Mida vanem on film, seda tõenäolisem on, et imeseade on juba valmis või pareminigi tehtud. Selline on digimaailm, kus elame. Tulevik on iga päevaga lähe- mal ja uudsete asjade väljamõtlemise kriisis olevad sci-fi kirjanikud üha rohkem kiruvad, et nad sellise ameti endale võtsid. Meie oleme oma südameasjaks võtnud, et ka ta- valine inimene, keda vähegi huvitab elu mugava- maks tegev tehnika, saaks end uudsega kursis hoida. „Värske kraam“ on just selleks otstarbeks lugejatele tehtud. Seekord teatame selles rubriigis, et näiteks paari aasta pärast saavad digikaamerate optikaks olema tõenäoliselt vedelikläätsed. Fotokate hind ja mass vähenevad. Huvitav mõelda kaugete aastate ta- gusele vestlusele poolvennaga, kus ma noore nolgi- na uurisin, et „miks digikaamerad ei ole nii kvaliteet- sed kui tavalised“. Ja teisele kõnelusele, et „küll oleks lahe kui mobiil ja digikaamera oleks samas kestas“. Praeguseks mul sellist aparaati ikka veel pole. Kuid väike vedellääts ja mobiiltelefoni pildikvaliteedi suu- renemine paneb meid tehnoloogiat ootama. Lõpetuseks. [digi]-l on sõpru, kes meile nänni an- navad.

  • FACT SHEET Developer: Frozenbyte Publisher: Gametrust Platform
    FACT SHEET Developer: Frozenbyte Publisher: GameTrust Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Rogue-like Strategy and Action Players: Single-player Availability: March 2017 OVERVIEW Has-Been Heroes is a challenging, rogue-like game of strategy and action, featuring a band of heroes on a quest to escort the King's twin princesses to the Princess Academy. The player controls three characters and must focus on combining hundreds of different spells to create devastating combo effects that can be used against enemies along the way. The rewarding, strategy game features irreverent humor, expanding world maps and increasing levels of difficulty. Players will stay focused and engaged in the gameplay as the quantity and randomness of spells and items allow for thousands of new experiences and will force the player to change their game style each time, while the specter of permadeath could cause the player to lose everything! Developed by Frozenbyte and published by GameTrust, Has-Been Heroes is coming soon to Nintendo’s new game system, Nintendo Switch. STORYLINE The teeth of time chew on even the bravest of champions, and there comes a time when wizened old mages and warriors are just one last adventure away from retirement. Thankfully, a young rogue joins the heroic Has-Been Heroes, for who else can read the tiny text on those potion bottles and assist the “rusty” crew? The rogue comes along not a moment too soon, for King Fortinbrax has summoned his oldest, most trusted heroes for a final, epic quest. The heroes must escort the twin Princesses Avaline and Beatrix to a faraway Princess Academy - but the road is long and fraught with peril.

Abstract Rosén, J. 2009. Hyperdistribution and the future of copyright economics A study of the contemporary Nordic Gaming industry. Master thesis. This interdisciplinary study shows that because of the changing demands from consumer caused by the growing influence of the internet and file-sharing the Nordic Gaming industry is going through an economic evolution. This result was derived by using qualitative questionnaires directed towards Gaming industry decision makers in the Nordic region combined with critical discourse analysis based on the methodology of Norman Fairclough, using theories of different characters to understand the field. In this thesis the case of the Nordic Gaming industry is used to assert that because of changing demands of consumers and an ever growing piracy movement, societies are evolving into transitional economies where it is increasingly harder to sell products consisting of pure information.

    FACT SHEET Developer: Frozenbyte Publisher: GameTrust Platform: Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, XBOX One Genre: Rogue-like Strategy and Action Players: Single-player Availability: March 28, 2017 Price: $19.99 USD OVERVIEW Has-Been Heroes is a challenging, rogue-like game of strategy and action, featuring a band of heroes on a quest to escort the King's twin princesses to the Princess Academy. The player controls three characters and must focus on combining hundreds of different spells to create devastating combo effects that can be used against enemies along the way. The rewarding, strategy game features irreverent humor, expanding world maps and increasing levels of difficulty. Players will stay focused and engaged in the gameplay as the quantity and randomness of spells and items allow for thousands of new experiences and will force the player to change their game style each time, while the specter of permadeath could cause the player to lose everything! STORYLINE The teeth of time chew on even the bravest of champions, and there comes a time when wizened old mages and warriors are just one last adventure away from retirement. Thankfully, a young rogue joins the heroic Has-Been Heroes, for who else can read the tiny text on those potion bottles and assist the “rusty” crew? The rogue comes along not a moment too soon, for King Fortinbrax has summoned his oldest, most trusted heroes for a final, epic quest. The heroes must escort the twin Princesses Avaline and Beatrix to a faraway Princess Academy - but the road is long and fraught with peril.
