![]() ![]() Primordia starts off with your character (a robot), and your robotic companion, being attacked by another rather seemingly simple-minded robot which takes your power core. And that, unfortunately, has to do with the story. While the graphics are nice, Tormentum failed to draw me in beyond a superficial level of "yep, that's a pretty screen. While I'd like to say that Tormentum's visuals meant that every screen had you gazing in wonder, looking at the detail and just taking a moment to admire the beauty. ![]() Unfortunately, that's about where it ends. It's clear a lot of work went into creating each image. And this level is maintained through-out the entire game, with each screen accosting your eyeballs with its beauty and intricate design. High resolution images of incredible quality show an exceptional level of detail. Tormentum's art meanwhile, is just quite simply stunning. It's reminiscent of the old Lucas Arts style adventure games and if you ever played those as a kid, it'll bring back some nice feelings of nostalgia. ![]() While Primordia's style obviously has a little less resolution, the graphics still convey a look that draws you in, that's interesting and which suits the genre appropriately. If you can't tell by the screenshots, both games are quite simply beautiful. Visually Appealing, point-and-click Gameplay Beyond the obvious one of genre, they both had 2 year development time-frames and were made by tiny 3 men teams intent on creating rich and unique settings. You can already see some similarities between the two games. Along with Greek programmer James Spanos, Victor and Mark spent two years making Primordia, an award-winnning point-and-click adventure game." Wormwood was founded in 2010 by Mark Yohalem, an American writer, and Victor Pflug, an Australian painter. Primordia, the older of the two (having been released over 2 years ago in Dec 2012), was made by a "small, international team committed to developing games with distinctive visuals, complex themes, and rich settings. So watch me pad this fucker out by reviewing not one, but two Adventure games I played within the last couple of weeks: Primordia from Wormwood Studios, and Tormentum - Dark Sorrow from "we got a review copy in our inbox because the game isn't actually out yet and it looked beautiful so I totally took that Steam code and plugged it in before Crooked Bee could get her dirty hands on it", otherwise known as OhNoo! Studio. Which, assuming you don't want to actually reveal it all and ruin the game for those who haven't played it, doesn't leave you with much to cover. Basic game mechanics can be covered in a few paragraphs, leaving only the story. Unfortunately, when it comes to adventure games, there's just not a lot to "discuss!!".

![]() I found inspiration and guidance from two books I had the opportunity to discover and enjoy. I also worked very hard to stay motivated while developing my Reflective Journal, not being english my mother tongue, this was quite a challenge. Debbie did a fantastic job providing additional animations and narrative content, while I put all my efforts on getting the game working on local and WebGL versions. I was eager to be part of a real team again, and working in collaboration with Debbie Norton for the second ideation project was a great experience to confront points of view and share responsibilities. The use of Control Version to track the evolution of each new prototype was also a life saver. It is also clear that I need to keep learning how to use Unity, as in the future I prefer to put all my efforts on the early development phases, having prove to myself that visual scripting is a valid instrument to fast test my ideas. With my roots on traditional programming languages as Pascal or C, this was a huge change of mindset for me. For that I spent at least two extra hours during 8 evenings to understand how to create state machines without any line of code. I started to use new tools to find solutions in order to solve most of the problems I mentioned before.įor both rapid iterations, I forced myself to make fast prototypes with Unity and Playmaker. Equally important: I learnt when to stop and ‘unplug the cable’. I am pleased to recognise that during the two rapid ideation sessions I obtained a better understanding on the use of an Agile philosophy to handle time more efficiently, to identify tasks and keep track of them. ![]() These are the main reasons for which I decided to do this MA, as I need to improve on those key areas and also face some other issues from a professional point of view. Must be a better way to deal with time management.ĭo I have to stay as a solo developer or maybe get a publisher? What can I do to avoid making the same mistakes? īy the end I was happy to have finished, ready to move on… and forget about game making. Dealing with criticism without compromising my mental and emotional health was very difficult. I set the bar way too high, and sank into endless crunching hours.