So Anthem came out to people that didn't subscribe to EA's "premier" origin sub service and well it's just dull.
First up the network and connection issues in the demo and beta are mostly cleared up now which is one thing I had a couple of disconnects or weird network problems but no more than you just get anyway it was mostly solid.
It's the single revive I did on the guy who went round killing everyone for us, carrying us to victory.
Well, this is a lot easier than bloody Lightwave (LW), that's for sure. I want to open source Icar, so I've decided to start rebuilding my models in Blender. Most of the original LW are old, tired and have dodgy renders, so I am happy to redo. It's so much easier to learn 2.8; even given that most of the tutorials use the lightyears-different 2.7 UI rather than the sexy 2.8.
Gill got me the Lego Technic Rough Terrain Crane for my birthday, and this weekend I sat down and missioned my way through building it.
F76 has been a bit of a disaster a broken game that is buggy as hell and just not all that fun.
Then there was the canvas bag saga where the super special 200 dollar edition which should have shipped with a canvas bag shipped with a nylon trash bag
Then they offered a couple of dollars in store currency in exchange (not enough to buy a virtual bag)
Then they offered to fix that but leaked all the people personal data
2018 was largely wasted. Yeah, I did some stuff (Cloudship, got most of my teeth sorted) but 2019 is going to be the year of doing stuff. The next six months is going to be hard because Kate is starting doing therapy on real people and it's going to be the hardest part of her career. To help, the family has to adjust around her a bit more and that usually means me picking up the slack. That's cool, we've known it's coming since Kate started. That means that I need to be better organised and do the thinking so that when I do get free time, I can just get on with it.
1) Financial Stability
Did a little test of the multiplayer systems in godot surprisingly easy to get something basic going
made a little tank game
This was on my radar but then was suddenly out the other day I guess there's been so many games recently I lost track.
Anyway I had a go last night here are my thoughts.
Similar to JC3 you are on some island fighting an evil man with a private army called the black hand. They also have weather modification tech which is the new gimmick there are sand storms and massive lightning storms and tornadoes etc.
So I decided to preorder fallout 76, I'm trying not to preorder at all these days it's of limited benefit in this fully digital distribution world and it really only benefits the publisher. The only times I do now are when you get something worth having for preordering with fallout 76 you got access to the beta. Now the beta doesn't actually run very long it's currently 4 sessions the first one xbox one exclusive and then one that was yesterday and then two this weekend. Then the game goes live on the 15th of november.
