Infinity Nikki Preview - A Promising Dress Rehearsal - Game Informer

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/infinity-nikki-preview-a-promising-dress-rehearsal-game-informer/

Infinity Nikki Preview - A Promising Dress Rehearsal - Game Informer

Infinity Nikki’s big PlayStation State of Play spotlight in May garnered an array of reactions. Fans of the popular Nikki series of mobile fashion games were excited to see the pink-haired fashionista make her triple-A debut. Unfamiliar viewers either dismissed it as an overly whimsical dress-up game or found themselves unexpectedly intrigued by its delightful and unique spin on an open-world experience. I count myself in that third camp. Something about the game’s premise stuck with me, but after playing several hours of a beta version, I’ve gone from admiring Infinity Nikki conceptually to being genuinely excited to wear the full experience. 

The adventure sees the titular Nikki and her furry best pal, Momo, preparing for a ball only to be unwillingly transported to the magical world of Miraland. A god-like being named Ena the Curator tells Nikki she’s been chosen to find and restore the Miracle Outfits, a collection of magical and powerful dresses, to uncover a divine truth. Along the way, Nikki also learns that she’s a Stylist. These are special people with the ability to find and create outfits anytime, anywhere. 

I begin the game with three Ability Dresses, special outfits bestowing a unique power. One is the blue dress/blonde hair ensemble seen in the State of Play trailer that allows me to perform a floating jump Princess Peach style. Not only is this good for crossing large gaps or bounding between rooftops, but Nikki can also perform a plummeting slam to defeat enemies or shatter fragile objects. A Purification dress is used for combat, letting Nikki fire orbs of cleansing energy to purify (not kill) demonically corrupted enemies called Esselings and collectibles. One cute dress lets Nikki groom certain animals to collect materials from them. Primary abilities like floating and purification are mapped to buttons while specialized dresses like the grooming or a bug-catching dress I unlock later can be activated via a selection wheel.

Based on the beta slice, Miraland is vast and inviting, thanks to colorful and lush flower fields, rolling hills, and the quaint village of Florawish. Infinity Nikki looks as pretty as her wardrobe. There’s plenty to do and explore, whether it’s completing side quests or, the main hook, hunting for Whimstars. These special stars are used to unlock new items and perks from a skill tree and are scattered everywhere. While some can merely be found (with help from Momo’s special vision that can highlight and tag distant Whimstars), others have small challenges tied to them. Examples include defeating enemies or searching for hidden gold stars, such as an ornament atop an umbrella. You can also gain Whimstars by entering special portals that warp players to platforming/puzzle challenge rooms reminiscent of shrines from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, albeit simpler. I like gathering Whimstars as it captures the familiar joy of collecting stars in a 3D Mario game. 

Whimstars are spent unlocking new outfits and other items in a skill tree called the Heart of Infinity. However, this only makes the outfit available to be crafted – you still have to make it yourself. While exploring Miraland, you’ll gather materials like various fruits, flowers, threads, furs, and more to craft a desired ensemble, consisting of parts like hairstyles, upper and lower body wear, make-up, and accessories. Sketches for outfits can be found or earned by completing quests and other activities. 

The more outfit sketches you find and unlock, the higher your level as a Stylist rises. Early on, Nikki joins the Stylist Guild in Florawish. Here, she receives a tablet-like device called a Pear-Pal that keeps track of a litany of goals, such as defeating a quota of enemies or taking photos with an in-game camera. Completing goals raises your rank, which rewards money and materials to unlock more outfits. This should appeal to objective-oriented players, as there’s no shortage of meters to fill. With main story and side quests, Stylist Rank, and daily challenges, Infinity Nikki constantly tracks and rewards all aspects of play in a manner similar to games like Genshin Impact. 

Checking a box usually means getting new crafting materials or outfit sketches. This is an effective hook, as the Nikki series’ Bread and Butter is dressing up the heroine with a staggering collection of clothing options. You can outfit Nikki however you wish, regardless of any abilities tied to outfit pieces. If you really dig the bug-catching dress and want Nikki to rock that look 24/7, you can do that. With so many apparel options, players will likely spend a lot of time making Nikki look as girly, regal, or edgy as they see fit. 

