![]() After giving exposition of how Planet Freedom works (explaining the two "dimensions" of the planet, The Land of the Sky, and The Land of Darkness), Robotnik explains that a giant mecha named Metal Robotnik ("Black Eggman" in the original Japanese release) has exiled him from his utopian city of Robotropolis ("Eggmanland" in the original) and sabotaged the Robot Generator, which will explode by sunrise the next day. Robotnik has taken the President and his daughter Sara prisoner. Sonic the Hedgehog is relaxing on the beach of South Island with Miles "Tails" Prower, when Old Man Owl arrives with a message from the President asking Sonic to come to his office. The city and terrain strongly imply that Planet Freedom is a post apocalyptic Earth that was built upon with floating islands, with certain landmarks suggesting that the ruins are those of New York City. Most of its terrain is untamed and mountainous, but a crumbling city serves as the location of Robotnik's empire. The Land of Darkness can only be accessed in one of two ways: by a whirlwind-like "portal" in the Land of the Sky, or via a warp zone, an extradimensional link between two points on Planet Freedom. ![]() The Land of Darkness is the actual surface of Planet Freedom, a post-apocalyptic wilderness with the dastardly Robotnik as its sole living inhabitant. According to Knuckles, if this ice network was destroyed, Planet Freedom's rotation would hurl the Land of the Sky into outer space, undoubtedly killing everyone on it. The Land of the Sky consists of an unknown number of continents that drift high in the stratosphere of the planet, all of them connected to a massive ice formation which also serves to anchor them to the planet's surface below. Unlike other Sonic the Hedgehog media, the setting of the series is in the world of Planet Freedom, which is split into two distinct realms: the Land of the Sky and the Land of Darkness. Taking the English dub into consideration, it is also the first Sonic animated media to not feature Jaleel White voicing the titular character. Robotnik in the English release), Metal Sonic and a few supporting characters created exclusively for the OVA. The anime features Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Dr. The series was later licensed and dubbed in English by ADV Films, which released it as a single direct-to-video film on September 7, 1999, to coincide with the international release of Sonic Adventure. Produced by Pierrot and directed by Kazunori Ikegami, the OVA was originally released in Japan on Janu(1st episode) and Ma(2nd episode). Sonic the Hedgehog ( ソニック★ザ★ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejjihoggu) or Sonic the Hedgehog the Movie, is a two-part 1996 Japanese original video animation (OVA) based on the video game franchise by Sega.

![]() You’ll never get back.” Then I saw that Melissa Stark was named the reporter for “Sunday Night Football” and that felt like a huge turning point for me, to see somebody go away from the sideline and come back in such a prominent role. I think if you had told me you have to leave your sideline job to go do something like this, I would have been like, “You never leave the sideline. I circle back to what I would have thought about this job five years ago. It felt like it was the time to broaden beyond sideline reporting, which is a great job. I think five or eight years ago, I would have thought I could do this job, but I bet I wouldn’t have been as good at it as I probably will be today, hopefully. We get to talk, we get to have our opinions, and we jump off the news and everything that’s happening in the NFL. ![]() This job with “Good Morning Football” is about talent. I try to wrap my head around the job this way: My job at CBS was to support the broadcast as the game unfolded. It’s different than what I had done for eight years at CBS, and they were amazing years. Here are some excerpts from our conversation, which you can listen to in full in the player below. Last week, I had a long sit-down with Erdahl on her new NFL Network role and how she navigated being a working mother in a high-profile sports gig. Erdahl was part of the group with Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel that took a magical ride last March with Saint Peter’s. She also hopes CBS is open to her continuing to work the NCAA Tournament as a sideline reporter. Those are a lot of great boxes to check in the next couple of years.”