![]() While many would immediately jump to the conclusion and say “1930s!” because Cuphead, this does not feel like the correct answer (unless if the developers choose to overlook a few details). While it is hard to say how many people reading this article have a vast history in animation, it can be difficult to assume the era of animation the game is reflecting. It was a title that many players at the end wanted to see more of, but know it likely wouldn’t happen due to the amount of work it took to get it to where it was. It’s hard as hell but visually and musically pleasing. Every aspect of Cuphead is hand-drawn and emulates the feeling of early age animation. For those who might not know what Cuphead is, it is a “Run-and-Gun” style shooter (i.e. While you can point towards a great number of titles that we got during 2017, many would argue that Cuphead was one of the most articularly stunning games we got in recent years. While we could focus on any one of these titles, but for the sake of this topic, let’s focus on the biggest indie hit of 2017, Cuphead. Chances are if you did play titles such as Shovel Knight, Shantae or Bloodstained, you know where they got their influences (or how those involved with said titles are making “Spiritual successors” to what they did before). Perhaps one of the main reasons why we enjoy some of the Indie titles is how some developers can take a familiar formula and truly refine it to make it something truly special. Those copycats might not be your cup of tea, but there's nothing inherently wrong with them either.If you have the time to shout about Enchanted Portals on Twitter, it would probably be a more positive use of your time to go play some Cuphead instead.Would it be fair to say that we are in a “Renaissance” for Indies right now? For the span of this generation, Indie Developers got to see such an expansive growth where it feels like they have just as much focus as the AAA Developers. Cuphead will almost certainly do the same. PUBG inspired a whole slew of battle royale games. God of War spawned countless "beefy dude hacking things up" clones. That's why popular things are called "trendsetters": ecause they start trends. Sure, the new game might be banking on love and recognition of something already popular and established, but this is incredibly common within literally every artform in existence. What exactly makes this one worthy of so much hatred? Drawing upon and even reskinning previous games isn't exactly new within the video game world. The developers never pretended that it wasn't directly inspired by Cuphead. At the same time, it's very strange that anybody is so angry about it. To be clear, if anyone doesn't want to play Enchanted Portals because it's so obviously based on Cuphead, that's totally within their rights. ![]() But Cuphead does not hold a monopoly on this style or concept, all of which are also derivative of other artistic things that came before it. The real genius of Cuphead was combining these elements in such a neat, well-designed package. It didn't invent run-and-gun gameplay or boss-centric shoot-em-ups, either, which can be respectively attributed to '80s arcade franchises like Contra and Mega Man for NES. Moreover, Cuphead didn't invent rubber hose animation, which was popularized by classic Disney cartoons of the 1930s. It doesn't steal the source code, it doesn't steal the world or the characters, and until the game comes out, nobody even knows if or how it builds upon the general mechanics. That doesn't make it plagiarism, or anything even close. But.so what? The game is a clear homage to Cuphead. Judging from the trailer, Enchanted Portals is stylistically derivative of Cuphead in just about every way. In fact, the creators have confirmed this fact on their official Facebook page: "We are avids fans of Cuphead and were inspired by it to create something similar, but we're trying to give it a different spin and making it our own thing."Įnchanted Portals borrows a lot from Cuphead, including the rubber hose animation style (defined by jointless, "rubber hose" limbs), run-and-gun, boss-centric gameplay model, and even the jaunty jazz music. For reference, here's the Enchanted Portals trailer:Ĭuphead E3 2015 Trailer for Xbox One So right up front, Enchanted Portals does, indeed, appear to be overwhelmingly inspired by Cuphead.

