Spotlight: Alex Gleason From Vegan On A Desert Island

For this month's interview we sat down with Alex Gleason, creator and developer of Vegan on a Desert Island , an upcoming libre action/puzzle RPG. The game follows the story of Rachel, a vegan girl who shipwrecks on an island, and becomes embroiled in a quest to uphold her own conflicted values against the interests of the island's many talking animals. A newcomer on the scene, we spoke with Alex on what inspired him to create this project, along with his views on activism, software freedom, game development, and of course, life. FG: Tell us a bit about yourself and your project to begin with. Alex: My name is Alex Gleason and I'm making a game called Vegan on a Desert Island (VOADI). It's a puzzle-adventure game with emphasis on art, music, and storytelling. The game is about Rachel's journey, which I modeled after some events in my life involving animal rights activism I organized in real life, including all its conflict and turmoil. It's a linear story mean...

G Fuel Alternative (Monday Musings 83)

When I saw one of my friends stream, she mentioned that she was drinking G Fuel, and felt that it gave her very smooth energy, and no crashes after the effects wore off. She felt too jittery on the other energy drinks. Intrigued, I looked into G Fuel. The ingredients aren't harmful because of the low dosages, but I hate the Sucralose and Acesulfame after taste, which G Fuel contains, and further, G Fuel is rather expensive at $35.99 for 40 servings, approximately $1 per serving, so I thought I can find a healthier and more cost-effective alternative to G Fuel. After doing research, I found that the most effective way to improve energy and mental alertness is the tried and true, boring and effortful healthy ways such as: Going to bed and getting up at the same time, i.e. good consistent sleep - most people need 8 hours Exercising around 30 minutes between 55 to 85% (60% makes the most sense) of your max heart rate, at least 3 times/week, calculator here . Fruits and vegetables - at ...

Game 360: Quest For Power (1981)

Problem #1: Nothing Arthur or Galahad did was done "for power."           Quest for Power United States Crystalware (developer and original publisher); Epyx (later publisher) Released in 1981 for Atari 800 and Apple II. Rereleased in 1982 as King Arthur's Heir Date Started : 5 March 2020 Date Finished: 5 March 2020 Total Hours: 1 Difficulty: Very Easy (1/5) Final Rating: (to come later) Ranking at time of posting: (to come later)             Quest for Power is another insulting game from Crystalware, a company that was either knowingly scamming its customers or so clueless about what made a good game that they must have never played one. I admit that their titles at least sound interesting--I was sucked in by the backstory of House of Usher (1980), for instance--but if anything they've gotten progressively worse as time passed, losing core elements that made them, if not "good," at l...

Reminder: Transfer Season Ends 28 February 2020

It is only through being a  member of an affiliated club, that a player may earn a spot in the National Protea Team. In order to transfer from one club to another, a Registered Player needs to settle all of his debts with his current club, and apply to such club to leave. MSSA, only allows this, unless in exceptional circumstances, to happen in the period 1 November to 28 February. The reasons for only having one transfer period is to: Create stability in in both clubs and teams In the past, gamers were known to 'clan hop'. While this at the time may have rewarded certain players with immediate gratification (in sponsorships, prize-money, etc.) it did  nothing to allow a club to fully develop the gamer. If a club is not sure about the length of time that a gamer will be a member of the club, the club is more likely to abuse the gamer's skills and not further develop the gamer. So it has been in the past where MSSA has seen some gamers move from one club to another as soon a...

The Ninja Saviors: Return Of The Warriors Review (PS4)

Written by Alexander O. Cuaycong and Anthony L. Cuaycong Title : The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors Developer : NatsumeAtari Publisher : ININ Games Genre : Action, Arcade, Fighting Price : $19.99 Also Available On: Switch Back in the nineties, the two dimensional beat-'em-up genre was in its prime. Games like Golden Axe and Double Dragon found a niche in the fickle market by giving audiences fast, intense, action-packed experiences. Seeing the trend, Taito released Ninja Warriors on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994. For a port of a seven-year-old arcade offering, it held up well; in fact, it was praised for its tight controls, good pacing, and vibrant art style, all while cashing in on its ninja aesthetic. That said, no sequel was planned or made, effectively relegating it as a footnote in history. Until now, that is. Ninja Warriors has made its way to modern consoles 25 years after its original release via The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors, ...
