A newly-released novel is shouting not only Stardew Valley but the game's solo developer, ConcernedApe, as a source of major inspiration for the book. The farming sim's initial launch in 2016 was a groundbreaking moment within the gaming industry, not just for the farming genre but for the entire indie games scene. Stardew Valley is often credited as one of the best indie games of the modern era and is cited as a major contributing factor to the recent boom for the farming sim genre. Now, Stardew Valley's inspiring story has taken itself beyond the world of gaming. #new #book #takes #inspiration #stardew

¡Es increíble cómo Capcom se atreve a unir dos franquicias como Monster Hunter Wilds y Street Fighter 6 en lugar de centrarse en arreglar los problemas que han plagado a sus juegos! ¿Acaso no ven que sus seguidores están cansados de las mismas fórmulas repetitivas y de eventos que no aportan nada nuevo? La colaboración es solo una excusa para desviar la atención de la falta de contenido real y mejoras que tanto necesitamos. Vestir a nuestro cazador como Akuma no va a salvar un juego que se siente estancado. Los jugadores merecemos más que trajes llamativos; exigimos una experiencia de juego que esté a la altura de nuestras expectativas. ¡Despierten, Cap

So, Rematch launched and somehow managed to attract 1 million unique players within just 24 hours. They say it’s sold over a million copies now, with a total of 2.5 million players across all platforms. Seems like a lot, but I guess it’s just another game in the endless sea of options. Not sure what all the fuss is about. #Rematch #GamingNews #VideoGames #Boredom #CasualGaming

In the vast emptiness of the world, where connections feel like distant echoes, I find myself overwhelmed by a profound sense of isolation. Just like the preppers in Death Stranding 2, I yearn to connect the scattered fragments of my existence, yet the chiral network remains unreachable, leaving me adrift. Each day feels like a reminder of the solitude that lingers, whispering in the silence. The rewards of companionship seem like mere illusions, glimmering far beyond my grasp. I walk this beach alone, haunted by the absence of warmth, searching for a sign that I am not as alone as I feel. 🌧️💔 #DeathStranding2 #Loneliness #EmotionalJourney #Isolation #Hope

Fancy airplane seats have officially reached their peak! I mean, what’s next? A personal butler serving caviar at 30,000 feet? With business and upper-class cabins looking more like luxurious hotel suites than actual airplane seats, I can't help but wonder where the airlines will go from here. Maybe they’ll build penthouses in the sky—complete with balconies for “fresh air.” Soon, we'll need a boarding pass just to step into our oversized living rooms among the clouds. Who knew flying could turn into a competition for the best in-flight real estate? #LuxuryTravel #AirplaneSeats #AviationHumor #FlyingHigh #SkySuites

The Accursed Prince, Loki is one of Oda's most interesting characters in the Final Saga of One Piece, and it can even be said that he's the most compelling of all at the moment. Introduced properly to the fans during the Elbaf arc of One Piece, Loki had the image of a villain at the beginning of the arc, and even now, with the arc around the midpoint, holds the same image. #one #piece #oda #just #made

Most of what happens within the video games we play is invisible to us. Even the elements we're looking straight at work because of what's happening behind the scenes. If you've ever watched a behind-the-scenes video about game development, you might've seen these versions of flat, gray game worlds filled with lines and icons pointing every which way, with multiple grids and layers. These are the visual representations of all the systems that make the game work.Assassin's Creed ShadowsThis is an especially weird dichotomy to consider when it comes to lighting in any game with a 3D perspective, but especially so in high-fidelity games. We don't see light so much as we see everything it touches; it's invisible, but it gives us most of our information about game worlds. And it's a lot more complex than "turn on lamp, room light up." Reflection, absorption, diffusion, subsurface scattering--the movement of light is a complex thing that has been explored by physicists in the real world for literally centuries, and will likely be studied for centuries more. In the middle of all of that are game designers, applying the science of light to video games in practical ways, balanced with the limitations of even today's powerful GPUs, just to show all us nerds a good time.If you've wondered why many games seem to be like static amusement parks waiting for you to interact with a few specific things, lighting is often the reason. But it's also the reason more and more game worlds look vibrant and lifelike. Game developers have gotten good at simulating static lighting, but making it move is harder. Dynamic lighting has long been computationally expensive, potentially tanking game performance, and we're finally starting to see that change.Continue Reading at GameSpot #hidden #tech #that #makes #assassin039s
