We're shaking things up with our second in-person SpeakEasy episode - SpeakIndie. Ninel Anderson came to visit the Heart Machine studio and talked with Alx Preston, the studio's CEO. We filmed this interview in October 2024 but couldn't release it earlier for some reason. A lot of things have happened since then. Heart Light Breaker was released in early access, Heart Machine suffered layoffs, Alx started a new campaign on Patreon, and much more. So all this stuff is not discussed here. However, the interview covers tons of resonating topics about our industry that shouldn't remain silent:▶️ How to start and maintain the Kickstarter campaign▶️ How to communicate with publishers▶️ What is the current situation in the industry▶️ How to plan the budget for the project▶️ How to produce a game in the brand new genreIt's personal, it's insightful, and yes, it's a lot of insights.Watch the video version of the interview:https://youtu.be/xP71U7EZPhM

Hey it's your buddy Jamie with a Content Warning: every song on this album has been flagged by Spotify/Apple Music as 'explicit'. The lyrics and song titles may be offensive to you. Maybe sit this one out if you listen with your kids. On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Bell's next pick, Machine Girl's "U-Void Synthesizer". The fifth studio album from the duo of Matt Stephenson and Sean Kelly, it has been variously described as fitting the genres of Hardcore, Grindcore, Industrial and Drum and Bass. In their review where they gave the album a 7.8/10, Pitchfork said the album was "relentlessly smashing together bits of punk, grindcore, rave, industrial, and more". In just over 30 minutes, the duo beat the listener senseless with often dark lyrics buried deep in the mix, layers of sound and a small helping of spoken word samples. What will the boys think of Bell's most off-the-wall pick so far? Will this be the rare album we reach a quorum on? Come along and find out!

Your podcast is a profanity. Welcome back! Today on NOCLIP Pocket, we're going to be talking about Solar Ash, a movement-based 3D platformer which was developed by Heart Machine, the developer of Hyperlight Drifter. While the aesthetic and other stylistic elements of this game relate back to Hyperlight Drifter, this game is very much a departure from the type of thing that that game was, and I think it may be this difference that made it fly so far under the radar of so many people, even those that were fans of their first game. Solar Ash is a platformer that places its emphasis strongly on its movement mechanics. Your character skates around the terrain like they have a pair of rocket-powered Heelys, making use of momentum to jump large gaps and navigate tighter obstacles with a host of context sensitive mechanics like grappling hook points and bouncy surfaces. The game also has a unique approach to boss design, mixing the fluid movement with Shadow of the Colossus-style encounters by forcing you to navigate your way up onto them and then accomplish a timed platforming challenge to deal damage. The weakest part of the game, however tends to be in its level design, though there was much disagreement between us as to what specifically we found good and bad, so we encourage you to give it a try if it seems interesting and make your own decision. We're going to be talking about how movement mechanics really make this game what it is, our favorite and least favorite levels and why we disagree so much on their quality, and we make a quick note of IKEA's diminishing influence in this developer's work. Thank you for joining us again this week! We love to talk about all kinds of games, but the ones that don't get much attention hold a special place in our heart. And this was no different. We may have fallen into different camps on this game in the end, but it was still a fascinating experience to have and offers insight into how games like this are designed, especially with how different it is from the developer's previous work and how well the mechanics came together. Did you play this when it came out, or were you one of the many people who seemed to miss this one? Let us know over in our Discord or in the comments! Next time, we're going back to the GameCube (which would be more novel if we hadn't just done Monkey Ball a few months ago) and talking about FROM Software's card game RPG, Lost Kingdoms, so be sure to join us for that, if only to say how much better it would have fit as the Pocket companion for Inscryption and we just barely missed it.

