![]() ![]() “ War Robots is a very strong game and it will certainly live for a long time, but it will end eventually. Though he anticipates the market will see new shooter games and more sophisticated mobile racing games, he won’t reveal what Pixonic’s currently working on. Games will be more difficult and will target smaller but increasingly involved and loyal audiences.” “I think that the mobile market will become more complex with more niches and specializations. “No one does Match 3-type games anymore because you just can’t compete with King,” said Vladimir. Looking forward, Pixonic sees the market for casual- and hyper-casual games as saturated with a high barrier to entry. There’s been minimal if any cannibalization from other income streams, and no impact on churn at all. “Paying users are your most loyal audience – they treat your game as a hobby and they want to get every reward they can get!” With rewarded video ads, War Robots’ revenue increased 6%, amounting to millions of dollars annually. High-level players watched ads more than low-level players, and users who had previously made IAPs watched more than non-paying users: 66% versus 44%. Pixonic found that 40% of iOS and 50% of Android players watched the rewarded ads. Quest completion (good for getting through less-interesting tasks)īlack Market chests (very popular random gifts)įaster supply replenishment (in addition to receiving a crate after each battle)Īccording to Vladimir, “The video ads didn’t influence the tutorial funnel at all because people didn’t leave the game, and we actually got positive feedback from players who liked the incentives.” Quick and instant upgrades (especially effective with newcomers) It was important for Pixonic to vary their offers and give players a choice, so they implemented ads in War Robots as follows:ĭouble rewards after a battle (but only occasionally) Additionally, rewarded videos do twice as well as non-rewarded videos.Īccording to Vladimir, “We had a lot of heated arguments, but we decided to give rewarded video ads a try.” Their starting guidelines for the ads were: make them work for top-, middle-, and low-level player segments target new players quickly (because they tend to churn early) limit sequential ads and, limit the ad reward to the equivalent of two or three cents per ad. Unity’s own research showed Pixonic convincing data: 71% of users prefer monetization through video ads and only 4-5% of players respond to IAP in free-to-play games. “But we saw that other games used ads quite successfully, increasing revenues and not losing players.” By letting players access premium content by watching ads rather than making IAP, they experience richer gameplay and can be drawn deeper into the game, enhancing retention. “We didn’t like ads, and we got a lot of feedback from the Facebook community that players didn’t either,” said Vladimir. Pixonic started off monetizing War Robots with in-app purchases (IAP), but as the game’s popularity grew, the team considered video ads. I’d say we are still a development team rather than a live-ops team.” “I did that, and we’ve been adding features on the fly ever since. “I’m not sure if we have integrated a live-ops strategy for War Robots, as it’s very much still in development, but we’re continually adding features.” He joined Pixonic in 2015, after the game’s release, and his first job was fixing design bugs. What many call “live ops,” Vladimir would probably call “kaizen” – continuous improvement. This constant sharing and learning contributes to another strong attribute of the Pixonic culture. “When they return,” Vladimir said, “we ask them to share, sometimes as speakers, what they learned with others both inside and outside the company.” Pixonic sends some developers to a number of industry events such as Game Developers Conference (GDC), Tokyo Game Show (TGS), White Nights, Unity’s Unite conferences, and many others. No single company possesses all the expertise in the industry, so why keep everything you do secret? The market is huge and it’s big enough for all of us.” ![]() “Sharing experiences helps both us and other developers. “We want to change that,” declared Vladimir Krasilnikov, Head of Game Design at Pixonic. The tight Russian economy promotes fierce competition, and many view the gaming industry as closed and isolated. Pixonic has consistently fostered an open studio culture both externally and internally. ![]()

Claiborne, whom he appointed on an interim basis, and who arrived in New Orleans with 350 volunteers and eighteen boats. President Thomas Jefferson then turned to a fellow Virginian, William C.C. negotiated the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, both the Marquis de Lafayette and James Monroe declined to become the Territorial Governor. More than half of those enslaved may have been born outside Louisiana, many in Africa, where various European nations established slave trading outposts and Kongo was ripped apart by civil wars. ![]() Some accounts claimed blacks outnumbered whites by nearly five to one by 1810, and about 90% of whites in the area owned slaves. However, they replicated the brutal conditions which had led to numerous revolts in Haiti-the high profits were made by working slaves longer hours and punishing them more brutally, so that they lived shorter lives than any other slave society in North America. They converted from cotton and indigo plantations to sugar cane, so that by 1802, 70 sugar plantations produced over 3,000 