asymmetric publications is a video game developer and publisher .

it is responsible for the web-based role-playing game kingdom of loathing .

currently , asymmetric is run by zack johnson ( who is known as jick in the game ) .

employees of the company are known as the asymmetric team .

as a result of the popularity of the game , asymmetric currently supports johnson and a few other individuals as full-time employees .

in the past , asymmetric publications hosted various games and other attractions , including infinity plus one , an online fortune teller , bee on drugs , a bee who talks about the most random things imaginable , and krakrox the barbarian , a game widely noted as the precursor to the popular kingdom of loathing .

a running gag was that the asymmetric publications ' website was not updated for almost six years after the announcement of a " fun new game , " kingdom of loathing .

in late 2008 , it began to be updated again .

the employees of asymmetric publications produce several weekly podcasts .

one of them is related to kingdom of loathing , while the others are general shows about video games , pop culture , advice , and parenting .

these latter podcasts are collected under an umbrella called the hot dog network .

a second game , word realms was developed between 2008 and 2012 , and was released on may 21 , 2013 .

in 2016 , a third game , west of loathing , was announced on steam greenlight .

it is set for release in august 2017 .

johnson and josh
mr . skullhead
nite . the urltoken website originally played host to an archive of bad jokes and a modest collection of java games such as
infinity plus one ,
dancing tonto !
and the realistically futile
quest for schlitz
.
since 2011 , the asymmetric staff have branched out into podcasts not directly related to the company ' s own games , including video games hot dog and advice hot dog .
lovely . but i ' m actually here to inform you that its developer asymmetric publications has announced a new game : west of loathing . as you might have guessed from the title , it ' s set in the west country , and sees you drinking cider instead of health potions , and . . . no , wait , it ' s set in the wild west . the american one with all the cowboys and the farting and the beans . here ' s a teaser trailer :
west of loathing is an upcoming adventure rpg from asymmetric ( makers of the kingdom of loathing ) , due out in early 2017 . we were greenlit in just 9 days - - thanks so much for your votes and kind . . .
we just made this new asymmetric account to launch word realms , but the developers have individual accounts , and have backed a bunch of projects ( looks like around 30 different ones so far ) . plus we pledge to
kick it forward
in the future .
on february 11 , 2003 a new browser - based adventure game called kingdom of loathing was announced on the site . the game launched on february 23rd . the needs of hosting and maintaining the mmorpg grew to the point that several members of the game ' s community were hired on as permanent staff . as of 2012 , kingdom of loathing remains asymmetric ' s primary source of revenue and continues to see periodic content updates .
when not developing games , zack and various members of the asymmetric team produce and host a variety of weekly podcasts . starting in 2004 , they began hosting live talk shows on kingdom of loathing ' s unofficial shoutcast radio channel . these twice - weekly programs include 120 minutes of jick & mr . skullhead , a podcast dedicated to addressing player questions and news of the kingdom , though usually the topic is derailed very early on .
word realms , a word game rpg , became asymmetric ' s second major project . development began around 2008 , and a preview of the game was first made public at dragoncon 2010 . in 2012 , the company successfully funded the completion of the single - player version of word realms on kickstarter , gathering over $ 121 , 000 . the company has suggested that an online multiplayer version of word realms may be the next stage of development , if there is sufficient interest .
the scarcity of good word puzzles on pc is a scandal i tell you . but coming along to rescue this situation are the two fine men behind kingdom of loathing . word realms looks like exactly the right game to exist , an rpg in which you use the magic of spelling to cast spells and magic . with a story ! so , it’s a bit bookworm adventures , clearly , and that is only a good thing , because popcap keep making more bloody match - 3 games instead of only generating me more bookworm adventures , as should obviously be their singular task . word realms has been secretly in development for a few years , and is due to be released this october . and there’s inevitably a kickstarter .
i’m frankly astonished that a kickstarter from the kol people wouldn’t instantly get its target quadrupled in the first half hour , but instead it’s modestly crept to $ 40k of its $ 100 , 000 goal . with 29 days to go , it seems reasonable to expect it will get there . but get where ?
originally intended as a single - player prototype for an mmo , the project has taken four years so far ( developed alongside the upkeep of kol ) , including eight mini - games , puzzles , cutscenes and extras , as well as an endless mode for when the multiple - ending story is over . and that project is almost done . so why the kickstarter ? because the mmo plan is still in place . soooo , this is slightly weirdly a fundraiser for the online version , in which the minimum pledge tier is $ 11 , paying for the solo game . pay more and you can get in the beta . then they’ll take reaching their $ 100k as a sign that it’s worth pursuing the more elaborate version of the game , and use the funding to pay for that . and they’re making plans for what they’d do if they reached 400 % funding , so clearly they’re optimistic .