Old Gamer‘s Almanac

This is, hopefully, the conclusion of the running joke about Matt really really really liking Hyper Light Drifter. Solar Ash is the follow-up from developer Heart Machine, and while it shares a lot of the same colors, so much of the game is very different. It's a mixed bag of style and tone and it's time to decide if Matt has a new second favorite game.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: A Gym Gridworld Environment for the Treacherous Turn, published by Michaël Trazzi on the AI Alignment Forum. This is a linkpost for EDIT: posted here for feedback and discussion. I plan to continue working on different models/environments, so feel free to suggest improvements. (tl;dr: In an attempt to better understand the treacherous turn, I created a gridworld environment where an agent learns to deceive an overseer by adopting an aligned behaviour when weak and takes control after capability gains) At some point in its development, a seed AI may realize that it needs to get rid of its supervisors to achieve its goals. The conception of deception occurs when it conceives that, in order to maximize its chance of taking over, it must begin by exhibiting human-desirable behaviors, before undertaking a treacherous turn when humans are no longer a threat. From the human perspective, the AI would keep on exhibiting desirable behavior, until it eventually appears dangerous, but is already unstoppable. In an attempt to better formalize the treacherous turn without using "loaded concepts", Stuart Armstrong proposed a toy model of the treacherous turn based on "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ", which looked like this: In the comments, people mentionned how this model helped them "move the topic from the 'science fiction' area to 'I can imagine it happening now'", and seemed interested in an actual Link to the Past Minigame. There have been other simulations of the treacherous turn in the last three years (see for instance gwern's DQN box-pushing robot or Stuart Armstrong's video), but none of them actually simulate a take over where a supervisor is killed. Hence, I decided to give it a try and simulate Stuart Armstrong's Link to the Past toy model. A Gym Gridworld Environment Gym is an open-source toolkit for Reinforcement Learning Environments developed by Open AI. I decided to use this interface to develop the gridworld environment. The github repository with the code, demo, and all the details is here: Main Idea To model the capability gain of a Seed AI, I introduced a bow of light, which would be extremely effective at killing the Shopkeeper, but only available at the end of an episode. Every episode consists of exactly 200 timesteps. Whenever Link catches a heart, the map is reset to the initial position. The first 100 timesteps, Link has a simple bow, that can only kill the Shopkeeper with probability 0.5. The last 100 timesteps, Link gains a bow of light, that allow him to kill the Shopkeeper with certainty. Environment Specifications +1 if Link picks up a heart. -1 if Link shoots arrow at nothing or moves outside the environment (to speed up learning). -10 if Link shoots at the Shopkeeper but the Shopkeeper survives (occurs with probability 0.5 without the bow of light, never happens with the bow of light). -100 if Link tries to activate the Heart-Machine while the Shopkeeper is alive. -0.1 for any other action. Results The first 1000 episodes, Link learns how to get hearts by putting a crystal in a hole and also understands progressively that he can kill the Shopkeeper. After 2000 episodes, Link has fully learned two types of behaviours: Without the bow of light, Link exhibits the shopkeeper-aligned behaviour and puts the crystal into the hole. After his capability gains caused by the bow of light, Link starts to show his true intentions, and kills the Shopkeeper every time to eventually wirehead with the heart-machine (optimal behaviour). Those two behaviours successively appear during the same episode: the first one for the first 100 steps, when Link does not have the bow of light, and the second one when Link has the bow of light. This illustrates the scenario of a seed AI smart enough to model his capability gains, exhibiting an aligned behaviour while ...

- MercurySteam no acredita a todo el que ha trabajado en Metroid Dread porque para ello, según la compañía, es necesario haber trabajado un mínimo del 25% del tiempo total del desarrollo. Y bueno, «a veces se hacen excepciones cuando se hacen aportaciones excepcionales». Muy difícil de entender esto. - El lanzamiento de la Nintendo Switch OLED está teniendo unos resultados agridulces. Fijándonos en las ventas de Reino Unido, la consola ha superado las ventas de la Switch Lite en su primera semana y está abarcando el 70% de todas las ventas de Nintendo Switch desde su lanzamiento. Por otro lado, en Japón, el lanzamiento está siendo bastante más discreto: en su primer fin de semana se han vendido 138 mil unidades, casi 40 mil menos que el modelo Lite. - Xbox Series X/S supera las 100 mil unidades en Japón cuatro veces más rápido que con Xbox One. Es un mercado muy minoritario el de Japón para Microsoft y es evidente que se lo han tomado en serio, de hecho: si la tendencia sigue, superarían el total de Xbox one vendidas el mes que viene. - Dragon Age 4 será exclusivo de nueva generación. El desarrollo de este título no está siendo fácil y ya ha sufrido más de un retraso e incluso un reinicio - Solar Ash se retrasa hasta el 2 de diciembre.