tons in a year. Īfter the Haitian slave revolution, planters attempted to establish similar lucrative sugarcane plantations on the Gulf Coast, resulting in a dense slave population. That slave uprising during the Easter holidays was suppressed before it came to fruition, and resulted in 23 executions by hanging (with the decapitated heads then displayed on the road to New Orleans) and 31 additional slaves were flogged and sent to serve hard labor in other Spanish outposts. A decade later, during the height of the French Revolution, Spanish officials discovered a slave conspiracy at Pointe Coupee (established by French settlers around 1720 between Natchez and New Orleans). Malo became a folk hero after his execution in New Orleans on June 19, 1784. In the 1780s, Jean Saint Malo, an escaped slave, established a colony of maroons in the swamps below New Orleans, which eventually led Spanish officials to send militia, who captured him. The sugar boom on what was known as Louisiana's German Coast (named for immigrants in the 1720s) began after the American Revolutionary War, while the area near New Orleans was still controlled by Spain. Since 1995, the African American History Alliance of Louisiana has led an annual commemoration in January of the uprising, in which they have been joined by some descendants of participants in the revolt. Heads were displayed on pikes to intimidate other slaves. ![]() Executions were generally by hanging or firing squad. Over the next two weeks, white planters and officials interrogated, tried, executed, and decapitated an additional 44 escaped slaves who had been captured. White men led by officials of the territory formed militia companies, and in a battle on January 10 killed 40 to 45 of the escaped slaves while suffering no fatalities themselves, then hunted down and killed several others without trial. During their two-day, twenty-mile march, the men burned five plantation houses (three completely), several sugarhouses, and crops. Some accounts claimed a total of 200 to 500 slaves participated. Confrontations with militia and executions after trial killed 95 black people.īetween 64 and 125 enslaved men marched from sugarcane plantations in and near present-day LaPlace on the German Coast toward the city of New Orleans. The slave insurgency was the largest in US history, but the rebels killed only two white men. Charles and Jefferson Parishes, Louisiana. ![]() The uprising occurred on the east bank of the Mississippi River in what is now St. The 1811 German Coast uprising was a revolt of black slaves in parts of the Territory of Orleans on January 8–10, 1811. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Coz wrote some great liner notes for the latter. They have a comp out on Rhino and another from the Jam-On website that's worth checking out. These are the only two original albums that the band put out back in the day, along with the assorted 12 inch singles from each. Coz sells CD-Rs of both albums - plus a CD single of Jam On It (also avoid those 90s mixes, it was a bad rerecording of the original track) on his website listed above. The original CDs of JAM ON REVENGE and SPACE IS THE PLACE were Germany pressed and incredibly rare. Relationships between the band and producer were petty bad in fact there's one track on their first album that contains no one in the band at all. I was tremendously confused when I finally found Newcleus on CD - some really bad 90s comps that had a few key tracks and then some unlistenable stuff. Some comps even mix the output of the two. The kids and producer - and I am a bit unclear on this - went on to use the name, and after 1985 there were several releases using the kids or a completely different lineup. The band included some kids, but most of the 'gimmick' consisted of the band members' voices speeded up. I still have the original vinyl too, but it's shot from trying to scratch on a very cheap turntable. So am I the only one with a deep love for this track? He's an awesome guy, very into talking about equipment he used and such - and also unearthed the demo for the track on his website - something I never thought I would hear! I still have the tape they artificially extended the song for what seemed like FOREVER.Įven cooler, now in the internet age I've been able to trade some emails with Ben (Cozmo D) and have discussed the track a bit with him. And it had staying power - I do remember that come New Years Eve 1984, it was the #1 song of the year on Power 99 FM in Philadelphia. There aren't a whole lot of songs that represent a time for me like this one does. I still remember the day my mother bought me the 12" single - I played it end on end, windows open, breeze coming in - I can still smell the air. And then before you knew it, "Jam On It" was everywhere - at least in Bucks County, where I was growing up. I remember being on the playground when a friend of mine played me a piece of "Jam On Revenge", which he had taped off the radio the night before. (No headspinning allowed) I didn't have those skills, so I was the kid who brought in a cheap tape recorder and 12" singles recorded on cheap tapes - which gained me a bit of cred with the breakers. Dude legitimized the use of synthesizers. from Jam on Revenge (1984 Sunnyview) Yes, we know, Afrika Bambaataa, blah blah blah. ![]() It was the tail end of fifth grade, and when the teachers were feeling generous, they would let us gather outside and play some hip hop while the more agile kids would breakdance.

