We have reviewed your feedback and decided to update demo version with new mana collection mechanics. We agree that is was really boring to hold down the spacebar during a large part of the game. Now you can collect mana instantly when you run trough the orbs. This is a completely different experience. Check it out right now!

We also tweaked the balance to make the game a little easier on Easy and Normal modes. And fixed some bugs. Thanks for your feedback!

Dino Hazard: Chronos Blackout - Bone Collectors
Hello everyone!

The first week after the release of our open-world beta brought several new players. Thank you for playing Dino Hazard!

We have many players now since the first beta release. I am really grateful for your comments and reports that are assisting me in every update.

If you are enjoying the experience so far, may I ask you a favor? Would you please review the game on the Steam Store page? This will help us gain more visibility and will accelerate the final production phase.

Regarding the Open-World

I am still working on most of the complexes on the island. I added 'electronic locks' at the buildings that are not ready yet. The idea is to open a new complex every two weeks or less.
Stay alert.

Farming Simulator 22 - Smorgasbork
In Farming Simulator 22, surfaces will appear more realistic and natural. Thanks to Parallax Occlusion Mapping we implemented in the GIANTS Engine 9. Parallax Occlusion will make the terrain and other surfaces in the game look more detailed and dynamic if the feature is turned on in the settings. Let's take a look and see what's actually happening. 

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1248130/Farming_Simulator_22/


What is Parallax Occlusion Mapping?



We'll try to explain it as simple as possible: Parallax Occlusion Mapping is a technique that basically boosts the details of a textured surface to give it depth. Like the tire tracks on your field, trenching in the ground. They're deeper now, and here's why:

In the first step, Parallax Occlusion Mapping reduces a geometric complexity of a 3D model. Like the gravel on a road or even bricks in a wall, for example. The reduced surface details are transformed into a flat texture. When the model is rendered in the game, the surface details are put in a so-called "height map". That's what it looks like:



The height-map basically adds a depth to the otherwise flat surface. Imagine the height map as a geographical map with hills and valleys. Different colors mean different depths. As you can see in the height-map above - the darker the surface, the deeper it is. Based on this info stored in the image, the surface is then reconstructed in the game, appearing three-dimensional and realistic.
Yeah, but why Parallax Occlusion, though?
There are a couple of reasons to use Parallax Occlusion Mapping in video games like Farming Simulator 22 to achieve this effect. First of all, the result looks very realistic and certainly adds a depth to the surfaces in the game. Doesn't it look neat? Just take a loot at these visualizations of surfaces gaining depth.





Then, of course, it's performance-friendly. The degree of Parallax Occlusion Mapping is determined by your hardware and graphical settings. This way, we can improve Farming Simulator further while still keeping it hardware-friendly for every gamer out there.

If your system can handle it, crank up the settings, and you'll get the best possible result. If not, don't worry - you can still play Farming Simulator 22 with lowered settings and Parallax Occlusion turned off. 


So, how will the game look? 

Roads, fields, walls and buildings: You'll notice the improved surfaces everywhere when walking around in Elmcreek, Erlengrat and... well, the third one we'll show you soon. 







We're still working on Parallax Occlusion Mapping, but with those first comparisons, you should get a good sense for what to expect.

Please take in mind that the effect may not be properly reflected in still images compared to live gameplay when Farming Simulator 22 with finalized Parallax Occlusion Mapping is released and running on your system.

To wrap this up for now, take a closer look at the ground. Doesn't it seem like you'd feel more alive walking on this rocky path barefoot? Yeah, nice right?







Stay tuned for more!

Farming Simulator 22 will be available for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia on November 22nd. Pre-order now to receive the CLAAS XERION SADDLE TRAC Pack for free!

Black Desert - Vinyl Mix


Following the 2020 Spring, Summer, and Winter seasons, comes the advent of the 2021 Summer Season! Kick off the first season with Corsair, the newest class to debut on Black Desert this June 29!

This season is sure to bring a wave of excitement to all Black Desert Adventurers, whether you are a rookie or a veteran Adventurer! (๑>ᴗ<๑)

But what lies in store for the 2021 Summer Season? What’s new? What’s different?

Check out the GM Note to find out more!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with season servers in general, have no fear! The [Adventurer’s Guide] Season FAQ will explain the basics of the season servers!

1. How to Create a Season Character

Once you’ve logged into Black Desert, go to the Character Selection screen and press the [+] button to see all of Black Desert’s many classes. If you want to learn more about each class, make sure to check out the [Class Introductions]!

Have you figured out which class you want to play? If so, once you’ve customized the character to your liking and decided on a character name, check the “Season Character” checkbox and click Create! Now you’ve successfully created a season character! (You can only make one season character per season!)

2. Season Character and Server Perks
Season characters and servers have a lot of perks! Let’s learn about them below.

■ Season Character Perks
First off, season characters receive special level up rewards every time they reach a certain level. The 2021 Summer Season offers a variety of rewards, including Adventurer Shoes and enhancement materials, that will help you progress and get even more rewards!

If you want to learn more about the Season Character Level Up rewards, check out the [Event] Season Server Level Up Rewards event page. And what if you are playing the Corsair class as your season character? Then, check out the [Event] Ahoy! Thar She Levels! event page to find out what rewards you can get as well!

■ Season Server Perks
The Season Servers are special servers that can only be accessed by Season Characters. Additionally, these servers are only available for a limited period of time. As these servers are focused on character progression, they offer 24/7 EXP buffs without limitations on character levels.

The Combat EXP +250% and Skill EXP +50% buff will be active 24/7 from
June 29, 2021 (Tue) after maintenance – July 14, 2021 (Wed) before maintenance!