It quickly becomes apparent that the machines there have become a cult and they turn aggressive on 2B and each other. She learns of another group of machines disconnected from the network were open to discussing a treaty and she travels with Pascal to the Abandoned Factory to meet them. She frees 9S, carrying him out of the collapsing city with a promise to send him home.Īfter having 9S' body sent back to the Bunker, 2B meets with Pascal to see if there have been any other strange trends among the machines. In the ensuing battle, she does, leaving Adam to die in a pool of his own blood. Seeing this sends 2B into a rage, vowing to kill her machine adversary. He also reveals that he has captured 9S, impaling him in a manner similar to crucifixion. Adam lies in wait for her, explaining that he created the city in his attempts to understand humans. She searches for him desperately and her search eventually leads her to the Copied City. Later, during an operation against the titanic machine Grün, 9S is blasted away by the ensuing explosion and separated from 2B. They also encounter Pascal, a pacifistic machine who leads a village of equally minded machine lifeforms, and A2, a deserter android who used to be a part of YoRHa many years ago. During their operations on the surface, 2B and 9S witness the birth of and fight Adam and Eve, two humanoid machines who were created by the machine network with the intent of discovering the secrets of humanity. ![]() Seeing this visibly disturbs 2B, despite 9S' insistence that the machines don't have actual emotions. During their endeavors, 2B and 9S notice how many of their machine lifeform enemies are docile, with some having begun to take on human traits. Realizing that 9S has forgotten her yet again, 2B clenches her fist in frustration.Īfter having her boot sequence taken care of by 9S, the pair are sent to Earth in order to provide reconnaissance information and establish contact with the Resistance planetside. However, as there wasn't enough bandwidth and time, 9S only managed to send 2B's memories with his only intact up to the point of before meeting her. It is revealed that after detonating their black boxes, 2B's data was uploaded back to the Bunker and transferred to a new body, ensuring her survival. ![]() Faced with overwhelming odds, the pair are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goliaths. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 9S reunite, only for three more Engels machines to appear and attack them. 9S implores her to leave him to finish the mission and 2B hesitantly complies. After 2B makes her way to the top the briefly disabled Goliath, she finds a mortally wounded 9S and is briefly overcome with emotion in an attempt to save him. A fight ensues and 9S is severely damaged in the process. The pair explore the factory and are unable to find their target until it comes to life on the outskirts of the building. After becoming the only survivor of the assault, she meets up with her assigned Scanner, 9S. Over the course of hundreds of operations, 2B was forced to kill 9S and wipe his memory countless times, an act that she came to hate for the pain it caused her after bonding with him over that time.ĢB, along with a squadron of other YoRHa units, is sent to the Abandoned Factory to eliminate a Goliath-class target. She was given the designation of 2B as a cover by the Commander, who gave her orders to observe one of the new Scanner models in action during YoRHa's operations against the machines.ĢB's role was to ensure that 9S would not discover the true nature of Project YoRHa by executing him in case he dug too deep because of the natural curiosity programmed into him. 6.3 War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave ExviusĢB was created an unspecified amount of time before the events of the game as part of the new line of YoRHa androids. The newly revamped program operates seamlessly across various platforms, offering a wider array of options for selecting media sources. In 2013, the development team ceased releasing updates, prompting Winamp to shift its focus towards creating a mobile version to dominate the smartphone music player market. While easily downloadable on the latest Windows version, the program has experienced recent turbulence in its history. It also functions as a straightforward web browser for audio files found on the internet. When enjoying your favorite tunes, the main window showcases a media library and provides graphical visualization of the playing media. Unless you manually open a media file, the music player seamlessly transitions to a mini-player with a compact interface. Furthermore, a media monitor automatically detects new media from websites, streaming services, or designated folders. The main window includes a playlist search function and playlist editor. In the center, you'll find the 'currently playing' media prominently displayed. ![]() Once the setup is complete, the program presents a detailed file structure in the left pane of the window. Additionally, it offers the option to import music from iTunes, a boon for Mac users. Upon launching the application for the first time, Winamp prompts you to specify the video and music folders you want to link. How to use Winampįeatures, basic controls, and a timeless layout. The software's simplicity, with its wide file format support and customization options, continues to make it a noteworthy audio player choice for Windows users, even in today's era of advanced streaming services and media players. While Winamp's development slowed down after 2013, it retained a loyal user base due to its reliability and nostalgic appeal. Its intuitive interface and straightforward controls made it a popular choice among users seeking a hassle-free audio playback experience. One of Winamp's distinctive features was its lightweight nature, making it easy to install and use without consuming significant system resources. Additionally, Winamp supported a wide range of plugins that extended its capabilities, enabling features like enhanced audio playback, visualizations, and additional file format support. Users could create and manage playlists, import music from various sources, rip audio CDs, and even stream music from internet radio stations. ![]() The software offered functionalities beyond basic playback. It provided a visually appealing experience through its skins, allowing users to change the look and feel of the player according to their preferences. Initially released in 1997, Winamp quickly became a favorite among users due to its simplicity and efficiency in playing various audio file formats, including MP3, FLAC, AAC, WAV, and more. ![]() Your response handily evades the question of whether this is potentially adding a backdoor for the users computer to be pooled into a server farm. I also find it highly odd that organisations with a near monopoly in software need to have unpaid users who are not employed by said firm to provide support on their software and yet defend their actions with a somewhat militant perspective rather than said firm aknowledging and dealing with the cause for complaint. At least, that's what reputable firms do. Personally I think it is well established within the software industry to include a warning on installation about 3rd party software and give users an opt in/out during installation. But, I’ve got a ponderous list of other things to do, so that was a rainy-day thing. I’ll probably just uninstall After Effects, since I only installed it to play with it, and discover that I can use it for. Is this going to compete in a resource wrenching way?!? Inquiring computer geeks what to know! The dilemma? That I have to establish a Maxon presence just to find out if Maxon has established a de facto presence on my PC! I want to find out if this “Render Farm” thing is Opt-In, or is my PC going to, now, be thrust into render-service, by default?!? And, if so, how “nice” will it be? I mean, I already use my PC for CPU/GPU intensive things. Whew !?