![]() I take breaks from games with a good book, usually fantasy and occasionally sci-fi. When I am not making games, I am playing one of the 450+ games I have in my Steam library, PS4, Xbox One, or PC. Most recently I worked on the platform running Wargaming's "World of" games and other titles they are developing. ![]() Since then I have worked on Club Penguin, Deer Hunter 20, Amazing Battle Creatures, and several other mobile titles. That hobby turned into my first job in game development about 10 years ago. Instead of a direct route I jumped into business software development and created games as a hobby. I've wanted to make games since the first game I ever played which was Space Invaders on my aunt's old Atari 2600. As she just joined the studio, it's customary to do a brief introduction. Wire frames for describing the chat functionality.Ī couple early prototypes of the chat dialog showing proximity fading and message types.Īnd speaking of Brizanda. If you'd like more information about how our chat system is intended to work, make sure to check out Vye's recent Design Journal: Communication. To that end, our newest engineer, Brizanda, has been given the task in 0.3.0 to get our proximity chat system up and running. With the release of the Vo圎lyria client it's also imperative that our players be able to interact with one another in some way or form inside of Vo圎lyria. The Quest for ConversationĪ MEOW (Multiplayer Evolving Online World) isn't a MEOW without a heavy emphasis on proximity chat. But with that summary out of the way, let's take a deeper look into what we'll be doing in 0.3.0. With 0.3.0 being the last release before Chronicles of Elyria is released to the Alpha 1 backers (in the form of the Vo圎lyria client), a lot of the focus of 0.3.0 is on performance, stabilization, scalability, and prep work for the impending invasion of the players onto the Elyrian servers.Įven still, the design and content teams are hard at work on the creation of new systems and new assets as a follow-up to the work we did in 0.2.5 on Equipment, and the work we'll be doing in 0.4.0 on crafting. With 0.2.5 done it's time to move on to 0.3.0, and this past Monday the team and I got together to review and plan for the upcoming sprint. Yesterday you got a chance to see how release 0.2.5 turned out in Vye's adventure wrap-up blog post "Adventure Completion: Sense of Identity." If you haven't checked that out yet I highly recommend it. ![]() Removes one random beneficial ward from a target.Ĭonjures a magical eagle-like creature as a projectile that assaults a target with its talons. If Mysticism and Focus or Imbuing (whichever is greater) are over 80 the weapon is temporarily granted Spell Channeling. Temporarily imbues a held weapon with a hit spell effect. 63 - 80 - Cast Cleansing Winds on yourselfĬonjures a healing stone, usable only by the Mystic.Ĭonjures a bolt of nether energy to assault a target with chaos damage.0 - 40 - Train at Mystic vendor in Ter Mur.Other desirable properties include high Lower Mana Cost, Mana Regeneration, 2 Faster Casting and 6 Faster Cast Recovery. It is best to train wearing a 100% Lower Reagent Cost suit. Those skilled in Mysticism are known as Mystics. Mysticism as Magery requires the Spell Channeling property to handle weapons or shields for all of its spells with the exception of the spell Enchant (which adds by spell casting Spell Channeling to the weapon). Spells of the Eighth Rank require great measures of both skill and mana, while spells of the First Rank are much easier and require less energy. The deeper you go, the more mana (magical energy) each spell requires you to expend. The more powerful a spell you wish to cast, the deeper into the inner circles of ether you must penetrate. These eight concentric ranks correspond to vortices within the ether, all spinning one within another as they expand through the universe. Similar to Magery, Mysticism consists of 16 spells and eight ranks that signify their power and the magic ability required to cast them. Gargoyles have mastered the art of magic called Mysticism. Humans and Gargoyles worked together from a common source of magic, and the Gargoyles went on to refine their arcane arts to deal with the cataclysms destroying their world. Evaluate Intelligence once augmented as well, but was swapped for Focus with Publish 64 in February 2010. Similar to Spellweaving and Necromancy, Mysticism has its own unique set of magic spells cast from a Spellbook.īattle Focus and Imbuing augment the power of certain Mysticism spells. It was added with the Stygian Abyss expansion and may be learned by all races, not just gargoyles. Resisting Spells: determines how much cursing spells effect the player.Mysticism is a body of magic first used by the Gargoyle Race.Inscription: how great the success rate of scribing scrolls into the spellbook is.Meditation: determines the rate of mana regeneration.Evaluate Intelligence: increases the damage of offensive spells (otherwise they never go over 10 damage).Best spell to train with: Which spell to cast to reach this level (the spell is always in the level below).