In my downtime between exploring the temples and markets of Xi’an, I’ve been continuing my way through Haiku, the Robot. The game’s influences are becoming more obvious as I near the end, but it doesn’t change how fun it is to play.
Video Games
I do this for a living and for fun.
Minecraft Mods About Cats
I’m still in China and unable to continue work on my mod, so I’m going to talk about some mods I like involving cats instead. These are two very simple mods that don’t change too much. They’ll fit right in to any vanilla-style modpack.
The Return of Aegon Ratslayer
After meeting a wizard called Pelltar and agreeing to help him, Rose and the Troupe were teleported to the town of Restenford, on a remote isle to the south east of the Sword Coast.
Exploring Haiku, the Robot
I tried to get into Hacknet, but it wasn’t working for me. I don’t think it’s a problem with the game, it’s just that a game that simulates hacking into servers felt a little bit too much work for me.
Villager Names and Death Messages
It turns out that behind the Great Firewall modding is difficult. Gradle is unable to download dependencies since a lot of them are blocked by China. VPNs can help circumvent this, but they aren’t very reliable at the moment.
Helping Pelltar the Wizard
After infiltrating the Bandit Camp, the troupe was ready to fight the leaders were it not for Aegon’s visions. They decided to retreat for the time being, hoping to catch Tazok when they return. On their way back Drake was killed during an ambush of ogre bandits.
Travelling. Gaming. Drinking.
I haven’t had much chance to play new games recently. I recently got made redundant, and as a result I’ve decided to spend some time travelling the world. The adventure finally starts this week, but I don’t want to forget about gaming and game development.
Tragedy of the Drunken Priest
Aegon and company successfully infiltrated the bandit camp. They have been given the responsibility of standing guard over Tazok’s tent. It’s almost time to take out the bandit leaders for good, but things aren’t going to be so easy, if they’re even possible at all.
Galak-Z: Confusing Design
Sometimes it’s possible to implement everything perfectly, yet still end up with a product that doesn’t quite work. Galak-Z is a game that seems to be trying something new. And, while all the individual components that make up the game work, they don’t quite fit together.
Infiltrating the Bandit Camp
Drake and Aegon have managed to convince the bandits that they wish to join them. They have been given full run of the Bandit Camp, where many of the leaders are present.
