Working in the gaming industry

Estamos na época mais maravilhosa do ano e, agora que The Sims 4 tem decorações festivas para o Natal e Ano Novo, achamos que seria divertido mostrar algumas maneiras de seus Sims darem a maior festa.

Para começar, confira se o Pacote de Festas de Fim de Ano está instalado. Se ainda não tiver feito isso, pode seguir as instruções em nossa postagem sobre carreiras http://www.thesims.com/pt_BR/news/ts4-newcareers, para desbloquear esse conteúdo novo.

Agora que o conteúdo de fim de ano está em seu jogo, vamos começar.

Na preparação para festas, gosto de deixar a casa do meu Sim com muito espaço para os convidados se misturarem. Começo reorganizando alguns dos móveis para criar espaços abertos, assim meus Sims podem tomar néctar e dançar a noite toda.


Depois, gosto de pesquisar as decorações de fim de ano e dar um toque festivo à casa do meu Sim. Entre meus itens favoritos, estão o Ornamento de Gramado de Boneco de Neve (que prefiro colocar dentro, em vez de fora de casa), a Coroa e, é claro, as Luzes de Natal!



Agora que a casa está pronta para o fim de ano, mal posso esperar para mostrá-la para os amigos e parentes. Antes de começarmos a planejar nossa festa, quero arrumar a casa e deixar meu Sim pronto. Cuido para que ele tome uma ducha e tire a sujeira, deixo-o com o humor certo e (é claro) visto-o com o suéter de fim de ano mais feio do guarda-roupa!

Agora vamos planejar uma festa de fim de ano, convidando alguns Sims para curtir.

(Dica: ao planejar, não se esqueça de levar em conta os expedientes de trabalho do seu Sim. Você não vai querer começar a maior festa do ano e ter que sair dela no meio, porque tem que ir trabalhar!)

Para Planejar um Evento Social, clique no celular do seu Sim (é o ícone na parte inferior esquerda da tela) e escolha "Planejar um Evento Social".

Na lista de todas as atividades diferentes, vou escolher "Festa em Casa", ela é um pouco mais informal e animada. Vai criar um clima ótimo.

Clique no botão "Avançar" para seguir para a lista de convidados.

Comece escolhendo um Anfitrião para o evento. Geralmente, escolho meu próprio Sim.

Daí, você pode escolher os Sims que serão convidados. Amigos, parentes, pessoas amadas, quem virá?

Este Evento Social em particular também dá a opção de convidar ou contratar um Artista, Mixólogo ou Provedor de Bufê.

Mas para uma festa de fim de ano, não preciso de um Artista. Prefiro fazer meu Sim tocar músicas de fim de ano festivas, no aparelho de Sim.

Mas quero convidar um Mixólogo para cuidar do bar e um Provedor de Bufê para fornecer os quitutes. Isso deve deixar meu Sim um pouco mais livre, para que ele possa se socializar com os convidados e se divertir.

Aumente o som e deixe as músicas de fim de ano tocando, para criar o clima da festa.

Agora é hora da festa começar! Logo seus convidados irão chegar.

Durante um Evento Social, seus Sims podem atingir objetivos que desbloqueiam recompensas por deixar a festa melhor.

Para o Evento Social Festa em Casa, os objetivos do meu Sim são:

·   Anfitrião. Socializar-se com Convidados
·   Tomar Bebidas (sim, por favor!)
·   Contar Piadas
·   Ouvir Música

É melhor eu começar a curtir a festa para atingir todos esses objetivos!

Saúde!

Hoje foi dia de atualização em The Sims 4, além das 2 novas carreiras e da volta do chat "Moveobjects" que estávamos esperando surgiram milhares de novidades.
Depois da atualização o pessoal do SimsDomination foram mexer nos arquivos internos do jogo e encontraram várias informações sobre um Pacote de Jogo(Um Pacote de Jogo oferece novos recursos de jogo, objetos novos e roupas novas com base em um tema central) o "The Sims 4 Retiro ao Ar Livre", e pelas informações encontradas ela seria um PACOTE DE JOGO PAGO, ou seja terá que mexer em seu bolso se quiser-lá.


                    CAPA OFICIAL:
Descrição:
Leve seus Sims para acampar e explorar o destino inédito de Granite Falls em The Sims 4 Retiro ao Ar Livre!

