Hello everyone! Are you interested in supporting two beginner game developers as we start to code? Then you are in the right spot! @aurae-rori and I are currently creating a puzzle horror game :)

Red Herring is a game that follows two main characters, one who is a cook and one who is waiter. These two decide to start a detective business to investigate a series of missing pets around their small town while they try to figure their life out.

The actions you make, even at the very beginning, shape the way the story unfolds with an eventual possible five endings! The decisions you make also determine what minigames you play throughout the four acts that make up the game!

If this sounds interesting in the slightest, please check out our server where we will be posting monthly updates, sneakpeaks, and polls that will determine parts of our games!

The Beginning!

Hello!! I'm VerrixStudios and I'm a concept designer for an in-progress ROBLOX game called The Legends of Pandora!

This blog is to show people the progress the game has made so far, and to hopefully keep it all in one place! The game was originally started in 2022 on September 1st, and we've gotten a LOT of progress on and off due to everyone having their own schedules such as school, work and etc.

This game has NO predicted release date, but we are currently working on a beta version to be put out soon!

There are community opportunities such as clothes and Ikran skin designs to be submitted. Sometimes contests and give aways are held as well

We are always looking for more help, such as Script and Code Writers, Sound Designers, Concept Artists, Developers and More!

Our game is still in development, so nothing is completely confirmed yet but it is planned to be a singleplayer and multiplayer game. There will be both canon and original creatures, plants and more!

This blog is currently run by one individual, so it will be slightly behind on updates compared to the official LOP server. If you'd like to stay updated, or just are interested in general, here is a link to the server! The askbox will be open for questions, and common questions or anything I've forgotten will be added to this post.

If this link doesn't work or expires please let me know! I will update it asap if that happens

Setting up a Factorio server on Ubuntu 22.04!

This blog documents me setting up a Factorio server on an Ubuntu 22.04 server.

Step 1 - Downloading the Factorio binary

The latest binary can be accessed from this (https://www.factorio.com/get-download/stable/headless/linux64) link. Download it on your Linux server however you like. For me, I like to download it on my local machine and use WinSCP to transfer it over to my server.

Once the Factorio binary tarball is in your server, extract it using: tar xf factorio_*

This will create a new directory "factorio". This directory has all the data for your Factorio gameserver! I HIGHLY recommend taking a look at the gameserver settings under ~/factorio/data/server-settings.example.json. If you'd like to change anything, copy the file under "server-settings.json" using cp server-settings.example.json server-settings.json.

If you want your gameserver to show up in the public game listing. You can see the options for that in this file.

Step 2 - Save files!

You need somewhere to put your world saves. Let's make a directory for that. This directory needs to be in the Factorio directory that was created when your unballed the binary tarball, and be called "saves". So just make a "saves" directory in the factorio directory.

In the saves directory, you can either upload your own savefile, or create one using: ~/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --create /factorio/saves/initial.zip

Step 3 - Running your gameserver.

Running the Factorio server is done with the binary in ~/factorio/bin/x64/. You can put this in a SystemD service, or PM2 if you want. Just make sure to include the following parameters: (adjust this command to your system, like you should with any other directories I mention in this blog)

~/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --server-settings ~/factorio/data/server-settings.json --start-server-load-latest --console-log ~/factorio/logs.log

Additionally - Admin List

If you'd like to add admins to your server (which is highly recommended). Create another json file under ~/factorio called "server-adminlist.json". And put your admins Factorio name in there in an array.

Bonus - Mods

Mods are a quite popular in Factorio. And you can add some to your server!

In your gameserver files, you can see a "mods" directory under ~/factorio. Simply add any mod files there, and they'll load with your server!

Crafting UI improvements

The Spinning Wheel/Sewing Machine got 4 new tabs to further categorize existing recipes and reduce clutter in the second tab. The Snugget tab contains items that are available to everyone but only Snuggets can/should use.

The Anvil/Forge/Replicator got 3 new tabs. The EPP tab was cluttered, so the light augments got their own tab. Paint guns also got their own tab as they can hardly be called actual weapons.

Finally, there is now a separate tab for the trim tools which let you modify blocks in cool ways and you probably didn't even know existed! You can get the recipes for them at the Small Instant Mail Catalog which is craftable at the Inventor's Table.

Items tagged MMP got their own tab. Same with the new items tagged SCB. Greebles got their own tab too. (I didn't even know these existed!) Finally, graffiti now have their own tab.

This, combined with the 150+ removed recipes (because they are also available at the Outpost Express) and two dozen or so more that have been moved, massively helped declutter the Workbench, especially the 4th (decor) tab.

Please note that not all of the above mods' contents will be available on Multiverstar Modded due to legal and community reasons!Unavailable items show up in-game as a "Perfectly Unavailable Item".

Gem: I messaged Mumbo and Skizz but no answer yet. I think we should wait-

Gem: Scar!!

