CounterPAYDAY

So, I think I've played enough of CounterSide by this point to both be hooked and be able to give an honest opinion about the game. I'll go reviewer mode and do some major nitpicking. Be warned, there will be SPOILERS in here, so read at your own discretion.

Bear in mind, I've spent a bit less than a month with the game, but I've noticed some rather big issues with it that should probably be addressed someday. Also, this review is based on the Steam version: no clue how much gameplay is affected by playing on mobile, but here we go.

UI/Graphics: Pretty Neat/10

So, ignoring a Steam review that complained about a recent major change, I feel like the current UI is pretty solid. Things are fairly simple to navigate once you know what's what (though the terms for "main story", "side story", etc are the usual "we wanna be unique" words, so that may throw you off) and the design is simple but unique. The PC version also runs pretty well, though it should since it's running a 2D sidescroller-style game with what I assume are Spine-rigged full-body sprites.

Gameplay: Balance? What's that?/10

So, revisiting the sidescrooler-style comment, CounterSide is an auto-fight 2D sidescroller game where all characters have a basic attack and a passive effect. Most of them also possess a cooldown-based special attack, and a lot of those "most" possess Ultimate attacks. During battle, you get a stock of points that slowly fills up, allowing you to spend those points to deploy folks (with each unit having its own deployment cost).

Once the folks are deployed, they just go at it and your only real input is to either click the purple diamond over their head when their Ultimate is ready or use the skills of the Ship you're using to deploy said folks. If that sounds a bit demanding, there's an Auto setting for deploying/ship skills and a separate Auto for using Ultimates. While the Auto AI is easy to work with, it's not always reliable in more difficult stages, and it's never a good idea in PvP.

Yeah, there's PvP. You know what that means? GROSS IMBALANCE! Yes, units in this game vary in use because of both needing to keep PvP balanced but then also leading to a lot of overpowered units that have to be "banned" in PvP to temporarily nerf them. And in most cases, the best PvP units are those that hit with massive debuffs, enact huge buffs like Immortality or Perfect Evade, or vice-versa say "no" to all buffs/debuffs. Also Joo counterattack. It can be very frustrating.

The division of units is as follows:

There are three types of units -

Counter - Basically Superheroes, they have superpowers and pull off anime shit. They always have Ultimates and Special Attacks.

Soldier - Normal humans who are still pretty tough and do some normal things to help. Some have Ultimates and Specials, but the Passives replacing them can be quite good.

Mecha* - Vehicles, planes, drones, and stompbots. They can have Specials, Ultimates, or just be normal attack with two or three passives.

*The game actually calls them "Mechs", but this is erroneous as "Mech" is short for "mechanized infantry" which are infantry that travel using tracked vehicles i.e. an APC. "Mecha" is the term for stuff like stompbots and so on.

Among these units, there are SEVEN classes -

Strikers - Melee bros, frontline smack-a-dude, good against Rangers

Rangers - Distance bros, might smack face from afar, but mostly mid-range, good against Defenders.

Defenders - Tanks, enough said, good against Snipers.

Snipers - Self-explanatory, super squishy but super powerful, good against Strikers

Towers - They stand there and defend your ship from getting shivved, that's it, really, not particularly good against anyone and pretty niche

Siege - They charge in and aaaargh, that's it, not particularly useful except maybe in PvP

Supporter - They Heal, They Buff, They Debuff, They Shoot Fire/Ice/Flower Petals, They can be pretty busted but also a bit squishy

So, you see that balancing teams is a bit... Weird with the excess classes as well as how unit types don't quite seem to amount to much other than using different upgrade items/equipment. You'll always have a bit of everything (besides Tower/Siege) on a team in order to beat normal content because using only one class is just stupid.

Of course, the rarity of units goes the letter rating route, where the max is SSR... Well, there's one ABOVE that: AWAKENED SSR. These units are OP for one thing in particular and that one thing can either be super useful or super niche, so the mileage may vary in how much they speed up finishing stages.

Oh, by the way, stages are timed, with 3 minutes being the usual time limit. But, to get 3-star ratings, you have to beat most levels within 1 minute (sometimes 1m30s), so you're more than likely going to focus on farting out as much DPS as possible to win rather than anything else.

Music: A Bit Here, A Bit There/10

So, this is a bit weird to say, but this music seems to be pretty good if only because it's building off other kinds of music. In general, the tone is pretty dark or grim, and the style is a mix of Yuki Kajiura, Go Shiina, and Kenji Kawai. It gets to the point where it feels like a bit of whiplash when you hear something rather normal for a gacha and then suddenly Kajiura-esque choral chanting because the main character is going schwing-schwing in a cutscene.

