DEVOTION: Philippians 3:4b-14

If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:⁵ circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,^[a]blameless. ⁷ But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— ¹⁰ that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, ¹¹ that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

¹² Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. ¹³ Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

2018 In The Rear Mirror

   So, it's early days in 2019. I suppose that means it's time to take a brief look back at last year's gaming activities. It's also time to start considering the viability of this blog. I mean, really, does anyone blog anymore? Certainly not like the heady days of the early 2010s. I know I don't post nearly as often as I once did. It's not even that I am not doing things game related, because I am. But most of my social media/internet outlet is Twitter now. I'm going to have to have a serious think about the future of this blog.

   I did quite well on the Pledge in 2018, I think. I painted more minis than I received, and that's a good thing! But for next year, I think I am going to modify how I track things again. Basically, I'm adding a category of Artillery between Vehicles and Miniatures. I might add a Cavalry row as well. I don't plan on doing much if any, because - and you already know this if you've been following me for a bit - I hate painting horses. But I have always been torn between calling a cannon a vehicle or a miniature. They're neither fish, nor fowl, nor good red meat, as the saying goes. So we will see how it goes.

   I was silent on the painting front in December. Never picked up a brush. Which I hate but there it is.

   I did get to play a few games in the month though, and that's good. Finished off the last few nights playing Ticket to Ride Europe and Machi Koro with the family while we were away on a short trip to New Orleans. Yep, that's our party animal nightlife lifestyle.

   I will say that I played a nice variety of games this year as well. Several first time experiences, a variety of boardgames, roleplaying games, and miniature wargames. All in all, I am pretty happy with that.

   I didn't receive many minis for Christmas this year (okay, I got a few!) but I did get some terrain, rulebooks, etc. for both minis games and RPGs. Overall happy with it.

   I guess that's the theme for 2018: from a gaming standpoint, overall, I am happy with it.

   I'm hoping to release a few products on DriveThruRPG this year. I haven't really talked about it much but I started a game company early in 2018. With one thing and another, we've been severely delayed in actually producing anything. I'm hoping to rectify that in the next month or two.

   I suppose that's about all for now. I hope you all had a good year last year and I really hope that your 2019 is even better, no matter what point you're starting from.

   Cheers!

DEVOTION: Isaiah 43:16-21 English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord,
    who makes a way in the sea,
    a path in the mighty waters,
¹⁷ who brings forth chariot and horse,
    army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
    they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
¹⁸ "Remember not the former things,
    nor consider the things of old.
¹⁹ Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.
²⁰ The wild beasts will honor me,
    the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
    rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
²¹     the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a third-person action-adventure puzzle-platform video game developed and published by Ubisoft. Revealed in March 2003, it was released across Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox and Microsoft Windows in November 2003. The Sands of Time is a reboot of the Prince of Persia series, created by Jordan Mechner. Mechner served as creative consultant, designer, and scenario writer for The Sands of Time.
The game follows an unnamed Prince whose father sacks a Maharaja's city at the instigation of its treacherous Vizier. During the attack, the Prince obtains an artifact called the Dagger of Time, while his army captures an hourglass containing the Sands of Time. Visiting Azad to present the Sands as a gift to the city's ruler, the Vizier tricks the Prince into releasing the Sands, transforming the city's population into savage monsters. Together with the Maharaja's daughter Farah, the Prince works to correct his mistake and return the Sands to the hourglass. The gameplay revolves around the Prince's platforming abilities, broken up by fights with the creatures created by the Sands. A key mechanic in the game is using the Dagger to rewind time if the Prince makes a mistake platforming, and using it to kill and freeze enemies.
Concept work began in spring of 2001, after Ubisoft acquired the Prince of Persia catalog. After Mechner was brought on board, production began in June of that year. After the initial story draft was scrapped as it was too complex, the team began with four guiding concepts, including the ability to rewind time: this idea grew into the Dagger, the Sands, and the various powers related to them. Mechner's script drew inspiration from the Shahnameh, with the main focus on creating a simple narrative that worked with the pace of gameplay. The game used Ubisoft's Jade engine, originally designed for beyond evi Good & Evil, another game published by the company. Production was troubled, with the team facing problems with the engine structure and delays with environment assets, while also managing to create an effective tester network to seek out the game's bugs. In 2004, a version for mobile phones was developed and published in North America by Gameloft.
Upon release, it received critical acclaim, won and was nominated for numerous awards, and has been recognized by many as one of the greatest games of all time. Sales of the title were initially slow, but it eventually became a commercial success. Its success prompted the development of a sequel, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, which was released in November 2004. Further games set in the Sands of Time continuity have been developed, and it is generally cited as the reason for the Prince of Persia series' return to fame.