Įrdahl said she hopes to continue to do some work for CBS, including guest spots on “We Need To Talk,” which airs on CBS Sports Network and CBS. It’s going to make me a better professional. This is going to be really good for myself and my family in terms of the contract I agreed to, and that’s as much as I can hope for right now. That’s just a skill set in and of itself that I don’t have yet, but I can’t wait to have it. What I’ve really come to terms with is if you can be on television three hours a day live and talk about any topic, you can do any kind of TV for three hours a day. It doesn’t just have to be sports stuff, either. “Not saying that it has changed it to the course of I’ll remain in studio, but it will open up, as long as I do well, a wide variety of things. “I’ve said to my family and close circle of people that I feel like this has changed the trajectory of my career,” Erdahl said. That now changes as she debuts Monday as the new host of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.” She replaces Kay Adams on that program, alongside Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Will Selva and Jason McCourty. Erdahl has spent the last eight years mostly as a road warrior given her assignments at CBS, which included the NFL and NCAA Tournament as well as the best SEC football games. ![]() What really was miraculous and the best about digital art software is the magic switch between pixel and vector formats! It was just a matter of clicks. Nevertheless, rediscovering the digital art tools in a new form was both exciting and unusual. Many new and unfamiliar drawing tools and features, packed in a colorful interface caused a mild confusion. When we had received the early access to Affinity Designer to give it a go for the first time before the official software release, everything was so unusual: in terms of feelings it was like you already know how to ride a bike but you had to ride a completely new version of the same very bike. But the strong sides of Adobe Illustrator cover it all up and let you enjoy the workflow. Sometimes it shuts down with an error, which is very irritating. It’s both a benefit and a disadvantage, actually: because of the loaded software system, the app can be very slow, lag and overload the PC. The thing many people point out about working in Adobe Illustrator is that you can create complex files of any type: from logotypes, graphs, presentations, website updates to hand-drawn illustrations. But here everything can be scaled without losing the quality! If you come to this software after Photoshop, the instruments and interface won’t be completely new for you, it’s easy to use. Of course, it has tons of handy creative brushes too! And filters, and type tools, and editing functions, and all of that Photoshop can boast with. So if you’re more comfortable with working in vector, it’s Adobe Illustrator drawing tool you need to get right away. However, there is a major difference between Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator - the latter allows creating vector graphics. abr brushes being released, so once you open this app you can stay in there to perform any operation from drawing digital illustration to photo editing the ready-made composition. And when we bring up the talk about best digital art software, it’s mostly Adobe Photoshop that gets mentioned as an industry standard. Any of the professional artistscan relate to that.ĭespite its name, which literally states that this app is for creating digital illustration and drawing, Adobe Illustrator was surpassed by its closest equivalent - Adobe Photoshop. But honestly, working in multiple layers can slow down work to the turtle pace and spend so much system resources. It’s not totally the art software to blame but the system workload, compatibility questions and stuff. What does it mean? You can still wobble on the iceberg peak with only, let’s say, 30% of discovered creative possibilities and still feel absolutely comfortable about it, not deprived of any photo editing or digital painting tools.Īdobe Photoshop has its downsides too. But it happens to be the way that your standard set of operations slightly changes over the years once it settles. ![]() The longer you work with this painting program, the more functional tools you discover. ![]() The Adobe Creative Cloud drawing apps eco-system, makes accessing and sharing assets via any device a super easy process: your data is safe. It’s simply the classic versatile software everyone must try out. And Adobe Photoshop has proved to be exactly that kind of digital art software! When you start your creative path in design, getting acquainted with Photoshop software for digital art is some sort of a baptism by fire, the obligatory step in upgrading your graphic design skill level. And we tend to fully believe that statement with a little side note attached: free drawing software or a paid one, the main criterion should be the programs’ ability to fulfil any need. Some say, that it’s a half of success, when the drawing tools are of a high quality to let you follow the spirit of imagination not tied up by the absence of required drawing tool, lagging tabs and strokes. Perhaps, the very first drawing software coming to mind when speaking of creativity and graphic design is Adobe Photoshop. Instead of damage we focus entirely on Movement Speed and Cooldown Reduction. Second, Bombardment oneshots everything short of the Rift Guardian even without the set. First, it's incredibly clunky and you need to stop to hit or get hit all the time to get stacks. In T16 variant we drop Thorns of the Invoker set entirely.