However, no one could ever accuse him of sacrificing standards of quality due to a lack of quantity.The VH-1 Hip Hop Top 100 thread made me think of this track - my all time favorite hip hop track, and the track that became my soundtrack to the summer of 1984. Tim Westwood was always dropping tracks from the LP for his daily Electro show on the pirate radio station 'LWR' in the mid-eighties at a time when there probably wasn't that many tracks to choose from the to avoid repetition over the course of a week. 'Jam on it' is a certified classic 12" single from an album that is probably the best album of the genre. Most of them were Electro tunes ('High Noon' by Two Sisters for example was another) inspired by the growing influence of the grafitti scene on me. ![]() One of three or four records of the thousands that I have that I ever felt compelled to write my name on. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SanDisk 128GB microSDXC Card, Licensed for Nintendo Switch - SDSQXAO-128G-GNCZN.

![]() ![]() ![]() After right-clicking, go to manage and choose “browse local files”. If you are having trouble finding it, you can right-click the tModLoader directly in your Steam library. You can find it by going through Steam > steamapps > common > tModLoader. Open your tModLoader folder by looking through your installed Steam library folder. Unzip the file “tML 64 (current Terraria version)” and choose a destination for the folder inside. There is a simple way to do this and you will need to make a few installations and a folder to drag inside your installed Terraria folder.ĭownload the 64-bit tModLoader from the forums page and choose the appropriate (latest) version for your current Terraria version. The first step to give Terraria more RAM so you can use all the mods you want in the game is to modify your Terraria file to a 64-bit version. That means If you go anywhere above 4GB, Terraria will run out of memory and crash. ![]() That means the total memory used for the game will be maxed out at 4GB. How to Make Terraria Use More RAMĪs previously mentioned, Terraria is a 32-bit game. It is basically the game’s mod manager to make things easier.Īfter finishing downloading and installing, you still need to do another download which is the 64-bit “mod” that you need to run with tModLoader. You can search for it in the Steam’s store and you will be able to download it for free if you have Terraria on Steam.ĭownload all the mods you want to load and make sure you are using tModLoader. The tModLoader has already been implemented in the additional content side of Terraria. Installing tModLoader 64-bit Through Steam In my personal experience, the only time you would need more RAM allocation for Terraria is when you have installed mods made by the community to add some quality of life features or adding more entertaining content to spice up your world. Even if you have a big base with automated switches for farming while being attacked by the Destroyer with 3 other friends (all happening on the same screen), it should still run fine. With so many things going on at the same time, the game should still run perfectly fine. The game runs in 32-bit which means that the total memory that can be used for the game will be at 4GB. In short, Terraria should not take much of your total memory capacity. Terraria is a 2D sandbox game that is quite similar to the old platformer games in the ’90s. Just by the look of the game and how it is played, it should be easy to run for almost any RAM installed on your computer.

