Night belongs to the game’s most dangerous creatures, malevolent ghosts called The Never that roam the darkness but avoid the light. Similarly, any of the resources you need for crafting items, buying materials, or hatching Spritelings repopulate with a rather generous frequency and no time limit to worry about, beyond the advice to not venture out at night. The Spritelings don’t go down as easily as their diminutive stature and general interchangeability might suggest, and unlike Pikmin, they’re less prone to accidental drowning and able to shake off a good number of attacks. You aren’t building and maintaining an unstoppable force so much as getting to whatever small number of Spritelings can comfortably solve environmental puzzles of the stand-on-this-switch and carry-this-boulder variety or deal with hazards like fire toads and noxious mushrooms.Ĭombined with some laidback, ethereal music, The Wild at Heart is a conspicuously more relaxed experience compared to the Pikmin games. Though your Spriteling corps grow over the course of the game, you begin with only a handful and, for a while, cap out around 20. The top-down perspective is quite zoomed in, amplifying the gorgeous details of the game’s storybook art style while necessitating a smaller-than- Pikmin play area where there are fewer creatures on screen at any given time. Various interface details like the small green circles to denote a foe’s health and the ghostly indicator of a felled Spriteling push the resemblance into territory that an uncharitable person might call “potentially litigious.”ĭeveloper Moonlight Kids does, though, manage to squeeze something different out of what is a familiar blueprint, opting for an intimately scaled, story-driven experience. And these Spritelings, like Pikmin, are color-coded to note their resistances to things like ice and fire, all of them making similarly chirpy noises while they work. After all, the game is set in a mysterious, magical forest and it finds young Wake and Kirby directing a gradually expanding horde of bipedal critters known as Spritelings, using strength in numbers to fend off hostile wildlife and transport heavy objects back to camp. Bee hives have to be vacuumed clean of bees before the Spritelings can break them down for goods.Despite centering on a pair of preteen runaways, The Wild at Heart will have a hard time shaking comparisons to the Pikmin series. Send the little ones to fight beforehand and they’ll get killed (though you can easily revive them nearby by spending specific materials). A horned insect had to be blown over by the Gustbuster before the Spritelings could attack. What I liked as I got further into the demo is how enemies eventually became more dangerous. The Spritelings are your mode of attack, knocking back enemies and poisonous mushrooms. The Spritelings are your Pikmin, and in this demo, you come across your base variety and a firebrand style. Soon you meet Grey Coat, a wizened Gandalf-looking fella who warns you of the perils of the woods and also encourages you to interact with the Spritelings to progress through the woods. You pick up a Gustbuster (read: your Poltergust and/or vacuum backpack) and immediately use the suction functionality to solve some puzzles and collect some in-game currency. He ran away from home and winds up in The Deep Woods. While the marketing promises two precocious kids, you only control one in this demo, a kid named Wake. All of this is promising, and that's before we get to the distinctive art style and animation and the fantastic soundtrack. It’s an electric fusion that makes for an enjoyable adventure. This game from Moonlight Kids features heavy inspiration from Pikmin with a little bit of 2D Luigi’s Mansion vacuuming and environmental puzzles. Currently, it's just set for a PC and Xbox One release sometime in 2021, but being as it seems like all indie games seem to come to Switch eventually and the fact this game specifically scratched Nintendo-like itches, here's my not-officially-a-preview hands-on of The Wild at Heart.Īs I worked my way through the demo, it struck me why I was enjoying it so much. After looking into the game a little more, I noticed that I missed something important: the game isn't actually confirmed for Nintendo Switch. I've been playing through the cavalcade of demos in the Steam Games Festival and after wrapping the demo of The Wild at Heart, I rushed to jot my thoughts down.

When he learns of oil-rich land in California that can be bought cheaply, he moves his operation there and begins manipulating and exploiting the local landowners into selling him their property. The film follows the rise to power of Daniel Plainview - a charismatic and ruthless oil prospector, driven to succeed by his intense hatred of others and desperate need to see any and all competitors fail.

However, there is a clear turning point in the story when it jumps forward several years. Third Plot Point: There isn’t a particularly clear Third Plot Point, in terms of a personal low moment, although we see Daniel spiraling deeper and deeper into madness. He is then blackmailed by the one hold-out landowner (necessary for Daniel complete his pipeline to the sea) into being baptized at Eli’s church. When Daniel gets Henry to admit this, he kills him. In fact, the real Henry died, and this man took his place, hoping to find work with Daniel. Second Pinch Point: Daniel pieces together clues about Henry and realizes he lied about being his brother. Shortly thereafter, he sends his son away to a deaf-mute boarding school, refusing even to see him off on the train. He tells Henry, in a Moment of Truth, that he doesn’t like other people. Although this is a relatively episodic plot point, it is what brings Daniel’s journey into focus. Midpoint: A man claiming to be Henry Plainview, Daniel’s illegitimate half-brother, arrives. Daniel lashes out at Eli (Paul’s brother), who claims to be a faith healer, and refuses to pay him the promised $5,000 for his church.

