Monster Train developer Shiny Shoe has announced that its early access game Inkbound will soon undergo a pretty big change. The game will abandon its in-game monetization efforts, all in an effort to follow trends in the industry and player sentiment. As noted in a Steam blog post, we’re told that the upgrade pass will be removed and the previous content will become cosmetic-only optional support pack DLC sold on Steam. In addition to this, the in-game currency known as Shinies is being changed to Vault Dust, which can now only be earned by playing the game and can be used to obtain cosmetic items. Players who have purchased Shines in the past will also receive twice the Vault Dust reward, regardless of whether the Shiny is spent. Finally, to ensure players get a wide variety of cosmetic items, chests will occasionally be available upon defeating the Guardian which will award random cosmetic rewards you don’t already have. All these changes will take effect starting on October 27, 2023, when Inkbound’s next major update arrives. The game is scheduled to leave Early Access sometime next year.

The Finance Ministry on Tuesday gave a green light to the Rs 60,000 crore incentive program to bolster urban housing initiatives. According to the ET Now exclusive report, the Expenditure Finance Committee, a key arm of the Finance Ministry, has approved the Housing Ministry’s proposal, signalling a significant stride in promoting affordable housing in urban areas. In his 15th August speech, PM Modi announced a plan to offer interest subsidies on bank loans for those living in urban slums, chawls, rented houses and unauthorised colonies to have their own houses.

New music in St. Ruprecht: Call for projects (September 2024 – June 2025) – mica
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
2023-10-16 06:41:00
The New Music concert series in St. Ruprecht is looking for ensembles for the AiR – Artist in Residence project. To promote ensembles that specialize in new and experimental music, NMR awards two composition commissions that expand the ensemble’s repertoire and are premiered in the Ruprechtskirche.
Theme
The 2024/25 concert season New music in St.Ruprecht is entitled “false stability | “False fragility” We are looking for projects that examine or shed light on the topic of (mis)concepts and (mis)conceptions of fragility and stability.
The concert series New music in St. Ruprecht is a place for the presentation of “peripheral” music of Austrian and international provenance. Both acoustic concerts and electronic music forms that honor the special acoustic conditions are desired.
Particular attention is paid to premieres and pieces prepared for the concert series New music in St.Ruprecht are conceived and which have content compatibility with the manifesto (. Programs that contain real-time music or exclusively music of the 21st century are preferred.
Submission categories
- Concert / Performance: Bands, ensembles, soloists with a finished or fully designed program with a theme. All genres from the field of contemporary music and transdisciplinary projects are welcome (compositions, improvisations, electronics, drone, etc.).
- AiR – Artists in Residence: Composers and existing ensembles can apply for “AiR” – Artists in Residence. Two composers and one ensemble will be selected from the applications. As part of a concert evening, the two new works will be premiered by the ensemble and compared with selected contemporary repertoire of the ensemble. Submission only possible for existing ensembles.
Technical possibilities
The Ruprechtskirche is a sacred building with the corresponding acoustics.
A stereo PA with 12-channel mixer (without subwoofer) is available. There is no lighting system, just the hall light. Any additional equipment required must be rented and this must also be taken into account in the budget for the concert. At this point, the New Music team in St. Ruprecht can help with addresses or an estimate of the costs. In principle, however, concerts with frontal stereo PA, but also multi-channel situations that use the entire room, can be realized.
Important: There is no organ in the church – only a (usually untuned and untunable) piano is available.
Financial
The budget for implementation depends on funding and sponsors and is not yet fully secured at the time of this call for proposals. We would therefore like to point out that, for these reasons, the chances of realistically calculated projects or those with modest resources tend to be higher. In any case, the concert series is more suitable for smaller ensembles.
Deadline
January 20, 2024 (Inbox)
The call is valid for the period September 2024 to June 2025.
Submissions received following the deadline will not be considered.
