Tarot Cards and Character Creation

Tarot cards are traditionally used in fortune telling, but they are also deeply connected to the Ogre Battle series, and Tactics Ogre is no exception. One particularly important role they play is in character creation. During character creation, after the player chooses a date of birth for the protagonist, Denam, they will be posed questions from several of the 22 tarot cards known as the major arcana. Denam’s initial stats will be determined according to the answers to these questions.

Elemental Gods and Divine Protection
The elemental system from the original Tactics Ogre will be revived in Tactics Ogre: Reborn. There are a total of eight elements: fire, water, wind, earth, darkness, light, lightning, and ice. Here are each of the Gods in the elemental pantheon:
Xoshonell, Goddess of FireGreuza, Goddess of WaterNestharot, Goddess of LightningVaasa, Goddess of EarthHahnela, Goddess of AirIshtar, Goddes of LightAshmedai, God of Darkness
As the final part of character creation, Denam’s element will be determined by selecting which god appears in the myth of Xytegenia he should seek protection from. Units other than Denam will also have a set element.
Matching a unit’s element with the element of the magic or weapon they use will allow them to unleash even greater power. For example, if a fire-element wizard uses fire-element offensive magic, it will inflict greater damage. Elements also have particular elements that they are stronger or weaker against –for example, the wind is strong against earth, and earth is strong against lightning.
Branching Narrative and Multiple Endings

Tactics Ogre Reborn features a branching story with multiple endings, where the developments in the story and its eventual conclusion will depend on the player’s choices.
The story unfolds from the perspective of a young man named Denam, the game’s main character. The destinies of those he meets and the history of Valeria will be shaken by the decisions he finds himself compelled to take. All kinds of shocking developments await the player, from characters who turn from friend to foe if the player’s actions go against their beliefs, to the chance for encounters with entirely new characters.
Units and Classes

In Tactics Ogre, the protagonist, Denam, will become the leader of his own order of knights. The individuals comprising this order who fight alongside Denam are known as units.
These units have a wide variety of classes, each with different abilities. Units primarily grow and become stronger by defeating enemies or being victorious in battle, purchasing equipment from shops, or learning magic.
The stats gained when leveling up are different for each class, with each class having its own characteristics –for example, intellect (INT) will increase more easily for a wizard, while a berserker will find it easier to increase strength (STR) and a knight vitality (VIT). Who will you make an ally, and in which class will you train them?
Battle System

When you move into a location on the world map where enemies are present, you will enter battle. After selecting which units from Denam’s order will participate and determining their formation, your troops will deploy. After they deploy, allied and enemy troops will be placed on the battlefield and the battle begins.
Tactics Ogre does not use a turn-based system. Instead, each unit acts in the order that their Recovery Time (RT) reaches 0. RT is calculated based on equipment weight, class, and actions taken –the order in which each unit acts continually changes, allowing you to enjoy battles with a deep sense of realism that fuses advanced strategy and intense drama as attack and defense by friend and foe interweave one another.

Tactics Ogre Reborn is an HD Remaster of the PSP game Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which itself is a remake of a Super Famicom game of the same name.
The game will be released for the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC on the 11th of November.

Super Nintendo World, Nintendo’s Theme Park will launch in Osaka!

Super Nintendo World Theme Park Releases Music Video
A Nintendo theme park is no longer just a pipe-dream. (Heh, get it?) Super Nintendo World is a huge upcoming expansion to Universal Studios Japan, costing over $351 million to build.

The first we heard about it was announced in 2015 on Business Insider, and information on the has gradually trickled in. Nintendo has just released a music video featuring Charlie XCX, titled We Are Born to Play, check it out!

The first version of Super Nintendo World will open in Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. First announced in 2015, Super Nintendo World is set for completion in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. In 2017, Universal Studios Japan held a ceremony in Osaka to mark the beginning of construction.
A shot from the Super Nintendo World Music Video

For now, it seems that the main theme will feature Mario. It also seems that Peach’s castle and Bowser’s castle will be central to the design. Based on the music video and other sources, the theme park should heavily feature digital AR and VR elements. This would allow people to interact with various Mario themed powerups like Fire Flowers. There might also be a mix of traditional media for things like pipes and question mark blocks.