- Aventure-se em um destino inédito;

Im a little bit busy this week, so for the sake of tight deadlines, were tackling another Greg Hassett adventure for the TRS-80 -- Journey to the Center of the Earth, published in 1978, which I believe is his second published game after Enchanted Island.  No publisher is credited, but its likely this one was released by Mad Hatter Software or Hassetts own Adventure World; it was also published in type-in form in 1981, in Bob Liddils Captain 80 Book of BASIC Adventures, and also appeared on the Commodore 64 a few years later.


Hassetts style was still developing -- he was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time -- and so we see that spelling and grammar are again an issue, and the map is rather loosely and randomly constructed.  If we die, the program just ends; theres no opportunity to retry.  And the BASIC-language parser is surprisingly fast, but limited -- for instance, INV and INVENT dont work, we must spell out INVENTORY, and some words are very situation-specific, requiring a fair amount of guessing.  The name borrows from Jules Vernes classic novel, but like Hassetts later The House of Seven Gables, the game is a treasure hunt that borrows the basic concept but otherwise bears no substantial resemblance to the book.



I always urge interested readers to try these games out before proceeding here; Journey to the Center of the Earth is not a particularly difficult game to finish, though the map is fairly large and its not always obvious which items are score-worthy treasures and which are just items.  As usual, I will be giving away most of the puzzle and plot details as I encountered them, so as you proceed beyond this point, be advised there are...

***** SPOILERS AHEAD! *****

The game begins by prompting "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"  -- I went with GUYBRUSH -- but I never saw the game make use of this information; it seems to be an unfinished idea, and does not appear in Hassetts other games.  I can only speculate that this is here to confuse the player with a later "WHO GOES THERE?" puzzle -- our entry here is not useful as a password.





We begin in a ship with nothing in inventory, apparently arriving at the center of the Earth rather woefully undersupplied.  This adventure wont be too serious in tone, as the ships computer screen reads: SHIP WILL NOT FUNCTION -- FRIBULATING GONKULATOR IS BURNED OUT.  So presumably we will to have to get it refribulated so it can gonkulate, or gonkulate it for the sake of fribulation.

North of the ship, we suddenly find ourselves in a COBBLESTONE HALLWAY, with a chirping that reportedly SOUNDS LIKE BUGS.  Further north is a room with rubies in its walls, and theres a LARGE RUBY we can take.   But GADZOOKS!!! A GAINT [sic] BUG JUST WALKED IN TO KILL ME!  Hassetts early games never felt bad about telegraphing a creatures intentions... and whoops, maybe Im misunderstanding and thats not a misspelling, as shortly IM BEING DEVOURED BY A GAINT BUG!!  And then IM DYING...DYING...DEAD, in rather an overdramatic (not to say impossibly uttered) manner.

So we dont want to run into any Gaint Bugs, at least not yet.  But they show up randomly, and all over the place, so were going to have to figure out a solution before too long.

Over to the west is A ROOM WITH MANY ANIMALS... until WAIT! THEYVE ALL RAN [sic] AWAY.  All that remains is A PARROT IN A CAGE.  We cant GET CAGE or OPEN CAGE, as its not a recognized noun, but we can GET PARROT and the cage comes along.

South of the ship is a DUSTY PLACE containing A SET OF KEYS.  Past this, as the topography becomes increasingly random, we find A HUGE ICE CAVERN, leading to A ROOM WITH TRACES OF SLIME ON THE FLOORS AND WALLS.

The slime room leads to ALS DINER, apparently of unlicensed Happy Days fame, where theres a COKE MACHINE, joyfully and explicitly unlicensed with an ENJOY COCA-COLA banner.  Presumably we will need a quarter to avail ourselves of its carbonated bounty.  Theres also some FOOD here.  I never found a need to eat or drink in-game, though the game will let us imbibe and consume these, or try to feed various creatures.


South of the slime room is the source of the slime - the HYDRA ROOM, occupied by a nine-headed hydra.  It blocks our way south and west, but we can explore a TORTURE CHAMBER to the east (where THERE IS [sic] SOME HUMAN SKELETONS and a giant bug asleep.)  Trying to KILL BUG indicates that I CANT KILL ANYTHING. IM TOO WEAK. BUT MAYBE IF YOU WERE A BIT MORE SPECIFIC... though this actually a lie, as the game will let us KILL things in the right context.

The HUGE PIT west of the slime room contains a quarter and a cigarette lighter.  We cant BUY COKE, but we can INSERT QUARTER to get a bottle back at Als Diner.  We cant SHAKE COKE or SPRAY COKE or even OPEN COKE, so thats not going to be a novel attack.


