Masters of Albion does what Peter Molyneux promised, “it brings joy”

Peter Molyneux, the creator of Masters of Albion and founder of 22cans, aims to bring "joy" through his latest project. The game combines elements of god games, strategy, and fantasy RPGs, where players revitalize an old English town using divine magic while defending against undead threats at night. Daytime gameplay involves exploration and quests in a third-person perspective, reminiscent of Dungeon Keeper. Combat mechanics can be inconsistent, and building systems may lead to gaps in defenses. The town management system allows players to assist villagers and create recipes for critics, encouraging creativity. The game features humor and clever puzzles, creating a lighthearted atmosphere similar to the Fable series. Masters of Albion is currently in early access on Steam for .99, with a launch week discount bringing the price down to .49.

Windrose Discoveries: Every item you’re missing from the Coastal Jungle, Foothills, and Cursed Swamps

Players in Windrose engage in a crafting adventure across three distinct regions: the Coastal Jungle, Foothills, and Cursed Swamps. The Coastal Jungle is the starting zone, requiring players to complete main quests like "I Need a Bigger Boat" and "Rescuing the Crew" to unlock the Foothills after defeating Thomas Richards. In the Foothills, players face challenges from hostile pirates and wildlife, necessitating upgrades to their ships and crafting tools like the Iron Pickaxe and Axe. Some items, such as Corn, may require exploration across multiple islands. The Cursed Swamps, the final region in the early access version, presents survival challenges, with caution needed in areas with glowing pink foliage. Beans can be found in 'Ruin with a Flowerbed' landmarks, along with other valuable resources. A Windrose Discovery list categorizes discoveries by region and notes boss encounters or quest requirements for progression.

We owe Fallout to an admiral and his officers teaching its designer to play D&D in 1979

Tim Cain, a veteran RPG designer known for the Fallout series, shared his first experience with Dungeons & Dragons during the Carter administration, guided by his mother’s colleagues in the U.S. Navy. He contrasted this experience with modern gaming, noting that players starting on computers lack the direct interaction that comes with a Dungeon Master. Cain was captivated by the novelty of polyhedral dice and expressed excitement about the game. His mother supported his interest by suggesting a stop at a game store, leading him to acquire the AD&D Monster Manual and a boxed set. This engagement with D&D significantly influenced his career, particularly his expertise in the 2E AD&D's THAC0 system, which helped him secure a position at Interplay and lead the development of The Temple of Elemental Evil. His introduction to tabletop roleplaying was facilitated by a DM known as “Captain Dave,” whose influence extended to Cain's later work in game development.

How to get clay in Windrose

Clay is a crucial resource in Windrose for crafting clay bottles for potions. It can be found in large deposits of muddy rock scattered across the terrain, which are exposed and easy to identify. Clearing a single deposit yields about 50-60 chunks of clay. A pickaxe is necessary for harvesting clay, with recipes for a Stone Pickaxe requiring 3 Stone and 3 Wood, and a Copper Pickaxe requiring 1 Bronze Ingot and 5 Wood. Upgrading tools does not affect yield but can speed up the harvesting process. Clay deposits respawn every few in-game days, and crafting a clay bottle requires one chunk of clay, but the bottles are not reusable. Resources can deplete quickly, especially when dealing with wild boars.

This developer squeezed a full Minecraft server onto an ESP32, and it actually works

A developer named angelthebox has created a Minecraft server called Macerun that runs on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, using Minecraft version 1.16.5 rewritten in C. Key features include the ability for players to join the server, explore the world, place and break blocks, procedural world chunk generation, basic crafting mechanics with 2x2 recipes, in-game chat, and tracking of basic physics, health, and hunger. Changes to blocks are saved to the chip's flash memory. However, the server lacks mobs, 3x3 crafting recipes, and the ability to retain player inventories and positions after exiting. The source code is available on the Macerun GitHub page.

Pokemon Pokopia Players Use Minecraft Trick to Farm Pokemetal

Grinding for Pokemetal and Rare Pokemetal in Pokemon Pokopia was previously a tedious task, with players spending entire days for minimal returns. A new farming method shared by content creator Austin John Plays allows players to gather 1,200 units in just 90 minutes. Pokemetal is essential for late-game recipes, 3D printer projects, and Cloud Island constructions, but traditional gathering methods yielded low amounts. The Dragonite doll Dream Island is identified as the richest source of Pokemetal, with optimal mining occurring six blocks underground. Players can access this layer by starting from the beach near spawn, digging down, and using the Rollout ability to navigate through the ore-rich area. The community has reacted positively, with players expressing regret over previous inefficient methods. The Pokopia player base has demonstrated a strong understanding of game mechanics, leveraging knowledge from sandbox games like Minecraft to optimize gameplay without requiring developer intervention.

6 ways I’m already using Android 17’s app bubbles to multitask better

Google has released Android 17 Beta 3, featuring app bubbles, which enhance multitasking by allowing users to keep applications floating on their screens for quick access. Users can create app bubbles by long-pressing any app icon and selecting the "bubble" option, which opens the app in a small floating window that can be minimized into a bubble. Multiple bubbles can be stacked, and tapping a stack expands it for easy management. Users can remove bubbles by dragging them to an "X" button, and on foldable devices, bubbles can be arranged in a taskbar-style layout. The app bubbles feature allows for various multitasking scenarios, such as responding to messages without switching apps, keeping notes open while shopping, watching videos while taking notes, checking maps during chats, planning trips without app switching, and copying information easily between applications.