It looks like it’ll be combining the team’s previous experience working on The Evil within with the more Japanese-style horror similar to that of the Fatal Frame games just instead of a small haunted village, you’ve got the whole of modern Tokyo to get through.
It is certainly an interesting take on more Japanese urban horror and all those techno-psychedelic visuals look gorgeous.
The game is currently releasing on the PS5 and PC however as Tango Gameworks was recently bought out by Microsoft vie the Bethesda Purchase, it is likely that the game will only be timed exclusive and will come to the Xbox consoles later on.
Ghostwire Tokyo will release in 2022.

Dungeon RPG for smartphones announced by Spike Chunsoft

Out of the blue, Japan-based development studio, Spike Chunsoft sent out a press release teasing the imminent release of a dungeon RPG in Japan.

Unfortunately, no details pertaining to the game were released, not even its title. That said, the press release contained an image and catchphrase suggesting that we may be looking at a port of the 2006-released Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for DS. The character above is Oryu, one of the many cast members from the game in question.
The catchphrase goes “depth in that it cannot be played entirely even in 1,000 playthroughs,” is the same one used to promote the release of the DS game, which is still on the official website.

Tower of Fantasy gets December 2021 release date

Following its “ultimate test” earlier this November, Tower of Fantasy is set for a 16 December release date in China. This is a sci-fi open world RPG developed by Hotta Studio using Unreal Engine 4. You can easily compare it to Genshin Impact, or hell, even call it a clone.

Perfect World plans to launch its new open world MMOARPG, Tower of Fantasy, on December 16 in China.

Often compared to Genshin Impact, the sci-fi themed game is developed on UE4 for mobile and PC.

As its release date looms, Tower of Fantasy has been under some scrutiny, with poor initial response and concerns on unaddressed bugs, “bad gacha elements”, and “identity crisis”. A global release is said to be in the works, but it does not appear to be a simultaneous release at this juncture. Publisher Perfect World is also has other projects in the wings, new versions of Perfect World Online notwithstanding.

Supposedly, this release is being rushed as their publication certificate is close to expiring and Perfect World is pushing to recoup some of their investment. The concerns and feedback from the “ultimate test” have apparently been addressed for release, but we will have to wait and see how far this is true.
The description for the game on TapTap is given as follows:
Tower of Fantasy is a 3D immersive open-world handheld game developed by Hotta Studio. It combines de-labeled characterization, film and television-grade motion capture, high-freedom world exploration, and a scrappy sci-fi art style with a variety of scenes, interactive puzzle elements, and fast combat feel, to tell you a post-apocalyptic story of rescue and destruction.Unreal 4 engine creates 2500*2500 seamless world, motion capture system gives the character real dynamic, various scenes interaction can be used for everything, low threshold, high depth, high refreshing operation system precisely meet the needs of all levels, careless action can trigger the hidden plot, gradually unlock the secret behind the main story.

Unfortunately, no details regarding SINoALICE’s story nor gameplay has been revealed as of yet, although it is heavily suggested from the trailer that it will feature fairy tale characters such as Alice, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood. In fact, we have made a character introduction report for the game. In any case, if we are going to hazard a guess, SINoALICE is going to be some form of roleplaying title, as it makes the most sense given the platforms the game will be released on, in addition to the rather sizeable cast list.

Out of Hands: Unveiling a card-based psychological thriller

XD Inc has released the announcement trailer for Out of Hands, a blend of card game, video collage and psychological thriller exploring the manifestation of inner conflicts. The publisher’s latest project of provocative visuals and dreamlike storytelling can be wishlisted on Steam, with pre-registrations available on TapTap.

Creator Zeyu Yang came up with the game during a 48-hour game jam around capture in 2021, the early prototype taking home Best Game and Best Creative Direction. Yang has expressed that the game is an intimate reflection of his struggles to capture reality as a solo dev for over a decade, as well as the dissociation that came with it.

