We also have a special Guest Hera (https://www.twitch.tv/herasays)
Blacklist and Lunatix Allegations
So this happened recently apparently Blacklist terminates its partnership with Lunatix. Fist context, so from what I've read in Oneesports Blacklist has teamed up with Malaysian esports organization Team Lunatix in preparation for MDL. But things didn't pan out here is what happened after, then you decide if its mismanagement. In a Spin.PH report, Blacklist Lunatix' manager Eviann Balquin alleged that they hardly received monthly support. This includes food expenses and pay the players' salaries. From the article, it was mentioned they received 2,500 monthly given that there are 9 members.
Palia
There is one game I keep seeing on Twitch streamers and it is called Palia. So from what I read online, it's a free-to-play MMO? But it's not just any MMO; it is a cozy life simulator. So it's like animal crossing? Or Farmville? Unlike other MMOs, there is no combat?
Unity Engine
On our final topic seems like our guest is familiar with this, so let me give the premise. So there is a game engine called Unity a game engine is where you create games one popular example is Unreal Engine, Source Engine, and even godot. It is also cross-platform compatible. The engine has a free and paid (pro and subscription) version which is reserved for bigger studios.
Lets now go to the controversy. On September 12, 2023, Unity announced that use of the engine would become subject to royalties which is also referred to as runtime fees. This will be calculated per installation and charged monthly and is planned to apply on beginning in January 2024. The cost will be 20 cents for personal and Unity plus, 15 cents for Unity Pro and i forgot the enterprise those are on dollars. This was met by criticism and backlash from developers.
HoyoFest Philippines
If you don't remember the first half of Hoyo Fest ended last August. Unfortunately, the Philippines was not included. But the good news because the second half will begin soon it will come to Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines. So for Filipinos, it will be on October 22 to October 29, 2023 and will be held at the “Event Center” Lower Ground Floor, SM Megamall Building A, EDSA, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila.
MK1 Switch
Seems like Mortal Kombat is off to a bad start at least for the Nintendo Switch. So what I'm talking well basically there is a minor graphic issue. IGN even reviewed the game 3 as awful. So what happened? Well basically the graphics are bad like really bad, you can check the screenshots on the Pinoy gamer FB page.
Switch 2
Speaking of Nintendo Switch seems like the performance issues will be addressed. Before that anyone here have switch? What games do you play? According to an article by Gamerant Nintendo Switch 2 was demoed at Gamescom. Apparently, it was running the Matrix Unreal Engine 5 demo with dlss. Then in an article by Videocardz based on the Activision internal emails. The Next-Gen Nintendo Switch is close to PS4/Xbox One performance. So basically Activision was briefed on Nintendo’s Switch 2 last year.
Gurren Lagann
Is anyone here familiar with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? The anime about spiral (not Uzumaki). Basically, they started underground and by the end of the series there in space throwing galaxies at one another. Its the anime with the tagline “Dont believe in yourself believe in me who believes in you”. Well apparently they are releasing a game. It will be a free-to-play mobile game set to release worldwide on October 12, 2023.
Cyberpunk 2077 FM Radio
The radio station will be called 89.7 Growl FM and will be presented by DJ Ash. Voiced by Sasha Gray, not sure who is this you might want to google? Growl FM is one of three new stations appearing in Cyberpunk 2077 with Update 2.0