By the way, it's questionable whether the music is entirely original, as one particular track called "WATCH-00001" turned out to have taken its main melody from a random synth instrumental track and then added a few whooshes and stuff. I would take the music with a grain of salt, seeing as there isn't much here that says "original music" so much as "we're trying to be like that popular music". Not necessarily bad, but after finding out about that one track, it makes anything else a bit suspect in terms of potential plagiarism.

Character Designs: The Whole Spectrum/10

Since the game has super-anime characters, normal people, AND stompbots, it's pretty simple to say that the designs go across the whole spectrum. Some are really good, some are really potato, some are just alright, some are REALLY slutty, some are tastefully-dressed, some are unique, some are generic, there's a Metal Gear, a knock-off Titanfall Titan, the gun nut daughter of M200 from GFL, and Chris Redfield's lost twin brother.

So you'll more than likely find designs you like and designs you won't. It's all over the place, but at least it largely looks to be the same artist, so you know they tried to come up with a lot of variability (even if there are a lot of repeat characters with the Awakened thing and characters from past timelines- we'll get there shortly). It's also got plenty of guys as well as girls, so it's not ENTIRELY biased toward girlservice.

Economy: TOO MANY DIFFERENT CURRENCIES/10

Let's get the biggest part out of the way: you, the player, are a manager. Yes. Which means you're not leveling up characters: you're increasing their pay rate. Now, game-wise this doesn't mean you pay them regularly but the point still stands. You pay lots of money to level them up and make them fight harder using "appraisals" for EXP. This does mean they don't level up by fighting, so they only gain EXP from this.

Their skills can be upgraded with a separate currency of blue books alongside using skill manual-like items of varying amounts based on the skill being upgraded. The ceiling of upgrades is capped based on the star-level of the character, with the absolute max being 5. Their star-level is upgraded through a different Cube-like resource which differs based on the character type- Counter, Soldier, or Mecha.

All of these are obtained via grind. The stamina resource you use to grind, Eternium, initially looks like a huge number (in the thousands) and replenishes 75 every five minutes, but the stages cost so much Eternium that the numbers are largely inflated. That and the best grind stages are locked behind a specific pass-like item that you only get two of every day, with a unique pass for each item type to grind: appraisals, skill manuals, and cubes.

All of this on top of needing to grind for money for everything, as well as parts for upgrading the ships used to deploy your units, equipment for units to use as well as items to craft more/upgrade them, blue books so you don't run out upgrading skills, currency in other modes for their respective shops-- THERE'S A LOT OF GODDAMN ITEMS AND NOT ENOUGH STREAMLINING!

This is one of the parts that bugs me the most, because you're always hemorrhaging on something or other due to the sheer number of things, and it makes progress come to a grinding halt after the initial beginner period where it gives you so much crap to work with. If you don't just blaze through all the available story, then you'll end up with a lot of times just logging in for ten minutes to auto-run stages for whatever you're missing out on the most (which may most often be Cubes or money). It's a headache trying to track all of it, and it would be nice if it was all streamlined into much fewer resources.

That's not even getting into the PvP currency, the challenge content currency, the myriad side story currencies, the Raid/Dive currencies, the shards you gather of certain characters to turn into copies of said character- At least that last one makes sense, but goddamn it feels like they just kept tossing on new things and not putting thought into making it have better flow in acquiring it.

Story: Surprisingly Okay/10

So, here's the basic background: the world exists alongside a place known as the CounterSide which is full of Corruption Rays that turn people into monsters known as Corrupted Objects or C.O.s. It occasionally opens holes from the CounterSide to the real world and spreads the Corruption Rays in the real world.

So, to combat this, the "Administration" employs paid mercenary companies filled with Counters capable of harnessing superpowers fueled by CRF (I forget what it stands for) to fight back. You know someone's a Counter because they wear a watch as a symbol of both their status as a Counter and as ticking death: if it reaches zero without an Eternium recharge, they turn into a special C.O. called a Shadow.

The main story itself begins with the arrival of Hilde, a petite woman who is a member of Coffin Company, a well-known but shit-outta-luck PMC that is on its last legs financially. She is greeted by her old apprentice, Joo Shiyoon, who you can immediately tell, due to his constantly-closed eyes and his voice actor being Lelouch, is not really as happy-go-lucky as he lets on (and equally tell by the CG that Hilde feels guilty about something related to him).