The presentation is striking at once, thanks to the use of live-action visuals. The protagonist, and a majority of the in-game items, are animated out of real-life photographs of Yang’s hands. Upon realizing that trembling hands and wiggly fingers have taken on a life of their own in this frightening dream world, the player must navigate through a series of negative emotions and deeply repressed memories to escape back to reality.

Manipulate a pair of hands to interact with item cards and protect the heart from incoming threats; use rulers, pens, erasers, etc. to block damage from Panic, or launch devastating attacks against Remorse. Emotions become progressively more complex to keep the player on their toes (or fingers?) and must be strategically dealt with, and every conscious victory will start to chip away at the inner demons.
Out of Hands has no release date yet, but a playable demo will be available during the October Steam Next Fest. You can join the official Discord and follow the game on Twitter for development updates.

A monster ends up swallowing the entire Minato Ward… and in the year 2049, Tokyo has been cut off from the rest of Japan and the world. The story is also said to be based on Dante’s “Divine Comedy”.

FBI Are Investigating The Hacker That Allegedly Caused The GTA 6 Leak

After the leak of roughly 90 clips of unreleased Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6 footage, the hacker allegedly responsible for the leak is now being investigated by the FBI.

The Hacker who went by the username of “teapotuberhacker” is believed to be a 16-year-old boy from the UK who is the leader of a hacking group called Lapsus$. The group is also responsible for recently hacking the taxi-hailing service Uber. Uber updated their blog about the hack saying that they’ve heard Lapsus$ was also behind the GTA 6 leak and that they’re currently working with the FBI to investigate the group.

“There are also reports over the weekend that this same actor breached video game maker Rockstar Games. We are in close coordination with the FBI and US Department of Justice on this matter and will continue to support their efforts.”
According to The Guardian, teapotuberhacker has also claimed responsibility for the Uber hacks, and the techniques used for both are very similar. This further strengthens the belief that they and the Lapses$ leaders are one and the same.

The BBC reported that the 16-year-old leader of the group goes by the user name “White” or “Breachbase”. He was one of seven teenagers arrested by the City of London Police earlier this year but was eventually released.
The Hacker has attempted to blackmail Rockstar Games, stating that they have the GTA 6 source code however the publisher has since responded that the hack, while unfortunate, will not disrupt the GTA project’s current development.
We will continue to report on the GTA 6 leak story as it unfolds.

Scalebound to make a comeback to Switch, date still unknown

Scalebound was in development by PlatinumGames and was bound for an XBox One release in 2017. It was then unfortunately cancelled by Microsoft Studios because of “business decisions”. Now, there are rumours that the game might be making a comeback to Nintendo Switch.

The dragon-themed RPG was not the first game that Microsoft Studios had decided to axe. The revival of Scalebound is bound to put smiles back on people’s faces after its disappointing cancellation in 2017. Furthermore, this is not the first time that Nintendo is helping to revive a dead PlatinumGames title either.

In Scalebound, you will play as Drew in the world of Draconis. Together with the dragon Thuban, both of them must defeat their enemies to bring peace to Draconis. We can definitely expect some good things out of this as Nintendo and PlatinumGames have always maintained a close relationship with each other as seen with Switch exclusive titles such Astral Chain which they are currently working on together.

With Bayonetta 3 incoming as well, it promises to be an exciting year ahead for Nintendo. Though, we will have to wait until either Nintendo or PlatinumGames to make an official announcement. For now, there is not much information and the release date is still unclear so stay tuned.

Just Dance 2023 Edition Review – What’s Up Fellow Dancers?

Just Dance 2023 Edition is a dance rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft serving as the fourteenth main instalment to the Just Dance series.

