“If you make it right, you can make a living out of adventure games.” Javier Cadenas, founder of independent studio enComplot, summed up his team’s optimism and confidence in the final stages of development for us during Gamelab on The Season of the Warlock, a game created by A point-and-click adventure game made by fans, for fans. Development on the adventure game has been in the works for several years, during which time the team also had to deal with industry misgivings regarding the point-and-click adventure genre, so they opted to self-publish the game, which is expected to launch on both PC and consoles next year. “Hopefully we’ll finish development this year, we’re hoping to find a release window for next year. But there’s already a demo a few years ago on Steam that everybody can play and see how the game goes, you know, the voiceover, eventually the music, eventually Graphics, etc. One of the most interesting things that makes Season of the Warlock different is its dual storyline, because at the beginning of the story there is a crossroads, and depending on the decisions you make at that point, the game will be completely different.” According to Your choice, the main part of the storyline is roughly the same theme. The characters and background are the same, but the goals of each branch are completely different. And 100% of the puzzles will change too. It’s clear that such an adventure is a challenge, but to say that Cardenas’ emphasis on developing a click point is to move away from “moon logic,” which he sees as a mistake in communicating the game’s logic to players. “If you contextualize the game correctly, if you label everything correctly, if you give the player enough clues, they’ll understand how the design works. Hopefully the studio will finish the adventure and give us one soon Confirmed release date.

A Xiaomi launched on August 1st two new entry-level smartphones Redmi 12 5G and Redmi 12 4G, models that share some technical characteristics focusing on cost-effectiveness. Despite the announcement at the beginning of the month, the availability of cell phones started only on the morning of last Friday (4th) in India.

According to official information from the manufacturer, the Redmi 12 line — which includes both 5G and 4G versions — sold more than 300,000 units in just 24 hours following the stock has been released. The company, however, did not reveal the exact number that each model sold, but considering the popularity of 5G, it is possible that it will lead sales.

With this impressive result, Xiaomi obtained in a single day more than US$ 3 million with the Redmi 12 line, an amount equivalent to R$ 1.4 billion in direct conversion into Brazilian currency. This confirms the interest of the brand’s customers in phones with a more accessible price and technical specifications capable of running applications and light games.

The Redmi 12 5G comes equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset and three RAM memory options: 4 GB, 6 GB or 8 GB with up to 256 GB of internal storage. Meanwhile, the 4G variant brings under the back cover the SoC MediaTek Helio G88 offering similar performance but without compatibility with the fifth generation of mobile networks.

Thank you India for the overwhelming response!
Your unwavering support has been indispensable in making this achievement a reality.

HANDOUT / AFP (FILES) This NASA file image obtained 09 August 2002 shows one of the Voyager spacecraft. Now in its 25th year, Voyager continues its quest to push the bounds of space exploration. The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft opened new vistas in space by greatly expanding our knowledge of Jupiter and Saturn. NASA’s Voyager 2 probe has signaled it is in “good health” following mission control mistakenly cut contact for several days, the space agency said in its latest update. Launched in 1977 as a beacon from humanity to the wider Universe, it is currently more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) from our planet, exploring interstellar space along with its twin, Voyager 1. A series of planned commands sent to Voyager 2 on July 21, 2023, “inadvertently caused the antenna to point two degrees away from Earth,” NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said in a recent update.

One of NASA’s two Voyager probes, with which communication was restored thanks to an “interstellar cry”.

SCIENCE – It’s the end of a big scare. NASA announced on Friday August 4 that it had fully restored communications with its legendary Voyager 2 probe, following inadvertently interrupting them at the end of July.

The probe, launched into space in 1977 and currently located 19.9 billion kilometers from Earth, “operating normally” and stayed well “on its expected trajectory”NASA said in a statement.

“Last night I restored full communications with Earth through quick thinking and a lot of collaboration. I am functioning normally and staying on my planned trajectory. I am so happy to finally be able to call home”commented with humor the NASA Voyager account on Twitter.

Commands sent on July 21 had mistakenly pointed the ship’s antenna in the wrong direction, away from Earth, interrupting data communication.

NASA sent a “interstellar cry”

This week, NASA confirmed that it had succeeded in detecting the signal from Voyager 2 thanks to the « deep space network »an international network of antennas, indicating that it was in ” good health “.

Then the“equivalent to an interstellar cry” has been sent, “ordering the probe to reorient itself and return its antenna to Earth”, NASA explained on Friday. The scientists explained that this technique was unlikely to work, but it finally paid off.

Given the distance at which Voyager 2 is, the command took just over 18 hours to reach it, and it took the same amount of time before being able to be sure of the result, NASA explained.

The US space agency is now receiving science and telemetry (distance measurement) data from the probe once more, she confirmed.

From the solar system to interstellar space

If that method didn’t work, NASA hoped an automatic reorientation maneuver would fix the problem, but that wasn’t expected until a distant date, in October.

Voyager 2 left the protective bubble of the Sun, called the heliosphere, in 2018 to enter interstellar space. Before leaving the solar system, it became the only probe to fly over Uranus and Neptune.

Its twin Voyager 1, also launched in 1977, became the first craft to enter interstellar space in 2012 and is currently regarding 24 billion kilometers from Earth.

The two probes, mythical NASA missions, each carry recordings of sounds and images of the Earth on gold and copper plates.