Outside of roaming the scenic open world and collecting stars and materials, a main story quest adds some meaty narrative intrigue. Cutscenes are nicely rendered and have solid comedic writing at times. Characters like a talking dragon-like poet or moments like watching a girl riding a giant origami paper plane crash into and level a building add an oddball charm to the perpetually saccharine vibe. 

Infinity Nikki is chock full of charm at every turn. Even manipulating the world’s day/night cycle involves playing a cute Flappy Bird-esque minigame. Every corner aims to make you smile while completing myriad objectives, and earning new outfits provide effective dopamine hits. While I enjoy basking in Infinity Nikki’s cozy atmosphere, its cinematic teases of a grander mystery intrigued me even more. I still have little idea what to make of this world and how it works, but I want to learn more, and several lore books and other notes suggest what could be unexpectedly deep world-building. The game also features a multiplayer component, but it was not available in the beta, and developer Infold Games isn’t ready to discuss it yet. 

Most of all, having an open-world game that doesn’t feature overt violence is refreshing. I wouldn’t consider any obstacle I’ve encountered thus far to be challenging, but there’s an allure to just being in this world that’s hard to deny – everything is just so darn pleasant. I’ve got my outfit picked out, so hopefully, Infinity Nikki’s release won’t leave us waiting too much longer. 

Infinity Nikki is coming to PlayStation 5, PC, iOS, and Android. A closed PC public beta is now available for select registered players.

Highlight the challenges that game developers face when creating hyper casual games. 

Creating hyper casual games comes with its own set of challenges for game developers. Here are some key challenges they might face:

Hyper casual games are known for their simple mechanics, but it’s a challenge to strike the right balance. Developers must create a game that is easy to understand and play, yet engaging enough to keep players interested.

Finding the right monetization strategy can be tricky. Hyper casual games often rely on ad-based revenue models, but developers need to implement ads in a way that doesn’t disrupt the user experience or drive players away.

Players in hyper casual games tend to have short attention spans. Retaining player interest beyond the initial download can be difficult. Developers must create content that keeps players coming back or encourages them to share the game with others.

The hyper casual gaming market is highly saturated. With a low barrier to entry, numerous games are constantly being released. Standing out in such a competitive environment requires unique and compelling game concepts.

Compared to more complex games, hyper casual games might have limited options for in-app purchases or other monetization strategies. Developers need to be creative in finding ways to generate revenue without hindering the game’s simplicity.

Hyper casual games often require rapid development cycles to keep up with trends and player preferences. This can be challenging for development teams, as they need to create quality games in a short amount of time.

Staying on top of industry trends is crucial. Developers must be quick to adapt their game concepts to align with current market preferences and player expectations.

Acquiring users in a cost-effective manner is a challenge. With a multitude of hyper casual games available, getting noticed and attracting players without spending exorbitant amounts on marketing can be difficult.

Integrating ads seamlessly into the gameplay experience is crucial for player retention. Striking the right balance between showing ads to generate revenue and not annoying players is a delicate task.

Hyper casual game players often lack brand loyalty and may switch to a different game quickly. Developers need to continuously engage their player base and adapt their games to retain interest.

Successfully navigating these challenges requires a deep understanding of the target audience, constant innovation, and the ability to iterate quickly based on user feedback and market trends.

[snoozykazoo]

we're on tumblr again yay✨

Hey everyone! And welcome to Snoozy Kazoo's first ✨TUMBLR DEVPOST!!✨ We'll be releasing these every month from now on as a way to keep everyone updated on Snoozy Kazoo news!

If you're new here, hi! We’re Snoozy Kazoo, a game dev studio of six guys who make dumb, silly, and fun games. You might know us from the games Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, available HERE and HERE!

Let's get caught up! In this issue we're covering a new mobile release, anniversaries, and... our NEW GAME? 😳😳😳

What's Snoozy been up to?