The game is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch and features a whole new approach to the Just Dance game, perfect for both newcomers and older players to the series.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Let’s Dance
Before we can proceed with the gameplay, I’m going to focus on the controls first. Just Dance as a series uses motion sensors for their controls. For example, the early versions use the Xbox Kinect and the PlayStation Camera to detect your movements throughout your session.
For 2023, the controls are simplified into your phone. Download the Just Dance Controller App on your phone, sync it to your game and you are good to go. Your phone will be doing all the motion detecting for you so just be sure you have enough battery for it. Don’t want it to die on you mid-game, yeah?
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

You can still use your console controllers to navigate through the menu and the Nintendo Joy-con also works if you don’t want to use your phones.
Now onwards to dancing, you first need to select a song you’d like to dance to. Each song has their own difficulty; some are fixed while others come with multiple options to choose from. A coach will appear on the screen once you’ve made your choice and all you need is to mirror him to gain scores.
It is a fun dancing game where not even once was I felt bored with dancing. For someone who dances like a stick, I had an easy time dancing to the easy songs but as soon as I ramp up the difficulty, the choreography intensifies and at the end of it, I was already sprawled on the floor, sweating and muscles screaming in ache.
Even then, I had a smile on my face with how much fun I had.
You can technically cheese the game. Since the scores are based on the movement of your controller, you can just sit back and wave it around but where is the fun in that.

Time to Dance with Style
This time around, Just Dance 2023 took a more galaxy theme to its design. It is full of stars and universes, making us feel like we are jumping through space as we dance. In fact, this game has a plot tied to it, featuring a girl in our reality jumping into the world of Just Dance to take on teams of dancers.
Plot in a dancing game, who would have thought about it?
Compared to the white theme that Just Dance 2022 had, the 2023 version has more colour to it and overall makes the game feel more alive. There was also definitely the tinge of “Matureness” to it that the developer team mentioned in their behind-the-scenes talk.
What is Dance without a Song?
In Just Dance 2023, you will be presented with three options when you start the game; Home, Song and Playlist
With the Playlist you can check out the playlist you can pick to dance with and they are all pre-made to resemble the different game modes from the past entries of the series. For example, the Calorie Burner playlist resembles Sweat Mode while the Children playlist resembles Kid Mode. However, you cannot make your own custom playlist so that is a bit of a bummer.

The Song page is where you can look up the whole library of songs the game has. While new songs are coming to the game in the future, the current numbers are not that impressive even with a Just Dance+ subscription.
What’s more, the songs available are more for the western audiences. I have a fair knowledge of Western English songs but even then, I hardly know half of the songs that are listed out. They are a couple of songs in other languages like Korean and Japanese but they are like a small margin when compared to the plethora of English songs in the game.
Speaking of Just Dance+ subscription, I find it more of a necessity to fully enjoy this because aside from songs, a lot of the pre-made playlist is also locked behind it.

Our very own Personalised Dance Card
From their behind-the-scenes talk, the developers mentioned adding more elements to the Dance Card to truly personalize it as your own. One such thing is the option to add custom accessories to it like borders, badges and even victory celebrations.
The Dance Card also comes with a levelling system that rewards you with more accessories to decorate your card. This is a dancing game so what better way to gain levels other than dancing?

It takes Two to Tango
Just Dance 2023 comes with not only offline multiplayer but also online. Unfortunately, I cannot find any friends online to play with so back to offline it is
After grabbing one poor soul to join me, I can conclude that the multiplayer experience feels just nice. Some songs will have multiple coaches if you’re playing multiplayer and they’ll give you different choreographies for each player.

Offline, up to 6 players can join in on the fun so long as they have the Just Dance Controller App installed on their phone or a Nintendo Joy-con if you’re playing on the Switch. The only downside to it is getting enough space to fit 6 dancing people.
There is one thing to note about online. If you are planning on dancing to the songs from the Just Dance+ subscription, all the players in your online team must have the subscription as well before you can start.
The Dancing Performance
The game runs pretty smoothly for most of the time but it does depend on your internet connection. There were times I noticed the game lags a little or the songs not displaying properly when the internet’s speed dropped.
Granted it also comes with offline gameplay. However, you’ll need to download the entire library before you can even think of playing offline.
The Controller App also has its own sets of problems. It can get a bit frustrating when the app refuses to connect to the game, coupled with the random disconnects it had. I mentioned earlier about making sure the phone has enough battery for your session. Yeah, that was based on experience.
Aside from connection issues, I encountered no bugs or glitches throughout my dancing sessions.
Dancing Thoughts
While there is always a new Just Dance every year, Just Dance 2023 did an amazing job in giving a different feel to the game that is sure to attract even older Just Dance players. The overall design and the approach they took was vastly different compared to past entries.
While I had issues with the connections, it is negligible since it could be a device issue on my end. It wasn’t even too frustrating to the point of throwing my phone off a cliff.
Even if you have a dancing skill akin to a stick being blown by the wind like me, Just Dance 2023 is the perfect game for a fun time with friends and family. If you are alone, you can even play the game to work off some sweat and burn off calories. Just don’t overdo it and have your muscles aching for days.