These two chuckleheads come together to go on a mission alongside the new hire, Yoo Mina, the love child of Squall Leonhart and Satomi Rentarou who, of course, uses a long revolver rifle with a little surprise and is obsessed with making money (in order to pay for her sister's hospital bills). The story isn't very subtle about just how these three are not so average folks, and that lack of subtlety is a bit refreshing, but it also does subvert expectations here and there. I digress...

So rookie's first day is rescuing the new owner of Coffin, a monolithic robot that is the avatar of... Well, you, the player, the omnipotent manager. What follows is a chain of events that reveal ye old rookie has her own secret power she's awakening to. Oh, and her revolver rifle has a rune-covered sword inside that she can use to slice through big-ass enemies so long as there's a huge choir chanting in the background. No "power of friendship" stuff going on, just "nah, I'm splitting this thing in two".

A few chapters in, there's a reveal of a group of enemies trying to use the CounterSide for some supposedly nefarious purpose, and it devolves into a rather whirlwind series of events which I will not detail further because this review is getting WAY too wordy. Needless to say, the story does a fair bit of hop and jump, and it doesn't spend too much time hammering in sad moments or make you empathize with enemies like a certain other dev's games hoyo. It does what it sets out to do, and at least the characters aren't so two-dimensional that you actually can guess them from the get-go. Besides maybe Hilde, but I think that's because (as far as I've seen, at least) her story's barely been told since it might be too spoilery.

With that said, the main story does proceed with certain characters becoming involved without explaining why in itself. That's where the side stories come in, where they do detail these other side groups either before or after they get involved in the main story. That, in particular, I appreciate A LOT, especially when the Guide Mission progression has you hopping between Main and Side so you don't miss much along the way. It doesn't ruin the pacing of the Main story if you're just plowing through that, having to cover that stuff, so it works out well.

Overall: Bretty good/10

I mean, it must be doing something right if I feel invested in playing (and spending), right? Eh, I can't honestly say that. Arknights didn't do much right, and I played it for months before dropping it. Well, SilverAsh exists, so that was most of why I stayed... But we're not talking about that crap. We're talking about a rather up-and-down game that's imperfect but kind of enjoyably imperfect.

It's very obvious it has balance issues out the wazoo with characters, it has far too many currencies/upgrade items, hard game modes, and the special "gem" currency for rolling gacha is better spent on upgrades to your dorms or buying the OTHER currency for rolling the Awakened gacha. And yet the gameplay can be hands-off enough that you can just sit and watch your employees do all the work for you, the story bits come together pretty well, and there's plenty of little twists that, while some are pretty obvious, can catch you by surprise just for being different from the norm.

I'd recommend it just for you to judge it accordingly and because the beginning is pretty easy with how much stuff it throws at you. By the time you go through all the beginner prizes and stuff, you should be able to tell whether you'll like the game or not. Once that's all used up, though, you'll be in the grind section of the game, depending on how many not-good units you end up raising without realizing they're not good. But such is life in the gachas...

#CounterSide #gacha sucks #my poor wallet #but seriously watch-00001 might be plagiarism #I actually like all the main cast in this game

Designing for Diversity: Creating Inclusive UI/UX That Resonates Across Demographics

In today's globalized digital landscape, creating user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX) that resonate with diverse audiences is not just a noble goal—it's a business imperative. As our user base becomes increasingly diverse, spanning various cultures, ages, abilities, and backgrounds, designers must rise to the challenge of crafting experiences that are not only functional but also inclusive and meaningful to all users.

Understanding the Importance of Inclusive Design

Inclusive design is an approach that considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age, and other forms of human difference. By designing for inclusivity, we create products and services that are not just accessible to a wider audience but also more usable and enjoyable for everyone.

The benefits of inclusive design extend beyond moral considerations. Companies that prioritize inclusive design can:

Expand their market reach

Improve user satisfaction and loyalty

Drive innovation through diverse perspectives

Reduce legal risks associated with accessibility issues

Enhance their brand reputation as socially responsible

Key Principles of Inclusive UI/UX Design

1. Understand Your Diverse User Base

Before diving into design, it's crucial to thoroughly understand the diverse demographics you're designing for. This involves:

Conducting comprehensive user research

Creating inclusive personas that represent a wide range of users

Employing diverse design teams to bring varied perspectives to the table

2. Design for Accessibility

Accessibility should be a fundamental consideration, not an afterthought. This includes:

Ensuring color contrast meets WCAG guidelines

Providing alternative text for images

Designing for keyboard navigation

Supporting screen readers and other assistive technologies

3. Embrace Cultural Sensitivity

Cultural nuances can significantly impact how users interact with and perceive your design. Consider:

Localizing content beyond mere translation

Being mindful of color symbolism across cultures

Adapting imagery and iconography to be culturally appropriate

4. Cater to Different Abilities

Users have varying physical and cognitive abilities. Design with this in mind by:

Offering multiple ways to interact with your interface (e.g., touch, voice, gesture)

Providing options to adjust text size, contrast, and audio levels

Simplifying complex tasks and offering clear instructions

5. Consider Age Diversity

From tech-savvy Gen Z to less digitally native older adults, your design should accommodate users of all ages:

Use clear, legible typography

Avoid relying solely on trendy design patterns that may confuse older users

Provide comprehensive onboarding for complex features

6. Be Gender-Inclusive

Avoid perpetuating gender stereotypes and create a welcoming experience for all gender identities:

Use gender-neutral language and imagery

Offer inclusive options for user profiles and avatars

Avoid making assumptions about users based on gender

Practical Strategies for Implementing Inclusive Design

Conduct Inclusive User Testing

Involve a diverse group of users in your testing process to uncover issues and gather insights you might otherwise miss. This includes:

Testing with users of different ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds

Using a variety of devices and assistive technologies

Gathering feedback on cultural appropriateness and sensitivity

Implement Flexible Design Systems

Create design systems that are adaptable to different user needs:

Use responsive design principles to ensure your UI works across devices

Implement dark mode and high-contrast options

Allow users to customize their experience (e.g., font size, color schemes)

Prioritize Clear Communication

Clarity is key in inclusive design:

Use plain language and avoid jargon

Provide clear error messages and recovery options

Offer multilingual support where appropriate

Leverage Technology for Inclusion

Take advantage of technological advancements to enhance inclusivity:

Implement voice interfaces for users with visual impairments or those who prefer voice interaction

Use AI to provide real-time language translation

Explore AR/VR solutions to create immersive experiences for users with mobility limitations

Continuously Educate Your Team

Foster a culture of inclusivity within your design team:

Provide regular training on inclusive design principles

Encourage team members to stay updated on accessibility guidelines and best practices

Promote empathy-building exercises to help designers understand diverse user perspectives

Overcoming Challenges in Inclusive Design

While the benefits of inclusive design are clear, implementing it can come with challenges:

Balancing Inclusivity with Aesthetics: Sometimes, design choices that enhance accessibility may seem to conflict with aesthetic preferences. The key is to find creative solutions that marry form and function.

Resource Constraints: Implementing comprehensive inclusive design practices can be resource-intensive. Start with high-impact, low-effort changes and gradually expand your efforts.

Lack of Awareness: Not all stakeholders may understand the importance of inclusive design. Educate team members and decision-makers about the business and ethical benefits.

Evolving Standards: Accessibility guidelines and best practices are continually evolving. Stay informed and be prepared to adapt your designs accordingly.

The Future of Inclusive Design

As technology advances, new opportunities for inclusive design emerge:

AI and Machine Learning: These technologies can help personalize user experiences and provide intelligent assistance to users with different needs.

Biometric Interfaces: Advancements in eye-tracking, gesture recognition, and brain-computer interfaces open up new possibilities for users with physical limitations.

Immersive Technologies: VR and AR can create more inclusive educational and entertainment experiences, breaking down physical barriers.

Conclusion

Designing for diversity is not just about compliance or reaching a wider audience—it's about creating a digital world that truly works for everyone. By embracing inclusive design principles, we can craft UI/UX that resonates across demographics, fostering a more accessible, equitable, and innovative digital landscape.

As designers, we have the power and responsibility to shape experiences that celebrate human diversity. By making inclusivity a core part of our design process, we not only improve our products but also contribute to a more inclusive society as a whole.

Remember, inclusive design is an ongoing journey, not a destination. Stay curious, empathetic, and open to learning from the diverse users you serve. In doing so, you'll create experiences that not only meet the needs of all users but also delight and inspire them, regardless of their background or abilities.

What to Learn After Html , CSS ,JS ? In today’s ever-evolving tech landscape, knowing what to learn after HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is essential for any aspiring developer One of the most recommended next steps is learning React, a powerful JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces. But before we dive into why React is critical, let’s first explore the broader learning journey for developers and what they should master after the basics.

Wearing Many Hats: The Essential Skills of a Full-Stack Developer

In the dynamic world of web development, the term "full-stack developer" has become synonymous with versatility and expertise. Unlike their front-end or back-end counterparts, full-stack developers are the ultimate problem-solvers, comfortable navigating the entire web development lifecycle, from user interface (UI) design to server-side scripting. But what exactly does it take to wear these many hats effectively? Let's delve into the essential skillset that defines a successful full-stack developer.