i think now is a good time to strap on my asshat and return to the kingdom of loathing .
do they still delete inactive accounts ? that’s the only thing that keeps me from getting back to it .
they don’t delete any accounts that have mr . accessory ( or related ) items .
i love these people . i think this will be the first thing i help kickstart .
dear god… $ 100 , 000 for a half - assed flash game ? just look at that art… horrible .
yeah , that’s basically terrible . hopefully they spend the kickstarter money on art .
i’d suggest not bagging on the art style until you’ve seen the video . if you have watched it and still don’t like it , then fine ! : ) but give it that chance at least . ( also , just watch the damn video anyway , even if you couldn’t care one way or the other about the aesthetic . )
wow i didn’t think the animation could be worse then the art but it actually is . no real animation at all with just animation tweens on their horribly drawn assets . $ 100 , 000 really ?
check out : link to urltoken modest budget , cool game , and they’re stats have them generally more popular than most the kickstarters around their tier .
how can you avoid cybernetic rocket powered laser sharks ? it’s like they’re the “ron paul” of kickstarter right now .
you guys do know that you sound like a slightly misguided attempt to emulate proper enthusiasm in the name of pr , don’t you ? either it might be because it is , or you have been watching even more commercials on nickelelodeon than i have .
( don’t want to be rude . it’s just that i think you’d better told john about it , so he can include it in his round - up… looks like a bit of an attempt to hijack the post otherwise . )
or maybe it is my way to say : could we get back to talking about words ? i love words , and so should you . you can even make laser - sharks out of them !
was not trying to be all pry , to be fair i just wanted to point out a project that i feel is being over looked oozo .
i think it’s a great change of pace for some of the games on kickstarters . it’s been awhile since there has had something like “the typing of the dead” , and i would love to see something like this get more adopted in educational settings . i think they are doing great , and hope they do well .
“bookworm adventures” anyone ? that was a perfect game . this one , however … hmmmm . i must admit that i don’t like the graphics either .
stickman mmo kingdom of loathing has been going since 2003 , and i ' m just going to stop and think about how wonderful that is for a moment .
west of loathing is being described as an
adventure rpg
, and you can see what that means in the above video . basically , it means dialogue , sidescrolling , turn - based battles , comedy , and other exciting things .
west of loathing will be out
early 2017