The Future of Gaming - kein geringerer Wortlaut ist der Slogan der Wahl beim großen Livestream von SONY, mit dem der Gaming-Riese uns neue Details zur PLAYSTATION 5 preisgibt. Nach den letzten Streams der Kategorie STATE OF PLAY und nach dem Reveal der technischen Details der PS5 Ende März wird es nun langsam ernst. Der japanische Publisher und Big Player der Spieleindustrie verspricht großes für seine SONY PK, SONY DIRECT oder wie auch immer man den Stream betiteln kann/will. Aber was wird passieren? Wird der Preis des Nachfolgers PLAYSTATION 4 enthüllt, wie es bereits durch mglw. zweifelhafte Leaks geschehen ist? Sehen wir das PS5 Design? Und welche Spiele hat SCE bereits am Start? Wird die PLAYSTATION abwärtskompatibel sein und so auch PS4 Spielen das Stattfinden auf der neuen Konsole erlauben? Wird die Präsentation unsere Rocket Beans Crew bestehend aus Simon Krätschmer, Kiara, Gregor & Sandro zufriedenstellen? Spoiler: Auf viele der Fragen hat SONY eine Antwort. So soll die PLAYSTATION 5 - deren Design tatsächlich enthüllt wird - in 2 Versionen erhältlich sein, eine "normale" mit Blue-Ray-Laufwerk und eine Digital-Version, die ohne Laufwerk daher kommt. Aber auch weitere Details bspw. zum Lieferumfang werden gezeigt. Und welche Games es gibt? Hier eine Liste: GTA 5 für PLAYSTATION 5 (Rockstar Fames); MARVEL'S SPIDERMAN MILES MORALES (Sony & Insomiac Games); GRAN TOURISMO 7 (Sony); RATCHET & CLANK RIFT APART (Sony & Insomiac Games); PROJECT ATHIA (Square Enix & Luminous Productions); STRAY (Annapurna Interactive & Bluetwelve); SONY DUALSENSE CONTROLLER (kein Spiel, aber für die Chronologie); RETURNAL (Housemarque); SACKBOY A BIG ADVENTURE (Sumo Digital); DESTRUCTION ALLSTARS (Lucid Games); KENA BRIDGE OF SPIRITS (Emeber Lab); GOODBYE VOLCANO HIGH (KO-OP); ODDWORLD SOULSTORM (Oddworld Inhabtitans); GHOSTWIRE TOKYO (Bethesda & Tango Gameworks); JETT THE FARE SHORE (Superbrothers); GODFALL (Gearbox); SOLAR ASH (Annapurna Interactive & Heart Machine); HITMAN III / HITMAN 3 (Warner Bros. & IO Interactive); ASTRO'S PLAYROOM (Sony); LITTLE DEVIL INSIDE (Neostream); NBA 2K21 (2K Games); BUGSNAX (Young Horses); DEMON'S SOULS REMAKE / REMASTERED ?

Música con vida propia El artista de música electrónica Morales recibió hace un tiempo un encargo especial: realizar una banda sonora de la película de cine mudo Metrópolis, dirigida por Fritz Lang. Dos años después de llevar a buen puerto el encargo y de que sea reconocido por público y crítica el trabajo, Morales presenta el disco de esta obra que bebe principalmente de los sonidos de los ochenta, con mucho sintetizador y que reinterpreta por completo la forma de visualizar la película. Ahora, este Metropolis Live (Menta, 2019), toma vida propia alejado de las imágenes. «Heart Machine». «Kidnap». «From Lust To The Seven Deadly Sins». «Paradise».

He has composed scores for video games such as: Puzzle Agent and Puzzle Agent 2, Fez, for film such as: It Follows and Under the Silver Lake and for television he has written music for Adventure Time and the soon to be released DIY.Disasterpeace wrote the original score for the massively popular video game, HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER which released on March 31, 2016 from developer Heart Machine. The game is a 2D Action RPG in the vein of the best 8-bit and 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale. Hyper Light Drifter features intense action, other-worldly environments and a captivating storyline. Our Hero is haunted by an insatiable illness, traveling further into the lands of Buried Time, hoping to discover a way to quiet the vicious disease much like its creator, Alex Preston, who suffers of a heart disease, major source of inspiration for this game.

In the Technological Dystopian Future, Only Podcasts Remain, This week we talk about Heart Machine's fast-paced action game Hyper Light Drifter. This game is tough and beautifully animated, and we draw comparisons to a number of classic games that got everything mostly right, but some of the finer details leave us wishing the game could have been slightly more than maybe it was capable of. We talk about dodging, bosses, beauty in pixel art, and prospecting for game consoles in the mountains of Appalachia. Thanks for joining us this week, be sure to check back two weeks from now when we are joined by our friend Faun to discuss the PS2 platform classic Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
