Bonds, rebonds et vagabonds au programme de l'Hebdo cette semaine !Au cœur de cette nouvelle émission, la critique par Gautoz de Relooted, nouveau titre du studio sud-africain Nyamakop, qui met en scène la récupération du patrimoine africain dans un jeu de braquage en 2,5D.Cette dernière sera accompagné d'une nouvelle chronique d'Héloïse, qui est allée interroger des membres du studio pour sur le sujet de l'african futurisme, dont se réclame Relooted.Moguri vous parlera quant à lui de son premier contact assez poussé avec Mario Tennis Fever, dernier épisode de la série de Camelot, qui se présente comme un divertissement tout à fait valable mais peut-être pas suffisamment profond pour tenir sur la durée.Enfin, Gauthier et Florian se chargeront de vous transmettre leur avis sur Styx : Blades of Greed, troisième volet de la franchise d'infiltration de Cyanide et rare représentant du double A ambitieux mais en manque de moyens.Le tour de l'actualité se fera cette fois encore en plateau en attendant le retour de vacances de notre Hubert national, et vous aurez droit à un petit peu de "hors captif" comme on dit, avec le retour de Gautoz sur le long-métrage Send Help de Sam Raimi.Chapitrage(00:00) Sommaire(04:27) L'actu JV de la semaine(24:48) On y a joué - Mario Tennis Fever(41:00) Critique Relooted(01:00:55) On discute avec les dév de Relooted(1:18:30) Critique Styx 3 Blades of Steel(1:46:05) Les recos culturelles de la semaine Hébergé par Acast.

Mokha shares insights on character design, the challenges of balancing cultural authenticity with futuristic elements, and offers advice for aspiring animators and game developers. This is a must-listen conversation as we highlight the educational value of the game and its potential impact on understanding African history and culture.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Animation and Game Design02:41 The Origin of Reluited05:23 Cultural Significance and Narrative Depth07:44 Character Design and Animation Process10:29 Afrofuturism and Its Impact13:27 Unity in Diversity: The Pan-African Perspective14:51 Cultural Appreciation and Artistic Expression16:11 Influences of Afrofuturism in Media17:33 Balancing Futurism with Cultural Authenticity19:34 The Evolution of African Narratives in Gaming21:24 Advice for Aspiring African Creators22:34 Promoting the Upcoming Game Release24:54 Educational Value in Gaming and Cultural AwarenessBaddestChaplain's Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

My guests today are Ben Myres and Cukia ‘Sugar' Kimani, co-founders of South African based game studio Nyamakop, creators of the inventive 'Clay Doh' platformer Semblance. They are also excellent, inspiring company with an infectious passion for video games.We talk about their diverse paths to game development, from childhood where Ben assumed videogames had been around forever and was taught gamemaker in primary school (!) and Sugar's knock off Dreamcast bought from a roadside stall in Nairobi, and playing co-op Doom in school (one person aiming, one person moving)We hit on how Age of Empires and Prince of Persia Sands of Time blew their respective minds. Why Ben played the intro of Final Fantasy X over and over again, why GTA was the only game Sugar needed and ultimately to how they came to form Nyamakop in a rom-com worthy meet cute.There is a clear pride they both take in the burgeoning African video game scene, and they talk about how that came to be, how one of the companies founding principles is YOLO, how they keep themselves inspired when the work becomes a struggle, and how they won’t stop until they get that gold hot tub. This episode is a good time"Diplomatic immunity!"PATREON - patreon.com/checkpointsiTunes HERE - SUBSCRIBE / RATE / REVIEWTheme song by Samuel BakerArt work by Craig Stevenson

In this episode we explore the world of indie game development. Kenneth and Kevin are joined by Sean Goncalves (@The_Son_of_Wolf) and Ben Myres (@_benjamming) from Nyamakop (@_Nyamakop), makers of independent games in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. We touch on the difference between "AAA" and "indie" games, tools of the trade, the experiences of releasing a game, and how accurate the Indie Game movie is. Ben & Sean share their experiences and observations and offers a ton of great insights and advice, and many ways to get involved in making games. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a very active and successful community of game makers in South Africa. There are plenty of opportunities for beginners and experts alike to get involved with game development, and we hope to have helped clear some of the fog of war surrounding the topic.
