![]() ![]() It's definitely not an "Easy Mode."Įven when I was feeling stuck, at least I was always being rewarded with new lore. If you're really feeling stuck, you can activate an optional "Self-Fulfillment Mode" that gives you some extra healing items and slightly nerfs normal enemies, but it doesn't change the boss fights at all and I found it to not be that much help. And I definitely appreciated that extra bit of control over each run's progression. Knowing which floors are more valuable in which situations, thus, becomes a huge help. That said, every elevator does give you a choice of which type of level to visit next, with the exception of the ones that lead to area bosses, which can have a major impact on how well kitted-out you'll be for the tougher challenges. So it's not really a way of building momentum, but rather another way to make everything more challenging. You can eventually unlock elevators that let you skip a lot of normal stages and go directly to some of the big bosses, but this ends up hurting more than it helps as you miss out on all the currency and upgrades you would have earned on those floors. ![]() ![]() It took me over 100 runs to even see the final boss, and I was feeling worn down well before that. And without much of that persistent progression to look forward to, I found my enthusiasm to keep going in Have A Nice Death was often on a downward trajectory. It takes the sting out of those lose-lose days when it seems like the first boss is just kicking my ass every time I see him. But at least in something like Hades or even Elden Ring, I feel like my many defeats are all building to something and I'll eventually overcome the challenges before me by getting stronger little by little, alongside my skills improving. I like to be challenged, and I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition. I don't mind really punishing games, usually. Almost everything you earn goes away as soon as you're slain. The main issue I ran into is that the long-term progression systems don't really give you a feeling of momentum that would have been quite welcome considering the steep difficulty curve. And you get to hear a catchy little jingle every time, too. Memorizing patterns is essential, as the margin for error is too small to really get by winging it, which can be aggravating when your run ends to a miniboss you haven't seen in a while due to the randomized floors.įor capital D-Death, lowercase-d death isn't that big of a deal, of course, as you'll simply get sent back down to your office to live again and hopefully take revenge on your disobedient underlings. These are some incredibly unforgiving fights, and given your very limited defensive options, they can be very frustrating. And its in the offices of those brutal Thanagers and Sorrows that the difficulty really kicks in. Software description provided by the publisher.Along the descent into darkness, you'll be collecting red, green, and blue Curse cards, which sounds bad, but these are actually the main passive bonuses you can stack during a run, like adding bleed to your weapons or getting health back when you defeat a boss. ![]() For instance, adopting a Curse upgrade for yourself might result in the Labor Inspector granting your subordinates enhanced powers, or worse, raising the cost of koffee and other items that are vital to your work output.

![]() ![]() ![]() We did early tests and decided this approach worked well.įrom the previous workbooks, we already had a ‘house style’ established in terms of size, colours, layout and fonts etc. A lot of full screenshots are cropped by flowing in from ‘off the page’ and then supplemented with more captions and zoomed in areas. The approach I decided to take was to try and illustrate the final objective instead of breaking down each step. We knew that most of the projects for Publisher would be multi-page, with potentially a lot more ground to cover than the projects in the Designer and Photo Workbooks. Ian: I had to give the art direction a lot of thought. What was your process for designing the Workbook? As we’re focused on quality, the book was subject to rigorous Quality Assurance checks as you’d expect both for its written content and all the downloadable files to follow along with the projects. This kept development distributed until we brought the Workbook together into one file. By using JIRA task assignment, chapters and projects were owned by authors or designers. How easy was it to multi-author?Īndy: The core team was about five people-a mix of technical authors and graphic designers working in a DropBox cloud environment. We had three main stages: Planning-Development-Book Assembly/Publishing. using internal and external commissions, all at different stages of development, the project and chapters were developed as independent Publisher files. ![]() How did you plan out and manage such a huge publication?Īndy: Because of the nature of the projects, i.e. We would also like to thank Fernando Martins Ribeiro for shooting some of the product photography and images for the cover. Ian: We also worked with some amazing designers, illustrators, and publishing experts from all over the world to bring you the rest of the projects, and we would like to say a big thanks to Eleni Debo, Roberta Burattini, Rosa Maglione, Steve Simpson, Sandi Dez, David Hussner, and our in-house graphic designer James Bates for their inspiring contributions. Emily Goater, our in-house Affinity Publisher product expert provided the Page Design Principles chapter, and we were also very pleased to commission Adam Banks, former Editor of MacUser, so he could share his 30 years of magazine publishing experience. You’ll see his design skills in action in the Workbook’s brochure and poster projects. Who was involved in its creation?Īndy: For starters, Ian brought many years of graphic design experience to the table, especially with page layouts. It’s packed with projects, tips and tricks, all supported by our Interface Tour and Core Skills chapters, as well as a DTP-specific Page Design Principles chapter. Tell us a bit about the Workbook.Īndy: Well, I think the most important point to make is that the Workbook was published entirely in Affinity Publisher! It is our largest book yet (544 pages) and has the same high production values as the already available Affinity Designer and Photo Workbooks. In this article, we speak to two key members of the team: our Head of Documentation Andy Capstick, who edited and co-authored the book, and our Creative Projects Manager Ian Cornwall, who directed the overall look and contributed three hands-on projects, to gain an insight into how it was created. It comes in both English and German language, and is now available to purchase on the Affinity Store. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Look for cracks that open up either side of the lever when it is down before purchasing a used U212.īTW, I didn't think much of the Slik pan/tilt head on this old model and since the elevator crank column also failed I removed the column and head and now have a Manfrotto 222 joystick head attached directly to the leg hub.

