‘If you’re designing an RPG, you have to go back to the source:’ The post-apocalyptic RPG Entropy takes notes from Fallout and a long-abandoned Warhammer spinoff

Entropy is an early access RPG developed by the creators of Dread Delusion, marking a shift towards a JRPG style reminiscent of Final Fantasy 10 and Lost Odyssey, while also incorporating elements from PC gaming traditions. The game features a larger party size for tactical battles, permadeath mechanics, and locational damage. Lead developer James Wragg emphasizes the influence of tabletop gaming on the design, allowing for extensive character customization and creative freedom due to its low-fi graphics. Entropy is currently available in early access on Steam, along with a free demo for players.

The best Android alarm app isn’t on the Play Store. Here’s how to install it

Many users prefer default applications for calendars, messaging, and clocks, but third-party options like Chrono offer enhanced experiences. Chrono is an open-source clock application that provides a user-friendly interface, extensive alarm features, and an ad-free experience, but it is not available on the Google Play Store. The app features four tabs: Alarm, World Clock, Timer, and Stopwatch, with customization options including dark mode and Material design. Users can personalize the app's appearance and tag alarms for organization. Chrono's alarm functionality includes assertive alarms that require tasks to be completed before turning off, adjustable snooze intervals, and the ability to lock alarms. To download Chrono, users must visit the F-Droid website, download the app, and follow installation instructions. Updating Chrono through F-Droid is straightforward, while sideloaded users must check for updates manually or use a tool like Obtainium.

Pterodactyl Multi-Game Cloud Server: 13 Steps [2026]

In 2026, hosting game servers has become more efficient, allowing multiple game servers to run on a single cloud VPS using Pterodactyl Panel, which utilizes Docker containers for isolation. Pterodactyl is a free, open-source game server management panel that gained popularity due to its user-friendly interface and robust architecture. The latest stable release, v1.12.0, was launched in January 2026, with newer deployment templates available as of August 2026. To set up Pterodactyl, prerequisites include a cloud VPS with specific CPU and RAM requirements, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, PHP 8.3, MariaDB 11.8.8 or newer, Redis 8.10.0 or newer, Docker Engine, a registered domain for SSL, SteamCMD dependencies, and at least 80 GB SSD storage. The installation process involves provisioning the VPS, installing necessary software, configuring Pterodactyl, setting up Nginx with SSL, and deploying game servers. Common pitfalls include under-provisioning RAM for resource-intensive games, neglecting firewall settings, and allowing backup retention to grow uncontrollably. Troubleshooting may involve addressing PHP-FPM issues, connection problems, and ensuring proper resource allocation. Advanced scaling may require multiple VPS nodes, and security measures like two-factor authentication can help protect the server. Pterodactyl is free to use commercially and can run multiple game containers on a single node.
