![]() ![]() “ Bad North made a bunch of money, so I wasn’t in any hurry to make new money. “Let’s just make the environment very grey… just think of the environment as a canvas on top of which the game can take place,” Stålberg recalls thinking. They can be the focus, which was really fun.”īy comparison, Bad North’s environments were purposefully drained of colour, in order to make its battling armies stand out as clearly as possible. “Without the constraint of putting a game on top of it… I can focus entirely on the beautiful environments, and as they don’t need to leave any visual space for anything else. “And I also noticed this aesthetic thing, where if your game’s environments are very colourful and detailed, then it’s very hard to put a game on top of it, because then the relevant gameplay elements need to be even more colourful still,” he points out astutely. So that wasn’t really an option,” he replies. “I wanted to make a game that I could finish in a year. Or at least not that was both fun and simple to make.” We suggest maybe some kind of simple SimCity type title would be the obvious choice. “I tried to turn those architectural environments into a game, but I didn’t manage to turn them into something that was much fun. And I was at a point in my career where I figured: ‘OK, this seems like a cool little thing. “I started making these very colourful architectural environments that are quite similar to Townscaper. And while the projects are very different, in fact you could say one was a reaction to the other, there are also some shared concepts, such as procedural tile-based generation. Previous project Bad North was just wrapping up at the time. But I knew that I should learn a bunch of technical things, I had a couple of algorithms, and I wanted to try out some new technical approaches.” With a little practice there’s a lot you can do with the apparently simple toolset So the plan then was for Stålberg to make a “more ambitious, bigger, one of those things.” Still, he goes on to admit that: “I didn’t know if it was going to make much money. So I knew that people liked those kinds of things.” But whenever I would encounter people in the games industry, a lot of people had played with it. “I knew that Brick Block had been very popular, I don’t have numbers on it, as it’s free and I don’t have any proper tracking. It’s an obvious precursor to Townscaper, letting anyone create charming little brick buildings in their browser. The next stepping-stone was browser-based creative tool Brick Block. ![]() And when I would go on a train, I would scroll through the pictures and choose one to draw on.” “When I went out in nature, I would take nice little pictures and have a collection. He worked on these while on long train rides across Sweden to see relatives. Stålberg drew them on using a tablet and an app, which kickstarted a whole series of such images. And I thought, that would be fun with some houses on.” When I still worked at Ubisoft I saw a photo a colleague had taken of a half-rotten tree stump. “I tend to oscillate between making climates and small architectural dioramas,” he explains.īut earlier than that, Stålberg was obviously keen on architecture in miniature form. Stålberg tells us that Townscaper is “the latest instalment in an ongoing exploration of tile-based procedural generation.” Before this project, he experimented with the method across a number of personal projects as well as a big indie title: Bad North – which he created as a part of studio Plausible Concept. Instead, looking back at creator Oskar Stålberg’s previous work, you can see a clear line through his projects leading up to this point. ![]() Unlike the little towns you make, Townscaper hasn’t just popped out of nowhere perfectly-formed.

![]() With that being said however, there has always been one major function neglected in the Final Cut Pro application…it’s rudimentary text editor. I’ve never understood why Apple could continue to make such great improvements to the application while completely ignoring one of it’s most necessary tools. In 2001, Boris introduced it’s Calligraphy plug-in for integration into FCP version 3 (and included in later versions of FCP). This was a bit of an improvement over the built-in text generator - but still left quite a lot to be desired. It’s clunky, has a poorly designed interface and at times can be downright buggy. There had to be a better way.įast forward nearly 10 years later and we may finally be a bit closer to effectively integrating text into Final Cut Pro… Noise Industries, makers of plug-ins and plug-in management software, have recently released “Manifesto” a much improved (free) text generator for Final Cut Pro. Manifesto is not a completely re-imagined product. Rather, it takes the models set forth by the aforementioned Boris text generators and greatly improves on it. Let’s take an in-depth look at Manifesto, how to download/install it and how it can greatly improve how you handle text in Final Cut Pro. Manifesto is a free application that is designed to be integrated into the Noise Industries plug-in management tool called FXFactory. For those not familiar, FXFactory is a visual FX suite that supports a large number of plug-ins for Final Cut Pro. One of the main benefits of FXFactory plug-ins is that they are built on the FXPlug plug-in architecture. This means these effects are rendered on your computer’s GPU (graphics processing unit) instead of on the system processor, amounting to faster rendering and generally powerful performance. FXFactory is a free download and comes bundled up with quite a few free plug-ins (additional plug-ins can also be purchased through Noise Industries and other third party vendors). Download FXFactory here.Īs you may have guessed, in order to run Manifesto you will need a current copy of FXFactory running on your system….so make sure to that first. Once, FXFactory is installed, d ownload Manifesto from the Noise Industries site and install it as well. Once you boot up FCP again you’ll see Manifesto in the Browser’s Effect tab under Video Generators > FxFactory Freebies > Manifesto (Roll/Crawl) and Manifesto (Static). ![]() Sadly, this is how many men and women in our community view depression. I “didn’t need help.” I just needed to stop being “weak” and keep it moving. ![]() I recall a low time in my life where my ex insisted that “talking to someone” about my depression was a “waste of time,” as a counselor, doctor, psychiatrist, whatever, wasn’t really going to “care” about my issues. The myths and shame surrounding mental health issues can cause confusion and unnecessary pain. Why Men Suffer In Silence Dale Horth climbed to the top of the logging industry-and just as fast, it was all taken away. I should know because I experienced this first hand. The stigma attached to mental illness is very real and it causes many people to suffer in silence. Yet, a past study published by the American Psychological Association indicates that young African Americans, especially those with higher levels of education, are less likely to seek mental health services than their White counterparts. Suffering in Silence Depression affects nearly 16 million Americans every year. ![]() Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Services, Blacks are 20% more likely to report having serious psychological distress, like depression, than the general population.

With instantly loveable art, a true sense of strategic diversity, and constant updates since, Fieldrunners set a very high bar for tower defence on your phone…or anywhere else for that matter.Įnter Fieldrunners 2: a sequel with tons to prove, whose biggest strength is arguably that it doesn’t try too hard to prove anything at all. At a time when titles like Grand Theft Auto IV and Rock Band 2 were capturing audiences everywhere, Fieldrunners broke the mold and found itself along these heavy hitters on Time Magazine’s list of 2008’s top 10 video games. Tied inexorably to the App Store itself, the original Fieldrunners is a title that made a name for itself when mobile culture was doing the same thing. The people who who get their hands on a sequel on release day, play it for a little while, and immediately start complaining that it’s “just like the first one!” These people haven’t played Fieldrunners 2. That in order to stand out, it has to veer of the beaten path and introduce new features, and in some cases, an entirely new play style. Some people argue that it isn’t enough for a sequel to do what made the original great. ![]() This is something we are not willing to give up.I hear you like Fieldrunners…so we put more Fieldrunners in your Fieldrunners.

Obviously, there had to be an API involved behind the scenes, which Matter hadn’t announced yet, but which I could potentially reverse-engineer and integrate with Shortcuts. If Matter didn’t have a public API, how could the Obsidian plugin even sync to the Matter service? Something about it piqued my interest though: Integration with PKM-style apps is a hot trend right now in the modern crop of read-later services (John covered this very topic here), so I wasn’t shocked to see that Matter joined Readwise in supporting Obsidian with a plugin.
