InSomnia Prologue Chapter Released, Developers Return To Kickstarter (Press Release)
SAMARA, Russia – April 27, 2016 - Today InSomnia, a dystopian dieselpunk RPG, from indie developer Studio MONO, has returned to Kickstarter to secure the funds required to complete the game.
"It was no easy decision to return to Kickstarter. After evaluating the progress made on the project, thanks to the funds from our previous Kickstarter campaign and the over £100,000 we've spent out of our own pockets, we've got to a point where we need additional funding. The money's for one final push to take the game past the current Prologue Chapter we have released to the public." said Anatoliy Guyduk, lead developer at Studio MONO.
"We switched from Ogre 3D to UE4, and are thrilled with the improvements in both the visuals and the performance of the game. The Prologue Chapter, which is up to four hours long - depending on how much you explore and do, will show you how passionate we all are for InSomnia. We hope that you'll support us in our dieselpunk inspired journey, one last time!"
InSomnia is dystopian vision, set in a murky, retro-futuristic style. The game takes place on a colossal, semi-deserted interplanetary space station. Having left their dying planet behind, this space metropolis, along with its inhabitants, has been moving towards the distant, ghost-like Evacuation Point for the past 400 years, where the descendants of the once great people hope to start over the history of mankind.
Game Features
•Multi-layered role playing game
•Dark retro-futuristic setting
•Hardcore gameplay
•Non-linear story
•Colossal space metropolis to explore
•Realistic combat system

Synergy 88 Studios Acquires State-Of-The-Art Motion Capture System (Press Release)
AUG. 27, 2015 - MANILA, PHILIPPINES. Synergy 88 Digital Inc., the country's leading animation and game development studio recently announced its acquisition of the OptiTrack Prime 41 motion capture system, easily at par with high-end systems currently being used by Hollywood film makers and also by the world's leading game developers.
Motion Capture, or "MoCap" for short, is a system composed of hardware and software to record human actors' movements and using that information to animate a character to a 3D representation in the final application such as video/film or for a game. In a motion capture session, movements of the actor are captured by multiple cameras from many angles to calculate 3D positions. This animation data is then mapped to a 3D model so that the model on the computer screen performs the exact, same actions as the actor. Film-makers have used this same technology on movies such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and for games such as the popular NBA 2K series published by 2K Sports.
The OptiTrack Prime 41 system is the world's largest volume motion capture camera. It features exceptional precision capture, a 100' tracking range, and huge capture volumes. Offering 4.1MP of the most intelligently processed pixels in the industry, it delivers pixel for pixel performance that outclasses all other motion capture cameras in its field. The hardware and software system has 16 high-definition cameras and also boasts of outdoor motion capture without the need for a full motion capture suit.
The OptiTrack Prime 41 is the Philippines’ first high-end motion capture system and Synergy 88 Digital is the first digital and animation studio to offer state-of-the-art motion capture services for various applications such as films and games.
World renowned studios such as Activision, EA, Microsoft, Capcom, Crytek and Ubisoft are currently using similar OptiTrack systems for recent and current projects. For instance, Microsoft used OptiTrackfor the motion capture requirements of its upcoming release, Halo 5.
Alvin Juban, Director of Business Development for Synergy 88 Studios and also the President and Chairman of the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP) said that "With this system we just 'Leveled Up' the entire animation and game industry in the country. Now we can cater to higher requirements from the private sector, the local movie industry and even for education purposes. Apart from servicing our current and future clients, we can use this system to train local animators to use world-class hardware and software. The Philippines has a vast pool of talent and we just need the right equipment to push them to the next level."
To make all the 3D magic work, Synergy 88 Studios earmarked approximately a 300 sqm property just for the motion capture system at their Quezon City corporate center.
For those who wish to see the OptiTrack Prime 41 system in action, Synergy 88 Studios will have a demo booth at the Asia Pop ComiCon Manila event at the World Trade Center, on September 17 to 20, 2015.