Front-End Fluency: Crafting a Seamless User Experience

The front-end is the user's playground, the visual and interactive layer they navigate. A full-stack developer needs to be well-versed in the languages that bring websites and applications to life:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language): The foundation of web pages, HTML structures the content and layout.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets): CSS dictates the visual appearance of a website, controlling elements like colors, fonts, and layouts.

JavaScript (JS): This dynamic language adds interactivity to web pages, enabling features like animations and user input.

Beyond the Basics: Mastering Frameworks and Libraries

Modern web development heavily relies on frameworks and libraries that streamline the coding process and offer pre-built functionalities. Full-stack developers should be comfortable with popular front-end frameworks like:

React: A powerful library for building dynamic user interfaces with reusable components.

Angular: A comprehensive framework known for its structure and scalability.

Vue.js: A versatile framework known for its flexibility and ease of use.

These frameworks provide a solid foundation for crafting beautiful, interactive user experiences.

Back-End Brawn: Building the Engine of the Web

The back-end is the unseen force behind a website, handling data processing and server-side logic. Full-stack developers need a solid grasp of:

Server-Side Scripting Languages: Languages like Python, PHP, Ruby, or Java power the functionalities and logic behind websites.

Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB are some popular databases for storing and managing website data.

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces): APIs allow communication between different applications, a crucial skill for integrating external services.

Understanding back-end technologies enables full-stack developers to build robust and scalable web applications.

Beyond the Code: The Soft Skills of a Full-Stack Developer

Technical expertise is only half the story. Full-stack developers need a well-rounded skillset that includes:

Problem-Solving: The ability to identify, analyze, and solve complex technical challenges is paramount.

Communication: Effective communication with designers, clients, and other developers ensures all are on the same page.

Teamwork: Full-stack developers often collaborate in teams, requiring the ability to work effectively with others.

Continuous Learning: The tech landscape is constantly evolving, so a commitment to lifelong learning is crucial.

These soft skills are essential for navigating the collaborative nature of web development projects.

The T-Shaped Advantage: Specialization Within Versatility

The ideal full-stack developer is often described as having a "T-shaped" skillset. The horizontal bar of the "T" represents the broad knowledge base across front-end and back-end technologies. The vertical bar represents a deeper specialization in one or two specific areas, such as front-end framework expertise or back-end security.

This combination of breadth and depth allows full-stack developers to tackle a wider range of projects while excelling in their chosen area of specialization.

Conclusion: The Full-Stack Future

The demand for full-stack developers is on the rise. Their versatility and ability to manage all aspects of web development make them valuable assets in today's fast-paced digital world. If you're looking for a stimulating and challenging career path, developing the skills mentioned above can open doors to exciting opportunities in the ever-evolving world of web development. So, are you ready to wear the many hats of a full-stack developer?

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Web Design Services

A SEOSquad, one of the leading Web Designing company in India, we understand how important a well-designed website is for boosting your business revenue.

This guide will walk you through the key points for choosing the right web design services, ensuring your online presence is both effective and attractive.

Understanding Web Design Services

Before choosing a web design service, it’s important to know what they offer. These services typically include:

Website Layout Design: Crafting the visual structure of your website.

User Experience (UX) Design: Making sure the website is easy to use.

User Interface (UI) Design: Designing interactive elements for better user engagement.

Responsive Design: Ensuring your website works well on all devices.

SEO Integration: Optimizing your website to rank better on search engines.

Content Management System (CMS): Allowing easy updates to your website content.

Each of these components helps create a website that not only looks good but also performs well.

Identifying Your Needs

The first step in choosing the right web design services is identifying your specific needs. This involves:

Defining Your Goals: What do you want to achieve with your website? Whether it’s generating leads, selling products, or providing information, your goals will influence the design.

Understanding Your Audience: Knowing your target audience helps tailor the website design to their preferences and behaviors.

Budget Consideration: Decide how much you’re willing to spend on web design services. Remember, a higher upfront cost can lead to a better long-term performance and less need for frequent redesigns.

Evaluating Web Design Companies

With your needs clearly defined, it’s time to evaluate potential web design companies. Here are some factors to consider:

Portfolio and Experience

Check the portfolios of different web design companies. Look for diversity in design and functionality. This will show you if they can meet your specific requirements. Experience in your industry is a plus, as the designers will understand your market and audience better.

Client Testimonials and Reviews

Customer feedback is very important for understanding a company’s reliability and quality of service. Look for testimonials on the company’s website and reviews on independent platforms. Notice how the company handles criticism and resolves issues.

