that the stolen data has been deletedIn a statement shared with TechCrunch earlier this month, PowerSchools Keebler said the organization does not anticipate the data being shared or made public and that it believes the data has been deleted without any further replication or dissemination.However, the company has repeatedly declined to say what evidence it has received to suggest that the stolen data had been deleted. Early reports said the company received video proof, but PowerSchool wouldnt confirm or deny when asked by TechCrunch.Even then, proof of deletion is by no means a guarantee that the hackers are still not in possession of the data; the U.K.s recent takedown of the LockBit ransomware gang unearthed evidence that the gang still had data belonging to victims who had paid a ransom demand.We dont yet know who was behind the attackOne of the biggest unknowns about the PowerSchool cyberattack is who was responsible. The company has been in communication with the hackers but has refused to reveal their identities. CyberSteward, the Canadian incident response organization that PowerSchool worked with to negotiate, did not respond to TechCrunchs questions.Do you have more information about the PowerSchool data breach?

Since it was founded in 2014, India-based Postman has made a name for itself as one of the most popular platforms for building and using APIs, with 500,000 organizations now using the service. Like with so many other SaaS services, though, its valuation today is reportedly down from its $5.6 billion high in 2021. But the company is now jumping head-first into the AI space with the launch of an AI agent builder that combines large language models and the Postman API platform, as well as a visual editor that brings the two together to help even non-developers build and test AI agents.At first, jumping into AI agents may seem like an odd choice for a company like Postman, but as Postman CEO and co-founder Abhinav Asthana noted when I talked to him ahead of the agent builders launch, to be useful, these agents have to interact with a wide variety of services and the way to do that is through APIs.Our customers actually started asking us about this. Okay, this agent thing is kind of coming up. What are you guys doing about it? And we looked at the patterns in which they are stringing this together. Whether theyre using homegrown systems or theyre using some third-party stuff, APIs are a key part of it, because there are two kinds of APIs: one is the LLM itself, like the OpenAI API, or the Anthropics API, or maybe a homegrown API. And the second bit are tools the agent would use. So we were like, okay, Postman is helping developers do all things APIs and if this is emerging as a pattern, we should do something here, explained Asthana. Postman agent workflows.Image Credits:PostmanHe also noted that a growing number of Postman users are non-developers, who want to use the service for building simple, API-centric applications. So when AI technology started emerging, we had to test it out a lot. We saw like, okay, can this be used? And it looks like no-code, plus AI, plus agents is a good combo to bring together, Asthana said.Postmans API network already features an API hub with contributions from over 18,000 companies, which now, in turn, also allows its users to build AI agents that can interact with these APIs. To ensure that these agents work as expected, Postman is adding testing and evaluation tools to the service to test prompts and inputs for the models it supports (think OpenAI, Googles Gemini, Anthropics Claude, Cohere and Metas Llama, for example). It then allows users to use Postman Flows, the companys visual development environment, to build these agents and have them interact with APIs. Postman LLM evaluation.Image Credits:PostmanRight now, Postmans AI agents are mostly focused on enabling back-end operations. While developers could use the service to power front-end services, Postman itself doesnt offer any user interface for directly interacting with these agents yet. Over time, this may change. We are all very bullish on agent software, but I think the modalities in which we interact with these systems is also going to evolve, Asthana said.Postman, of course, is not the only company in this space, but on top of having its existing API hub, Asthana also believes that it can differentiate its service from others and especially the large cloud providers by offering a better developer experience. In my opinion, the cloud providers always prioritize consumption of the cloud over developer experience, and I think theyre willing to partner with anyone who does actually give the right developer experience, he said.The company is still figuring out how to best charge for this new service. Pricing, Asthana said, will evolve over time as the team works out how to best determine the value that these agents bring.

Mobile CLT Cabin | EarthboatJapans economic boom in the late 20th century led to the proliferation of leisure facilities such as ski resorts, golf courses, and fishing ponds. However, many of these sites have since fallen into disuse, presenting a challenge for contemporary architects seeking sustainable solutions for their revitalization. Earthboat V1, designed by PAN- PROJECTS, responds to this issue, offering a mobile, foundation-free cabin crafted from Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT). Earthboat transforms forgotten landscapes into functional retreats by integrating eco-conscious principles with hospitality.Earthboat V1 Technical InformationArchitects1-2: PAN- PROJECTSLocation: Various Sites Across JapanBuilding Function: Mobile Cabin, HotelArea: 20.5 m2 | 220.66 Sq. Ft.Completion Year: 2024Photographs: EarthboatWith its foundation-free design, Earthboat floats above the ground, preserving the land while introducing new ways to interact with nature. PAN- PROJECTSEarthboat V1 Photographs Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat Earthboat EarthboatDesign & Materiality: A Modular Approach to Sustainable ArchitectureEarthboat V1 is constructed entirely from CLT, a material traditionally reserved for large-scale projects in Japan. By applying it to a compact 20.5m mobile cabin, the project demonstrates CLTs adaptability and its potential for small-scale construction.One of the defining aspects of Earthboat is its foundation-free, floating design, which minimizes land disruption and allows for seamless integration into diverse environments. Unlike traditional hospitality structures that require extensive groundwork, Earthboat preserves the natural terrain while ensuring flexibility in relocation.The interior is designed with functionality in mind, featuring modern amenities such as an integrated sauna. Its prefabricated nature ensures efficient construction, reducing waste and allowing for deployment across multiple locations.Earthboat V1 Contextual Adaptability & Regenerative ArchitectureEarthboat is an example of regenerative architecture, repurposing underused landscapes without imposing permanent structures. The project has been implemented across seven locations in Japan, with around 60 units completed or in progress. By activating dormant leisure spaces, Earthboat introduces new ways of engaging with nature, offering an alternative to outdated concrete facilities.Its mobility allows it to migrate to new locations as needed, ensuring continued usability. This approach aligns with the growing trend of eco-conscious travel, where guests seek immersive experiences without the ecological burden of permanent developments. Earthboat serves as a model for future adaptive reuse projects worldwide by preserving and revitalizing landscapes rather than altering them.Architectural ImplicationsEarthboat V1 is an architectural experiment that challenges the conventional norms of hospitality design. By proving the viability of CLT in small-scale applications, it sets a precedent for its broader adoption in Japan and beyond. Its modular, prefabricated approach suggests possibilities beyond leisure, including off-grid living, disaster relief housing, and remote workspaces.Nonetheless, Earthboat V1 offers a different approach to design, environmental regeneration, and hospitality. It is an invitation to rethink how architecture interacts with the land, demonstrating that temporary structures can impact how spaces are used and revitalized.Earthboat V1 PlansFloor Plan | PAN- PROJECTSSection | PAN- PROJECTSEarthboat V1 Image GalleryAbout PAN- PROJECTSPAN- PROJECTS is a London and Copenhagen-based architectural design studio founded by Yusuke Kinoshita and Kentaro Nishi.