update : we made a video to give you a basic idea of the gameplay . here it is , showing some fights , a mini - game , and various other elements of the rpg play :
also : here ' s a link to the kickstarter - exclusive t - shirt design , and links to info on game features like milestones & zombies , items , player and monster skills , gentleman clack , gramlins , and subjunctors . and now , back to our regularly scheduled project description . . .
well , you may be a bit mentally disturbed , but you ' d also probably love our new game , word realms . we ' ve been developing it slowly over the past few years , and it ' s close to completion . and now we ' d like you to get involved !
if you ' ve heard of us before , it ' s probably because of our awesome ( yet humble ) web - based roleplaying game called kingdom of loathing . we ' ve been adding content to kol nigh - constantly for nine years , and while we don ' t have any intention of stopping , we also want to make something new . since we seem to be decent at writing things that are funny , we figured that a word game would be a great project .
we decided to make a massively multiplayer online rpg where you ' d fight by making words out of letter tiles ( like a fisticuffs scrabble , without a board ) . first , though , we thought we should make a single - player version of word realms to ensure that it was fun and worth doing . what was imagined as a six - month task has turned into a four - year project — partly because we could only work on it half - or quarter - time ( kol soaks up a lot of our creative juices ) , and partly because the scope just kept creeping up and up .
we added one word - based mini - game , and then another , and then another , and now we have . . . eight ? we crafted puzzles , included cutscenes , hid some easter eggs , and commissioned an ever - increasing amount of awesome music ( by gaby alter , who is also known as gminor7 from mc frontalot ' s band ) . we expanded the storyline , added multiple endings , and made an
endless
mode where you fight ever - tougher opponents and get cool randomly - generated loot .
the time has come to wrap it up , and get started on the real goal — making an mmo . and this is where you come in ! if we ' re going to commit to making a word realms mmo , we need to know that people are as psyched about the idea as we are . show your support by pledging at least $ 11 , and you ' ll be able to download the single - player word realms game before it goes on sale to the riff - raff known as the
general public
. or , if you want to leave a personal mark on word realms , you can back us at a higher level , and get some cool shwag in the process !
if we reach our funding goal , we ' ll know that a bunch of real people with real wallets believe in us enough to move forward . if we surpass our funding goal , we can hire more artists and programmers , and make the mmo a reality even faster . every $ 50 , 000 could be one new person ' s salary for a year !
if we reach 200 % funding , we will add some awesome easter eggs to the game . i don ' t want to spoil too much , but maybe these mock - ups will give you an idea of what we ' re thinking :
if we get all the way up to 400 % funding , we ' ll commit to hiring someone to port the game to ipad , and maybe other tablets as well . if we get that far , and you have an ipad , we ' ll try to figure out how to get you a copy if you support the kickstarter .
since no one has asked anything yet , we don ' t have a faq . thus , these are nominal utility tidbits staged as questions .
word realms will be delivered digitally , drm - free . it ' d be swell if you didn ' t pirate it , because that ' d be a kick right in the nutsaq . it should be playable on pc , mac , and probably linux unless you ' ve got some crazy distro whose interface is a pocketwatch or something .
oh , i almost forgot to mention one of the coolest things about the game ! in addition to all the story and standard descriptive stuff , we ' ve written tons of humorous
taunts
that players and npcs say during fights based on the words that are used to attack . one of our goals is to write something amusing for most common english words ! we already have several thousand done , and more will be written by october .
unlike our video , the game will not be voiced . which is good , because we are terrible voice actors . also , those animated mouths are kinda creepy .
sure ! a little bit is playing in the background of our video , and here ' s a sample of the main theme .
you will gain access to the word realms beta test ( and listed in the credits as a tester ) , and a copy of the game when it ' s done . as a special memento of the summer we spent beta - testing together , we ' ll also give you a cool item in the finished game .
you will get an in - game item in the kingdom of loathing exclusive to backers of this kickstarter , access to the word realms beta test and the special beta - tester item , be listed in the credits as a supporter of the game , and receive a copy of word realms when it ' s finished .
you will be listed as a sexy supporter of the game ( you know what they say about people with a bigger font size ) , plus the exclusive kol in - game item , plus beta access and special beta - tester item , plus a copy of word realms ( that ' s triple - plus good ) ! also , we will personally thank you in a future episode of the video games hot dog podcast . hear your name in lights !
you will get an exclusive word realms t - shirt made just for backers of this kickstarter . and everything that $ 69 will get you , too ( if you know what i mean ) .
you will get a lovingly hand - crafted cd ( or two ) with music from the game , plus some other awesome songs by the composer , gaby alter . plus everything from the $ 110 backer level .

the boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output ( i/o ) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards ( shields ) and other circuits .

the boards feature serial communications interfaces , including universal serial bus ( usb ) on some models , which are also used for loading programs from personal computers .

the microcontrollers are typically programmed using a dialect of features from the programming languages c and c++ .

in addition to using traditional compiler toolchains , the arduino project provides an integrated development environment ( ide ) based on the processing language project .

the arduino project started in 2003 as a program for students at the interaction design institute ivrea in ivrea , italy , aiming to provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators .

common examples of such devices intended for beginner hobbyists include simple robots , thermostats , and motion detectors .

the name arduino comes from a bar in ivrea , italy , where some of the founders of the project used to meet .

the bar was named after arduin of ivrea , who was the margrave of the march of ivrea and king of italy from 1002 to 1014 .