Therefore, you will visit the Bank to get some coins. The thing is, the game only has one currency – coins. In Homescapes, the in-game store is called the Bank. Nothing reflects a game’s monetization strategy like its in-game store. Homescapes In-App Purchases Strategy and Setup Now let’s see about how all of this blends together. Nevertheless, the game recently added a subscription option to the mix. Homescapes monetization is set around in-app purchases and the match-3 board. It is noteworthy that this game uses a very similar monetization approach to its forerunner – Gardenscapes. In this game, Playrix showed there is more than one way to monetize puzzle players. Which Monetization Models Homescapes Uses? For example, you will see features like in-game events and IAP offers come and go. ![]() Here’s a basic overview of the game’s user interface:īesides this, the interface is flexible for any kind of add-ons. You cannot afford bad UX and have UI confuse players or cause misunderstandings. This is very important for any game with a casual audience. The user experience in Homescapes is intuitive and simple. It becomes even more colorful when different boosters cause explosions on the board. Moreover, the match-3 board is colorful and diverse. For example, all the furniture in the house is drawn with realistic shading and tiny details. However, the game’s cartoonish style is very well polished. If it weren’t a game, Homescapes could easily pass for a cartoon. Later in the game, he keeps on introducing you to every new feature that appears in the game. You can help him out with some puzzle-solving and interior design picks.Īt the start, he guides you through everything you need to do with some pointers and explanations. Austin the butler returns to his childhood mansion to give it a complete makeover. Homescapes starts with an intro video that evokes these nostalgic feelings. Are they controversial as well? Keep reading to find out. We’re here to talk about other factors that drive this game’s success. Read all about it in our detailed analysis. To resolve this, the publisher had to make quite a lot of live ops to the games. They got banned for being misleading and “not representing actual gameplay”. In 2020, Playrix’s ads were the talk of the town in the gaming industry. Without a doubt, the game’s advertising strategy played a huge role in all of this. Interestingly, even though India is the number one country in terms of Homescapes downloads, it is the 35th country in terms of revenue, bringing ‘only’ $5.5 million. Other big markets for Homescapes in terms of revenue are Japan, Germany, China, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. The majority of revenue comes from the United States (more than $1 billion), which is expected. To this day, Homescapes has earned more than $2.5 billion in revenue. ![]() Now let’s talk about what keeps every publisher’s heart warm – the revenue. The majority of downloads are coming from India, followed by the United States, Russia, Brazil, China, Mexico, and Indonesia. However, since the second half of 2021, the downloads have been dropping. All-time Homescapes downloads stand at more than 540 million, which is impressive and a testament to this game’s popularity. ![]() It has 63 articles specifically applicable to war at sea. ![]() It closely follows the provisions of the first Geneva Convention in structure and content. This Convention replaced Hague Convention of 1907 for the Adaptation to Maritime Warfare of the Principles of the Geneva Convention. The second Geneva Convention protects wounded, sick and shipwrecked military personnel at sea during war. It has two annexes containing a draft agreement relating to hospital zones and a model identity card for medical and religious personnel. The Convention also recognizes the distinctive emblems. These provide protection for the wounded and sick, but also for medical and religious personnel, medical units and medical transports. This Convention represents the fourth updated version of the Geneva Convention on the wounded and sick following those adopted in 1864, 19. The first Geneva Convention protects wounded and sick soldiers on land during war. Those responsible for grave breaches must be sought, tried or extradited, whatever nationality they may hold. They contain stringent rules to deal with what are known as " grave breaches". The Conventions and their Protocols call for measures to be taken to prevent or put an end to all breaches. They specifically protect people who are not taking part in the hostilities (civilians, health workers and aid workers) and those who are no longer participating in the hostilities, such as wounded, sick and shipwrecked soldiers and prisoners of war. ![]() The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols are at the core of international humanitarian law, the body of international law that regulates the conduct of armed conflict and seeks to limit its effects. ![]() He is irreplaceable against bot waves in Doom Tower and extremely useful in battles with Demon Lord and Hydra clan bosses. Ma’Shalled shows excellent results in Dragon’s Lair, Minotaur’s Labyrinth, Fire Knight’s Castle, and all Keeps. In addition, Ma’Shalled applies useful buffs to the team and has a powerful aura that gives +34% attack for the entire team in dungeons. Thanks to such insane wave control, Ma’Shalled is the best hero for completing Doom Tower and most dungeons (excluding Seer). At the