Over the coming years, we’ll continue to fill out on the East and West coasts, but we’re really focused now on developing the Midwest.” We’re having conversations with some folks there. We need to develop more in Riverside County. “We have several stores scheduled to be built in Los Angeles County. Dekker said it is planning on opening more. In Southern California, it has locations in San Gabriel, Artesia, Fountain Valley and Costa Mesa. Most of Bonchon’s 23 California restaurants are in the Bay Area. “We start at the urban center and then we can work our way out into the suburbs.” In opening new restaurants, the chain follows what Dekker called an “inside out strategy.” More than 115 locations are in the United States, according to Bonchon’s latest financial report in July. It began as full service but began opening smaller fast casual restaurants as well in 2021. The brand came to the United States in 2006.

In Riverside County, where home kitchens can be licensed, it is served out of people’s homes. It can be found in neighborhoods such as Koreatown, a few blocks between Western and Vermont avenues in Los Angeles, and in places where foodies gather, such as food halls and food trucks.

According to Dekker, it dates from the 1950s. Korean chicken doesn’t have the same penetration as Nashville chicken in Southern California, but it isn’t new. “It makes the outside really craveable and crunchy and keeps the inside really moist,” said Flynn Dekker, chief executive officer of Bonchon, a growing chain that serves chicken and other Asian dishes.

So, consider Googling your iPad’s model and see how much it can handle.įramerate, on the other hand, refers to how many frames are being drawn each second. However, some of the older generations can’t even handle 720P. The latest iPad can easily play videos up to 4K. But the thing is that videos with a higher resolution also require more powerful hardware to be played. The higher the resolution of a video, the better the overall image quality (Unless the bitrate is low – more about that in the FAQ section). Nowadays, 1920 x 1080 (1080P) is considered the sweet spot for most devices. Video resolution refers to the number of pixels that a video contains horizontally. Unfortunately, both video resolution and frame rate can also make a massive difference. Video formats and encoders are not the only things that can prevent you from enjoying your favorite movie. Again, more about that later towards the bottom of this article. But, that’s a problem that you can easily solve with either VLC or a converter such as UniConverter – depending on how powerful your PC is. Some operating systems such as Windows 10 don’t actually support this format out of the box. For example, 4K at 60FPS or 1080p at 240fps only works with HEVC. In some cases, you are pretty much forced to use HEVC due to its compression properties and efficiency. Newer iPad models use either the HEVC/H.265 or the MP4 format. M4V files can be DRM-protected and we assume that’s one of the main reasons why Apple prefers using it as their go-to format.īut keep in mind that video recording is a different matter. Default Video Formats for iPads – Apple’s Choiceīy default, iTunes, and, by extension, iPads as well, rely on the M4V video format. That said, do keep in mind that MP4 is generally the format that’s supported by most devices nowadays. The video resolution, aspect ratio, and framerate are much bigger factors. As long as the video is supported, it shouldn’t make too much of a noticeable difference if any at all. But, more about that later.ĭon’t worry too much about finding the best format. If you can’t open a video due to its file format or resolution, the most effective way of making it work is by relying on a video converter such as UniConverter. Unfortunately, among the most popular video formats, iPads do not support: And even if they did, it would be kind of meaningless due to their lower-resolution displays. But we assume that older iPads still don’t support it. Thankfully, iPadOS 14 now has support for the aforementioned codec. So, older iPads won’t be able to play them at all due to the unsupported encoder (And that’s leaving resolution aside – which is a topic for another day). Even if it’s in a supported video format.įor example, YouTube 4K videos may be MP4, but unlike their lower-resolution videos, YouTube 4K videos use the VP9 encoder. So, even if a video is encoded with a non-supported encoder, then you are not going to be able to play it no matter what. The most popular supported codecs for iPads are: If a supported video format is encoded with an unsupported encoder, it’s still not going to play. Mind you, video formats are not the same as encoders. AVI (only support AVI files that are compatible with the Mothion JPEG standards.)Īlong with animated images such as GIFs.Supported Video Formats and Codecs for iPad Devices And this is often not possible not only due to hardware limitations but also due to codec and format support across different devices – including iPads. The original, uncompressed video that we get is almost always converted and compressed – which means that you are always losing a bit of video quality unless you are playing the video straight from the source. Depending on the format, you can get different:Īnd it’s worth keeping in mind that all our everyday, common video formats are actually lossy. A video format is basically a file format for storing digital video data. Here is all you need to know about them! What is a Video Format? By default, certain devices, such as iPads, support only a limited number of video formats. Video formats can make all the difference not only in terms of video quality and file size – but also in compatibility. Have you ever tried to play a video on an iPad only to realize that it doesn’t work at all? Even though it works just fine on your PC? Then you already got a small taste of unsupported video formats for iPad devices.
