    Coming out next week is the Terra Nil game on Nintendo Switch and PC where you are given the task of bringing back a planet that is basically a baron wasteland to life through terraforming and building a civilisation.

    In Terra Nil you must plan ahead, the decisions that you make today will have an impact on the future, what will your legacy be? Do you take into consideration the environmental impact over the costs of building a civilisation or plan for the long term by carefully planing your civilisation to grow in harmony with the planet?

    Classic Ebenezer and the Invisible World

    The festive season is fast approaching, so what better time could there be than to launch a game based on the classic Christmas story by Charles Dickens? This is Ebenezer and the Invisible World a hand-drawn game that takes you through the streets of Victorian London on a mission to save the people who live and work in the city.

    We know that in the classic story, Ebenezer Scrooge is haunted by ghosts in the hope that they change him for the better, in the Ebenezer and the Invisible World game Scrooge is now a hero working with the ghosts to save the city and the people that he now loves, but it is not always as easy as it might sound at first.

  • PAC-MAN Drone Display Over New York City

    PAC-MAN Drone Display Over New York City

    There is no doubt that drones are very useful and in some cases such as this event that took place over New York City drones can put on a fantastic light show. The event was for the Pac-Man Shine On event campaign and of course, the Pac-Man Chomp Chops game, but this event was all about just being spectacular and as you would expect, it was simply brilliant.

    It is amazing what can be done with drones, lights and a little technology these days, this display simply shows how all this technology brought together in a fantastic location such as New York City can produce a wonderful and lifelike Pac-Man display in the night sky.

  • Welcome to the Foundry

    Welcome to the Foundry

    The Foundry is open and as it is fully automated so all that is needed here is a little bit of maintenance now and then in order to keep the machine running smoothly. However, it is not as easy as it sounds, because mechanical things tend to break down and then everything is delayed, which is not what the Foundry has been designed for.

    With the Foundry game you play on your own or with friends, you must plan the expansion of the self-sustaining plant where machines are building machines. If you are not sure about the game, no problem as you can try out the demo for free on Steam from October 9th to October 16th, get ready for the Foundry.

  • Starfield Creators Go To Space Camp

    Starfield Creators Go To Space Camp

    Sometimes you have to wonder where game developers get their ideas from, do they just pluck them from thin air or as in the case of the creative team behind the new Starfield game go to the famous Space Camp in Alabama to find out just what it is like to be space, it’s a great idea to get hands-on experience and get understand the dynamics of space travel.

    Starfield launches on the 6th of September where players will be able to experience a massive universe where they can create a character and embark on a journey of exploration, discovery and maybe even come across ancient treasures that have been long forgotten.

  • The Power of Pixel and Prose: Technical Skills for Careers in the Gaming and Sci-Fi Movie Industry

    Immersive landscapes, epic space adventures, and cutting-edge technology all come together in the fantastical realms of the gaming and sci-fi movie industries. As digital entertainment continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, these sectors present exciting opportunities for those armed with the right skill set. This blog post will delve into the key technical skills that can open the doors to these dynamic industries.

     

    1. Computer Programming:

     

    In both the gaming and sci-fi movie industry, programming is foundational. It’s the magic behind the scenes that brings digital worlds to life. Mastery of languages such as C++, Python, and Java, as well as understanding gaming engines like Unity or Unreal Engine, is vital.

     

    2. Graphic Design and 3D Modelling:

     

    The visual aesthetics of games and movies play a significant role in capturing audiences’ imaginations. Skills in graphic design and 3D modelling, using tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Blender or Maya, are crucial in creating stunning visuals and immersive environments.

     

    3. Animation:

     

    Animation breathes life into characters and scenarios. Professionals skilled in creating animation sequences using software like Cinema 4D or Autodesk’s 3ds Max are highly sought after in the industry.

     

    4. Audio Engineering:

     

    Sound design enhances the immersive experience of a game or movie. Skills in audio engineering, including sound effect creation, music composition, and audio post-production using tools like Pro Tools or Logic Pro X, are invaluable.

     

    5. Special Effects:

     

    In the realm of sci-fi movies, special effects (SFX) take centre stage. Knowledge of SFX software like After Effects or Nuke can allow you to craft spectacular visual spectacles that define sci-fi cinematography.

     

    6. Scripting and Narrative Design:

     

    Beyond the technical, storytelling is an essential part of game design and sci-fi movies. The ability to weave engaging narratives and develop compelling characters is an invaluable skill. Familiarity with scripting software, such as Final Draft or Celtx, can help structure your storytelling.

     

    7. Virtual and Augmented Reality:

     

    As VR and AR technologies advance, they are increasingly used in gaming and filmmaking. Understanding these technologies and how to integrate them into a user experience is a cutting-edge skill that sets professionals apart.

     

    The demand for these technical skills translates into rewarding salary prospects. In fact, careers in the gaming and sci-fi movie industries often offer compensation packages higher than the UK average salary.

     

    In conclusion, the gaming and sci-fi movie industries represent exciting arenas where technical proficiency meets creative imagination. By honing these technical skills, you are not just equipping yourself for a viable career path. You are stepping into a world where you create new realities, ignite adventures, and ultimately – wield the power of pixel and prose to captivate and inspire audiences across the globe.

  • Marauders Excavation Update Mine Frigate Comparison

    The Marauders game is one of those games that seems to have been around for a long time and yet it hasn’t, but what it has done is evolve over its short life. The developers have taken great care to ensure that the game is always at its best and just to prove this there is a great video that compares the early version to the current version.

    The video is a good way of showing the differences over time, which is a good thing as in some games the publishers seem to stretch out updates for as long as possible. No matter what you think of Marauders as a game, you have to give it credit that this is a challenging game and with the latest update comes a new boss to defeat, which is always a good thing.