Video Game Music In Election Games

Since I first started teaching my video game music class in 2013, Tuesday became the first time I was teaching on a major election day in the USA.  So, for a portion of the class activities on Tuesday, we looked at some uses of game audio in election related games.

One fact I was fascinated to learn is that, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the first piece of video game music used in an election campaign was in 2008.  "Casualties of War" from Medal of Honor European Assault was used without permission of the composer Christopher Lennertz in a TV campaign for John McCain.  

I also looked for various examples of gameplay footage from games that address elections to get a sense of what style of music the games use.  Many election games, especially earlier ones, use only a few sound effects and were rather unremarkable in terms of audio.  But one favorites I discovered with fully fledged music from more recent times  Battleground States 2008.  I couldn't find much more about who created the sound for this game and would love to learn if you know-- leave me a comment.  

You'll hear that this has a very dramatic feel with lots of percussion instruments that has a distinct feel of an evening news program.  My students mused that the gameplay and audio also have a bit of a civil war/ war game component as well.  

One of the most contemporary election related games I could find was Combover Monster Campaign Manager.  In this game, I can easily understand the relevance of the soundbites that are used.  But both my class and I found it challenging to understand why the music fit well with the game.  Having played the game a bit (follow the link above), my first instinct is that the music is just to make the gameplay a bit more immersive and that the spoken word portion is really the hero of the audio.  This feeling is definitely confirmed when you win the game and the ending of the game is a short Trump speech.  Really unique use of the audio.  Interestingly, the audio wasn't made with complex tools, either-- just Audacity and GarageBand.  Again, I'd be interested to learn more about who made this game and the audio.  

Do you know of any other games about elections?  What sort of music/audio do they have?  Do you think it works well for the game?  Why?  Leave me a comment below!  I'm eager to learn more about this topic and want to expand my knowledge for 2020.  

Google Releases Source Code Of Santa Tracker For Android 2018

Posted by Chris Banes, Chief Elf of Android Engineering

Today, we pushed the source code for Google's Santa Tracker 2018 Android app at google/santa-tracker-android, including its 17 mini-games, Santa tracking feature, Wear app and more!

Visually the app looks much the same this year, but underneath the hood the app has gone on a massive size reduction exercise to make the download from Google Play as small as possible. When a user downloads the app the initial download is now just 9.2MB, compared to last year's app which was 60MB. That's a 85% reduction! 🗜️

Android App Bundle

We achieved that reduction by migrating the app over to using an Android App Bundle. The main benefit is that Google Play can now serve dynamically optimized APKs to users' devices. Moreover, we were also able to separate out all of the games into their own dynamic feature modules, downloaded on demand. This is why you might have seen a progress bar when you first opened a game, we are actually downloading the game from Google Play before starting the game:

You can read more about our journey migrating over to App Bundle in a small blog series, starting with our 'Moving to Android App Bundle' post.

Gboard stickers

One of the new features we added this year was a Gboard sticker pack, allowing users to share stickers to their friends. You might even notice some of the characters from the games in the stickers!

'Santa Dunk' is one of the 20 available stickers

We use Firebase App Indexing to publish our stickers to the local index on the device, where the Gboard keyboard app picks them up, allowing the user to share them in apps. You can see the source code here.

Lots of code improvements

Aside from the things mentioned above, we've also completed a number of code health improvements. We have increased the minimum SDK version to Lollipop (21), migrated from the Support Library to AndroidX, reduced the file size of our game assets by switching to modern formats, and lots of other small improvements! Phew 😅.
