GamesRadar reports that the Terraria developer plans to donate $100k each to two open source engines (Godot and FNA), with $1,000 monthly donations to both moving forward. In Re-Logic's statement, they, “unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out. The flippant manner with which years of trust cultivated by Unity were cast aside for yet another way to squeeze publishers, studios, and gamers is the saddest part. That this move was wholly unnecessary pushes things into the tragedy category - a cautionary tale the industry will not soon forget.”Unity. Bloomberg (Jason Schreier) reports that Unity might consider limiting total fees to 4% of a game's revenue, and suggests this limit would apply to customers making over $1M. The fees would also rely on developers self-reporting installation numbers.LINKSWebsite: https://8-bitadventures.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/8bitAdventuresMerch: https://8-bitadventures.com/shopJoin the Discord: https://discord.gg/FAPKjjQ“1-UP” is by Professor Shyguy.

On this week's Pixels & Ink Podcast: Brendan, Chris, Dayna and Jordan sit down to talk about Elon Musk trying to buy Twitter, and the potential ramifications of that purchase—having left Twitter for good, Jordan is pretty ambivalent towards it. Afterwards, they talk about the Square Enix's 20th Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, and the surprise reveal of Kingdom Hearts VI—Jordan spoils the ending to the terrible plot of the three year-old game.  Afterwards, they talk about the surprise announcement of No Man's Sky's Outlaw update; which adds new features and areas to the game. The gang looks back a bit on No Man's Sky, and how genuine their commitment to building the game to its initial vision is. They also talk briefly about Aspyr purchasing Beamdog and how Epic games received $2 billion dollars from Sony and Epic. How they plan to use that money is anyone's guess.  In the review section: Dayna has been watching Single Drunk Female, Brendan watched Russian Doll: Season 2; and Jordan watched Sonic the Hedgehog 2!

Die Franchise "Axis and Allies" ist nach Risiko das meistverkaufte Wargame aller Zeiten und die wohl bekannteste Brettspielfranchise wenn es darum geht den 2. Weltkrieg in Form einer Globalstrategie nachspielen zu können.​ Die Ausgangslage ist 1942. Die Achse befindet sich in ihrer historisch gesehen größten territorialen Ausbreitung in Europa und im Pazifik. Mit dem Kriegseintritt der USA im Dezember 1941 jedoch hat sich das Kräfteverhältnis verschoben. Schaffen es die Alliierten die neu gewonnene Einheit in einen Sieg umzumünzen?​ Dank Larry Harris Jr. haben sich seit 1981 Millionenfach Spieler in dieses Szenario begeben. Hasbro versoftete die Classic Version des Spiels erstmals 1998, eine weitere modernisierte Digitalfassung erfolgte 2020 durch Beamdog und ist auf Steam erhältlich. Zusätzlich entwickelte sich mit TripleA eine sehr gelungene Freeware-Umsetzung die bis heute aktiv durch die Community weiter entwickelt wird.​ Neben dem umfassenden Interview mit dem Spieleentwickler Larry Harris Jr., welches ihr auf unserem Kanal finden könnt, hört ihr hier unsere Erinnerungen an lange Spieleabende und natürlich auch unsere Meinung zu allen bisher erschienenen originalgetreuen Versoftungen der Marke Axis and Allies.

Leora Kornfeld sits down with Alberta-based producer Andrew Scholotiuk and director Dylan Pearce to discuss virtual production techniques. The pair has been working on the merging of the physical and digital worlds for years and share their advice and experience as interconnectedness and collaboration are increasingly hot commodities in the film industry.Special effects that create computer-generated characters and backgrounds are found everyday in the gaming world and they have been standard fare in higher end Hollywood productions for years. But now, using a combination of more affordable technologies and open source real time 3D game engines as a foundation, these techniques are starting to move closer to mainstream film production. As the film and TV world meets the game world with the help of networked laptops, the possibilities in terms of creation become endless.Our guests, Andrew Scholotiuk and Dylan Pearce have a sizable portfolio of feature films, TV shows, and games to their credit, including a Lumiere Award for advancements and innovation in digital filmmaking. They are currently developing a new virtual production pipeline at Beamdog, an Edmonton-based gaming company.