arduino llc and arduino srl ( formerly smart projects srl ) are both italian companies . arduino llc owns the trademark everywhere but italy , while arduino srl owns the italian trademark .
currently , arduino srl continues to be the only designer and manufacturer of original arduino® products .
three different boards are referred to in this article : the original arduino uno board , arduino uno revision 2 and arduino uno revision 3 .
arduino ide is developed and maintained by the arduino team . the ide is licensed under gpl .
go to the arduino download page and download the latest version of the arduino software for windows .
go to the arduino download page and download the latest version of the arduino software for mac .
the problem is that arduino is an idea and arduino llc is the parent of that idea . however the “official” product is made by arduino srl .
the two stand “arduino” present at the maker faire in san mateo : top , arduino . cc , below , the stand of arduino . org .
the “arduino srl is only and true arduino” should be bogus . however , arduino llc is not real arduino also . either companies are the * half * of arduino . what we called arduino was a joint business with two companies , where smart projects srl was in charge of hardware design and manufacturing and arduino llc was in charge of software development .
it’s really easy , whoever has been cashing my checks made out to “arduino” is the real arduino .
the arduino branding was not formally registered as a trademark in the early days , however . arduino llc
and now arduino srl ( arduino . org ) may have added a gpl violation to their accomplishments .

the arduino playground linux section is a great resource for figuring out any problems with your arduino installation .
arduino based robotic arm : the arduino based robotic arm project is a simple robotics project which uses the arduino board to control the robotic arm . we can move this arm by sending commands through arduino .
from what i’ve read the founder who is part of arduino sel registered the arduino name in italy early in the life of arduino and didn’t tell the founders until years later . since all were friends it looked like the name was in safe hands . arduino srl were a licenced manufacture of the arduino so arduino llc got a licence free for each arduino sold . arduino srl is the ‘made in italy’ manufacturer .
wiimote controlled espresso machine arduino : this project is a simple arduino based coffee machine . the arduino will control the espresso machine by using a wii remote .
since early 2015 , arduino — not the arduino community , but the organization known as arduino — has been split in half . arduino llc sued arduino srl for trademark infringement . the case began when arduino srl , formerly smart projects srl and manufacturers of the arduino boards with a tiny map of italy on the silk screen , began selling under the arduino name . arduino llc , on the other hand , wanted to internationalize the brand and license production to other manufacturers .
is a full featured arduino - compatible that includes the vast majority of the functionality of the arduino duemilanove .
this article shows the differences between the arduino uno and the arduino uno revision 2 and revision 3 boards .
arduino , the world’s leading open - source ecosystem for educators , makers and iot developers of all ages , today announced that arduino llc ( aka arduino . cc ) and arduino srl ( aka arduino . org ) have settled their differences and signed a settlement agreement .

arduino bluetooth android to arduino communication : this project is based on both the android and arduino , which lets you to control your arduino kit by using the bluetooth of the android smart phone . to communicate with the arduino , android need an interface , android . by using this interface , android sends the text commands to arduino .
ide every time . i see example code and libraries and support forums . and when i hear this hot new internet of things board is arduino compatible i think programming via the ide , not the mechanical layout of the pins . you can build arduino projects without arduino brand boards but you cannot build arduino projects without the arduino ide . the arduino community could move forward without another board ever shipped with the arduino logo on the silkscreen . but remove the arduino ide and there is no longer arduino .
the arduino ethernet has a number of facilities for communicating with a computer , another arduino , or other microcontrollers .
optiboot is an easy to install upgrade to the arduino bootloader within arduino boards . it provides the following features :
xxxxxx for arduino - products that work with official arduino boards ( e . g . shields or kits ) .

the usb connection is also how you will load code onto your arduino board . more on how to program with arduino can be found in our installing and programming arduino tutorial .
please look for keywords like ' arduino compatible ' or ' uno for arduino ' while buying online , because if the boards look like original arduino , they are mostly fake .
a typical example of the arduino board is arduino uno . it includes an atmega328 microcontroller and it has 28 - pins
arduino - controlled robotic drum : this arduino based project is used as drummer , controlled by the arduino . artificial sticks are moved according to the music and play the drum . the movement of the sticks are controlled by the arduino .
because we don’t build the uno . we pay arduino llc royalties for the official arduino boards we build . any royalties on the uno would be via an agreement between arduino llc and arduino srl since they build them . our relationship with arduino srl is that of a supplier , not a collaborator .
shields are boards that can be plugged on top of the arduino printed circuit board ( pcb ) to extend its capabilities . the different shields follow the same philosophy as the original toolkit : they are easy to mount , and cheap to produce . mouser electronics lists original arduino and arduino certified products as “arduino . ” arduino shields are grouped according to which boards they are compatible with . not all arduino shields are compatible with all arduino boards . the arduino certified program is designed for companies using processors not currently supported by arduino who want to certify a basic level of compatibility with the arduino platform .

