![]() ![]() Which is to say, I never met a wave of demons I couldn’t defeat while air-dashing and emptying every gun in my possession turns out it’s a pretty effective solution against hellish pursuers.Įnvironmental traps like totems of spinning blades and meat mincers the size of barns crop up every now and then, but their effectiveness fails to spice up combat encounters that quickly become harder and harder to differentiate from each other. The intent behind the equal footing given to gun and swordplay in Shadow Warrior 3 is admirable, but while the gunplay mostly feels fine, there’s a rapid standardisation of these encounters that happens, even within the opening hours of the game. Players start a level, run and grapple hook down a series of corridors and out-door-idors, enter into a vaguely round room, and thus the killing begins. The problem emerges as the broader gameplay loop becomes clear. Taking advantage of an increasingly bulging weapons wheel and a dedicated ‘right click to katana’ attack, players wall run, grapple, explode barrels and deploy environmental traps as they tear through increasingly vicious waves of enemies later in the game. Looping and weaving through the death traps of Shadow Warrior 3’s arenas is where the game comes closest to success. It means the narrative rarely stops to marinate in the world it’s building, often too concerned with getting you to the next bullet arena or back into the combat, where the majority of the game’s design highlights lie. ![]() Owing mostly to the game’s highest priority of maintaining an entirely unserious tone, Shadow Warrior 3’s refusal to truly care about any of the cultural touch-stones it’s taking advantage of kneecaps the game. Significant betrayals and deceptions are passed over in a manner of moments, character relationships are grown and changed with throwaway lines of dialogue, and the cast of the game is so small that the plot starts to feel like a minor group-chat argument between four horrible, irritating people rather than an adventure to save the world.Īside from the core combat experience, everything in Shadow Warrior 3 feels tangential most of all Polish developer Flying Wild Hog’s setting and cultural borrowings from Japanese folklore and mythology, which are given all the thematic weight of decorations for a child’s birthday party. Of course, Shadow Warrior 3 is enthusiastically irreverent to the bone, so the stakes never feel terribly meaningful, yet strangely, the game’s tone is constantly hot-footing between caring too much and too little about its characters and world. What you get with Shadow Warrior 3 is a linear rush across the game’s ‘neo-feudal Japan’ setting, listening to Lo Wang karaoke-ing and quipping his way through largely same-y combat encounters. I never thought I would describe an apocalyptic mission to slay a world-ending dragon as ‘quaint’, but here we are. ![]() However, while Shadow Warrior 3 seeks to efficiently trim the series down to a state as razor sharp as a katana, it instead ends up feeling like a slice of life out of a more interesting, expansive game. Paring itself down from the RPG-lite frills of Shadow Warrior 2, a game replete with transferable weapon power-ups, enemy health bars and optional missions, Shadow Warrior 3 emerges from its diligent note-taking during the recent ‘ Doomassiance’ by directly attempting to ape the structure, gameplay loop and progression systems present in both 2016’s Doom and 2020’s Doom Eternal. ![]()

