![]() ![]() The voice from a boss called the Mad Donkey, instead, is robotic and feels out of place when Pinocchio comes face-to-face with it on a bridge. In a video posted to Twitter by the account THE RED DRAGON, some in-game dialogue has been revealed, complete with subtitles at the bottom of the screen, but the voices are not the high-quality ones from the Gamescom cinematic trailer. RELATED: Soulslike Lies of P Shows 12 Minutes of Gameplay at Gamescom With a higher focus on story, there are bound to be more cutscenes and character interactions than some other Soulslikes, and that is evident even in this new video, despite the hilarious placeholder voice acting. The players will be guiding Pinocchio in a gothic city called Krat in the search for Geppetto. While the setting and dark atmosphere do seem to be quite similar to Bloodborne, it seems like developers Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio are placing a higher focus on narrative and characters than some other Soulslike games. Lies of P features a lot of similar mechanics to the Souls series, especially Bloodborne, but according to the developers, those similarities were unintentional. This new video, though, shows that the game's final voice acting, at least in certain parts, has not been put into the game yet, and it is hilarious to see in this Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike. With new gameplay, demos, screenshots, and trailers revealed during Gamescom this summer, the game seems to be quite far into development, with a tentative release date in 2023. A new video has surfaced that shows hilarious placeholder voice acting for the upcoming Soulslike, Lies of P. ![]()

Your main cast is less than virtuous: Caim is a mute bloodthirsty nutcase, Inuart goes completely nuts and evil, Furiae isn't entirely innocent, and the list just goes on and on. One of the most striking things about the game is how so many Video Game Tropes are turned completely on their head. Drakengard does not shy away from the surreal, the macabre, and the downright depressing. Watching how the characters react to this and observing their hopeless and doomed plight is strangely interesting morbid curiosity drives one to finish the game's five endings. By its end, Drakengard has gone beyond the standard unspoken agreement between author and audience and thrown us into the stuff of nightmares. The game gets progressively weirder and more surreal as events go on, and the interactions between characters gradually become more nuanced and complex from the straight-up swords and sorcery formula. As Caim journeys on, he learns about the Cult of the Watchers which has taken hold over the Empire and their evil machinations for the Goddess. Each seal that is destroyed makes the burden on the Goddess that much more unbearable. The game starts off simply enough, with Caim and any party members he's managed to find running from one location to the next, trying to prevent the Empire from destroying one of the three land-based seals. As a consequence, Verdelet can hear the telepathy that goes between pact-partners, but he gave up his hair. He would normally have gained the allegiance of the dragon as Caim has from his pact, but he can't call upon his pact-partner. Verdelet the hierarch also made a pact with a dragon, but that was long before the events of the game and the dragon has since been petrified.Seere gave up his "time", meaning that he will never age beyond his six year old body. Golem provides the ultimate protection for the boy's life and can destroy The Legions of Hell with ease. Seere the young boy has a pact with Golem, a stone giant.She is quite insane she's developed a certain fondness for the other, other white meat as a consequence. She can control water and fire to a certain degree (she can be seen walking on water in one cutscene, or being undamaged by a house burning down in another) and can summon the spirits to her aid. Arioch the elf mother has a pact with Undine and Salamander, the water and fire spirits, respectively.He is a pedophile in the original Japanese version international releases mostly edited this part of his character out. With it, he has access to the fairy's powerful magic. Leonard the forester has a pact with a fairy.All of the other members of Caim's party have a pact, and a certain price they have paid for it: However, if either of the pact partners dies, so will the other, and it seems the pain one feels is transferred to the other as well. In forging the pact, Caim can control the dragon during flight and has access to the dragon's vast strength, but gives up his voice in exchange (although he's still capable of conversing with the dragon through telepathy). He proposes that in order to save them both, the two should form a pact. Caim is mortally wounded in the first stage as he runs towards Furiae's castle in the midst of a battle, and discovers a chained and wounded dragon in the courtyard. One of the major concepts in Drakengard is that of a pact, or of two beings of different races binding their souls into one. Caim is joined initially on his quest by Inuart, his best friend and Furiae's betrothed before she became the Goddess, and four other characters, the circumstances of each being varied and always tragic. Also known as "the Goddess", Furiae is part of four seals that protect the world from an unknown danger-she is a living seal, and her death would herald chaos in the world. It takes place in a Heroic/ Low Fantasy medieval setting, and it follows Anti-Hero Caim on a mission to destroy an evil empire (aptly named "the Empire") while also protecting his sister Furiae. The gameplay switches between Hack and Slash and Flight Sim, so one could think of it as a mixture of Dynasty Warriors and a sandbox version of Panzer Dragoon. It's notable for its combination of a multilayered, surreal plot and excellent atmosphere, with rather weak, repetitive gameplay. The dragon plummets from the tower of red thunder, and where it falls no one has seen.ĭrakengard is the first game in Cavia's Drakengard series, released in 2003 on the PlayStation 2.

