Demons, Ghosts, and Spirits - Across The Multiverse
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to the Hard Light Network!
Demons, Spirits, Wraiths, Ghosts
The disembodied souls of the departed, or sinister forces of darkness? Ghosts, Spirits, and their like are as common a threat across the multiverse as the other enemies we've discussed so far but what makes them such a compelling force in media? Much like the bandits and beasts we've covered already there are a wide variety of spiritual beings populating the various locales we might visit in our travels, each governing their own spheres of influence. These transient spirits are incorporeal, only able to manifest in the physical realm once they've siphoned enough spiritual entity, or take control of a host's body via possession, and seek to influence mortal affairs in order to further their own goals. Their limited ability to effect the physical world leads many of these phantoms to influence people through fear and suggestive thinking.

Beasts, Freaks, and Monsters - Across The Multiverse
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to the Hard Light Network!
Abominations, Beasts, Freaks, Monsters.
Savage creatures in all shapes and forms populate the most remote worlds and scavenge at the fringes of both the human mind and our society alike. Whether it be beasts of unspeakable terror prowling the remote wilderness, or manmade abominations, the results of vile experimentation prowling the abandoned outskirts of civilization monsters of every shape and size can be found across the multiverse. Creatures beyond our ability, but rarely beyond our understanding, monsters of all sorts represent the very real threat posed by the wild and our primal fear of it. The standing accomplishment of civilization is its conquest over nature, however everywhere we turn the brutal reality of our environment makes itself known. For as far a humanity has come, nature remains eternally opposed to our efforts to tame it. It is no wonder then that the impenetrable depths of the wilderness would birth great and terrible horrors. However, it isn't just the beast without that civilized man fears, but the beast within as well.

Bandits, Thieves, and Murderers - Across The Multiverse
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to The Hard Light Network!
Bandits, Criminals, Marauders and Psychos
Villains of various occupations can be found plaguing society at every level, from petty thieves to bloodthirsty warlords. Bandits are probably the single most common foe we are likely to encounter in our travels anywhere in the multiverse. Very often these people are nothing more than opportunistic thugs, highwaymen looking for easy money during a crisis, exploiting the corrupt and cowardly alike, and pushing around the weak and defenseless. In other instances people are driven to violence and madness due to their environment. Regardless of whether or not their psychosis is the result of widespread experimentation, or if they were just born in a post apocalyptic hellscape, these characters are beyond reason and wreak chaos wherever they have the misfortune of showing up. Another prominent member in the ranks of these ne'er-do-wells are the politically motivated and organized terror cells. Radical actors waging war on society at large, meeting police and military forces with explosive ordinance and guerilla tactics. Wherever there is a man to be motivate by either greed or need, you will find bandits, marauders, and their ilk, and the line that separates them from regular people is easily blurred. For as varied as their presentation might be, the core reality of these characters is that they are the easiest enemies to empathize with, and as a result of our shared humanity, they are especially dangerous.

Have Horror Games Peaked? - Scribe Speaks
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to The Hard Light Network!
What is your biggest fear? Are you scared of snakes and spiders? Maybe Ghosts and Spirits are more frightening to you. Maybe you're afraid of something a little more... Silly? [Clown] Horror games offer us an outlet to explore the darker elements of the human psyche through the (relatively) safe medium of gaming. However, when was the last time you played a horror game that didn't rely on excessive gore or jump scares to create fear and tension? Have Horror games peaked?
Horror as a genre has so much potential to create stories, with numerous sub-genres attesting to its versatility. The convergence of ominous sound design, uncanny environments and often deeply self-reflective themes is capable of transporting players into their worlds with seemingly greater ease than any other genre. Fear elicits physical as well as emotional responses and one can tell a good horror game from an increased heart rate, sweaty palms, and paranoid reactions to the house creaking.
Images of Ghouls, Goblins, Monsters, Murderers, Werewolves and Witches occupy some of our oldest nightmares. Stories from all places, across all times accounting for the things that go bump in the night. With so much source material to draw inspiration from you'd think game developers would have an easy time creating thoughtful and horrifying narratives. Unfortunately nothing is scarier than corporate greed, and the commercialization of all things spooky has really taken a toll on the creativity on display.