![]() Most of what I’ve talked about so far covers his first competitive variation, but Terminator has some interesting tools on his other variations that change up his gameplay substantially. The most likely option is the overhead, since it’s safe on block and leads to big damage, but if you keep blocking the overhead and keep getting hit by lows or command grabs that damage adds up very quickly. To break that down, the opponent has to guess whether to block the overhead, the low attack, or either jump over, duck, or interrupt the command throw. ![]() He’s a character that basically lives or dies by whether he’s able to get in close, knock the enemy down, and stay there. In addition, his main combo strings are easily beaten out by fast attacks, which makes them a little tricky to just throw out in the wild and while he has a few solid projectiles and a shield that makes him projectile invulnerable, he has a tough time getting in on those intent on keeping him out. For one, he’s very slow and lacks a good far-reaching mid attack, which means he can be easily out-ranged by players with a good handle on space control. Of course, this kind of damage output needs to be tempered somehow, and fortunately, Terminator does have a few glaring weaknesses to balance him out. What’s great is that these combos aren’t even all that hard to land, so if you’re looking for a character with big, satisfyingly damaging combos without a high technical barrier, Terminator might be your man-bot. Pile on one of his relatively simple-to-land Krushing Blows and you’re looking at nearly 50% of your life bar terminated in a single combo, without even bringing in a fatal blow. ![]() For one bar, he can do about 36-38% damage. His damage potential is easily in the upper echelon of Mortal Kombat 11’s roster, especially if he has his Infiltrator Toss air-grab equipped, which is part of his first competitive variation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tip: There is also an access key “S” to smooth curves. This feature will only work if the on-curve point is already close to smooth. If no points are selected it will apply to all points. Right-click one or more on-curve points, which are surrounded by off-curve points, and select Smooth Curves. ![]() Fortunately there is a command that will do just that. It is not always easy to keep an outline smooth around on-curve points. To guarantee smoothness, the on-curve point at which two curves meet must be on the line between the two off-curve points on either side. If you would like to keep the existing curvature, press the Backspace key, then FontCreator will try to keep the remaining contour as equal as possible to the original contour. If you are deleting part of a cubic curve, it is sometimes required to delete adjacent points to ensure that the remaining contour is still a valid cubic-based outline. You can delete part of a contour by selecting one or more points and pressing the Delete key. While holding down Ctrl along with Alt, FontCreator will try to make all selected curves symmetrical. While holding down Ctrl along with Shift, FontCreator will try to make all selected curves smooth. ![]() There are some more advanced options which also only work with cubic curves: FontCreator will then no longer keep smooth curves smooth, thus when you move a single off-curve point which used to be part of a smooth curve, then the opposite off-curve point will no longer move along. Press Alt to ignore the snap to grid and snap to guidelines features.įontCreator will try to maintain smooth cubic curves, but you can override this by holding down Ctrl while moving selected points. To constrain a selection so it moves only horizontally or vertically, press Shift as you drag the selection. You can select one or more points to move them around. Depending on the number of points selected it might also show angle (with a single point) or distance (between two selected points). The status bar shows context specific information, so in point mode it will show the mutual x and/or y position of the selected point(s) coordinate(s). Hold down the Shift key and select points you want to add or remove from the current selection. Use the Ctrl-A shortcut or select Select All from the Edit menu to select all points. To select more than one point hold down the Shift key while clicking on several points or another way is to hold down the left mouse button and drag a rectangle around the points you want to select simultaneously, whether a few or all points in the glyph. If you want to divide a curve into two segments, just click on the curve. To change a curve, just click on the curve segment, and move the mouse to the desired position. To change the start point, right-click a point and select First Point. Select one or more points and then right-click one of them to open a submenu with even more point related features.Įvery contour has a start point with a green mark and an end point with a red mark. There are several operations related to points (move, add, delete, change points to on or off-curve, etc.). Such off-curve points are also known as handles or control points. The smaller circles are off-curve points. The rectangles represent corners, while the large green circles indicate the curve is smooth. It almost has the same interface, but with a larger selection of tools that enable you to build intricate, multi-master fonts.In Point mode the rectangles and the larger green circles represent on-curve points. On the other hand, Glyphs 3 is a high-quality font editor that provides a complete set of features for seasoned designers. It has an easy-to-use interface and a small number of features that let you create basic fonts. It is designed for anyone who wants to experiment with font design. The more straightforward and reasonably priced variant of Glyphs is Glyphs Mini. It comes in two versions, Glyphs Mini and Glyphs 3, each with its own set of features and functionalities. Glyphs is a popular font editor for Mac that allows you to create your own custom typefaces. I’d say that the only downside of Glyphs is that it’s Mac only, meaning that you can’t use it on a Windows computer. Above these benefits, there’s one more, if you want to know something super specific, the community on the forum will usually respond within a couple of hours (sometimes even faster). Not only because we use it in our workshops and courses but also because it’s easy to learn, constantly updated, has lots of helpful plugins, and is very intuitive. Every type designer will tell you that their software is the best and that they like it very much (or hate some parts of it, who knows), but for me, Glyphs is the go-to software to use. ![]() ![]() ![]() There is a one-to-one correspondence between the points in space and the ordered triples in R 3.