Įven though a lot of people loved my creation, some others found it very disappointing. I was not focused on making fast prototypes to validate my assumptions, assuming that a demo of the same game, would be more than enough to take this big leap of faith. I did not follow a clear path of action, sometimes I just improvised on the go, based on trial and error… I have goals, of course, but not so smart goals. In consequence I went over budget and the development process took way longer than planned. I was the only one responsible to keep things going on, so I had to make many decisions relying on my own judgement. I did well on most of this areas, but I also failed very hard in others. I even designed the merchandise items for the backers. I coded more than 25 levels, supervised and finished thousands of hand made animations, situations, scripts and dialogues not to mention localisation, music or casting voices. To create my first commercial game I did almost everything by myself: I run a Kickstarter campaign, I pitched my idea to a financial committee to get some extra fundings and I had the opportunity to represent the Swiss Game delegation on several international exhibitions. I would like to introduce myself as an independent game developer, but to be honest I’m not quite sure. ![]() The war will also have far-reaching humanitarian implications across Europe and the globe, destabilizing the continent, and straining the resources of Ukraine’s neighbors. ![]() The IRC's experience shows that when people are trapped and health and sanitation facilities are targeted, diseases like cholera spread and preventable deaths skyrocket. Tens of throusands of women will give birth in the coming months in Ukraine-many of them without access to critical maternal health care if the crisis continues to shut down essential services. Hospitals and ambulances have been attacked. The Ukrainian health system was already fragile, having been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The war has weakened Ukraine's infrastructure and sent the country's economy into drastic decline. The majority of those on the move are women and children, who are always most at risk of exploitation and abuse during crises. ![]() Millions of people in Ukraine have been uprooted from their homes, among them over 5.5 million who have fled to neighbouring countries. And roads and bridges made impassible by bombs and shelling are hindering access to food and other basic necessities. Freezing temperatures are making conditions for those seeking shelter in basements and subway stations even more unbearable. The world is bearing witness to the deaths of innocent civilians, the destruction of vital infrastructure, and massive displacement within Ukraine and beyond.Īs the attacks continue, people who remain in Ukraine are enduring the dangers of life under siege, even as they try to cope without adequate water, heat and electricity. The Russia-Ukraine conflict may result in humanitarian suffering on a scale beyond what Europe has seen this century. Learn more about what's happening in Ukraine. Eight years of fighting have resulted in the deaths of over 3,000 people, forced more than 850,000 people from their homes, and left almost 3 million in need of aid. In 2014, Russia invaded and then annexed the Crimean Peninsula and began backing pro-Russian separatists in parts of eastern Ukraine. This escalation in tensions comes on top of an existing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Russia regards these efforts as an economic and strategic threat to its own security. Ukraine, which became an independent country in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been working to forge closer ties with the European Union and with NATO. Some 6.5 million people have now been displaced inside Ukraine, while almost 3.5 million have fled to neighbouring countries to seek safety. Bombs and shelling continue to escalate, damaging homes, hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure. On February 24, 2022, Russia deployed its military into neighbouring Ukraine. ![]() It was complicated to analyze some tests. So, reports weren’t aggregated in one place. ![]() Allure reports are great, but for technical reasons we have many TeamCity builds where Selenium tests could be run. Each TeamCity build had an Allure report attached to it. When the tests are automated and ready, we can run them in CI (at Wrike we use TeamCity). Choose Exchange (or Office 365) from the Server Type pop-up menu, enter your Exchange email address and password, and click OK. Click the + (plus) icon to add a new account. Wrike also has extensive functionalities that Trello doesnt have. To Dos in Bus圜al are compatible and sync with the Reminders app on OS X and. In fact in most cases we just updated automated tests and got by with irrelevant documentation. To sync Bus圜al with Exchange, do the following: Choose Bus圜al > Preferences > Accounts. Compare Trello VS Bus圜al and find out whats different, what people are saying. When comparing Bus圜al vs Wrike, the Slant community recommends Bus圜al for. When production logic changes, both the autotest and test case should be updated, which again, was extremely time-consuming. In addition to integrating with your Todoist account, it's packed with time-saving features and compatible with all leading cloud services, including Reminders, iCloud, Google, Exchange, Office 365, Yahoo, Fastmail, Kerio, Synology, Nextcloud, ownCloud and more. Then those short checklists became a set of detailed test cases in a TMS, spreadsheet, or another Wrike task.Īfter that detailed test cases needed to be automated. Bus圜al is the reliable calendar app you've been looking for. For each test, a QA engineer wrote a simple short checklist in a Wrike task, because we use Wrike as a task tracker. Back then we had a bit under 10,000, but it’s still a lot.Īlso, before we used Allure, existing test documentation was poorly structured. It was difficult for us to set aside enough time for it, especially now that we have about 30,000 Selenium tests. Why did we decide to use Allure TestOps? First, writing and supporting detailed test documentation takes a lot of resources. What problems we wanted to solve with Allure TestOps At Wrike we also have a deep integration with Allure Server (Allure EE, but now it’s mostly known as Allure TestOps). Most Allure users probably work with Allure Report. ![]() If I then edit the joined midi in Aria, PT then can't recognise the midi file.
