The same can be said of the game’s generic-sounding audio.A re-envisioning of the original AdventureQuest game in 3D. To be fair, the game is a mere 54 MB download, and there’s only so much you can do with a game of that size. While the trademark AdventureQuest arts does have its charms, more so for fans of the series, the game lacks the graphical fidelity players expect from a 2016 MMORPG. Unfortunately, this means that the game has less than stellar graphics for a PC title. AQ3D runs on the Unity Engine and features cartoony visuals in the same style as the first two AdventureQuest games, but now in 3D.īeing a cross-platform game, Artix had to take into account the graphical and storage limitations of mobile devices (the mobile-friendly interface should be evidence enough). The game is set in the medieval fantasy world of Lore where players take on the role of heroes tasked with defending Battleon, the last bastion of humanity, from a powerful evil entity.

![]() Paul has his holographic educational explainers that serve as exposition in the movie. Lynch's version kicks off with a seemingly never-ending expository monologue from Princess Irulan, Paul's wife-to-be who could be played by Florence Pugh in Part 2. After David Lynch's much-maligned original 1984 Dune movie and Alejandro Jodorowsky's abandoned attempt, it was important to learn the lessons around adapting a complex literary work.Īside from the visual leaps Villeneuve made, lending Arrakis an overawing and oppressive sense of scale, pulling back the complexity of the story was another important creative choice. The Guild would have taken an already complex space opera and added an extra layer of convolution, and it was so important for Herbert's legacy that Villeneuve did what he could to avoid overcooking the narrative. The simple truth is that some characters and stories read better than they scan onscreen. It seems strange, then, that such a narrative lynchpin of the books would fall by the wayside for the first Dune movie.

It's spice's role in intergalactic travel that makes it such a sought-after commodity and kicks off the transfer of power from House Harkonnen to House Atreides that underpins the first novel and movie. It singlehandedly controls faster-than-light space travel across the universe using spice – the cinnamon-flavored hallucinogen that hails from Arrakis.

With Madfinger’s ambition to make the new game an eSports favorite, dedicated servers were a must, as they can prevent one player from gaining an unfair advantage over an opponent. The only thing we can’t promise is that you’ll win!” Thankfully, with Multiplay’s multi-cloud, scalable solution we’re able to give our players a consistent experience, regardless of device or location. “Our ambition with War Games is to deliver a fun yet highly competitive experience, so lag, cheating, and long queues are unacceptable. They needed dedicated servers to guarantee a smooth, lag-free experience.įor Vladimir Zadrazil (“Zadr”), Madfinger’s lead programmer, it was a simple choice. With an eye to the future, Madfinger decided early that for a competitive first-person shooter (FPS) like Shadowgun War Games, peer-to-peer (P2P) wasn’t going to cut it. Each of these options has technical and financial advantages as well as drawbacks. ![]() How and where a studio hosts its new game is a perennial question, with options available right across the spectrum, from 100% bare metal servers to fully in the cloud. With Unity, it’s really easy – it’s just a switch in the settings and the runtime version is output for the target platform.” We can build an entire game on one code base and not have to worry about which mobile device it’s going to run on. “For me, Unity’s multiplatform capabilities simplify things quite a bit. Ondrus mentions one other popular Unity feature. To do that we use Unity tools, including the Profiler, which helps us look for unnecessary allocations and render calls, and to optimize our code in general.” They also tap the Frame Debugger and Occlusion Culling to ensure the builds are tight and the game lands just right on whatever device you’re playing on. It’s a small feature but it really speeds up their workflow.Īnother feature they like a lot is baked lighting mode, which provides two important benefits according to Ondrus, “It lets us create great atmosphere in our games without any cost to performance.”Įver mindful of how high-fidelity graphics run on player devices, Ondrus says, “We’re hyper-aware of the battery cost on mobile, so consequently we heavily optimize performance. His animators build their work in Autodesk’s MotionBuilder, and once they import their clips they can select and manipulate several keys at once to, for example, scale curves horizontally (to change the time placement) or vertically (to change the value). Ondrus also likes Unity’s Animation editor, especially the updated version of Key manipulation in Curves mode. This is handy because we can do all our work in Unity and don’t have to use another third-party software tool.” We also like to use it for grey-boxing all the levels. We use it to build our scenes quickly and iterate on them across teams. “We like ProBuilder a lot – it’s a powerful tool for prototyping new levels and assets within Unity. So, once a new title gets greenlit, how does Madfinger begin fleshing out its latest game ideas? It was the perfect combination of skills on both sides and the right timing that brought us together, which has built a very long relationship that allows us to focus on what we do best: making great games.” Luciano Alibrandi, Madfinger’s COO and acting CMO, concurs, “Ten years ago we found each other at the right moment – when Unity was growing up and Madfinger was growing up. But nowadays, Unity is fully featured, with something like 1,000-plus engineers behind it, which lets us focus on game development, not time-consuming engine-building and maintenance.” “Two decades ago when I started building games, there weren’t many third-party engines, so my friends and I had to build and maintain our own. “We simply can’t afford to have 10 people working on an engine and another 10 working on other internal tools – we need to devote all our energies to game design and making stunning visuals, which is our forté,” says Miroslav Ondrus, Madfinger’s CTO. And that attitude guides their tech decisions. As a close-knit studio with a competitive attitude, Madfinger values its lean-and-mean size in order to go against giant competitors – bosses even – in the mobile realm. This is based on the movie Kiss The Girls where Morgan Freeman's character does just that.