This world is built on the inside of a giant torus, and teeming with strange creatures from across the multiverse.  That's right, listeners, we're in Sigil, the city at the center of the planes! Sigil was created for the 2nd Edition AD&D Planescape campaign setting, and was the setting for the classic CRPG "Planescape: Torment". It's weird and twisted and more than a little disconcerting.  If you haven't played Planescape: Torment, you really should!

Today’s Hook: A visitor claiming to be a historian from the future is here to observe the great heroes that helped shape his civilization. Details surrounding the PCs’ demise are the parts he’s hoping to gain historical clarification on What would you do if you absolutely idolized your older brother… but he suddenly vanished and now you and your friends are the only people who can even remember he ever existed? If it was a brotherly love, like that of Boromir and Faramir… you’d totally freak out, right? And that’s not even the half of it, as this week the Adventure Hook guys use the powers of time travel to turn back the clock to that most eerie and mysterious age… the 1980s! And of course your two GMs bring a few Lovecraftian concepts along for good measure. Hide that “Cthulhu shit” you learned at Miskatonic University in your Trapper-Keeper… because things are about to get weird… like, totally Eighties weird… Childhood friends united by their shared “lack of experiences” must use various different forms of time travel to unravel (or perhaps re-knit together) the tangles of their fractured memories…  From a Carter family heirloom with unlimited Astral potential, to a consciousness projecting temporal drug, to good ol’ fashioned Hypnosis… all may be needed by our band of nerds to keep the Silver Man, the Man in the Brown Van, and the Man in the Round Room each from staying one step ahead of those pesky 5thdimensional “time wolves”. Which begs the question… what’s the angle of creating a room with no angles? Does that all sound batshit crazy to you? Then you must be reading the show notes before listening to the show, because believe us that all completely and totally makes perfect sense by the end of the episode. Especially if you consider the Mandela Effect we discuss in Episode 29: Full Disclosure… Plus… please enjoy Aaron reminiscing about the halcyon days of his youth, where once (during one of those long 80’s summers) he tried to incite his own Satanic Panic upon his sleepy, unsuspecting neighborhood. And later, Rob reminds Aaron for the umpteenth time he doesn’t actually watch Star Trek… but based on his latest Discovery Season 2 spoilers (warning!) he probably should… Unless you aren’t actually reading the show notes first… in which case that Spoiler Warning isn’t much help… Banter Topic:  Adventure Hook is switching to an archival model on Patreon, and the guys talk about those details a wee bit (including some of their favorite past projects) before also discussing the comics professional’s perspective on Aaron’s new Hellblazer #1 issue landing the cover of Previews!

The twisting, dark streets of the city of Sigil, the beauty and weirdness of the multiverse and the horrors of the nine hells all come together in to a wonderful whole that has enchanted us since playing Planescape: Torment back in the nineties. Together with our friends at Adventure Hook and Blackspire Studios we have created this actual play of the classic Planescape adventure “To Ba’ator and Back” which is featured in the “Well of Worlds” module. We are playing AD&D 2nd edition and the adventure begins in Blackspire’s world Terregastia, where a manhunt is under way. Production has been done by the talented Robert Randle at Blackspire and you are in for a real treat over the coming seven weeks. One of the most exciting things about this project is that Beamdog have kindly given us permission to use the original soundtrack for Planescape: Torment. This is a true honor and really helps set the right tone. Thank you! We also used music by Metatron Omega, Halgrath, Flowers for Bodysnatchers and Atrium Carceri. As always huge thanks to Cryo Chamber for their kindness in allowing us to use their material.

It wouldn’t be Halloween if we didn’t put a little scare in ya, right? Rest assured, the image above is not a sign that the ironically named legend in vaporware known as the Phantom Console is making a comeback, it’s just a nod to our big topic for this week: Digital Downloads. As it turns out, conceptually the Phantom was onto something, regardless of how nonexistent their hardware really was, and services like Steam, OnLive, Xbox Live Arcade and more have finally delivered on that promise of never having to leave your home to purchase a new game. More impressively, services like Beamdog, Good Old Games and Steam offer hundreds of titles that many of us cut our teeth on and let us relive our past glories in games like MDK2 HD and the Ultima series. In this week’s podcast, we examine how digital distribution has become entrenched in gaming, pushing the market into new and exciting places, and to help us out we asked Trent Oster (one of the co-founders of Bioware currently one of the heads of the digital distribution service Beamdog) and staff writer Victor Grunn to join us. Happy Halloween!