                                        Pros

                                        Cons

                                        Great dancing with a very different feel compared to older games

                                         Number of available songs at base is lacking

                                        The new Dance Card has great customization options to really personalize it

                                        Connection issues with both the game and the controller

Fire Emblem Engage Review: This is Basically FE’s Take On Power Rangers (In a Good Way)

Fire Emblem Engage is the latest game in Nintendo’s popular Strategy RPG series and the second game on the Switch following Fire Emblem Three Houses. While Three Houses expanded on Fire Emblem as a Game of Thrones style political drama, Engage decided to be Power Rangers, and that’s not a bad thing.

I’m not joking when I say that, from its Ron Wasserman-style opening theme, to its corny writing, Engage feels is a lighthearted shounen anime and is unashamed at being so. That won’t appeal to everyone if you prefer the darker side of Fire Emblem but combined with excellent maps and fun mechanics and it’s quite an engaging adventure.

The Divine Dragon
He makes that face a lot when people are talking about him
You are Alear, the divine dragon, believe me, the game will remind you of this fact pretty much every ten minutes. You awaken on a floating island surrounded by four nations on Elyos. Unfortunately soon after you’re 1000-year nap, it turns out the evil Fell Dragon has also awakened and it causing zombie-like monsters to plague the continent. His followers also just killed your mom. Thankfully, you got a special power, Emblem Rings that allow you to summon the heroes of past Fire Emblem games, together with your army is quirky characters you must scour the kingdoms, unite their leaders and collect all the emblem rings to stop the fell dragons.
Alear’s Army
I don’t mean to repeat myself but Fire Emblem Engage really plays out like a corny Tokusatsu show for better and for worse. A lot of the dialogue sounds unnatural and much of the cast has devolved back to gimmick personalities similar to FE Awakening and Fates. A lot of them have one quirk and they’re going to make sure you know about it in every one of their supports.

Despite this, however, I still find a lot of charm in Engage’s story. It’s campy but after FE Fates’ confused mess of a plot and Three Houses’ great but dense political thriller, it’s kinda nice to go back to a more straightforward adventure. It reminded me a lot of the GBA Fire Emblem games in a way, just a ragtag group of heroes going out to save the world. It’s not quite as well written as those but it invokes the same feeling.

There were also quite a few characters that I thought were pretty likable like Ivy, Goldmary, Yunaka (Hiya Papaya!), and even Alear themself is pretty solid. I don’t like the way characters literally worship the Avatar character but I love their woefully underprepared personality. The others see them as a god yet they’re just a regular person and react with awkwardness and anxiety you’d expect from someone having to live up to those expectations.

I’ll even say I like the designs for most of the cast. Yes, it may be “too anime” (still a terrible argument) but the vibrant colors and over-the-top extravagant clothing made every character feel more distinct as an individual. The story won’t be for everyone I just had fun with and it was solid enough to get me through the game, even if I was occasionally laughing at the bad lines.
The Graphics

Fire Emblem Engage is split up into 26 chapters plus several Paralogue side missions for those looking for more content. One thing I have to say straight away is that this is one of the best-looking switch games. It may not look like much from the pictures but on the Switch/TV screen, the cell-shaded graphics look smooth and transition well from the map to the battles. The animations are also well done, giving each attack a snappy hit that adds a sense of weight to each blow. The dev team said they aimed to emulate the GBA games and certainly pulled it off.
The only real complaint I have is that the load times for the game can sometimes be very long, sometimes up to 15-20 seconds but it’s not that detrimental to the game.
Gameplay