![]() ![]() In fact, TDU2 requires careful control of both accelerator and brake to master its persistent understeer.Ī familiar tale then, and not the improvement most were hoping for. Gran Turismo's staggering physicality was always going to be beyond it, while Criterion's drift symphonies need fictional roads to be written for them.īut the resulting compromise lands the game with steering that's somehow twitchy and heavy at the same time, as well as a lack of conviction and weight that can fool players into thinking they're playing a breezy, full-throttle arcade racer. It's a unique challenge to create a handling model that can cope with both weaving through traffic at 200mph and taking lots of slow right-angle turns. I've never thought TDU's handling deserved quite the evisceration it's received at the hands of press and community. It also still has the bugs (we tested the retail Xbox 360 version), unreliable network performance, inconsistent graphics and physics, unwieldy interface and scrappy, lightweight vehicle handling. So Test Drive Unlimited 2 still has the magic. It's heightened further by the knowledge that every other player online is living the same moment. But watching the sun blush the underside of an overcast sky and reflect in scattered puddles, after driving country roads all night through a crackling thunderstorm, is a thrilling kind of poetry those snapshots can't muster. GT5 or F1 2010 can easily boast graphical superiority. Beautiful dynamic weather effects and a globally synchronised day/night cycle strengthen the intoxicating illusion that you're living a second life as a sportscar-obsessed playboy. ![]() Solo motorists have plenty to lose themselves in too, with off-road racing in hulking SUVs replacing motorbikes and opening up hundreds of acres of untouched terrain. There are more ways to play multiplayer, including co-op challenges, co-driving and a Hot Pursuit-style chase mode. There are deepened community features around the car clubs (now better than some MMOs' guild options) and user-created challenges. There's tons more real estate, with clubber getaway Ibiza appending its Mediterranean hinterlands to the rugged Pacific rock of Oahu (the latter's unlocked a little way into the game). Eden has expanded the things that mean the most to it, inching its game closer to being a true persistent world and a peerless theatre of wish-fulfliment. With this sequel, very little has changed. Rough and ready as it was, that dream wasn't compromised for anything Test Drive Unlimited remains the ultimate love letter to the open road in games. On the vast Hawaiian island of Oahu, Eden dared to dream of an online racing paradise that was set in something very much like the real world (1500 square kilometres of it). ![]() They've done it with more polish and panache, better graphics, more nuanced and rewarding handling, more consistency and, most importantly perhaps, more players.īut they don't have its heart, and they don't have its breathtaking horizons. We've seen other attempts to expand the horizons of the online racing game in the interim: Forza Motorsport's bustling bazaar of customisation and hot-lap competition, Gran Turismo 5's halting attempt at a more genteel autophiles' club, and Criterion socially networking its way around the online/offline divide in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.Įach has delivered parts of Test Drive Unlimited's bold promise: a thriving, connected community of petrolheads an epic physical struggle between man, machine and road a free-roaming kingdom of speed. It's been four and a half years since Lyon's Eden Games unfurled its manifesto for "massively open online racing" with the sprawling, quixotic Test Drive Unlimited and like every year in the young industry of videogames, they've been long ones. ![]() ![]() Rukia is taken to Soul Society, where she is put on death row. Not only is he defeated, but Byakuya strips him of the Shinigami powers Rukia had given him. Ichigo tries to stop the arrest, but his efforts are in vain. Her superiors in Soul Society send two elite Shinigami, Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki, to arrest her. Having already spent too much time in the living world without permission, she has become a wanted criminal. Rukia begins to grow comfortable with life in the living world, but realizes that she needs to leave. Uryū and Ichigo eventually ally to drive off the Hollows.Īs the remainder of the school year passes, Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Orihime, and Uryū become close friends. During this contest, Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Orihime Inoue, two of Ichigo's friends, have their own spiritual abilities awakened when they are assaulted by Hollows. This goes horribly awry, as the bait Uryū uses to start the contest is far more effective than intended, summoning legions of Hollows. In order to prove the Quincy are better than Shinigami, he challenges Ichigo to a Hollow hunting contest. ![]() His powers also attract an enemy of another type: Uryū Ishida, one of the few remaining Quincy, a race of spiritually-empowered humans who were butchered by the Shinigami long ago. Ichigo's spiritual power as a Shinigami is surprisingly large, attracting hungry Hollows and even affecting nearby humans by awakening any spiritual powers they possess. Ichigo must take her place as Karakura Town's Shinigami while she recovers, guiding souls to the afterlife and defending people from attacking Hollows. She tells him that she has lost all of her powers, rather than merely the fraction she intended to give him, and cannot carry out her duties. The next day, Rukia shows up at Ichigo's school as a normal human. When Rukia is injured by a Hollow that attacks Ichigo's home, Ichigo is forced to temporarily take her Shinigami powers to defeat the Hollow. This talent allows him to spot the Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki, whom he inadvertently interferes with during her duties.