A SMALL ROOM west of our starting point contains a GOLD NUGGET, and a scribbling reading HAR HAR HAR! YOULL NEVER MAKE IT! >> ARBADAC ARBA.  A 35,000 CARAT DIAMOND (could a human being actually lift that? We can carry it, anyway) lies in a low crawl space south of this room, and going east from that room leads into the traditional MAZE OF TWISTY LITTLE PASSAGES a la the classic Colossal Cave Adventure.  The maze contains a MAGIC WAND.


One exit from the maze leads back to the ruby room -- and with no giant bug about at the moment, we can go north to find ourselves IN A DARK ROOM.  And I THINK I HEAR GRUNTS AND GROANS NEARBY.  Ahem... I never found out what this was referring to, and thats probably a good thing.  East of this area is another maze.

North of the dark room is the SOUTH SIDE OF A CHASM, and a SHINY SWORD, with molten lava below.   The game keeps us from walking blithely into the molten lava, but we will probably want to find a way across.

We seem to score 10 or 15 points per treasure, out of a maximum of 175, but they do vary.  We have to drop them in the ship to earn points, otherwise we remain at 0 with a BOY, YOU STINK! assessment from Mr. Hassett.

Hassetts mazes are usually pretty straightforward -- each room generally has multiple exits that lead back to the same place, with one that goes to a new area and one (usually) that goes back to a previous one, so they are not hard to map using the traditional item-drop method.

The "secret passage" maze leads to THE TROLLS PALACE, with gold bars and a diamond necklace. With 5 treasures claimed, I have 80 of 175 points.  I am hoping the sword will help deal with the hydra or any giant bugs I encounter, but in a dark room where THERE ARE GIANT [sc!] BUGS ALL AROUND ME! we still cant KILL them, though at least we can just exit the room without being harassed or killed.

Ah, yes, when a giant bug arrives specifically to kill us, we can use the sword to KILL BUG -- DING! DONG! THE BUG IS DEAD, THE BUG IS DEAD!!!  Several of the authors works contained Wizard of Oz references.

How can we cross the lava chasm?  POUR COKE and OPEN COKE and THROW BOTTLE dont do anything -- not that I should have realistically expected a cold soda to cool down molten lava.  But we can WAVE WAND to magically transport ourselves to the north side of the chasm.  It leads to a wooden platform and a sign warning us about the rickety wooden bridge, but we can ignore the sign and travel to the TROLLS PLACE. (Which turns out -- [sic] -- to be the Trolls Palace again, but by a different entrance and with more resistance from the resident troll, who throws an axe at us if we try to enter without dealing with him.)


The axe-throwing troll is another homage to the classic Crowther/Woods adventure, but his axe is consistently fatal, so we dont want this to happen.  We cant answer the Trolls "WHO DARES TO ENTER MY PALACE???", it seems, nor can we KILL TROLL or exit the room without being killed by his axe.  So is this a red herring?  Are we just supposed to get into the palace via the maze?

What about the hydra?  We can FEED HYDRA, which turns him into A GIANT HYDRA RUBBING HIS STOMACH, but he still wont let us past.  HELP is actually helpful here, suggesting CIGAR? CIGARETTE? TIPPARILLO [sic]?  We cant USE LIGHTER or LIGHT LIGHTER, but we can BURN HYDRA and THE HYDRA CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND DEAD.  With this surprisingly flammable creature dispatched, we can get an emerald from the CLAM ROOM and a MING VASE from the DRAGON ROOM.  Weve got 7 treasures and 105 points now.

Past the Dragon Room, we can get some silver bars in a MAMMOTH GARDEN.  The VELVET ROOM contains some tools (not described further and treated as a set).  Theres a TREASURE ROOM where MANY DWARVES GUARD SOME PRETTY SCRAWNY TREASURE thats not further described and cannot be obtained, and an ARABIAN ROOM with an oil slick, in a bit of 1970s pop culture xenostereotyping.  But we cant BURN SLICK, as oddly enough IT DOESNT BURN.

The oil slick is meant to be a hint leading us south to MACS EARTHDIGGER BODY SHOP, which contains a new fribulating gronkulator!  This is a little clearer now -- we are near the center of the earth because our "ship" is a digging contraption of some kind.  But we cant GET FRIBULATING GONKULATOR because the parser doesnt recognize any variant of it???  We have tools, so maybe we can FIX FROBULATING GONKULATOR... but I CANT.   Oh, wait, I have been mistyping, calling it a GRONKULATOR [mic] instead of a GONKULATOR!  We can GET GONKULATOR.