As it relates to war-torn Sierra Leone, Ishmael would risk his own family if it meant future families wouldn't have to make the same choice.Vittorio Boiocchi, left, with Franchino Caravita. Ishmael's story concludes with his metaphorical decision to kill the monkey so that future hunters don't face the same dilemma. At the embassy in Guinea, Ishmael listens to a mother retell a familiar story of a hunter who has to decide whether to kill a monkey and risk his father's or his mother's death. Ishmael's journey out of Sierra Leone ends with a metaphor of the impossible choices faced by people in times of war. He deplores the violence in the streets that he used to embrace. He feels his soldiering self boiling inside, but he knows that, as a civilian, if he commits acts of violence, he'll be punished. Ishmael's true transformation is revealed when he finds himself in the middle of the mob of civilian protestors and must restrain his anger. Ishmael escapes the country illegally and makes a harrowing journey to the Sierra Leone embassy in Guinea, where he is given shelter as a war refugee. He calls Laura and asks if he can come to New York and live with her. Ishmael realizes he must escape the war and the chaos or he'll be pulled back into soldiering again. He declines quickly and dies in Ishmael's arms. Uncle Tommy falls ill one night, and there are no pharmacies or hospitals open to take him to. Ishmael has escaped the war only to have the war find him. For the next five months gunmen rule the streets, looting, raping, and killing people. Ishmael and Mohamed hide in a nearby ditch until nightfall. Gunmen open fire on the crowded market and many civilians are killed. One afternoon, Ishmael and Mohamed risk going into town to buy food and are swept up in a mob protest. The schools and universities are occupied, so Ishmael and his cousins remain inside their home. By nightfall, the civilian government has been overthrown by a coup collaboration involving the RUF and the military, also called the "Sobels." They begin blowing up bank vaults for money and raiding markets and homes for supplies. He writes that he doubts he could live through the violence again. Ishmael wakes to gunfire and fears the return of civil war. On May 25, 1997, violence breaks out in the capital. Ishmael begins calling Mohamed his brother so that neither of them have to explain their past. The students know that he was a boy soldier and fear that he'll snap at any moment and hurt them, so they sit apart and refuse to speak to Ishmael and Mohamed. Ishmael returns to his Uncle's home in Freetown and begins the school year. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, if you roll a 5, 5 (50 points each x 2 for 100 points), and then roll another 5 (50 points), you can’t combine the 5, 5 with the 5, to form three of a kind (500 points). You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls. Scoring is based on selected dice in each roll. Each player gets one more turn to beat the high score. When 10,000 or more points are scored, that player goes out. After you select the dice you want to keep you can either risk all the points earned this turn and roll the remaining dice (the fewer dice you roll the greater the chance you will Farkle, see Farkle Odds) or bank those hard earned points on your way to 10,000+ points. ![]() You must select at least one scoring die after each roll. The following combinations can be scored: To win at Farkle you must be the player with the highest score above 10,000 points on the final round of play.Play continues until it is your turn again. When the player has either banked their points or Farkled, the dice are passed to the next player.This “hot dice” move can be repeated over and over. If the player has successfully with some luck and strategy used all six dice to score, then the player gets to roll all six dice again for a chance to earn more points.If the remaining dice rolled do not have a scoring combination, then the player has “FARKLED” and points earned that turn are gone foreever.The player can either bank the points earned that turn to their total points and pass the dice to the next player or risk the points earned that turn and roll the ramaining dice again, hoping to earn more points.After rolling, the player sets aside specific dice combinations which have a score value.Each player starts their turn by rolling six dice.The goal is to be the player with 10,000 or more points on the final turn.