Mortal Kombat 12 has been announced in a surprisingly left-of-field fashion: at a Warner Brothers investor call. We were huge fans of 2019's Mortal Kombat 11, awarding the game a 9/10 and saying, "It’s a rare fighting game that hits just about every note as strongly as Mortal Kombat 11 does." Mortal Kombat 12 will launch in the same year as Street Fighter 6, and potentially the same window as Tekken 8, making 2023-24 an exciting time for fighting game fans. In particular, the new characters and fleshed-out. Since the first 'Mortal Kombat' game released in 1992, the series has supported an ever-growing cast of fighters. Mortal Kombat 12 could be starting development soon if two recent job postings from NetherRealm studios are any indication. And, NetherRealm creative director Ed Boon told IGN the team was "working on another game", but he couldn't share exactly what it was at the time. It would make the most sense for NetherRealm to carry over the expansions made with Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11 into Mortal Kombat 12. Discovery casually dropped Mortal Kombat 12 release date. So the filming drew a lot of interested parties, including one 'top gun' A-lister in particular. Mortal Kombat 12 Releasing in 2023, WB Konfirms While PlayStation fans were tuned into the State of Play yesterday, Warner Bros.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process? We will never charge for DLC or introduce any kind of RMT.” The release price may increase to reflect a more substantial and complete product. “The Early Access price is set at a point we think is fair for the game as it is now and respresents great value if you consider the features, content and polish that we intend to add. Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access? While we have much more work ahead of us it already offers a complete and enjoyable experience.” It is absolutely playable, stable and highly optimised. Exanima has already gone through alpha and beta stages with hundreds of testers and our focus has been on quality. “After a successful Kickstarter campaign we have been developing the core game with the support and feedback of an amazing, passionate community. What is the current state of the Early Access version? Exanima itself is a prelude to our even larger open world game Sui Generis, most features will make an appearance in both games bringing the scope of Exanima far beyond what it may appear to be now.” “While Exanima already feels like a complete game there are many defining features yet to be added and the current content represents an introductory stage to a larger, more open and varied setting. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? These include feedback from a wider community and, ultimately, Exanima's success which will determine our budget going forward.” “Around six to nine months, give or take three months! Honestly, we can't provide an exact timeframe as there are many factors involved, some of which are beyond our control. We are doing this thanks to crowd-funding and having reached the point where we have a playable and polished game, Early Access seems like a natural evolution and ideal platform.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

So despite the importance of the code, Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and other pirates constantly try to find ways around rules, sometimes adhering to the letter of the law and sometimes ignoring it in favor of embracing the spirit of piracy. ![]() Sparrow says several times throughout the series that piracy represents freedom - from responsibility, civility and even morals. As a whole, pirates in the films are unrepentant rule-breakers, rebelling against the First British Empire and its strict social conventions. The Pirates Code is inherently contradictory.

![]() I will be learning a lot with this little scope project. When I get the 1.25 focuser do I need to get a larger secondary mirror? I noticed my Celestron secondary (D4.5) is about twice the size as the Tasco's secondary. I was thinking about flocking the tube also since I have it all apart. ![]() Would I want to put one on this mirror? I understand how you trace the mirror and cut and fold the template procedure. I did buy a Orion laser colimator and have the round collimation stickers. I do not have a center mark on it for collimation. It went very smooth and the mirror looks flawless. Mirror cleaning is on the bottom half of that page. Than about 10-15mm in the mirror was real hazy looking. When I took out the mirror and had a good look at it I noticed the towards the outer area of the mirror it was nice and clean. I wanted to make sure there was no rust situations going on. I did disassembled the entire scope to get every little piece of dust out of all the hardware. I looked for that Celestron focuser but was unable to locate one. ![]() Should I just get one from Orion? Thanks for looking and comments. I assume I need to buy one for this size diameter tube. Here are some pics of the mount and scope.Īny suggestions on a focuser for 1-1/4 EPs? I have no idea about doing this. I think it is a pretty good deal for 60.00 what do you think? Other than dropping money on a new focuser and making a pier mount it seems pretty good. As I said I do not have a mount like this and I really wanted to get one.

It also has a 2x Tasco barlow and a Tasco Zoom Eyepiece model #6621. It did come with an extra finder scope and finder scope mount. It does have that small eyepiece focuser. The tube has very minimal scuff marks that I would not even call scratches. The crinkle paint finish looks brand new actually. The mount has a tag on the bottom that says "Japan". I can make some little solid pier mount at work to make it real solid. In good condition though for being that old. The legs are wooden and need some minor hardware.
