![]() 2020 saw growth in both flavours of the game which is fantastic and has helped us reach record combined membership levels this year. For other players who are looking for a higher fidelity experience with more modern features and presentation, we provide that option as well. This was really about giving players a choice, so for those that remember the game they played back in the computer lab at school, or on their parents laptop, can experience the game exactly as they remember it. Matt Casey - Dave nailed it, but I’d also add that we made a brave decision to branch the game back in 2013 with the launch of Old School RuneScape. It’s like waiting eagerly for the next story in your favourite series. You can play for free and get a portion of the game map, quests and skills, but you are missing out on the constant supply of new content, new stories and new skills to train, and to be a part of that you need a subscription. It’s a bustling little game, and that bustle comes as a benefit for being a subscriber. We release substantial, episodic content every month, with patch weeks and events running on top of that. What do you think spurs that interest? Why do so many people pay when the base game is already free?ĭave Osborne - We actually think of ourselves as a subscription game. Jagneaux: Hitting a new all-time record number of paid subscribers at 1.2M in 2020 is a huge deal. RuneScape can be played intensely with exciting combat and precision skilling, but it can also be a very relaxing experience, with many players spending hours making use of the more AFK aspects of the game, making progress in a second screen while engaging in other activities, such as watching a TV show, shopping or maybe even working. RuneScape also differs significantly by offering lean-back gameplay. They remind me very much of the LucasArts point-and-click classics like Monkey Island and Loom, with bizarre characters and proper head-scratching puzzles. I particularly love the many intricate quests that RuneScape has which are rarely seen in other games these days. Laced with whimsical storytelling, and a good dose of British humour (dad jokes and puns a specialty), RuneScape is the perfect antidote to the swathes of cookie-cutter MMORPGs that exist today. Matt Casey - I think RuneScape offers a genuinely alternative fantasy experience that is at once deep, clever and extraordinarily compelling. This is the RuneScape world in its entirety, but with controls and interfaces that are tailored for mobile. ![]() That last one can’t be understated enough, as RuneScape is the first MMO that is coming to mobile without making any concessions like chopping out content or porting over PC controls. Now, that reasonably low barrier means that RuneScape is well-placed to be multi-platform, as shown by us coming to Steam in 2020 and mobile in 2021. ![]() In the early days, that meant people could play in libraries or quickly boot it up on a browser round a friend’s house. RuneScape doesn’t make high demands of the platform you play it on. In today's market, what helps RuneScape differentiate itself the most?ĭave Osborne - The things that differentiated RuneScape 20 years ago are still doing a decent job of making us stand out today. With high-end subscription games like WoW and FFXIV continuing to go strong, buy-to-play games like Guild Wars 2 and ESO chugging away, and countless other free-to-play games across mobile, PC, and console, there are so many options for people. Jagneaux: The MMO space is more competitive now than ever. The game has a wonderfully evergreen design which encourages players to be good to one another and becomes meaningfully social with the community building genuine friendships, many of which have lasted as long as the game itself. We empower our players to have a say in the future of the game through our polls, social channels, surveys and more recently, collaborative design sessions over Zoom during lockdown conditions. Alive and ever-evolving for 7,306 (count ’em) days, the game brings a world that is continually changing and gives our players new experiences and adventures all the time. Matt Casey, Product Director: RuneScape is a living game. Players might come to RuneScape for the humorous tone, the lower specs needed to play, or because it’s on mobile, but I believe it’s the bond with the player character that has kept people playing for that crazy 20 years. Your avatar becomes the trophy for everything you’ve done in RuneScape. There are few reasons to create a second account, as RuneScape doesn’t offer varying player classes, so every choice you make and every increment of progress is stacked on top of the character. Dave Osborne, Lead Designer: I would say it’s the relationship a player forms with their character.

