Deus Ex and Guardians of the Galaxy saga writer Mary DeMarl has joined BioWare. DeMarle announced the event on her account, stating, “I’m excited to announce that I’m starting a new career as Senior Director of Storytelling at EA/BioWare!”
According to DeMarle’s portfolio, she is an award-winning game industry screenwriter with a solid track record. The girl worked on scripts for Guardians of the Galaxy, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Myst IV: Revelation, Myst III: Exile and Homeworld 2.
It is worth noting that gamers praised the storylines of these products at the time, especially noting how advantageous the Guardians of the Galaxy story looks, given that the game was not originally designed for a narrative basis.
DeMarle spent almost 15 years at Eidos before moving to BioWare, and before that she worked at Ubisoft. It is not yet known what the scriptwriter’s first project at BioWare will be, but it is possible that she will be connected to work on the next parts of Mass Effect or Dragon Age, which are currently in production.
How did this girl manage a successful tourism project in an area famous for volcanoes? | latest news
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Kahau Hole, 28, succeeded in establishing a tourism project that generates thousands of dollars annually by setting up a tourist tent in Hawaii in 2014, 10 minutes from an area with active volcanoes.
Hall’s motivation for launching this project was that she grew up in that area and was used to seeing lava from her balcony.
The 20-year-old spent less than $300 on setting up the tent in 2014, while she spent regarding $8,000 on amenities.
This project requires Hall 10 to 15 hours of work per week, yet generates annual revenues of $28,000.
Those gains make sense for the popular tourist area, with total tourist spending on all Hawaiian islands at $17.75 billion in 2019.
A night in a Hole tent costs $70, and she has an average of three bookings a week.
But things did not go this positive way when the Corona pandemic broke out and Hawaii required a mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers.
With these restrictions, Hall’s business was disrupted, as she did not receive any reservations for 6 months, and consequently lost most of her source of income.
But things started to improve once more early last year as customers booked month-long stays and many people started working remotely.
The 28-year-old now plans to open three or four tents in the next two to three years.
The main obstacle she now faces, Hall noted, is competition. She described the Hawaiian tourism industry as so fierce that when people see a good idea they often take steps to copy it.

“After three decades of advocacy and months of negotiations, I am proud to announce, on behalf of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), that we have reached another historic milestone for our children and their families,” said AFN Manitoba Regional Chief Cindy Woodhouse said in a statement.
“We have kept our children in our hearts and prayers throughout negotiations to reach an agreement that we believe fairly upholds the 2019 orders of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and expands the scope of First Nations children and families eligible for compensation for experiencing discrimination under the federal First Nations Child and Family Services program and the narrow application of Jordan’s Principle,” said she added.
For its part, the federal government spoke of a “historic settlement agreement – the largest in Canadian history – which recognizes the harms suffered by First Nations children and their families”.
“Historical harm demands historical reparations. While no compensation can compensate for the pain and trauma that the Government of Canada’s actions have caused to First Nations children and families, this final settlement agreement is an important step towards acknowledging the harm done and beginning the hard work of healing,” said Minister of Indigenous Services Patty Hajdu.
The $20 billion agreement provides compensation for children “who were removed from their homes under the First Nations Child and Family Services program between 1is April 1991 and March 31, 2022”, as well as those “who were affected by the narrow definition of Jordan’s Principle adopted by the government between December 12, 2007 and November 2, 2017”.
Children who have not received or have received an essential public service or product late between 1is April 1991 and December 11, 2007 may also be eligible for compensation, just as parents or grandparents caring for these children may also be eligible for compensation.
Although this final settlement agreement is subject to approval by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and the Federal Court of Canada, the AFN expects compensation to begin flowing to First Nations next year. .
A motion to approve the settlement is expected to be heard by the Federal Court of Canada in September 2022. The agreement will include a distribution protocol, which will specify who will be eligible for compensation and how to apply for it.
