![]() Suddenly there were ideas to compete with his own plans for where Kerbal should go. Felipe FalangheĮxpanding the Kerbal team was stressful for Falanghe, who had no experience leading a project. Five years later, he would leave Squad because its success made it clear he would have little chance of getting a second game off the ground. There wasn't much of a way to keep track of builds or bugs people would report, so I'd just make another version and people would complain to various degrees of volume and I'd try to piece together what was wrong with it… it was a very rough process, in the early days."įalanghe had once assumed Kerbal Space Program (and his job) were doomed to survive only a few months. ![]() I remember the first builds I'd pack manually into a zip file and upload via FTP manually and just hope it was better than the previous one. "Everything those workflows and methodologies exist to prevent happened to us, and that's how we learned why they're there and useful. "We didn't know things like QA and test and deployment pipelines that we would eventually learn later on out of the harshest experiences possible," Falanghe says. That team of inexperienced developers soon went through some intense growing pains. But the paid version was a hit, and Squad started putting more resources behind the game, hiring members of the community to start working on it. It was a surreal time because he mostly worked from home, Falanghe didn't have a strong sense of how Kerbal was viewed within Squad-he was more in tune with the game's community. Interest kept growing and Falanghe kept adding to the game, releasing the first paid version in March 2012. It was free, and their projection for a successful first month, solely based on word of mouth, was a humble 900 downloads. "It's still is the gold standard of spaceflight simulation out there," he says.Īfter about seven months of work, the first version of KSP was released on June 24, 2011. This was in 2011, two years before Steam introduced Early Access, but Minecraft had proven it could work.Ī major source of inspiration for Falanghe was Orbiter, a free, deep space simulation that he had played for years. Assuming he was working on borrowed time, Falanghe thought it made sense to release Kerbal as quickly as possible, then update it as long as there was interest in the game. He was essentially a solo developer, with one other Squad employee acting as a producer for Kerbal Space Program. But I fully expected that the project was going to be terminated very quickly." "I thought, if I'm lucky I'm going to get maybe six months to work on this they pull the plug and I need to start looking for something else. The first pitch for Kerbal Space Program was humble: you'd just build a rocket and see how high it could get before crashing back to the ground, then do it again. "So that's how it went." He's still baffled by that decision, but assumes that Squad's leaders were also tired of the grueling advertising business and thought it was worth trying something new. If you stay with us, we'll let you make your game,' Falanghe remembers. So he walked in one day determined to quit. He didn't like advertising, and the nonstop pace of the work was grinding him down. After taking a job at Squad straight out of college, essentially desperate for whatever he could get, Falanghe quickly found the work depressing. If you ever thought that it was strange that a marketing company with no videogames under its belt created one of the most important PC games of the decade, well, you're not alone-Falanghe thought it was strange, too, and he was the one who worked there.

You'll notice most of those things listed above aren't "oh well just ask them", it is a moderator intentionally doing something that negatively impacts the game and has absolutely no benefit whatsoever. ![]() Just why?Īll in all whilst f95zone was a good, supportive place in the past and I'm fully aware they share pirate links of early access content, that's not even on the list of complaints as I know it is a pirate site, since the turn of the year into 2022 it is now a dumpster fire with some (not all) reddit level "aktually" moderators on enormous power trips determined to try and help float or sink games depending on whether or not they like the Dev. They've deleted comments telling people who wanted to get the release earlier than June 18th they could get it cheaper directly from me than from Patreon. They've removed my message about saves from prior to v.0.9.1 not working, which has since got me bug reports, thanks! I look forward to hearing the well thought out and intelligent reasoning behind that. My own Mega links for the version were not password protected, and have been up 100% of the time since I uploaded them, and I don't remove public links until there is a new public version. Despite me creating the game and supplying them with a fully functioning link and the only work required was for them to click "edit, paste", apparently they deserve the referrals instead. They've reuploaded my personally supplied Mega.nz links for the public version when it updated with their own, meaning anybody that signs up or purchases a plan to download a 4gb file (earns me about £200 a year from my own links) they get the referral cash for. Believe it or not, some people don't realise Devs that are active here do not support sharing their early access releases, and that banner helps and I had it there for years, but they've deleted it. They've removed my "We do not condone sharing Patreon links but choose to engage" blah banner. They've removed or never added my SubscribeStar link, which I can't add and I've had people ask if the game is available anywhere other than Patreon. Just some things about f95zone, and the Moderators/Staff in this site in particular for those of you wondering why my relationship with them has gone from "co-operative" to "Hostile - DMCA Everything", f95zone have in the last couple of months:ĭeleted long, in-depth, well-explained and multi-paragraph positive reviews with absolutely nothing wrong them for no good reason and that had been there for months, just trying to tank the star rating and limit the games exposure because individual moderators dislike me. Neither is permanent, though, and both should subside fairly quickly once you take the headset off. Wearing a headset for an hour or more does put some strain on your eyes and it can cause headaches if you’re not properly hydrated or motion sickness if the content you’re watching moves in a way that feels unnatural to your body. That said, eye fatigue is probably the most ‘dangerous’ part of VR. Putting the headset on for a few minutes at a time then taking it off, just to get your eyes used to having a screen that close. In fact, even for adults just getting into the medium, we recommend slowly getting acclimated. Whether it’s safe for kids ages 13 and under remains a subject of debate, but most companies recommend limited use for the age group with plenty of breaks. ![]() The general consensus is that yes, it’s totally safe to use, especially for adults whose eyes have already stopped developing and who don't really get motion sick. (Image credit: oculus) Is VR healthy? Can you get hurt while using it? The quality of this content varies wildly – just like every YouTube video isn’t an Oscar-award winning production – but the central idea behind it all is that it’s more immersive than 2D. VR works best when the content is produced for virtual reality and is viewed on a virtual reality headset… even a cheap one like the Google Cardboard. Now, obviously, not every video or videogame ever made is available in VR – at least not natively. It’s the first step towards the holodeck that you saw on Star Trek 40 years ago. Instead of looking at a shark on Discovery Channel, there are apps that put you in a shark cage and allow you to experience what it’d be like to see the animals swimming around you. ![]() Why people like it so much is because the content feels more immersive. VR is similar in that it sometimes uses tricks to add realism to content, but it doesn’t stop where the screen stops – it fills your entire field of view with an image or environment. When most folks think about VR, their first thoughts are of 3D – the display technology that used stereoscopy to give the illusion that images were popping out of the screen.