Subtle differences in sharpness and detail when pixel peeping.Your RAW files are still going to hog up space. One-time download: you only need to make a purchase again if you want updates after the first year.Smaller file sizes mean faster web uploads and less money paid for cloud storage.Faster performance than previous versions.Plug-ins for Capture One, Lightroom, and Photoshop.Reduces file size without a very noticeable difference in image quality.I’m giving JPEGmini five out of five stars. However, pixel peepers may not want to convert all their photos. These differences are hard to spot when viewing photos on the web or admiring a print from a typical distance. But, there are subtle differences in sharpness and detail. JPEGmini is an excellent tool for resizing photos for the web or backing up photos without paying for a huge amount of cloud storage. After that, existing users receive a 30 percent discount if they want the newest version. It’s $59 for the stand-alone app only, or $89 for the full suite with plug-ins. The app works as a stand-alone or a plug-in with Capture One, Lightroom, or Photoshop, which means photographers can integrate the software into a workflow without exporting twice.īest of all, JPEGmini isn’t yet another monthly subscription to pay for. That’s means an incredible difference in upload speed of photos to cloud storage, improving website load times, and more. The software cut the size of my JPEGs by more than half, yet the quality was 95 percent of the original. JPEGmini does an excellent job drastically reducing the file size of photos without drastically reducing quality. JPEGmini is an integral tool for any photographer shooting photos for the web. I was doubtful about JPEGmini’s claim to reduce file size without impacting overall image quality. Video was added to the tool last year, and version 3.5 now supports AVC files and MV4, while the software’s overall performance is boosted. JPEGmini is a photo compression software that reduces the size of JPEGs while maintaining the file’s actual pixel dimensions. But, after just adding yet another external hard drive to stash all my files, I thought, “It couldn’t hurt to try it out, right?” I’ve always scrolled past the ads for JPEGmini, thinking there’s no way to get a smaller file without some sort of impact on quality. I’m still delivering weddings on USB drives because uploading a few hundred full-resolution JPEGs would literally tie up my internet for a week, while I can snail mail a USB drive and actually have it arrive in a few days. That’s especially true as a photographer living in a rural area with poor internet speed.

Once you have the desired color, simply pour the resin into the clean vat of your printer and start your print as you normally would. Remember, you can easily add more dye to get the color you want, but if you go too dark you will need to dilute it with higher amounts of resin. Add Resin to Disposable Cup Slowly Add Dye to Resin Mix Dye and Resin Thoroughly Check for Color If it needs more dye, add it a few drops at a time. Give the dye a minute or two to dissolve into the resin and check to see if the color is where you want it. Mix it thoroughly with a stick, tongue depressor or whatever you have handy. Open your bottle of pigment and add just a few drops. Of course, add a bit more than needed to ensure you don’t run out. I poured enough resin to complete the model I intended to print. The instructions for dyeing your prints are pretty simple. I will update this page with photos when my photographer friend is able to help me out. Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of this, as my camera only takes blurry photos when the lights are out. The result was a print that had almost a starry type of glow. I purchased this set ( ) and stirred it into the resin before printing. I had to use half a bottle of pigment to dye a single rook that would glow in the dark enough to be noticable.Ĭreating glow-in-the-dark prints is the one instance where I would recommend a powder over a liquid. The liquid colorant required a substantial amount of dye to result in a print that would glow. I purchased three different brands of GID pigment and had mixed results. If you want to use Glow-in-the-Dark pigments, things get a bit tricker. – Crystal Transparent Epoxy Resin Dye for UV Resin Coloringīoth of these worked equally as well and mixed great with the resin I was using.– Liquid Epoxy Resin Dye Transparent Colorant for UV Resin Coloring.Recommendations based on pigments I have used: A coarsely ground pigment might be too larger for the tiny layers of resin 3D printers. If you use powdered pigments, however, you will want to make sure you choose something that is finely ground. In my experience, liquid works the best, but I know some people who have had experience with powdered pigments. You will want to use dyes specifically formulated for use with UV resin. Since most of you are probably reading this to get the correct answer, I’m going to start with that. The longer answer – only if you do it right. Many have asked if it’s possible to dye the resin they use for 3D printing. ![]() In 1997, McKnight recorded "Remember the Magic" for Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary.