Have Survival Games Peaked? - Scribe Speaks
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to The Hard Light Network!
Have you ever been stranded? Lost in the woods, or stuck in an unfamiliar place with no sense of direction? Survival games allow us the opportunity to test ourselves in these scenarios from the comfort of our homes, but when was the last time you played a survival game that wasn't just a hunger bar attached to your favorite First Person Shooter? Have Survival games peaked?
For all of the beasts, outlaws, and monsters populating the multiverse, Nature tops them all as an adversary. Battling the elements has been humanity's longest standing conflict. A never ending struggle that requires constant vigilance against an enemy that will quite literally, always exist. Hunger, Thirst, Disease, and Exposure, all persistent severe and subtle dangers that threaten not only us, but everyone else as well. Humanity's ability to adapt, outthink and when all else fails muscle through some of the world's most hostile environments is the key to our collective success. Long term solutions, often require short term sacrifices, and dedication to a plan. Consistency is the number one factor that determines a community's ultimate survival.

Have Strategy Games Peaked? - Scribe Speaks
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to The Hard Light Network!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to control entire armies? To build massive military bases and economic centers that would rival the world's mightiest empires? Strategy games offer all of us an opportunity to participate in war games on such a scale, but when was the last time you played a strategy game that wasn't an esoteric mess closer to an epic spreadsheet simulator rather than an exercise in tactical thinking? Have Strategy games peaked?
The early 2000's saw an explosion in strategy games. Remakes and reboots of point and click army management games from the early 90's were blowing up. One of my favorite games was the Army Men RTS, a formative game on my list of nostalgia generators it was advanced for it time, and the design is memorable even to this day. All of the staples are present. Resource and unit management, base building, and huge maps to dominate, all of the flagship RTS games that would follow would emulate these core design concepts in one way or another. However a trend I've noticed in more recent "strategy" games is a tendency toward smaller and less dynamic encounters. Less units on screen on smaller maps. It seems that by and large strategy games have been confined to the realm of mobile games for the foreseeable future.
While I don't have anything against unit based or tower defense games, they lack a certain scale and investment that larger engagements have. Having to take key strong points on larger maps to close the distance between you and your enemies. Having the option to search for hidden caches or units off the main path to give you an edge, no matter how small. Capturing unique/neutral structures for access to secret tech or mercenary units. Balancing all that on a simple but effective economy, and dividing your attention and manpower across the map. A true strategy game tests more than your ability to grind upgrades or spam units.

Have FPS Games Peaked? - Scribe Speaks
Hello fellow Traveler and welcome to The Hard Light Network!
When you think about "Video Games" what comes to mind? Maybe a 2D side scrolling adventure? Could be a Top-Down Building Sim? But it's likely that for most of you, the first image that comes to mind is probably an action packed, First Person Shooter. But have shooters hit their peak?
With their widespread popularity and adaptability, it's no surprise that the FPS genre has become ubiquitous with "video games" as a whole. Some of the earliest titles in gaming history placed players directly in the shoes of their protagonist as they battled through waves of soldiers, zombie hordes, gangs of monsters and more. With the popularity of these early titles enduring to this day, perpetuated by sequels, reboots, spin-offs, and spiritual successors. Notoriety however, can be a gift as much as it can be a curse, and as such these games are often the usual suspects when controversy strikes, offering low hanging fruit for censorious critics. However, with the massive role shooters play in competitive gaming not to mention the millions of dollars in military funding at their backs the censors will have to be content with small victories against this titanic industry.
So why would anyone say that First Person Shooters have peaked? With new titles releasing annually, fan bases that now span multiple generations, and the aforementioned popularity of the genre, how could anyone come to the conclusion that they've peaked? Well. Hear me out.