Talbadar’s Stratagem damage increase reduced by 8%.Shadowflame Prism damage reduced by 15% (doesn’t affect insanity generation and Mindbender increase).Shadow Word: Pain damage increased by 25%.Devouring Plague initial damage was reduced by 18%.There also is a list of changes, added to the Shadow Priest in the Shadowlands 9.1. So it’s very important to use Voidform wisely. Among the things, you should keep in mind is that your Voidform is now a 1.5 minutes cooldown ability which will greatly improve your damage output for a brief period of time, with peaks and downs of your DPS clearly visible with any DPS-meter you using. Game balance in WoW is a subject of constant change. Regarding PVP, you can totally dominate battlegrounds thanks to high damage, survivability, and flexibility provided by Legendary powers and talents. Though large pulls can be difficult for Shadow Priests, excellent burst damage against one or two targets allows it to easily complete world or daily quests, and even some low-level PVE encounter solo without much trouble. ![]() Depending on equipment, talents, and socket choices it can have good additional damage against most of the enemies in the game. Shadow Priest is considered by many to be among the best solo playing damage dealers in the game. May be tough to master even for experienced players.
![]() in the top right corner there are vertical/horizontal clearance problems between the branch line and main oval. Take a ruler and measure across the curves, and you will find some of them are less than 36" diameter. If you use 18" radius curves, you will need more than 4ft width. it can't be built as drawn in the space shown. The Lilliput Logger is a nice plan I have studied it on many occasions for ideas. Personally I will probably go for a solution with less tracks. However, if you emphasize realistic scenery it might be a bit disturbing to have tracks running back and fourth and crossing above and under all over the place. I think this briliant track plan allowing point-to-point as well as looping operations evidence that it is actually possible to do a logging layout within the limits of 4x8 feet. Here are some links relating to the "Lilliput Logger":Īlso the original Lilliput Logger track plan is available for MR subscribers in their free download library of track plans. This track plan actually was the inspiration for the 4x8 layout that i'm building now thats going to be incorporated into a larger layout in the future. Its got a full mainlne AND a full branch line, and is designed to be incorporated into a larger layout. Its a genius of a 4x8 layout, with the most operational potential and scenic interest of any 4x8 that i've ever seen. In it, they have an article about a 4x8 HO logging railroad called the Lilliput Logger. Loggers would probably EAT any range cows that wandered into camp.Ĭhuck (modeling the Cedar Forest of Central Japan in September, 1964)ĭude, you NEED to get or find a copy of the August 1998 Model Railroader. Most of the 'cattle' in the old logging camps were oxen - the teams that helped drag logs to reloads in the woods. Reason? Sawmills were built with heavy machinery - not the kind of thing you want to carry on a lightly-built, rough rail line that, in later years, was hard-pressed to carry large, rubber-tired log trucks.Īlso, cattle and logging are rather poor neighbors. Logs cut near the southwestern border of Yosemite National Park took a fifty-plus mile ride in a water-filled flume to the mill at Merced - the closest place with a Class 1 connection. I have a rough draft of a track plan and maybe I will scan it and post it here at a later stage.īefore you charge merrily into looking at how other modelers (many of whom never saw a live Shay in action) modeled a 1900 (give or take) woods show, do some research on what the prototype did!įirst thing that jumped out and bit me was, "Small sawmill in the woods." In my experience, the sawmill was at the place where the logs coming down the timber road met the common carrier rails - Cass in WV, Standard and Tuolumne in CA, even Agematsu, Nagano-ken, Japan. I know that this forum collectively constitutes an extreme amount of knowledge and fantasy so feel free to contribute with your point of view! Also any additional ideas or thoughts are welcomed. If anybody wants to contribute with track plan ideas for the layout, the sawmill area or the station it is very much appreciated. From the loop it will have a turnout or a wye for the siding going up to the sawmill. I will try to build interesting scenery consisting of a main line looping around the 4x8 layout, crossing bridges and tunnels, with sidings at the station for water and coal/wood as well as sidings for timber and livestock and of course the few passengers that for some reason will be travelling to this isolated town. Hence, a stock pen and storage areas for receiving trains from the small saw mill up in the hills will be necessary at the station. The basis supporting the existence of the small town is a lumber operation in the hills surrounding the town and a shipping point of livestock. The town will have much of the appearance and features of the early mining towns of the Rockies. The idea is to centre it around the needs of an isolated small town in a valley surrounded by mountains and forest. I have done extensive travelling in the US and got very inspired by the landscapes as well as having great interest in US history relating to the opening of the west and the era of the pioneers (after all many of my ancestors settled in the US in the early 1900 and I am very fortunate to still have good connections with my relatives in this fantastic country.). I am a Norwegian working on a HO layout where I am trying to depict the early era of logging (1890/1900) in the US. |