same time, Ma’Shalled can apply the True Fear debuff to all enemies, which has a 75% chance of depriving them of their turn. His unique mechanic is that with his A1, Ma’Shalled deals damage to all enemies, which is not considered “ AoE“: first, he attacks one opponent, and then the others separately. He will be equally useful in almost all game modes. In terms of effectiveness, Ma’Shalled is indeed close to Acrizia. Waves It’s hard to imagine a more useful and versatile champion. In PVP, she will be just another ordinary damage dealer and nothing more. ![]() However, Acrizia is unlikely to impress you in the arena, as her skills are poorly adapted for battles with other players. All 3 of her skills deal damage based on the enemy’s maximum health, making her extremely effective in all PVE modes. №1: Acrizia – Queen of BossesĪll experienced players know that the most valuable PVE heroes are those that deal damage scaling from the target’s maximum health. And if you read the description of each of the heroes, you will be convinced of this. Therefore, I want to warn you right away that this selection may not meet your expectations, but it is as objective as possible. The uniqueness of each hero’s mechanics is also important: the harder it is to replace them, the more valuable they are. The versatility of the champions played the most significant role in this list, which, in my opinion, is more important than super efficiency in one specific game mode. The list was based on the assessment of the value of each individual hero. ![]() From my experience, I decided to compile this selection of best heroes in RAID: Shadow Legends. I have been playing RAID for about 3 years, and during that time I have studied many game mechanics. №19: Hurndig – One of the Best DD in the Game №18: Leorius the Proud – One of the Strongest DD №17: Gnishak Verminlord – One of the Best DD in the Game №15: Trunda Giltmallet – One of the Strongest DD №13: Teodor the Savant – Poisonous Support №10: Duchess Lilitu – Strongest Universal Support Ninja will reveal his Raid: Shadow Legends character's traits and abilities during a stream on July 19 - if he can tear himself away from his recent run of Magicman-pleasing Final Fantasy XI streams.№9: Vlad the Nightborn – The Most Powerful PVE Control in the Game As he put it, he's "really excited to introduce RAID fans to my Champion, which was designed to match how I've always pictured myself in an RPG." If that's true, then he's got a much better imagination than I do. He's a fancy Sephiroth cosplayer.Īs PC Gamer noted, Ninja has never streamed Raid: Shadow Legends, but I'm $ure there are several reason$ why he'$ promoting it now. What you'll get is a character whose face and head resemble Ninja's, but whose body - well, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a crystalline blue arm and bow, and a wing. On the bright side, those days don't need to be consecutive, so you can spread your seven logins over the entire three-month period. To acquire him, you'll need to log in on seven days over three months, after which he'll no longer be available. That's so unfair.Īccording to a press release, Ninja's character will be attainable starting on July 16. There's no evidence that mega-streamer Ninja has ever played it either, yet he's about to get a character in the game and I'm not. I have never played Raid: Shadow Legends, the free-to-play, gacha-heavy mobile RPG that has probably served more ads in the past year than McDonald's has served burgers. ![]() This means that you'll need at least nine pieces of sugar cane for your map.

"Bedrock Edition" will also let you start a new game with a map already equipped. Important: If you're playing " Minecraft: Bedrock Edition," you can also combine nine pieces of paper for a basic map that will still draw the land around you, but won't track your location. Both the paper and compass can be crafted with raw materials that you'll dig and scavenge for within your world. Here is my huge minecraft city I have been working on for a couple of years. To make a map in Minecraft, you'll need one compass and eight pieces of paper. You can also download the latest version of the map so you can check it out for yourself on Xbox 360 ( here) and PC ( here).There are three ways to get a map in "Minecraft:" make one, trade for one, or find one in a chest. You can see an overview in the city in the pictures and video below. "Some are furnished," but every one of them has a "basic interior," and "a good amount have elevators and stairs." In addition, "some roads have underground rail and a large, aboveground rail system runs throughout the city." On April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City. What's most impressive about the buildings is that, while they look nice from the outside, all of them have floors. It's a remarkable achievement, and in a thread on Reddit, Colonial Puppet says the city is nearly complete.Īt some point, the city will be moved to PC, where a number of new buildings have already been built so that they can be added. Titan City is the work of YouTube user Colonial Puppet, who hand-placed an estimated 4.5 million blocks to create this map in the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft. The latest example of this is one player who, over the course of two years, constructed a huge city filled with roads, a rail system, skyscrapers, and more. ![]() Minecraft players are always building awe-inspiring things. |