Īlso, besides magery, four other skills are important for the aspiring mage:.Minimum INT: The minimum Intelligence needed for this circle.Maximum Skill: Skill level that always ensures 100% success (the last towo circles never have 100% success).Minimum Skill: Minimum skill to cast in this circle, however, only gives a measly 1% success chance.In the table, the entries have the following meaning: More about that below.įor the spells of Magery, see: Ultima Online Magery Spells. There are four more skills that a good mage needs. It is the central skill for magic, but not the only important one. The skill could also be called "casting", as it determines the chance of successfully casting the spell in question. Without it, even the biggest mana pool is useless. Magery in Ultima Online is basically the ability to cast magic. ![]() Now, select the Gradient tool at the left of the Photoshop screen. You can also change which image you want to use for the overlying image by clicking it and moving it up or down after unlocking whichever image was set as the default background by Photoshop. You now have a transparent Layer Mask between your two pictures. It vaguely looks like a little camera icon (with a hollow circle in the middle of it).Ĭlick on it and you’ll see a white Layer Mask square form next to your layer image icon in the layers panel. You can do this by moving down to the layer mask button at the bottom of the layers panel where your two image layers are listed on the lower right of the screen. Step 3: Now you have two layers in the same image tab and it’s time to add the Layer Mask. Holding down the left mouse button and the shift key while dragging, move it over the image that will be your background and then release. To make your photos merge, all you need to do is click the Move tool on the left icon menu, and click the image you want as the overlay. Step 2: Now that you’ve opened up both images, you’ll see their respective tabs along the top of your Photoshop window. It’s important that both images have the same size and that they both use the same color space option. Step 1: Select a background image and a top layer image that you want to merge together. If you fill part of an overlying layer with white, it will remain visible, and if you fill it with black, it will be concealed to show the background imageīasically, you can use masks to hide and show parts of both superimposed images very selectively. This is done by using black and white gradients. Layer Masks basically control the transparency of a layer, but with one very useful twist: instead of a whole layer being given a certain level of transparency, the Layer Masks method lets you apply it at different levels across different parts of an overlaying (layered) image. ![]() You can actually do a ton of stuff with Layer Mask, and to cover all of it would mean a whole separate tutorial just for this specific method, so here we’ll focus on the essentials for understanding this process easily. With the other two techniques we’re going to cover below, this last trick isn’t quite as easy. It also comes with the benefit of letting you manipulate exactly how and where two images blend together. This is probably the most versatile and popular method of merging two images in Photoshop. To start things off, let’s look at Layer Mask. (You can also record the steps to make an Action like these.)Īlso note that the following techniques have been arranged in order of difficulty from more complex (and powerful) down to the simplest, though the basic photo joining steps described in Method 1 (Layer Masks) apply to all three photo merging options.Īlternatively, if you don’t have the time or inclination to use Photoshop on your desktop, there are also phone app options available for both Android and iPhone that allow you to do a quick creative blending of two photos. We actually explain how to do a basic version of this for methods 2 and 3 below. It’s also possible to combine two or more of the options below together to create a more complex photo composition. Some of these will fit your specific needs better than others, so experiment a bit and see what works best for the final creative result you want. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to merge two images in Photoshop, this guide will show you three fairly simple and fundamental techniques you can use to combine images creatively.Īs with most tasks in Adobe Photoshop, there are several ways to achieve the same outcome. ![]() Dominate across new maps and take down rivals as a team or face off 1v1 for glory.

On the last morning of our stay, we sat around the kitchen table sipping on coffee and chatting with Chrissy and Kyle about life, in particular how Spark Box came to be, what they've learned about owning a business, and how their interest in sustainability and protecting nature transcend into their art practice and business in general. ![]() I spent my time reading, writing, shooting photos, and trying to unplug from the day-to-day.
