The Gregorian New Year has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the celebrations are over. The Luna New Year has just gone by, an important time of the year for China. It’s the worlds largest exodus of people, and a time to think about the year ahead.
The Battle of the Cloakwood
The Troupe have descended to the lowest level of the Cloakwood Mines and find themselves face-to-face with Davaeorn’s entourage. Their assault doesn’t go well, and they are forced to retreat for a short while. But now reinforcements are arriving through the upper levels and there is no escape.
A Hike Half Way Up Lang Biang
I always enjoy hiking when I can, and so I looked for a good place to do so while I was on the Dalat Peninsula. To the north of Dalat is a small town sitting beneath a mountain, both bearing the name Lang Biang.
Minion Masters Monetisation
Minion Masters is a “free” game on Steam that is free in all the ways you would expect it to be free. It creates a unique experience by combining card-collecting with tower defense gameplay, but it fails to provide an interesting enough experience to justify its pay-to-win mechanics.
Banging Butterflies Update
It’s not every week I’m able to get a lot of work done on the mod. This week, as well as implementing new features, I’ve been tackling a strange bug with the Peacemaker Butterfly’s movement.
Ye Olde Baldur’s Gate Manual
There’s an experience I used to have as a kid that you don’t get in the modern age. Video games would come in a box with a cartridge or a disc inside, alongside a game manual.
Davaeorn, Master of the Mine
The Troupe have made it deep into the Iron Throne’s mine in the Cloakwood Forest. They are close to Davaeorn, the leader of the mine. Yet Aegon’s visions of death linger, and there is uncertainty if they can survive the final encounter with Davaeorn and succeed in flooding the mine.
The Secret Garden of Dalat
South of Dalat there is a place hidden within the woods. It is a garden filled with wooden walkways, benches and sculptures representing the local flora and fauna. Stepping through the gate feels like stepping into a Wonderland, though there is no white rabbit to follow here.
The Slow Death of a Queendom
I kept playing Kingdom: Classic this week in an attempt to see if I could complete the game. I didn’t get that far, but a run I had showed me how to play it better.
Catching Peacemaker Butterflies
I’m just getting back into the swing of things after Kiwiburn, so I haven’t had much time to spend on developing Bok’s Banging Butterflies. I fixed a few bugs last week, and this week I’ve implemented a small feature to complete the Peacemaker Butterflies.