Fire Emblem Engage keeps to the FE’s traditional strategy RPG gameplay where you move characters across a grid map to attack enemies or heal allies like a complex anime version of chess.
Notable features of the game are that it brings back the Swords-Lances-Axes weapons triangle and adds to it. Now using a strong weapon has the chance to ‘Break’ the opponent meaning that they won’t hit back in that turn.
In addition, it’s also way easier to upgrade your units to new classes in the game compared to Three Houses, just get them to level 10, and use an item called a master seal to promote them whenever you want. Overall Engage makes its battle system easy to understand yet with lots of intricacies to help craft your perfect army.
Engage

This big change to the game is the new Engage mechanics. The 12 Emblems containing the previous FE heroes can be equipped with any of the characters in your army. Equipping them will not only buff certain stats but will give them an in-battle ability to Engage. This transforms the Unit unit a new powered-up form (complete with a Henshin transformation sequence) that has even higher stats and the ability to use a new super move. These can range from teleporting to firing a magical laser or mowing through a horde of grunts like a calvary charge. The trade-off for this is that they can only transform once per mission, and will transform back after three turns.
The Engage mechanics add a lot of nuances to Engage’s combat. The 12 Emblems offer a lot of unique combinations that and great enhance units into strange and spectacular combinations. You can have a speedy thief like Yunaka also act as a healer with Micaiah, or make the resident tank Diamant even tankier by giving him Ike. There are even a few characters like Clamme and Etie who I thought were fairly meh yet give them Celica or Lyn and they can wreck shop pretty hard. As I found more rings I found myself swapping them around every few chapters just to see how they changed each unit.

Another aspect of the Engage system is bonding and inheriting skills. As a unit uses a specific Emblem more, their bond with the Emblem will level up and by level 5, they’ll be able to inherit skill from the emblem to equip and use permanently. These can range from buffing their speed stat to brand new passive abilities like jumping in front of allies to take their damage. It’s a cool system that encourages players to further experiment with the emblems and move them around to different characters.
Chilling On Your Sky Island

Outside of combat, you can leave the world map at any time to go to the game’s hub world, The Somniel, a Floating Island in the middle of the map. Here you can buy new equipment, items, and costumes, chat with the other characters, give them gifts from the Flea Market and take them out for a dinner made from resources you find scattered around the map after each mission. You can even adopt animals who in turn will give you more resources, including dogs being able to find your metal for some reason.
These, in turn, can raise your characters’ bond and unlock a new support conversation, a scene between to characters’ interaction. As previously mentioned some aren’t that well written being heavily reliant on the character’s personality gimmick to get but others are actually pretty funny or cute. I won’t spoil any but generally, they’re a mixed bag with some being far more memorable than others.
Finally, there are a number of minigames you can play in The Somniel, including Fishing, Wyvern riding, and exercise which can raise stats and get more resources. There’s even a little Dog creature named Sommie who you can pet and feed. None of this is required so if you’d prefer to just keep to the war effort you can but I found it a nice change of pace from the main game that didn’t take up too much time.
Fire Emblem Engage

Fire Emblem Engage may be a little alienating for those looking for more a serious take on turn-based strategy series but if you can accept it for what is it: a campy power rangers style fantasy adventure, it’s a pretty fun time. I can’t deny that the dialogue and writing can often be rushed or outright bad but there were still many times I thought it was charming or at least legitimately funny with how out there some of the characters were.
It also doesn’t take away from the gameplay which has a good balance of classic Fire Emblem tactics spiced up with the Engage system allowing more greater unit customization. Overall, Engage isn’t the most mindblowing game in the franchise but it’s another engaging experience that brings out some of the best aspects of the series if you can look past all the silliness at least.

Chinese Arknights fan artist allegedly doxxed over art of leaked Genshin Impact character

If you are active in either or both Arknights or Genshin Impact fan circles, you may have heard of a fan artist for Arknights apparently getting doxxed after posting fan art of a leaked Genshin Impact character. If you’re unaware, “doxxing” is basically getting your personal information leaked and spread widely over the internet.

羽蛇Quetzalli appears to be the primary victim of this incident, who at time of writing, has apparently deleted all posts on bilibili. This reddit post suggests that 绫纱岚, Leria_V, 阿戈魔AGM, Colourful World, and 火鸡 have all fallen victim too.

