However, what can make your life even easier is when a technology for developers is already integrated into popular and commonly used game engines. When planning to add AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution to your game, the FSR code on GPUOpen allows for easy implementation, whether it be in a custom engine or in any available commercial game engine. This boost can help you create next-generation gaming experiences that can support a wide range of hardware and deliver high framerates for as broad an audience of gamers as possible. With this release, you can also have a look behind the scenes as to how FSR works and see how easy it is to implement FSR into your game project to get a boost in performance. If you are a game developer, since the announcement on June 22, you’ve probably been counting the days until you can get access to FSR and integrate it into your game, and the time has now come! Starting today on GPUOpen, you can get access to the AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution source code for free under the open source MIT License, get FSR documentation, and download a new sample that shows off FSR and lets you view the different FSR modes and see how they impact image quality and performance. This will bring the total number of games available with support for FSR to 12, with more still to come! We can’t wait for you to check out how FSR supercharges your performance on a wide range of graphics cards, from integrated to ultra-enthusiast, both AMD and NVIDIA®. First up on July 16, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution updates are coming for Arcadegeddon, and Necromunda: Hired Gun - then in the next two weeks, Edge Of Eternity and Resident Evil Village will be updated with FSR support.

It has vast lore that Roguebook uses and expands on – so if you want to read more about that, check this one out – we also reviewed it (by another Nick). Before Roguebook, we had Faeria – a game in the same setting as Roguebook, a digital collectible card and turn-based strategy game that takes place on a dynamic playing board set in a fantasy universe. So, before we kick off this review – Roguebook is a sequel to another game. Would I join the Fellowship? Would I go to Hogwarts? Would I travel to unknown worlds aboard an exploration vessel? Roguebook gives you precisely that – but instead of a magical wonderland, you’re trapped in a world full of things that want to kill you-excited yet? Well, let’s give it a go! I often wondered what would happen if I was ‘sucked’ into the books I was reading. Although sometimes I do actually want to pursue the frogs.When I was younger, I read books like crazy – nowadays, I don’t give myself the time and patience to read that much, so I usually read the manga. Like, you don't play poker and think, 'I'm gonna bluff every third hand.' You have to adapt to what you're dealt, so when that gives me a strategy that's great. "In card games you often have to deal with what you're dealt and it's the person who gets the most out of that, rather than expecting to win or go in with the same strategy. "That's the hallmark more of a card player than a board game player," Garfield says. In the words of noted game designer Kenny Rogers, "The secret to survivin' is knowing what to throw away, and knowing what to keep." But it can also be fun to be spontaneous, to look at the hand you draw and improvise a solution to your immediate problem with whatever chance has given you. The skill becomes identifying the most outrageously broken combos and knowing how to efficiently wipe away everything else. (Image credit: Abrakam) Know when to hold 'emīeing able to react to what you're dealt is an important element of physical card games, but one their digital counterparts often minimize-encouraging lean decks that cycle through cards fast enough to guarantee you'll draw the combo you need. "I get plenty of choices where it's all cards that aren't really great, but some of them are more interesting and I have to play with them all, so it's how well I do with that. I hate that." It's why he enjoys playing Hearthstone in Arena mode, where you draft a deck out of random sets of three cards. Garfield says he has "a long-term dislike from the days of Magic" of making his deck better by getting rid of a card "that's really pretty cool, but I can't quite get value out of it. That's quite different to Slay the Spire, where trimming your deck is often the best choice-a reward for sensible, boring play. You're thinking on your feet, you're adapting to the situations more." I really like pushing people down that path because larger decks are less reliable and so I think you ought to be rewarded more for playing them. "One of my specific contributions was to get us thinking along this path of, 'Let's make it better to add cards to your deck in some way.' That led to this idea that the bigger your deck gets the more talents you get to unlock-it's not just diluting the quality of your deck. You might make the prices in shops 25 percent cheaper, or get the ability to heal a few points of health after each fight, or start fights with an ally in play who provides bonus mana (called spirit in Roguebook), and also does a couple of points of damage each turn. It's like leveling up, and you're given three options each time. The next noticeable difference in Roguebook is that you earn abilities for having more cards in your deck. "It's a low-hanging fruit as far as combos are concerned," Garfield says, "but getting my frog on is always fun." It sounds kind of like the degenerate decks that were possible in the early days of Magic: The Gathering, and may well be nerfed before release. It's a little like going for a poison deck or something like that." There are also synergies with cards that give additional bonuses if you have allies in play, or let you add more frogs, up their damage, and slow the rate they're removed. "They're a follower that you can have stacked, so you can have 12 frogs for example, then they'll do 12 damage and their number will be reduced by one. "The turtle hero can generate frogs," he explains. Garfield says he's partial to having the turtle hero, Aurora, in his team.

Honestly, it was nice to see a woman running a technology company instead of a dad who was a total dick or some college frat boy who made an app to rank women and was later heralded in a movie about himself that shares that exact same storyline ( sexism included) as Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Baseketball.