if you’re not sure which serial device is your arduino , take a look at the available ports , then unplug your arduino and look again . the one that disappeared is your arduino .
it’s clear to me that the model from the earliest days was that arduino llc would license out the arduino branding to board builders . arduino srl was merely the first . now they are claiming they are the “only” and the “one true arduino . ”

although an arduino board is , as the arduino team states , just a basic atmel avr development board , it is the arduino software environment that sets it apart . this is the common experience for all arduino users , and the cornerstone of the arduino concept . chapter 5 covers the arduino ide , the libraries supplied with the ide , and the bootloader . chapter 6 describes the process of creating software for an avr mcu without using the arduino ide .
easy solution : arduino lcc adds an entry to the license of the arduino software that forbids it to run on boards made by arduino srl . this will of cours not stop anyone from doing so , but this would put srl in a pickle since they are the “real” arduino but cannot ( oficcialy ) run arduino software !
web based servo controlled arduino : the web based servo controller project is designed based on arduino . the speed of the servo motor is monitored by arduino , and by connecting this arduino to the web server ( using our computer ) we can control its speed .

arduino wi - fi shield - this is the arduino ethernet shield sans wires . this shield can get your arduino connected to a wifi router , so it can host webpages and scour the internet .
arduino srl produces all the boards that users buy . so , in my opinion , has the right to say that it is “arduino”
there’s nothing stopping you from adding the arduino libraries to your project and using all the arduino functions , although i’ve never done that .
a : yes , new software and new products are the life blood of arduino® . recently new products , arduino® zero pro , arduino® , 9 axes shield partnership with bosch and many more are coming .
arduino shields are boards that will expand the functionalities of your arduino . you just need to plug them over the top of the arduino board . there are countless types of shields to do countless tasks .
in conclusion , arduino srl’s letter to its distributors seems to essentially follow the line of reasoning in their trademark lawsuit in the us against arduino llc : since arduino srl is doing the manufacturing and using the arduino name , they’re the true arduino . whether or not this will stand up in court , or whether arduino llc can make its case that srl was simply a licensed manufacturer , remains to be seen .
- arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms . the least expensive version of the arduino module can be assembled by hand , and even the pre - assembled arduino modules cost less than $ 50
the original arduino hardware is manufactured by the italian company smart projects . some arduino - branded boards have been designed by t . . .
any other arduino board , except that the official arduino logo and silkscreen graphics are missing . other hardware - compatible products might not look anything like a typical arduino board , but do provide the pin sockets in the correct arrangement for using a standard arduino - type shield board .
i made that statement because i do not think you should be purchasing from arduino srl who is not paying royalties to arduino llc and intentionally tearing down arduino llc . you obviously agree that arduino llc is in the right , because you are paying royalties on the other products to arduino llc . so i would prefer that sparkfun ditch a scoundrel .

our arduino library means one line of code and the table comes to life .
newer , smaller android and windows tablets make great hack and pack arduino programmers .
in addition to the various board types designed or sanctioned by arduino . cc , there are many devices that are either hardware compatible or software compatible . what makes these devices arduino compatible is that they incorporate the arduino bootloader ( or something that works like it ) , and they can be programmed with the arduino ide by selecting the appropriate compatible arduino board type from the ide’s drop - down list .

excel arduino remote ( proof of concept ) : this project shows the concept of connecting arduino to the excel sheet . a step by step procedure is explained here .
i also expect that the two versions of the classic arduino ide will be merged . the code is mostly the same ( though the urltoken version sometimes lagged a bit ) but the included board support is different . ( that leads to the problem that is impossible to have a single arduino installation that supports all the available arduino products without some extra work . ) a few new options will be good to have , such as supporting both the arduino m0 pro with its original bootloader and arduino m0 pro boards that have been reflashed with the arduino zero bootloader from arduino . cc .
while this is sad it is time to spark a revolution in the arduino world and arduino needs to move to arm in the long run . now is the time for arduino to start up a whole new line of arduino’s and bring the arm’s into full light . i don’t believe that arduino can survive as just an ide . it needs both the hardware and software to stay strong for the future to come .