Ok I know what I said earlier, but let’s be honest: if you’ve stumbled deep into the mines enough to find your way here, you’re surely familiar with our beloved Turnip Boy. We just passed by his anniversary of robbing a bank on January 18th! Aww! They grow up so fast… But it’s a good thing he’s not robbing banks anymore, that’s a crime, you kn-

Aw crud he's doing it on your phone now

Snaps my fingers disappointingly. Aw man. Yerrrrp. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is now on iOS and Android devices near you. His mindless yet fervent desire to wreck crime upon the world seems insatiable. It’s really unfortunate, except for the fact that it’s honestly really fun watching him go at it.

The game is available TODAY on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store! Re-experience the game or force your friends to — its fun either way!

Ahhh the beloved Turnip Boy. Surely your next game will be about him right?

Heehee nope!

Excitingly, in November, we announced our next game: Hobnobbers! A co-op mall-looter where you rob malls for your goddess!

If you haven’t already wishlisted the game yet, well… go wishlist it! Go make your friends wishlist it! Wishlist wishlist wishlist! It really helps us beat the Algorithm Overlords, so literally every single wishlist counts!

I already know about your little crow-gnome mall-looting game you do not shut up about it. What else is new?

We also released a new devlog over on our YouTube! We’ll be releasing one of these every few months, so make sure to subscribe!

In it, we’ve covered the game’s conception till its early development, which means a lot of concept art. Honestly, let’s toss a little bit more of it over here; it’s always exciting to see behind the curtain!

Now get ready for... 🥁🥁🥁

Woah! What’s this little place? Perhaps the chance to get to meet different members of the team and bombard them with questions to foster a parasocial relationship with them? No way!

Introducing… Alexis! Our Unreal Developer!

What are you most excited for in Hobnobbers?

I’m very excited for a lot of different technical aspects and seeing people’s reaction to the game! I want to see all of the systems come together to create a perfect storm of chaos. The randomly generated map ontop the hexes system, with events like Money Storms, Floods, and Fairy Circles of Doom, is going to make each run completely unique and you’ll never know what kind of madness you’re getting into! On launch day I intend to be hopping into games with people (and fixing any bugs that crop up).

What’s something you’ve worked on in Hobnobbers recently that you’ve found particularly frustrating?

The level generation for the mall has been a particular nightmare, but in a very fun way. The mall is generated from bottom-to-top and each floor tells the floor above it about the different combinations of rooms that it can generate. This allows us to have those iconic vertical levels that overlap eachother with walkways above the floors below! This has required a lot of tuning in both making the parts that generate, and how to place them to get results that are always interesting (without bugs). Not only do we have to generate each floor, we also have to generate each store! Accounting for the size and placement of these is a constant challenge when making segments but I made a blender template that speeds it up quite a lot.

What pitch did you end up bringing to the pitch competition?

My pitch was a game about a vampire who was ousted from their castle by another vampire, and is trying to take it back. You would have to sneak back in through various pathways that challenge you in different ways, some would require parkour skills, others would require puzzle solving. And while you’re doing all of this, the AI learns and adapts to your behavior setting traps or blocking off paths in a constant game of cat and mouse. I am still extremely passionate about this idea, and fully intend to pursue it one day!

Awesome! Thank you for your time! 😊

Okie dokie that’s a wrap for now

In future devposts, we’ll be including questions sent in by the community! Feel free to send them in over here on Tumblr, or join our Discord and ask questions in the “ask-the-devs-❓” channel!

See you soon!

We're bringing SkyFest 2024 to YOU, even if you can't make it to Tokyo! ✨️

Our team has been working very hard to bring as many players as possible in-game streaming, a new technology for Sky that we hope will bridge the real-world and in-game experiences. handshake This technology will be available to players on iOS, most Android devices, PlayStation, PC, and Steam Deck.

Unfortunately, over the course of development, we ran into numerous technical challenges, and some could not be solved in time for SkyFest despite a lot of time and effort on the part of our engineering team. Players on Nintendo Switch devices, as well as a small percentage of Android devices, will not be able to experience SkyFest Cinema tech for this reason.