Services Offered

Make sure the company offers a wide range of services that match your needs. For example, if SEO is important to you, the company should have a strong SEO team. At SEO SQUAD, we offer a full range of digital marketing solutions, ensuring all aspects of your website design and promotion are covered.

One of the critical aspects of web design is SEO integration. A beautiful website is useless, if it doesn’t attract their visitors. Here’s what to look for:

On-Page SEO: The company should optimize all on-page SEO elements, including meta tags, headers, and images.

Speed Optimization: Website speed also affects search engine rankings. The design should be optimized for fast loading times.

Mobile Optimization: Most of the users accessing websites on mobile devices, responsive design is crucial.

Content Optimization: Ensure the web design company has a strategy for integrating SEO-friendly content.

Regular Updates: Keeping your website’s software, plugins, and content up to date.

Security: Implementing measures to protect your site from threats.

Analytics and Reporting: Providing insights into your website’s performance and areas for improvement.

Have you clearly defined your website goals and audience?

Have you reviewed portfolios and verified the experience of potential web design companies?

Have you checked client testimonials and reviews?

Are the services offered comprehensive and aligned with your needs?

Is the company transparent about pricing and what’s included in their packages?

Best Practices For Developing iOS Business Apps

You must make sure your iOS application complies with Apple's requirements if you're creating one. Because of their renowned UX and security, Apple devices are the ideal platform for business apps. Utilize your mobile app to its full potential by adhering to these 27 business-critical best practices. You should be mindful of the following recommendations in addition to the UI, UX, and security. The following advice will assist you in creating an iOS app that complies with Apple's requirements.

Students are prepared for jobs as professional iOS Developers via the Apple Developer Program. Numerous contexts, including big businesses, start-ups, and contract projects, employ these developers. Self-motivation, 10 hours of effort per week, and group work are requirements for the program. To ensure the program's success, interactive input is crucial. Visit the resources below to learn more about creating iOS apps. Once your course is over, you'll be well on your way to being a productive iOS developer!

An integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS is called Xcode. Xcode is available for free download from the Mac App Store, but first, you must have an active Apple Developer account. The Apple App Store only accepts applications that have been signed by Xcode. To become an Apple Developer, you must pay a $99 yearly fee. You must bear in mind that Xcode is required in order to publish your apps.

Xcode is a macOS-integrated development environment (IDE). You can download Xcode for free from the Mac App Store, but you first need to be signed into an active Apple Developer account. Only programs that have been signed by Xcode are permitted in the Apple App Store. You must pay a $99 annual fee to become an Apple Developer. Keep keeping mind that Xcode is necessary for publishing your apps.

And last, language should be taken into account. Even if Swift is now the new standard programming language for iOS, it's still crucial to comprehend Objective-C. Both have their merits and are object-oriented programming languages that use the same runtime. For instance, Swift is simpler to learn than Objective-C and can be used on Linux. Additionally, it permits the integration of legacy code without jeopardizing security. Finally, it is quick. Swift allows you to create complicated programs rapidly.

Swift is a robust and user-friendly language that is quickly gaining popularity among those who create iOS apps. Swift was initially launched by Apple in 2014, and Swift 3—which contains a tonne of cool features—was the later upgrade. Engineers are starting to use Swift more frequently, although many developers still advise sticking with Objective-C for more challenging tasks. Currently, 11% of apps available on the App Store use Swift. The development of Swift and Objective-C has a lot of similarities.

The next step after finishing iOS app development companies is to publish your app to the App Store. It will go through Apple's review procedure after being authorized. It can take a few days or possibly a few weeks to complete this. Once your application has been accepted, you must keep it updated often. Your team will regularly keep an eye on use, gauge success, and test for issues during this process. Even the app's functionality and user interface will receive changes.

Looking for the best American Top mobile app development company? Our professionals will assist you in growing your business if you contact us right away. Mobile applications are one of the finest ways to connect with clients, and a well-designed app may help you increase customer engagement.

What Does a Full Stack Developer Do?

Full stack developers are developers with a broad range of skills. They can work on both front-end and back-end projects. They are flexible and have strong time management skills. They can work freelance or as consultants for short-term projects. They can also start their own businesses. There are many benefits to working as a full stack developer.

Full stack developers work on both front end and back end projects

Full-stack developers are skilled at both the front and back end of web development projects. Their duties can vary greatly, but they generally focus on both areas of the web development process. They can work on both client-side and server-side projects and use both front-end and back-end programming languages.

Full-stack developers oversee both the front end and the back end, and are often involved in cross-platform optimization as well. They also perform collaborative planning with other company departments and are often given management responsibilities, leading a larger development team. Full-stack developers are highly skilled in multiple technologies and frameworks and can work on both web applications and mobile applications.