Now can we install it in the ship?  We cant REPLACE or INSTALL it; if we try to FIX it here, the parser says I THINK I HAVE TO DROP IT FIRST, but DROP GONKULATOR doesnt work?  Ack, I keep typing GRONKULATOR!

And as soon as we DROP and then FIX GONKULATOR, the game is over!?!  I am 5 points short, though, with 170 of the 175 points, so lets see what Ive missed.

Aha!  If we return to the dangerous TROLLS PALACE entrance with the parrot in hand, the parrot chants, "SIR ALEXANDER...SIR ALEXANDER!"  But SAY SIR ALEXANDER doesnt solve the problem?  A simple SIR ALEXANDER works, and THE TROLL SCURRIES AWAY IN FEAR without tossing an axe in our direction.  But this is just another way into the Trolls Palace, where we have already been, and we dont get any points for doing it. 

I had to look at the BASIC code to see that DROP PARROT at the climax counts as a 5-point treasure, earning us the rank of ADVENTURER GRANDMASTER:


Hooray!  Were the Adventurer Grandmaster of Adventurerdom!




Im getting close to exhausting Mr. Hassetts sizeable body of work, but there are still a couple of his games I havent tackled.  Well get around to them in due course, I am sure; somehow I missed the existence of his games back in the TRS-80 era, so Ive been enjoying discovering them, three decades later.

Its an unusually quiet week for consoles as the US Independence Day holiday approaches, though handhelds remain pretty active for gamers on the go...

WiiWare -- Nothing here this week, or on the Virtual Console.

DSiWare -- Two new games here... Flip the Core is a super-retro-styled 2D shooter, with a cube-flipping mechanic that thrusts the players ship into different environments whenever it rotates.  Escape the Virus: Swarm Survival is kind of a cross between Robotron: 2084 and those early videogames where the players snake gets longer the more the player eats.  Dont try that at home.

3DS eShop --  Two new games and two retail demos this week.  First up is Marvel Pinball 3D, which features a number of classic Marvel Comics characters and 4 distinct tables; its a quality effort from Zen Studios that might keep us busy while we continue to hope that Pinball Arcade makes it to the 3DS at some point.  Theres also Bomb Monkey, which looks like another match-three puzzle game but adds some fun new mechanics, primarily setting off the combos by dropping a bomb.  From a monkey!  And there are free downloadable demos of Rhythm Thief & The Emperors Treasure, and Kingdom Hearts 3D.  Nintendo is also launching a "Game of the Weekend" sale series, similar to sales on other platforms, so keep an eye out for deals.

XBox Live Arcade -- Same titles here as on the PS3 (below), although The Walking Dead episode 2 arrived on Wednesday instead of Friday.  Lucky XBLAers!

PS3 on PSN --  One new title, Jeremy McGraths Offroad, celebrates rough-and-tumble dirt track racing.  And the second episode of The Walking Dead will be out on Friday if all goes as planned.

PSOne Classics -- An unusual licensed title shows up here -- The Little Mermaid II, based on the Disney direct-to-video sequel.

Notable on Steam and Elsewhere --  The long-awaited second episode of Telltales The Walking Dead also hits the PC this Friday, barring any technical glitches.  And the even-longer-awaited (if not necessarily as eagerly) Penny Arcade Adventures series finally sees episode 3 after a three-year hiatus, with a new pixel-art style and a new publisher.

For those who are Actionscript-savvy, the "onEnterFrame" Event is a familiar term. It is in fact an elegant way of handling the animations in the game.

This post, is particularly a demo of how do i use the AS3 "onEnterFrame" to replace the class Timer (which is in the package flash.utils). You might think that this is redundant. But i really favor the way the "onEnterFrame" perform this with ease, while you can implement the other animations simultaneously.

Heres a snippet of the "onEnterFrame" function. What it does is that, the object is able to perform an animation A on each frame, while performing another animation B at an interval of one second (adjustable).


One thing to note is that, the data type of the timePassed has to be "Number", but not "integer". In the code, after passing 10 seconds, the enterframe event is removed.

The Great Bathroom Escape is a new point and click type escape the room game from Mateusz Skutnik who is also the creator of Submachine Series.

In this game, you are trapped in a bathroom and you need to escape by finding items and solving some puzzles.
Good Luck!