Every time you reach a certain level or achieve a certain requirement, you will obtain a Leveling Aid Box for each level. Not only will there be the Combat/Skill EXP buffs, but there are also Time-filled Black Stones and Inventory Expansion Coupons!

All these perks are intended to boost your character progression!

■ Season Pass

The Season Pass can be accessed from the Black Spirit button at the left of the minimap. This Season Pass is meant to support our Adventurers as they progress in the season and is only available to season characters.

Make sure to get all the Challenge rewards in the Season Pass as they will definitely aid your character progression!

Check out the [Event] Season Pass notice for more information about the Challenges and rewards!

* If you progress through the simplified main questline, you can talk to the Black Spirit to receive the “Normal Season Pass” rewards after completing a quest.

■ Season Exclusive Tuvala Gear
Tuvala Gear is a special kind of equipment that can only be equipped by season characters! There are two main ways to obtain Tuvala Gear.


In order to enhance the Tuvala Gear, you will need the following enhancement materials: Time-filled Black Stones, Tuvala Ore, and Refined Magical Black Stone. You can obtain these enhancement materials from various sources, which include monster zones, the Season Pass, and more.



■ Season Graduation Rewards
Adventurers who have finished their journey in the summer season servers can expect a special reward to prepare them for the normal servers!

Once you graduate, you’ll receive one of the items below through a Season Special Gift Exchange Coupon. (You can only receive each special reward once per Family. If you’ve claimed it before, you can’t receive it again!)


* Adventurers who missed out on a previous season reward can select it and exchange for it this time around!

Upon graduating, you can open the Gift Box Full of Memories to receive a variety of items, including Cron Stones, Advice of Valks, and Secret Book of Old Moon, that will help you in your adventures on the normal servers. However, make sure you pay close attention to the [Season] Boss Gear Exchange Coupon that you can also obtain!

If you use the Exchange Coupon, you can exchange a single piece of PRI (I) - PEN (V) Tuvala Gear for Boss Gear. The Boss Gear you exchange for will be one enhancement level lower than the Tuvala Gear you exchanged.
E.g.) PEN (V) Tuvala Armor → TET (IV) Dim Tree Spirit’s Armor

The exchanged Boss Gear is bound to your Family. It can be enhanced with Caphras Stone and even be made into Fallen God’s Armor. However, the Boss Gear cannot be listed on the Central Market.

3. What’s Different in the 2021 Summer Season
We’ve heard all kinds of feedback and suggestions from Adventurers who enjoyed the previous Spring, Summer, and Winter Seasons. So, shall we see what’s new and different in the 2021 Summer Season?

■ Simplified Main Questline (Existing Adventurers)
We’ve added a new “Simplified Main Questline” for our existing Adventurers.

* You can progress through the simplified main questline with a summer season character only once per Family.
* The simplified main questline will only be available while the season servers are active and will disappear once the season ends.

Adventurers who fulfill all the requirements and have completed the main questline up ‘till “The Sage of Velia” can accept the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family quest from the NPC Alustin in Velia.

If you’ve completed the final quest of the Balenos main questline, Embarking on an Adventure, you will no longer be able to accept the [Special Growth] Birth of a Prestigious Family quest. Thus, you will no longer be able to do the simplified main questline, so make sure to check in with the NPC Alustin beforehand!

■ Season Character Transfer System
What if you created your season character as Class A, but now want to enjoy the season with Class B...?

Don’t worry! Because in the 2021 Summer Season, there is a new Season Character Transfer System that allows you to use “Fughar’s Timepiece” to transfer your season character status and Combat/Skill EXP!


* Warning! Quests that are in progress or completed on Class A will not be transferred to Class B!

Also, the Class B character that you wish to transfer the season character status to must be Lv. 25 or lower to be transferrable. (Class A must be connected to a normal server with all their gear unequipped.)

Once you’ve used Fughar’s Timepiece, you will receive three exchange coupons (Tuvala Main Weapon Exchange Coupon, Tuvala Sub-weapon Exchange Coupon, and Tuvala Awakening Exchange Coupon) in the transferred character’s inventory after you’ve gone to the Character Selection screen. Use these coupons to change your Tuvala weapons to ones that are suitable for Class B!

■ Party Monster Zones
Did you start the Summer Season with guildmates or friends?

In this season, three areas were changed to “Party Monster Zones.” (Normal and season servers!) Take this chance to party up with your friends and stack up loot together!

* Once the Summer Season ends, these monster zones will revert back to their original state.

You’re now ready to head off to the Season Servers!

See you there!

War Thunder - pryanick


From 12:00 GMT on the 1st of July until 07:00 GMT on the 3rd of July

Participate in 3 battles with an activity level of 60% or higher while using US and British vehicles of rank II and above and receive the unique “Canada Day” decal!



Each year, Canadians celebrate the anniversary of their nation becoming an independent confederation of the United Kingdom after the three separate British colonies of ‘Canada’, ‘Nova Scotia’, and ‘New Brunswick’ united to form a single dominion on 1 July 1867.

Often referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, and generally celebrated on the 1st of July (except when it would fall on a Sunday, in which case, it is observed on the 2nd of July) Canada Day marks an important milestone for the country on its way to full independence. While it, at that stage, remained a British colony, the subsequent increased level of political and governmental control allowed it to gain increasing independence in the following years, continuing up until it became completely independent in 1982.

Canada Day is celebrated across the country with various activities, including outdoor parades, carnivals, gatherings, festivals shows, concerts and fireworks. Now, it is time to participate in those celebrations in War Thunder!
  • This task can be completed in random battles, except the “Enduring Confrontation” and [Assault] game modes.
  • To follow your progress, click on “Your nickname” → Achievements → Canada Day.