Full-stack developers work on both the front end and the back end of a project, allowing them to write custom scripts with flawless fidelity. Because of this, they can eliminate the need to mix code from two different ends of application development. Full-stack developers can help small businesses save money on the cost of creating applications by taking care of the entire process.

They are generalists

Full stack developers are those who can handle a variety of different development tasks. They may work in a start-up or other company that has multiple development needs, but are still willing to branch out into other areas as the company grows. This type of developer is often the best choice for companies that are looking for generalists.

Full stack developers tend to have a broader background in the fields of software development, design, and architecture than specialist developers. As a result, they have less depth in certain fields. As such, they may be more desirable for startups. However, you should always be aware of the skills that Full Stack developers have.

Web development projects often require an understanding of both front-end and back-end development. While front-end developers are more likely to focus on building a website’s user interface (UI), backend developers are the ones responsible for implementing back-end logic and data.

They are agile

Full stack developers are a type of software developer who develops the full stack of an application, from the back end to the front end. This kind of development is much more flexible and versatile than the traditional waterfall development methodology. For example, when a developer works on a web application, he is usually responsible for front-end UX, server-side logic, scalability, and operations. On the other hand, if the developer works on an embedded system, he is responsible for device drivers and control logic.

A full-stack developer is a great asset to a team. Not only do full-stack developers have a wide range of technical skills, but they also have strong business sense and can see the big picture. They also understand the needs of an organization and can offer strategies for generating revenue.

Full-stack developers are in demand for their flexibility and ability to dive into different parts of the system to solve problems. In addition, they should have good communication skills and be able to respond to unforeseen issues and changes.

They have strong time management skills

Full-stack developers are good at managing their time and coordinating within a team. This allows them to focus on more important tasks while working on one project, while also ensuring the project is delivered on time. Professional full-stack developers have extensive knowledge of all phases of development and have the ability to implement creative solutions. They also have years of experience in web development, and possess the expertise to find errors and implement long-term solutions.

A full-stack developer should have good knowledge of version control systems, common programming languages, and frameworks. This includes front-end programming languages, such as HTML and CSS. They also need to be familiar with IDEs, such as Microsoft Project or Eclipse. They should be able to use these tools efficiently.

A full-stack developer must be knowledgeable of databases and know how to interact with them. Common databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. For larger projects, a full-stack developer should also be familiar with commercial databases like Oracle or MySQL. Memory-based databases can help improve system performance and caching.

On the potential of greener pastures.

While I don’t see the need to beat the dead horse that is the incelery of Blizzard Entertainment’s treatment of women and gay men - still holding out for the claims of transphobia, don’t worry it will be there - One thing I have noticed lately is the increasing willingness of long term WoW players moving to other realms and universes of fantasy.

But the question, is it the right thing to do?

Obviously no one reasonable to advocate for you to stay playing something you find uncomfortable - that is insanity and inhuman. But, is Tamriel, Eorzea or the Galaxy Far Far Away really the type of place that the average Argent Dawn player will feel at home in? I’ve had many discussions with my fellow CoAD team friends and we all have our opinions on the matter. While we all agree that as a creative medium, we as players should reclaim World of Warcraft as something that works for us all - not all of us are particularly comfortable in remaining on the game considering what type of behaviour paying for that subscription enables. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- So first up on the list. Tamriel,the main setting of the Elder Scrolls universe. As a whole I would say the Elder Scrolls Online thematically matches many popular brands on Argent Dawn. It ticks the boxes of House/Noble Roleplay, Military, Intrigue and “Race War Now!” - all fairly popular areas of roleplay on Argent Dawn. ESO also boasts a far more vigorously designed world compared to current WoW, a considerably more consistent lore and player housing that is very generous. The downsides? There always are downsides... ESO is shackled with an insular community that much like Guild Wars 2 - another former contender to WoW - has a somewhat small town Alabama mentality towards new players. This is also combined with a recurring problem of a number of players using their characters to effectively further their own real life politics or ideologies. In particular the crypto-fascists are very drawn to the Aldmeri Dominion faction, with the prominence of the Thalmor - yes the same elf supremacists from Skyrim - being a key factor. Thanks to blatant racism being a canonical factor of the setting many have gotten away with effectively using their character as a smokescreen. Alternatively the Neo-Roman Imperials also are a popular second choice for your standard chauvinistic “ew women” basement dwellers who would shrivel at the first touch of a real woman. Community issues aside, ESO also has system problems with a very awkwardly designed UI that is unintuitive to someone used to the traditional hotbar system present in many MMO games. Perhaps a minor problem in the long term as you get used to it but be prepared for heavy frustration and awkward handling. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Second up we have the supposed rising star of the genre, in the gleaming world of Eorzea, the primary setting for Final Fantasy 14. The setting is very conducive for Adventure type RP in particular, but by no means limited. The worldbuilding of Eorzea is very elaborate, with analogues to many real world cultures being present, Norse, Franco-German, Middle English, Levantine/Mediterranean and Far Eastern with smaller groups being present too. The lore is watertight, with very few inconsistencies - the few are merely a player issue of doing class quests in reverse order to the story quest mostly - and the setting is shown rather than explained through out of universe books. Player housing is rather advanced as well, with both personal and guild varieties being present in four capital cities so far.