Moral of the story: Beware of plastic when picking a tripod, especially for load bearing parts and cranks.įWIW, I was going to buy a nice new tripod, but my other issue with tripods is weight. We only sorted them by the patterns of dirt on the legs. When we went to sort things out, both scalvert and I had U9000s, and both had the same broken crank. When we did our DPC get together a year ago, we met at a local mall and scalvert and others packed in my car and threw there stuff in the back. It is a nice tripod overall, but has a plastic crank for the center column. Don't know that tripod, but I have a Slik U9000. ![]() ![]() So, works, as does You can only put one full-stop between each character, so you may need to go through a couple of Gmail addresses. ![]() The beauty about Gmail is that you can put full-stops in-between letters, and they’re all recognised as valid emails, but crucially, Dropbox sees them as different ones.

But, who’s got 32 friends without Dropbox accounts, who want the service?įortunately, there’s a workaround, and you can quickly max out your storage with a little effort, but signing up for a load of accounts yourself. You can do this for real friends by going to and sending them an email from the page. So, what about 32GB of additional space instead?

If both waves happen to meet at a point in space while both oscillations are at their maximum, the wave we would see when we look at it would be a single wave, with twice the magnitude of each one separately. There are two interesting cases to talk about. Many waves are even simpler than that - the magnitude of the combined oscillation is simply the sum of both waves. When these two wave collide with, they add up to form a single disturbance. Now, imagine two identical waves travelling through space. It's a nice video that should teach you the basics of waves. I added a video from Veritasium's channel that talks about waves. For our purposes, we should consider a simple case where these waves are periodic in time. In the case of sound waves, for example, this "field" is the air-pressure around us - sound waves are simply disturbances to the air pressure that travel through space. We all know what waves are from our everyday lives, but what are they, really? and it's beautiful! One of my favorite wave phenomena are related to wave interference, which lead to interference patterns. Once you study what waves are, you begin to see them everywhere. In my opinion, it helps you develop intuition and see the world differently. This makes the study of waves an extremely important part of the education of physicists. Whether it's the waves on the surface of a pond or a vibrating string which are usually described by Newtons laws, light, which is an electromagnetic wave, gravity waves described by Einsteins theory, or miniature particles described by wave mechanics (aka Quantum Mechanics) - they all share many similar properties. There are many universalities to these theories, but my favorite is that they can all describe waves. You start with the basics - mechanics (Newton and his buddies from the 18th century), and gradually move towards the 19th century where you learn about electro-magnetism (Maxwell and such) and eventually you get to Quantum Mechanics and Einsteins relativity. So interference patterns look cool, but so are many other things!! why should we study them?Īs a physicist you get to study how things work. If you find physics interesting I suggest you read through (at least the introduction part!) before you skip to the pictures and videos and how-to's! * This instructable can seem a bit technical, so feel free to ask me stuff! I will also teach you how to use your laser to measure tiny objects, like the width of your hair!! It's super easy! Cameras – A camera works because the lens causes the light rays to refract.Long story short: You will learn how to observe interference patterns at home (using the cheapest laser point you got).Rainbow – Rainbows are formed when the rays of sunlight bend (refract) when they travel through rain drops.Glasses or Contacts – The lenses of glasses and contacts are designed to bend light in ways that help a persons improve vision.The following are examples of refraction that occur all around us. As a result, the light paths cross and the image appears to be flipped horizontally (left/right). This means that the light bends once when it travels through the glass cup into the water, and then it bends again when it travels out of the glass cup and into the air. ![]() Light travels fastest through air, a little slower through water, and even slower through glass. ![]() Light refracts as it passes from one medium to the next because it travels at different speeds through those mediums. air to water, water to air).ĭuring the experiment, the light traveled from the image through the air, then through the glass cup into the water, and finally out of the glass cup and into the air once more before it reached our eyes.