If you have any comment, please feel free to leave them below.Ĭomments Posted by Azadul Haq on 11:15:00 AM This method involves using a separate computer for the encoding tasks. Try to stay away from Encore handling the burning chore. Same thing, use ImgBurn to burn the BluRay folder into BluRay disc. You can download a template to the link provided above. In BluRay, the root menu is replaced by Popup menu. It is a feature only available in BluRay, but not DVD. Encore just needs extra time to adjust the video frame for each timeline, and verifying if the replaced video file is BluRay compliant.Ĭheck on the Project pane in Encore all the new replaced video files are show "Don't Transcode". This time it will take Encore quite some time to open the project. Open the project, select each import video clip and hit Ctrl-Alt-Shirt-R to replace the same video with the HD version encoded in Step 4. Rename this folder to reflect this is a BluRay built Make a copy of the encore project folder in Windows Exporer. Test the DVD to makes sure all navigation structures are in place. In that case, you save time before you can test the built DVD. Building DVD is much faster than building BluRay. Import all DVD MPEG-2 files into the project and start authoring in Encoreīuild the final DVD (We always build into DVD folder, then use ImgBurn to burn the DVD folder into a DVD-video disc). This project is actually for building DVD. To have a smooth process to "Author Once, Output Twice", try to follow these steps in Encore to build both DVD and BluRay.Ĭreate a HD project. It will degrade the video quality and it will also exponentially increase the overall built time.Įncore is capable to author both DVD and BluRay. It is a must to AVOID transcoding by Encore. Author with EncoreIf the imported videos are not DVD or BluRay compliance, Encore will transcode the video. Select about 4GB worth of MPEG-2 files for DVD authoring and 22 GB files for BluRay authoring.ĥ. Now we mix and match all footage to fill the output medium. That save up the bandwidth for more frequent viewed chapters such as the Event Highlights video. Thus a lower data rate encoded file will be selected. For example, the Wedding Ceremony chapter is usually less frequent to watch. The reason to encode each video files into 4 different data rate is, during authoring, we can mix and match different file size to optimize the total disc capacity. We actually use GrassValley Procoder for MPEG-2 DVD as it's Master Quality preset generates Hollywood movie quality MPEG-2 output.įor BluRay authoring, we export as "H.264 BluRay" with the following data rate is used. We must avoid having Encore to transcode any imported video files (see steps below).įor DVD, we encode video into MPEG-2 with the following data rates. Therefore, we do not need rely on Encore to transcode so all the videos fit to the DVD or BluRay. We encode each video files in 4 data rates. This off-load the main computer for editing work. We use a separate machine with Adobe Media Encoder for batch encoding purpose. Encoding TricksEncoding is a time consuming task. However, the overall exporting and encoding time will be longer because Premiere will need to render several times.Ĥ. In that case, you do not need to export to an Intermediate Codec. You can also export directly from Premiere timeline to Adobe Media Encoder. Since the intermediate codec is a high quality "lossless" codec, there is almost no reduction of the image quality loss. ExportAfter editing, we export the edited footage to an intermediate format such as Cineform AVI or Matrox AVI. However, if you do want to invest in Cineform, there is the free Matrox I-Frame HD Intermediate Codec you can try.ģ. However, the NLE is always happier to edit AVI files.
