It's been a few several quite some years since I last played Adventure Mode, but I'm looking forward to it again. I remember I once made a character with maximum dodging ability, and won fights against an impressive number of opponents by getting them to chase me until I had my back to a cliff or pool of water, then getting them to bull-rush me and leaping aside at the last second. :happy:

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere is still enough left of my 8 year old self to insist that that dinosaur she's riding is not a parasaurolophus.

I was gonna say the same thing; it looks more like a carnotaurus [External Link] with those horns. It's especially weird because in the video, at the 30 second mark, you can see someone riding what pretty clearly seems like it's meant to be a blue parasaurolophus. :unsure:

A review I read on RPS suggested that there wasn't much overlap between the "monster battling" and "cozy farming sim" sides of the game, and that it was sort of a missed opportunity. Anyone who's played it have any thoughts on that? I like the idea, but I'm not quite sold on the game yet.

"This'll just be a small update for modders," Eric Barrone said. "Trust me," Eric Barrone said.

OK, he probably didn't say that last part. And as a developer I know all about feature creep… :grin:

Seems like a neat idea! I'll keep an eye on it as it develops.

Sea pigs [External Link]! (The pink holothurians.) And barreleye [External Link] fish with the sea-through heads! Dumbo octopuses! Angler fish! :woot:

I didn't pick up the second expansion (though I did enjoy the first one), but this one might get me back into the game – I've always loved the deep sea environment. For anyone who hasn't played Megaquarium, it's a solid, well-built and highly polished game that I can easily recommend if you enjoy the "zoo building" genre but want something aquatic-themed.

Quoting: RomlokMost people who are dissatisfied with something just quietly take their business elsewhere.

Yeah, it's easy to denounce Unity when your games aren't made with it (as the Terraria devs did). For all those developers out there currently making a living off games made in Unity? They just realized they had a tiger by the tail, and one willing to retroactively change deals on them (and for all Unity's protestations of "Oh we won't do it again" I doubt many people are buying it at this point). I imagine that a lot of developers weren't in favor of the changes, but didn't want to further provoke the tiger by speaking out (short of a court order, it's not like Unity had to walk back the changes after all), and have been looking into ways to safely disengage from it as quickly as possible.

1€ Filter: Smoothed low level gyro noise without adding delay.

What does a "1€ Filter" mean? Is that some technical term I haven't heard of? :huh:

It's either that they bought a filter that only cost them €1... or it's mojibake for a "first order filter." They have had mojibake in their patch notes before.

I haven't heard the term mojibake before, but I think I can figure it out from context. :smile: That was my second thought, which I almost included in the post, but thought "Nah, it can't be that simple…"

Hopefully this is a better deal for all the people with Unity games on the market or in advanced stages of completion. But I'd be surprised if we don't see a wave of people switching engines in future, and maybe even porting over their already-on-the-market games to new engines.

Pirates vs. Ninjas Fest: January 22 - 29

Hopefully Mimimi stay in business long enough for this, since most of their games would fit. Shadow Gambit [External Link] even has a pirate crew member who is a ninja! :grin:
