![]() (Stranger of Sword City, NIS America)Ĭreating party members from the ground-up can be fun, but I have several qualms with the system. I ended up having to make a cleric just to reach that specific skill before multi-classing into a Wizard, which I feel is too troublesome and unnecessary for making such an important class viable for dungeon exploration. While the Cleric learns a skill which regenerates MP while exploring dungeons, the Wizard does not. However, the Wizard quickly runs out of MP, forcing the player to constantly leave the dungeon to recover. Without this buff, the enemies are nearly invulnerable to weapons. The player starts with six playable characters, and can immediately fill in the other ten slots at the beginning of the game.Īll the classes suit their own purposes and it is highly advisable to keep a wide variety of classes in your party. My only complaint on the classes is that, in an early dungeon of the game, the party needs to have a Wizard for its Magic Weapon buff. Every other spot could be filled by any mixture of melee and ranged damage. From my experience, the only essential classes in the six-person parties were Knights, Clerics, and Wizards. Characters can multi-class in order to combine a limited amount of skills from the old class with their new abilities. The Dancer and Ranger take up support roles from the backlines alongside the Cleric and Wizard. Classes vary from the tanky Knight, to the high-damage Fighter, Samurai, and Ninja. The only real restriction on the protagonist is that they have to be human. The main protagonist has a wide range of customizable options including their gender, age, appearance, class, and stats. The dwellers of Escalario talk often about their strong and differing beliefs. Every character wants to find a way to save everyone from Escario, and the game explores ideas of existentialism and self-interest. Each of the three leaders serves as a vessel for a different god, with widely differing motives. ![]() From there, you’re promptly declared a “Stranger,” that is, a magical outsider who has the power to hunt special creatures, called Lineage Types. These Lineage Types drop Blood Crystals which are central to the story, as they provide Sword City’s leaders with the power to make a difference. The story begins with the blank slate protagonist surviving a plane crash and waking up within the mystical realm of Escario, the Sword City. That said, it is stuffed with gorgeous art, a beautiful soundtrack, satisfying combat, and interesting boss hunting mechanics. It requires dozens of hours of grinding for EXP and treasure, and it is extremely time consuming. I have trouble deciding on how much I actually like this game. It has a wide variety of equipment types, classes, races, and the possibility of perma-death. The entire game revolves around hunting elusive boss monsters and searching for loot within perilous, maze-like dungeons. Stranger of Sword City is a turn-based dungeon-crawler game developed by Experience and published by NIS America.

![]() I'd like to see MuseScore eliminate those restrictions and:ġ) allow users to choose any system font for a Tablature staff, with the option of designating a fallback "built-in" font for situations where the preferred font is not available in the user's system. to which users are essentially restricted. Regarding tablature fonts, MuseScore provides only a small set of built-in tablature fonts. UPDATE (): Please read this post before reading the following. Obviously, we welcome anyone who wants to contribute in any way: design, planning, review, development, etc. Instead, our plan is to gradually work through the project over the course of a few releases. It is not our intention to try and target all of these for MuseScore 4. Although this experience would be too limited for our existing users, it could be a useful option for those with simpler requirements and could provide a stepping stone that helps them gradually learn learn how the rest of the app works.įor any community members who are interested in getting involved, check out our GitHub project, which will soon be filled with tasks ranging from trivial to significant. This would function in way that could be compared to NoteFlight, Flat.io or Guitar Pro, which allows the user to enter notes on the score without the need of a 'note entry' mode. At the moment, MuseScore does a pretty good job of interpreting these files but there are still quite a few import and engraving issuesĪn option for a 'basic' note entry mode that provides a simpler (albeit slower) experience for beginners. ![]() Improved music XML and Guitar Pro import. Support for more extended techniques (of the Luciano Berio variety!) This would include optional workspaces that are designed specifically for guitarists to find what they need. with improved default playbackĪn improved 'onboarding' experience for guitarists that helps them discover and set up a score (or tab) more easily. Improvements to features that allow guitarists to specify bends, tremolos, slides, etc. As a guitarist myself, I suspect that we can attract a far greater number of amateur and professional guitarists by focusing on some straight-forward improvements.Įngraving improvements to match best practice in guitar notation and tablature This announcement is to make you aware of a new initiative we're planning that will aim to improve the experience of guitarists in MuseScore (see the GitHub project here). ![]() As a consumer, it’s stiff outlay if you’ve already spent your pennies on Adobe Creative Suite, but if you are after a great plugin that really works, this is definitely worth looking at. As a professional, this is a small price to pay as you would easily make your money back in a week in saved time. You will need more than loose change for the pleasure. As it’s been aimed at consumers and professionals, it is of course compatible with Wacom tablets. Can also be used a stand alone software rather than a PS plug-in, but using only limited file formats. Works on Windows XP, Vista and Mac 10.3.9 and above. Takes a bit of trial and error, but with patience and certainly with more practice can get very pleasing results for a large proportion of images thrown at it. The real difference that I can see over other software I have used is the intelligent edge blending of FM3. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that it would cutout any image you threw at it, but from my experience, FM3 certainly would do more than other application I have used before. Obviously, for simple cutouts Fluid Mask 3 completely eats them up with ease. Given regular use, I could see this as being a huge time saving for anyone needing to do complicated cutouts. But I would probably put this down to me not quite using the right settings properly and simply getting used to the software. I did some more tests on different images and like most pieces of software of this nature, I got mixed results. Generally you would get some halo residue from the sky from a shot like this, but there is no evidence this at all. The most important thing being that it looks natural and giving the impression that it was potentially shot like that on white with no really obvious tell tale signs that it has been retouched or cutout. Blending very nicely with no real visible hard edges. As you can see, it has retained a lot of the detail both in focus and out of focus. The images below I’ve zoomed into the hair area for a closer look. After watching a few brief tutorials, I cutout my own shot (below left) in around 10 minutes, something of a record for me on an image like this I would have to say. Notoriously difficult getting the detail in and around the fine hair, showing through a new background colour. You can see my original image below right, she has plenty of fly-away hair on a neutral background. For the sake of the exercise, I cropped in and around the hair area. For my own test, I chose a reasonably difficult and perhaps typical image. To help with this, they have included some step by step instructions and video tutorials on their website which covers the basics and then moves into complicated backgrounds and some specialist cutout tutorials for hair, trees & leaves and also even the incredibly difficult cutouts of smoke. Despite it being married with Photoshop, the tools it uses are quite different. You don’t need a PhD in retouching to use it out of the box, but it is a bit of a learning curve. Like any new piece of software, it takes a bit of time to get used to, and FM3 is certainly no exception. I hadn’t used it’s predecessor FM2 before, but I had heard good things from colleagues in the past and therefore had high hopes for FM3 to be refined and developed enough to hopefully sort out all my cutout requirements. I have seen and used various software packages that boasted to ‘revolutionise cutouts forever’, but sadly despite having merit in some areas, they failed to completely live up to their own hype. I was all too eager to try out any software that was going to potentially make my life easier in this department. Cutouts are generally regarded as being a fairly painstaking and a fiddly process particularly with imagery that include things like trees and hair. I spent 18 years in the graphic design and print industry and I couldn’t even begin to think how many cutouts I have done in that time. It’s essentially a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that assists in doing cutouts. I was asked to have a look at piece of software called Fluid Mask 3 made by Vertus. In a streamlined interface and workflow, Fluid Mask 3 instantly shows key edges in the image and provides comprehensive easy to use tools that work with difficult-to-see edges and tricky areas like trees & lattices.It is reviewed here by regular contributor and professional fashion photographer, Nathan Pask of Our Review of Fluid Mask 3 Fluid Mask 3 is designed for photographers, image editors, graphic designers and all those who take digital image editing seriously. ![]() Some of the options were surprising at first. ‘Just Dance 2022’ seems to be fairly diverse in its choices as always, showcasing music from K-pop groups, forgotten internet culture, TikTok, and what I would classify as “family road trip music,” all alongside picks from the Top 100 of the year. The atmospheres the game creates are dynamic and engaging, if a little difficult to follow at times for what the game is. The tracklist reflects both the trends and radio hits of the past year with more cinematic background than ever before. The largest change in ‘Just Dance 2022’ is the content it provides. Additionally, ‘Just Dance 2022’ still gives the player “mojo” that they are able to spend in a gachapon type machine that provides new avatars, skins and taglines for your player profile. The game also includes a “Kids” version, similar to the last few editions, which is essentially an oversimplified version of gameplay set to children’s or Disney-inspired music. ![]() ‘Just Dance 2022’ includes other classic features like “Just Sweat,” where the player is able to play more extreme versions of the dances, and a “QuickPlay” option where all songs are shuffled and put back to back. There is the option to use the game’s controllers or the Just Dance controller app. On the Nintendo Switch, the player can dance with a party of up to six individuals either working together in “Co-op Mode” or competing against each other. ‘Just Dance 2022’ is an expected addition to the series, as it is nothing remarkably innovative, and rather an updated version of the game. The game proves that its creators have discovered a solid code for success combining shameless fun with popular music and exercise. No matter the player’s skill, they can “just dance” with little fear of judgement. Whether the player puts just their controller or their heart and soul into the dance is up to them. Not much about the game itself has changed since its conception the player is given a list of choreographed songs to mirror and is scored on their performance. ‘Just Dance’ has been a standout party game since the first of its name was released in Nov. The upcoming installment, ‘Just Dance 2022,’ was announced in June 2021 and will be the 13th game in the main series. I jumped at the chance to be able to review the newest version of the game. I still play many of the past games on my older consoles and not only are they still entertaining, but deeply nostalgic. I vividly remember waking up on Christmas Day almost every year to the new version of the game and dancing with my sister until we had gone through the catalog.

In order to showcase this mod, Coomer has released the following screenshots. However, he does plan to generate better and bigger size normal maps as soon as he finds a good algorithm. Furthermore, the modder had to reduce the size of the normal maps to 512×512 due to the big file size. As a result of that, the size of the mod is now around 4.38GB. This pack uses a batch of generated normal maps with alpha channel to make dark parts of the textures non-reflective. Thankfully, though, the modder has not added bump maps to the Xen levels.

It's cute to me to see the kids doing it.īonehilda, Guidry and Temperance are fun additions for NPC's and bring additional gameplay and/or story possibilities. Kids and teens can also learn the medium skill and that can come in handy for keeping things under control at home (or even out and about if you've put the lot trait in houses they travel too). when you feel like scheduling the gigs for them. Your young adult sim and up can go out on the job and do battle with the specters that way. But you don't even have to live in a haunted house to learn the medium skill if you don't want the day to day issues that can happen. You can play it normally which can be quite hard or brace yourself for heroic mode, which you have to turn on. Living in a haunted house is like a mini game in the game as said. In the paranormal pack the way they did it is spot on for my tastes. There is a pack called movie night that kind of has this vibe but is way too bright for me. so fortune teller?), boho vibe and have wanted it in the game. Maybe people can't understand why they want a paranormal theme. Sometimes people also just want a certain theme. Seriously, that's the extent of it and it's just a tiny little nitpick. If Temperance and Guidry are supposed to be from the 20's, their (or at least her) wardrobe is wrong. And dealing with specters sometimes gives another way to extend your sim's lifespan too.Įrm. ![]() Like trying to keep the home owner's calm, dealing with the investigator's own fear (even with the Brave trait, which just means your sim recovers faster) and the random rewards you can sometimes get.

And honestly, those little specters are a far more entertaining way to get rid of random visitors you don't want to talk to than just ignoring them.ģ) The Paranormal Investigator Gigs. I'm not saying I want my sims to live in one forever, but it is a fun challenge to get through the first seven days. The Retro-hippie Boho - but with saturated color - is an aesthetic I adore and the CAS looks like it could have come from my closet, along with the pseudo-Moroccan feel of some of the furniture, and the sofa is about the best one we've gotten outside of base game (The one that you unlock with the Tech Guru career is still my favorite, but it needs more colors)Ģ) The Haunted House lot type. Even without the gameplay elements, I'd have been excited for this pack. The Railway Man is thoroughly well made and pretty faultlessly performed by its leads but for such a classic World War Two story it's surely a little too late in the day. 'The Railway Man', by Eric Lomax, is his memoirs of his experiences in World War II, as well as his life before and after the war. “Neither do I, I have suffered too”, says Nagase and they embrace: “Some time the hating has to stop.” It’s a story about PTSD though from a time before it was called that and an urge for revenge that turns into a desire for reconciliation and forgiveness. Firths performance is filled with anger and revenge. The Railway Man is not a sweet little romance. And the cathartic final truth and reconciliation meeting between Lomax and Nagase is inevitably moving: “I don’t want to live that day any more”, says Lomax. This is very much a personal story of how love, courage and forgiveness can heal, and its hard not to be moved by Lomaxs harrowing story. On one of his frequent train trips, he meets and falls in love with.

Eric Lomax (Colin Firth) is a self proclaimed railway enthusiast, not just a train spotter. ![]() Since this is a film all about not being able to escape the past and live in the present, how the two are integrated is a crucial decision – and the solution adopted by the director Jonathan Teplitsky and screenwriters Frank Cotterell Boyce and Andy Patterson feels too safe and ready-made.Īs the young Eric, Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) is excellent, with a hopefulness and openness that are gone from him after his ordeal. The Railway Man is such a safe, respectful portrait of true-life catharsis that it feels afraid to reopen the same old wounds it exalts Lomax for confronting. ![]() This parallel track ends up dissipating the tension of both past and present and giving us too easy a perspective – it might have been better either to have stuck strictly to chronology, neither leaping forward nor back, or even to have reversed it completely and begun with the end and then gone backwards. The film progresses by the unimaginative device of alternately progressively revealing Lomax’s wartime experiences in flashback and carrying forward the story in the present, until the two meet in the final scenes of reconciliation.
![]() “The puppets have been a staple of the parade for a while and I think that’s because they bring such a different look and feel and they bring such a sense of community,” Mrusek said.įirst Night commissions puppets from Peattie, whether that be flying swans or great beasts. The cooperative and the lending libraries participate in many events, such as First Night celebrations.Īlex Mrusek, the parade director for the Boston First Night Parade, a New Year’s Eve celebration of artistic performances, says that the use of Peattie’s puppets contribute greatly to the vibrancy of the event. “You get long days in the cellar doing papier-mache and then you’re running around in the street with crowds of people or workshops with kids.” ![]() “That’s what’s nice about puppetry,” she said. Peattie’s days never quite look the same. I’m doing a Purim spiel … so I get cardboard and materials ready for that or I work on stuff that’s broken.” If there’s an event, I get stuff ready for it. Her studio is a much larger space with a collection of supplies she has built up for decades. ![]() “That’s why I don’t bother too much about lending them out, they always come back.” “These aren’t the kind of things you would want around the house,” she said, speaking about the puppets. She admits they are a little unsettling - her brother won’t even enter the puppet storage room because of “all the little eyes looking at him.” Peattie spends most of the time in her workshop rather than the crowded, low-ceiling storage room where the puppets are located. The space was officially established as a library around 1995. Puppets of all shapes and sizes line an aisle inside the Puppet Free Library. Peattie’s puppets usually take about a week to make and the library lends out a couple every week. Though the library is open to visitors every Tuesday, most of its work focuses on the lending aspect. The library originally loaned puppets to the public informally, but was made official around 1995. The puppet libraries began in Boston, then known as the Back Alley Puppet Theater. “He was the one who was going to do big pageants at Lincoln Center,” Peattie said, “and world domination through puppetry.” Peattie attributes the plan to Konnoff and said she came to Boston following his motivation. Following Konnoff’s passing in 2001, Peattie continued their work, linking the cooperative more and more with the community. The nonprofit is an association of puppeteers, theatre artists and other musicians who work towards community outreach and education. Peattie founded Puppeteers Cooperative in 1976 with the late puppeteer George Konnoff in San Francisco after the two worked with Bread and Puppet in Vermont. She is often baffled by her “random life,” she said. Peattie, however, never planned on pursuing puppetry. That puppeteer was the famed Peter Schumann, co-founder and director of the Bread & Puppet Theater. Peattie has worked with puppets for over 40 years, ever since being apprenticed to a puppeteer when she was 18. Her workshop next door is stocked with hundreds of the puppets, many of which she made. Sara Peattie, the artist, or “puppeteer,” is behind the hidden library. All are available to be borrowed, for free, to animate community events and celebrations across New England and New York City. Stocked with parade puppets and banners, gigantic heads of Poseidon and Mother Earth, 10-foot tall giraffes, blossoming flowers and fiery dragons, the puppet library has almost every character imaginable. It’s fit for an entrance to a magical world, and in a way, it is - leading the way to Boston’s Puppet Free Library in the basement of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Behind the bustling Newbury Street on Public Alley 437 is a small arched door, adorned with a painted panel instructing visitors to ring the bell dangling upon it. |