Learn more about what this means for Sky Kids far and wide in our latest blog!

Pebble the wearable back from a long death

I started working on Pebble in 2008 to create the product of my dreams. Smartwatches didn’t exist, so I set out to build one. I’m extraordinarily happy I was able to help bring Pebble to life, alongside the core team and community. The company behind it failed but millions of Pebbles in the world kept going, many of them still to this day.

I wear my Pebble every day. It's been great (and I'm astounded it’s lasted 10 years!), but the time has come for new hardware.

You’d imagine that smartwatches have evolved considerably since 2012. I've tried every single smart watch out there, but none do it for me. No one makes a smartwatch with the core set of features I want:

Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)

Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)

Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features I use regularly (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)

Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)

Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)

Over the years, we’ve thought about making a new smartwatch. Manufacturing hardware for a product like Pebble is infinitely easier now than 10 years ago. There are plenty of capable factories and Bluetooth chips are cheaper, more powerful and energy efficient.

The challenge has always been, at its heart, software. It’s the beautifully designed, fun, quirky operating system (OS) that makes Pebble a Pebble.

Today’s big news - Google has open sourced PebbleOS!

PebbleOS took dozens of engineers working over 4 years to build, alongside our fantastic product and QA teams. Reproducing that for new hardware would take a long time. 

Instead, we took a more direct route - I asked friends at Google (which bought Fitbit, which had bought Pebble’s IP) if they could open source PebbleOS. They said yes! Over the last year, a team inside Google (including some amazing ex-Pebblers turned Googlers) has been working on this. And today is the day - the source code for PebbleOS is now available at github.com/google/pebble (see their blog post).

Thank you, Google and Rebble! I can't stress how thankful I am to Rebble and Google, in general and to a few Googlers specifically, for putting in tremendous effort over the last year to make this happen. You've helped keep the dream alive by making it possible for anyone to use, fork and improve PebbleOS. The Rebble team has also done a ton of work over the years to continue supporting Pebble software, appstore and community. Thank you!

In addition to PebbleOS, we’ve been supporting development of Cobble, an open source Pebble-compatible app for iOS (soon) and Android (works great today, it’s my daily driver).

We’re bringing Pebble back!

I had really, really, really hoped that someone else would come along and build a Pebble replacement. But no one has. So… a small team and I are diving back into the world of hardware to bring Pebble back!

This time round, we’re keeping things simple. Lessons were learned last time! I’m building a small, narrowly focused company to make these watches. I don’t envision raising money from investors, or hiring a big team. The emphasis is on sustainability. I want to keep making cool gadgets and keep Pebble going long into the future.

The new watch we’re building basically has the same specs and features as Pebble, though with some fun new stuff as well 😉 It runs open source PebbleOS, and it’s compatible with all Pebble apps and watchfaces. If you had a Pebble and loved it…this is the smartwatch for you.

More info to come soon! Follow the fun with @ericmigi and @pebble.

Are you like me?

Do you have a hole in your heart (and on your wrist) that hasn't been filled by any other smartwatch? 

Sign up to be the first to get one at rePebble.com.

FAQ

When can I buy one?

As soon as we nail down the product specifications and get a firm idea of the production timeline, we'll share it with everyone on the list and invite people to order.

Will it be exactly like Pebble?

Yes. In almost every way. 

Aren’t you the guy who screwed this up last time?

Yes, the one and only. I think I’ve learned some valuable lessons.

What are the unique challenges faced in developing iOS apps?

iOS App Development Services

iOS App Development is also known and considered for its sleek interface, strong security, and loyal user base and stand. However, building and crafting the apps for Apple devices isn't without its hurdles or obstacles. As the developers often face and seek unique challenges that differ and outlast from other platforms like Android. These challenges and obstacles can affect down the timelines, budgets, and overall user experience and matches if not managed carefully or sought in for.