Assault Fire → Tank Battle, Search & Destroy, TDM & More
Tank Battle
In my most recent game of Assault Fire, I had the chance of playing the Tank Battle Mode. It was my first time playing Tank Battle and it was awesome.
Targeting was kinda tricky. For example, I had the enemy tank on target but I would sometimes miss because my attack was short or out of range.
Moving the tank was also kinda tricky because the body of the tank turns differently from the main gun. The main gun turns by moving the mouse but the tank turns by press the A or D keys.
Search & Destroy
This game mode is very similar to Counter-Strike. It even has a map that looks exactly like one of the popular DUST maps.
TDM
TDM means Team Deathmatch and this is a very common match found in almost all multiplayer online first-person shooters.
Khan Online → Grinding For Ki
Grinding For Ki
Ki is very important in Khan Online. It's actually more important than experience points or Exp because Ki is used to increase character stats.
Since Khan Online doesn't really have any quest except for the one in Wroclaw, grinding for Ki and Exp is just one of the few things I can do as a player in the game.
Also, it's called grinding because it's literally is a grind. Khan Online is a very grind heavy MMORPG. If you are not into grinding and if you find grinding boring and not fun then you will not enjoy playing Khan Online.
Recently, I spent an hour killing Bug Bears, Carons, Broos and other monsters in Wroclaw but I still wasn't able to raise my character's level from 48 to 49.

Andarasa Online → Kill 15 Goblin Captains, Tab Targeting & More
Kill 15 Goblin Captains
The last quest my character did before I ended the recording. It was not a difficult quest. In fact, it ended quickly because I was using my characters one and only skill to dispatch the Goblin Captains.
My character also had over 90 red potions. Even if the Goblin Captains gang-up on him, the chance that he would die or get killed was very slim or none at all.
Tab Targeting
Targeting a monster can be done by simply clicking on the monster and attacking it but, sometimes, clicking to target a monster doesn't work because of lag or other factors.
If click targeting is difficult then tab targeting is a good alternative. I just press the Tab key and my character targets the monsters nearest him.
Andarasa Online → Daynard, Squirrel, Accorn & More
Daynard
Elfym told my character to talk to Daynard. Daynard is like a mage or something. A sorcerer? It doesn't matter. He is a Non-Player Character and my character had to talk to him.
Squirrel
For some unknown reason, Daynard turned my character into a squirrel. He said it was a mistake but was it really a mistake or was he simply abusing his magically powers? I honestly don't have any answer to that question. LOL.
Accorn
To change my character back to normal, Daynard ordered my character to get one accord from a tree outside of the city or town. I don't if the quest was important or not but my character had no choice but to do it. If not then he'll be stuck as a squirrel forever.

Andarasa Online → Elfym's Favor, Yukiyuki, Goblin Fighter Axe & More
Elfym's Favor
Elfym is a Non-Player Character and she is an elf. I don't really know what she is. She looks like an elf and she looks like a girl. I could be wrong.
The favor was to get a Goblin Fighter's Axe from a Goblin Fighter. Of course, my character had to kill a few Goblin Fighters before he got a Goblin Fighter's Axe.
Yukiyuki
Elfym asked my character to play Rock, Paper and Scissors with Yukiyuki because it was bored. I didn't understand the purpose of the quest or mission but I still did it and won in my second try.
Andarasa Online → Follow The Arrow, Goblin Fighters, Auto-Pathing & More
Follow The Arrow
Navigating the game world is very easy. Besides having an Auto-Pathing feature, the game also has a guide arrow that points to Quest Objectives.
I first encountered this Guide Arrow in the very beginning of the game. It's bright and it works.
Goblin Fighters
The entire town or city is surrounded by hordes and hordes of Goblins. One of the quest or mission my character did was to kill at least 5 Goblin Fighters.
It was not a very difficult quest but I did some difficulty because I wasn't using my one and only skill at that time.
Auto-Pathing
The Guide Arrow is awesome but the Auto-Pathing feature is a whole new level of ease. I'm not a fan of this feature but I will use it if it's available and, in this game, it's available.