Things are not always sunny however. Some glaring errors are present in the game. The UI and general intuitiveness of the systems present are incredibly dated and arcane. This is likely due in part to the need to keep things workable for the console players, and probably Square Enix not understanding their playerbase, especially in the West. In addition, due to how the story is the main system of progression, for those wanting to roleplay with a full understanding it is effectively mandatory to do the main story questline to completion before taking part in substantial or heavy roleplay. Finally and probably the most glaring problem is the issue of the community itself. While the general projection is that the FF14 community is very welcoming and kinder than the WoW community, this is only really applicable to the US servers. Both Crystal and Primal - the main ones - are highly active, busy and brimming with both helpful people and roleplay, so much so it spills out into the open world and cities. Crystal in particular is the most analogous to “golden age” Argent Dawn. The only major issue is the “problem” of ERP being quite acceptable and open in the games RP community, no weirdly KKK cosplaying attempts to shut it down will work here, unfortunately for some. That said it can be ignored and the players soliciting can be reported if they persist - and square enix is very good at customer support. However, the European servers are a whole other beast. Light has no roleplay of any major or notable amount, and half of the servers on it are not even populated. Outside of Lich, Shiva and Odin there are scant few players around. Chaos has more people on it, but the wrong kind of people. I have spoken to a now silly number of people on Crystal and to a lesser extent Primal giving abject horror stories they have brought from the Chaos server group. Most of the RP happens on Omega, with some smaller level on Moogle and Ragnarok. Though to call it RP is generous. Their “roleplay” consists of generally playing self-inserts in Second Life tier social roleplay. Those few who engage in actual roleplay often find themselves ostracised or even - subtly - harassed - remember, square enix are very good at customer support - for trying to roleplay within the setting they are in. It is no surprise then that there are more European players playing on the US server groups than on their own. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally the old man, though potentially most balanced of the three is the well established Galaxy Far Far Away - the setting of Star Wars: The Old Republic. With a colossal lore from both in game and the extended Old Republic universe itself the game has tremendous potential for all manner of RP, from your traditional Sith or Jedi RP to space Criminals, Military, space Researchers/Academics, Political RP and most things in between. The Stronghold System, while dated compared to the others does allow for expansive and varied environments to do both public and private roleplay within, with a whole catalogue of venues being available for perusal. Besides that, the planets themselves are highly expansive and massive in terms of scale, easily twice the size of major zones in WoW often with a variety of environments that make the planets seem like an actual world, or part of at least. Hoth really does have the sensation you are on a frozen tomb in the Outer Ring. The downsides of the game however are rather heavy. Roleplay is almost entirely guild centric, though not hidden away by any means. Competing “headcanons” have been know to create problems, but as the Galaxy is big enough it really boils down to a matter of taste rather than sociopathic cult leaders attempting to control the roleplay for everyone. In addition, the system of the game are woefully clunky, with the worst customisation for characters present, even if the transmog system is better than WoW’s. Thankfully the new expansion for it is coming soon which promises to revamp both character agency and customisation and fix systems that are horrendously out of place in 2021. Finally the other main issue of TOR is the presence of the free to play, but pay and get more model. Freemium is neither the F2P that ESO offers or the simple subscription model FF14 offers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

With all that said, each game has its flaws and perks. Considering there loudest voices seem to be indicating either a shift towards ESO or FF14, it will be interesting to see if these become permanent converts - with all the moral grandstanding about how terrible Blizzard is - or they will quietly slink back to Azeroth once the dust settles and nothing sadly is done about the appalling corporate problems in Blizzard. I personally will remain engaged on Argent Dawn. WoW itself is a product that is shaped by its community more than its sleazy developers and strangulating Blizzard over it is realistically likely to cause more harm long term. Besides, how can we reclaim the setting for the players if we all decide to jump ship?