Strict App Store Guidelines:

One of the most common challenges and occurrences in iOS App Development is meeting Apple's strict App Store policies and standard guidelines. As the review process is more rigorous and stiff sometimes than the most common platforms, apps can get rejected for minor issues—ranging from UI design to privacy violations. Developers must thoroughly review Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and follow best practices to avoid delays or rejections.

Limited Customization Options:

Apple has a highly controlled ecosystem. While this assures up the consistency and overall performance is maintained and is stuck with it, as it limits up the developers' ability to customize their user interfaces or access the set of certain hardware functionalities. This means more time and efficiency is intended to be spent finding creative workarounds to deliver unique features within the platform's constraints.

Device and OS Compatibility:

Though Apple has fewer devices than Android, iOS App Development must still account for different screen sizes, resolutions, and operating system versions. Supporting older iOS versions can be tricky, as Apple users adopt new versions quickly, but some still rely on older devices.

Frequent OS Updates:

Apple regularly updates iOS, which can introduce new features and deprecate existing ones. Developers need to stay current and adapt their apps quickly. Failing and not opting to do so can and may lead towards compatibility issues or the app crashes, impacting the overall user satisfaction and their experience which helps to build a smooth appearance to the users.

Security and Data Privacy Compliance:

Apple places high emphasis on user privacy and app security and safeguarding their thoughts and processes. Apps must comply with requirements like App Tracking Transparency (ATT) data encryption standards and commonly specified parameters. Assuring these compliances and sticked with added extra layers of testing and development work into it. While iOS App Development offers and assists with great rewards, it demands precision, flexibility, and constant adaptation. Companies like Suma Soft, IBM, Cyntexa, and Cignex bring the expertise to navigate these challenges effectively, helping businesses to launch their polished, compliant, and user-friendly iOS apps.

5. Rich Development Environment

.NET integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio, one of the most function-wealthy integrated development environments (IDEs) available. Visual Studio offers capabilities together with IntelliSense, debugging tools, challenge templates, and code refactoring.

6. Performance and Scalability

.NET is thought for high performance and scalability, especially with its guide for asynchronous programming using async/wait for and its Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.

7. Secure and Reliable

.NET presents sturdy safety features, including code get entry to security, role-based protection, and cryptography training. It also handles reminiscence management thru rubbish series, minimizing reminiscence leaks.

Common Applications Built with .NET

1. Web Applications

With ASP.NET Core, builders can create cutting-edge, scalable internet programs and RESTful APIs. Razor Pages and Blazor are technology within ASP.NET Core that help server-facet and purchaser-facet rendering.

2. Desktop Applications

Using Windows Forms or Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), builders can build conventional computing device applications. .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) now extends this functionality to move-platform computer and cellular programs.

3. Mobile Applications

Through Xamarin (now incorporated into .NET MAUI), developers can create native mobile applications for Android and iOS the usage of C#.

4. Cloud-Based Applications

.NET is nicely-acceptable for cloud development, in particular with Microsoft Azure. Developers can build cloud-local apps, serverless capabilities, and containerized microservices the usage of Docker and Kubernetes.

5. IoT Applications

.NET helps Internet of Things (IoT) development, allowing builders to construct applications that engage with sensors and gadgets.

6. Games

With the Unity sport engine, which helps C#, developers can use .NET languages to create 2D, three-D, AR, and VR games.

Components of .NET

1. .NET SDK

The Software Development Kit includes everything had to build and run .NET packages: compilers, libraries, and command-line tools.

2. CLR (Common Language Runtime)

It handles reminiscence control, exception managing, and rubbish collection.

Three. BCL (Base Class Library)

The BCL offers center functionalities including collections, record I/O, records kinds, and extra.

4. NuGet

NuGet is the package manager for .NET. It lets in builders to install, manage, and share libraries without problems.