Scar: What? No point in letting it go to waste, am I right?

Pearl: Hey whoa whoa whoa

Pearl: Let's hold our horses

Pearl: Why- why do we even need to go to the Nether, anyway?

Scar: Isn't the Enchanting Table there this time, Grian?

Grian: A-yup.

Grian: It's just plopped in a Bastion in there. 'Cause why not.

Scar: Ancient City is a hard act to follow, huh?

Grian: Eh, it works as long as nobody gets access to enchantments too early.

Gem: You don't say! Then maybe WE shouldn't be going there so soon, huh Grian?

Grian: Don't tell me that GeminiSlay is scared of some little piggies!

Grian: I fully expect you to carry, by the by.

Gem: UGH.

Pearl: Come on guys, let's at least wait for Skizz and Mumbo to come back!

Scar: Nooo, you never know who's trying to beat us to it. Those rapscallions could be closing in on the magic table as we speak!

Pearl: :(

A few notes about Realm SMP:

Tubbo hopes to have an event every week and ideally thinks this would be a 6 month server

There's a "level up" system but it will be tailored so people won't be left behind if they can't log in much

Armor and Combat is DND inspired, but it's not 100% accurate to DND

Tubbo looked at the 5 main MCYT communities he's been in / watched and that's the "pool" he chose people from

There's no plans for an in-game translator because it's expensive and also Tubbo "doesn't want to step on Quackity's toes" :(

Tubbo says he doesn't have a lot of Spanish-speaking streamers on his Discord friend list so there was a limit to how many people he could message, but he wants to add more people (he has 5 planned already)

Lore is dependent on what the people on the server do, he likes more freestyle flowing RP

There's no big team behind the server, it's just Tubbo and Tango helping him with some things he might not understand (however, he has a team he wants to use for the New Year Event he has in mind). He may look into getting some admins to help enforce rules

He made it so players can play Realm SMP with default Minecraft, he doesn't want to overwhelm people with too many mod downloads.

There is NO mod pack! Realm SMP is vanilla, it's just custom texture packs and plugins.

Tubbo says he's been overwhelmed by the amount of support it's received so far, but he's a bit nervous too

He says he doesn't have Missa added on Discord but he tried to contact him (?)

No set classes, but people can specify their skill points to unlock certain things on skill trees and build their own classes

There IS a life system (😰) but it's a bit different. There's 3 lives — if you die 3 times you're out, but it's only semi-hardcore because when you die, your stats are set to 0 and you're in spectator-mode, but players can craft an item to bring you back at 1 life and you get all your stats back.

There's no "downing" system, if you die you did, you can't be picked back up like on QSMP

No "keep inventory" on death

There's no limit to the amount of times you can be resurrected (thank god) Tubbo says it would kinda suck otherwise because then people would just get banned off the server at some point after dying x amount of times

The Nether IS enabled, the End isn't enabled yet because Tubbo wants to make a cool custom boss fight.

There will be proximity chat

Etoiles (in chat) asked about armor and Tubbo tells him he'a really glad Etoiles agreed to join, even though he wasn't planning on doing much Minecraft stuff anymore

Streamers can play off-stream

Tubbo says he has a "Badboyhalo Contingency Force" (it's Tubbo and Tango)

Tubbo says the Realm SMP concept came to him in a dream

Mob strength will scale as players "level up"

Deaths to a bug or glitch don't count, but all othet deaths will

Events won't be all PVP-based because he wants people to enjoy the events even if they aren't a huge Minecraft player

Two banned items: mending books and elytra, which will be tied to future events

Tubbo says he's happy to do anything himself, but if anyone really wants to be an admin, it'd be voluntary like a Twitch mod kind of deal since it's just him and Tango. (He already has a team of people he goes to for admin stuff, it wouldn't be random people being admins)

In the hour before the server launches, he'll be showing off server features

He reminded people in the player Discord it's just for fun, the life system isn't meant to be competitive and he doesn't want sweats to be dicks about it since not every player is a big Minecraft player

He has a 6 month timeframe in mind but it'll last as long as people want to play, if it fizzles out in a month then it fizzles out in a month, it lasts as long as people play it.

There will be NPCs "When he gets them sorted" but he's a one-man army doing everything

He reminds people to "manage their expectations" because he's only one guy – he can't do events like Purgatory like Quackity because he doesn't have a massive team like he did.

He says if his merch stuff goes well then maybe he can get 1 or 2 people to help with the Realm project

Tubbo is still answering Q&A stuff on stream right now, but these are the biggest things he's said so far!

Another "Guess that Artist" game in Haunting Heroes discord server. This time drawing fanarts for fics with less than 10k hits on ao3.

I chose amazing IRIS Log #1548 by @deadchannelradio!

Love this fic. "As buddies" got me. Hilarious and absolutely worth reading and then rereading twice. Or trice.

@arzuera thanks or hosting the game! @serxeri thanks for tormenting me! i won tho.