įurther frustration and incredulity when opening Maxon Cinema 4D, only to be confronted with a Second Party authentication layer!?!? Why isn't it an Adobe Cloud authentication?!? You mean I have to establish an account with Maxon, to use an Adobe product?!? So I Googled, and learned, first, that " Team Render" is all about adding my Computer to a Render Farm!?! Wait, WHAT?!?! Then further pawing through the search results revealed the connection to Adobe and ultimately to After Effects. Also, be sure to return to BOXX Blog for the second in this three-part series where we’ll profile the tool improvements in Cinema 4D S22.That was my reaction this morning, when I saw the entries in my "Recently Added" list: Also recommended is the APEXX X3 featuring an Intel® Core™ X-series processor (up to 18 cores with optional overclocking).To configure your Cinema 4D workstation, visit our C4D Solutions page, or call a BOXX C4D expert at. Seams are the equivalent of making cuts, so instead of sewing patterns together, you’re doing just the opposite-trying to determine where best to cut in order to flatten out your 3D model into a UV Map.īecause a workstation with a high frequency CPU most benefits UV unwrapping in your 3D modeling workflow, the professionally overclocked BOXX APEXX S3, featuring an eight-core Intel® Core™ i7 or i9 processor (5.1GHz), is an outstanding choice. Next, define pins or immediately move into defining seams. If you prefer to do your own UV unwrapping, set your base UVW from a projection type. ![]() Next, using Automatic UV, you can choose the new Packed option (and with one click) generate a useable UV map. It also makes it easy to view overlapping polygons.Ī new automatic unwrapping algorithm that's implemented in Set UVW from Projection automatically generates a UV map from the selected projection type. ![]() Lastly, a new (and very useful) visualization mode shows UV distortion via a heat map so you can see which polygons are squashed (red) or stretched (blue) in relation to the 3D mesh. Another critical improvement is the ability to use UV maps to see map distortion. Other new visualization modes like the multi-color islands mode allows you to see UVs on all the separate islands, while UV Connectivity enables you to see seam relationships. With view modes like UV Seams, you can now see seams in both the 2D UV Editor as well as the 3D view. S22 improves the process by simplifying how 2D UVs relate to your 3D model and enables you to easily understand and visualize it. UV is the process of defining seams and then unwrapping a model at its seams in order to flatten it out for easy texturing. But for now, in the first of this three-part blog series, let’s begin with what’s new regarding UV workflow. Later this year, another release, with the perpetual license upgrade option, will include all the S22 features, as well as more enhancements. Even more surprising is that even though the two releases are so close, the latest version is still packed with great new features for UV unwrapping and editing workflow, viewport technology, and much more. It was last September when Maxon released Cinema 4D version R21, so just as you were getting used to that one, along came the new S22 version at the end of April (available for subscribers only). ![]() Wizards of the Coast provided these filled-in character sheets to go along with the Lost Mines of Phandelver but can be handy to have for any game (you can even use them as NPCs too!). If you’re new to the game, are stuck for ideas, or just need a character on short notice, then you might find pre-generated character DnD character sheets helpful. Premade class specific DnD character sheet examples There’s space at the top of this sheet to note your spellcasting ability, spell save DC, and spell Attack Bonus (great for when you’re learning a new character). If you’re playing a class that has access to spellcasting, then this page is where you will record the names of the spells you know and track the number of spell slots you have (and have left as you progress through the adventuring day). In my experience, this is a great place to make some notes if you don’t have a dedicated DnD notebook (yet). This page is pretty straightforward and mostly comprises the backstory and visual appearance of your character, with additional space to record any treasure you plunder and friends (or enemies!) you make along the way. The different aspects of your PC’s personality are divided amongst the boxes in the top right. The rest of page one! You can throw tool, vehicle, instrument, and gaming set proficiencies in the box on the bottom left (along with the Languages you know).The ‘Features & Traits’ box is where you can record your race, background, and class abilities as well as the details of any feats and magic items you may pick up along your adventure.At the bottom of your sheet you can record your various equipment ( armor, rations, arrows etc.), with separate boxes to track each denomination of coin (copper, silver, electrum, gold, and platinum in ascending order).Here you’ll write a summary which includes the attack/spell name, the Attack Bonus you’ll add to your roll, and the damage (complete with what damage type it inflicts). Squarely in the middle of your sheet is where you’ll record some notes about your attacks and spells.Below that, is where you can track your hit points (current and maximum), temporary hit points, your hit dice and, should you be unfortunate to need them, your death saving throw results! Splitting the sheet down the middle we have the fields to record the PC’s AC, Initiative bonus and speed(s).For your passive Perception, just use 10+ the Perception modifier you wrote in the skills section. Write the modifier for each save and skill next to its name and check the little circle to show if you are proficient in that save/skill or not. Moving to the right a little, there is a space to mark if you currently have inspiration (a DM given reward), your proficiency bonus (determined by your level, you can check this in your class table), and the sections for your saving throws and skills.The large number (also known as your score) goes in the small oval, your modifier goes in the big box. Now to the body and mind of your PC, your stats! Once you have determined your stats (either by point buy or rolling) go ahead and write them in whatever skill you want to assign them to.Lawful Good) and your number of experience points (if your DM is using them).