Modern .NET Versions

.NET five (2020): Unified the .NET platform (Core + Framework)

.NET 7 (2022): Further overall performance enhancements and more desirable APIs

.NET 8 (2023): Continued attention on cloud-native, cellular, and web improvement

Advantages of Using .NET

Cross-platform assist – construct as soon as, run everywhere

Large developer network – widespread sources, libraries, and frameworks

Robust tooling – especially with Visual Studio and JetBrains Rider

Active improvement – backed by using Microsoft and open-source community

Challenges and Considerations

Learning curve – particularly for beginners due to its giant atmosphere

Legacy framework – older .NET Framework tasks aren't like minded with .NET Core or more recent variations without migration

Platform differences – sure APIs or libraries might also behave in a different way throughout operating systems

Getting Started with .NET

To begin growing with .NET:

Install the .NET SDK from the legitimate .NET internet site.

Create a new project: Use the dotnet new command or Visual Studio templates.

Write code: Develop your logic the usage of C#, F#, or VB.NET.

Cross-Platform App Development Services: Breaking Barriers and Expanding Reach

In today's digital era, mobile applications have become an integral part of our lives. Whether it's for social networking, e-commerce, or productivity, mobile apps have revolutionized the way we interact with technology. However, developing an app that can cater to the diverse needs of users across different platforms can be a daunting task for businesses. This is where cross-platform app development services come into play.

What is Cross-Platform App Development?

Cross-platform app development is the process of building mobile applications that can run on multiple operating systems, such as iOS and Android, using a single codebase. Unlike native app development, which requires separate codebases for each platform, cross-platform development allows businesses to save time, resources, and effort by creating a single app that works across various platforms.

The Advantages of Cross-Platform App Development:

1. Cost-Effectiveness: Developing separate apps for different platforms can be expensive. Cross-platform development enables businesses to significantly reduce costs by reusing a single codebase across multiple platforms. This approach also minimizes the need for hiring platform-specific developers, resulting in further cost savings.

2. Time Efficiency: Cross-platform frameworks and tools provide developers with the ability to write code once and deploy it on multiple platforms. This drastically reduces the time required for development, testing, and deployment, allowing businesses to bring their apps to market faster and gain a competitive edge.

3. Consistent User Experience: With cross-platform development, businesses can ensure a consistent user experience across different platforms. By using a single codebase, developers can maintain design and functionality consistency, resulting in a seamless experience for users, regardless of the device or operating system they use.

4. Wider Market Reach: By developing a cross-platform app, businesses can reach a broader audience as their application can run on various devices and operating systems. This expanded market reach enhances brand visibility and increases the potential user base, leading to greater customer acquisition and revenue generation.

5. Easy Maintenance: Updating and maintaining separate codebases for different platforms can be challenging. Cross-platform development simplifies the maintenance process as changes and updates can be applied to a single codebase, ensuring consistency and reducing the chances of introducing bugs or inconsistencies across platforms.

Choosing the Right Cross-Platform Development Framework:

When it comes to cross-platform app development, there are several frameworks available, each with its unique features and capabilities. The choice of framework depends on various factors such as project requirements, target audience, performance needs, and developer expertise. Some popular cross-platform frameworks include React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic.

Partnering with Cross-Platform App Development Services:

While cross-platform app development offers numerous benefits, it requires technical expertise and experience to leverage the full potential of these frameworks. This is where partnering with cross-platform app development services can make a significant difference.

Professional app development services specializing in cross-platform development have the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to create high-quality, feature-rich applications that can run seamlessly across multiple platforms. These services understand the intricacies of various frameworks, ensuring optimal performance and user experience.

Additionally, cross-platform app development services keep up with the latest industry trends and advancements, allowing businesses to incorporate cutting-edge features and technologies into their applications. They also provide ongoing support, maintenance, and updates, ensuring that the app remains up-to-date and compatible with the latest devices and operating system versions.

Conclusion:

Cross-platform app development services have emerged as a game-changer for businesses looking to develop mobile applications that can reach a wider audience while optimizing costs and development time. By leveraging the benefits of cross-platform development, businesses can break barriers, expand their reach, and deliver engaging experiences to users across multiple platforms.

Whether you are a startup or an established enterprise, partnering with cross-platform app development services can unlock new opportunities and drive your business forward in the ever-evolving mobile landscape.