Then we have this reddit post, intending to clear the air. Apparently, for 羽蛇Quetzalli at least, there was no sign of people harassing her publicly to start. However, both her and another content creator, 某声悠, later get doxxed by having spam messages sent to them as their phone numbers get used as website log in information. 羽蛇Quetzalli gets her paid FANBOX content posted publicly, though the poster cannot confirm if it happened before or after the doxxing.
At time of writing, the situation has been described as “chaotic” at best. With both Arknights and Genshin Impact fan artists getting caught in the crossfire, some have decided to lie low to avoid getting doxxed as unscrupulous people threaten to publicize their paid content, or worse, their personal information.

It’s easy enough to say to block the instigators before things can fully escalate. Telling people not to overtly “provoke the trolls” also only goes so far since there’s no way you can satisfy everyone. Making fan content and interacting with like-minded people shouldn’t have to end up like this, but in any case, take care, and be understanding if your favourite content creators choose to prioritize their comfort / safety and decide not to post more until further notice.

[Gamescom Asia 2022] Wizards of The Coast’s Tim Fields Talks About Game Development 20 Years From Now

At Gamescom Asia 2022 in Singapore, Wizards of The Coast Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Gaming Tim Fields held a talk titled ‘A Look 20 Years Ahead: Game Development 2042’

According to Fields, there are five major forces in the industry that developers need to take notes of while looking forwards to the next 20 years of gaming.

Related Posts

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

These five major forces are:

Hardware advances in CPU power, battery power, and input accessibility
Pervasive machine learning & autonomy fueled by a vast increase in data
The ubiquity of high-speed high capacity data networks
The effect of Social Networks and human connectivity
Demographics and an increase in the amount of leisure time available for humanity

With computers continuing the increase exponentially in processing power, Tim suspects that the type of processing in 2042 will be a million times more powerful than now, more than enough to make modern AI look basic. Combining this with the fact that most computers will have much higher battery lives, and people will likely be able to play games from anywhere they want.

Likewise, there will also be heavy advances in machine learning. He also gave an example of how an AI was used to do a Steve Job interview a few days ago. He believes that if this technology was used in gaming the effect would be of even higher quality, particularly for NPC characters who could emote and move in a far more realistic and relatable fashion.
In addition to changes in technology he also says one of the most important things in the future will be audience demographics as well as changes in the amount of leisure time that people have. Audiences currently have now a lot more leisure time compared with people from two hundred years ago, and this is only going to keep on increasing in the future (even if it certainly doesn’t feel like it sometimes).
As the population keeps increasing, the amount of leisure time available will also keep increasing, and a sizable amount of that time is going to be spent gaming. By 2042, we should be expecting the number of gamers to be hitting 4.5 billion which is more than half of the current population of the planet Earth.

Of course none of this is one hundred percent confirmed. We don’t know what the future holds and how it could change, but considering how much knowledge Tim Fields has of the gaming industry and gaming markets, these are some insightful ideas of what the future of gaming could be in the long run.
For all the indie developers out there looking at where technology is going, these major forces are things to keep in mind as we continue advancements into gaming and technology in general.

In the near future, a sudden and unexplained sea rise has left much of human civilization underwater.

Left without a family, all he has to his name is the ship and submarine left to him by his oceanologist grandmother, and her debts.
His only hope to restore the dreams for the future that he has lost is to take up an opportunity presented to him by the suspicious debt collector Catherine. They set sail to search the sunken ruins of his grandmother’s laboratory in order to find a treasure rumor says she left there.
But what they find is not riches or jewels; it is a strange girl lying asleep in a coffin at the bottom of the sea.
Atri.
Atri is a robot, but her appearance and her wealth of emotions would fool anyone into think she’s a living, breathing human being. In gratitude for being salvaged, she makes a declaration to Natsuki.
“I want to fulfill my master’s final order. Until I do, I’ll be your leg!”
In a little town slowly being enveloped by the ocean, an unforgettable summer is about to begin for this boy and this mysterious robot girl…
