In N-Gage, the dueling system will be necessary to facilitate combat between two small parties or one on one combat. In this respect, N-Gage will step back and take several levels of sophistication off the accepted strategies to managing this kind of interaction under most roleplaying rule sets. This combat will consist of 3 major steps: targeting, acting, and reacting. This is very similar to zone / army style combat under this system, but there will be several significant differences. Now to detail each step:

Targeting

Targeting is simple enough. Which team or individual is acting first is determined by speed and then, in the order of their speed from slowest to fastest each character selects a target and states what they will attempt to do. According to whatever modulation the game master determines appropriate, the actions are evaluated, starting from fastest to slowest. However, these two steps are carried forward in a different way, as detailed in the following steps. Targeting ends after each character selects their target.

Acting

The acting character is the fastest, but there’s a trick involved with this kind of close quarters combat. Anyone nearby or with an appropriated skill or ability may choose to sacrifice actions, including the target, to react to things as they take place, negotiated through the game master. This is where the fastest acting character will have the most decisions to make, as unless they delay they will have to deal with being reacted to often. This means that the characters that can afford to play the most defensively will come out on top, where as those who are attacking must come up with a severe means of overcoming their opponents, all involving extensive discussion and roleplay. Where many games glaze over the details, many long conversations about skill level, difficult, physical effects, and the senses of the characters will be important. Sometimes these things will be stated out and determined within the campaign setting to streamline these discussions, as in N-Gage core. Once the acting individuals have selected their actions and the order of resolution, then the game carries forward into the reaction phase.

Reacting

This is perhaps the most difficult portion, as reacting requires knowledge of several things. To simply this process, every character that wishes to react instead of waiting until their turn to act states they wish to do so, and the game master one by one, starting from fastest to slowest, determines if they are able to do so. The fastest character obviously will face the most challenges, so they must one by one roll through the obstacles laid before them by the game master. Once this is resolved for the first, the same is done for the next, so on until the round is resolved.

End of Round

At the end of the round, anyone taking damage or changing status is evaluated by the game master, and their situation is explained to them. They may chose to back out or continue fighting, until the game master determines that combat is no longer possible or has been completed. This will usually involve a similar point system to the one mentioned earlier, where the last group or individual left after the others have reached negative five will be removed from combat.

Using this system, duels will flow according to the ability of the players to command their characters more and less according to their gear, stats or bonuses.

Iar au trecut cateva zile fara ca eu sa postez ceva nou pe blog. Nu stiu… cand vreau sa scriu cate ceva pe blog, raman fara idei. Joi, m-am uitat si eu la EMA. Mai bine nu ma uitam. Cred ca nervi cum am avut in seara aia, nu am avut tot anu’. Cum este posibil ca dintre Green Day, BEP, Kings of Leon, Tokio Hotel si Jonas Brothers sa ia Tokio Hotel premiul pentru “Best Group”??? WTF?!?! Ma bucur ca GD au luat premiul pentru Best rock si LP – Best World Stage Performance. Sa mai zic ca au luat aia de la Placebo – best alternative? Inca nu am ascultat (stiu doar 2-3 melodii, si alea nu-mi plac) in locul MUSE??? Cam aiurea. De fapt nu e CAM aiurea… e FOARTE aiurea.

In restul week end-ului am stat… Azi (duminica, 8 noiembrie) am fost centrala telefonica. Toate apelurile erau cam asa “-Alo! Da. -La multi ani!! <si alte urari> -Multumesc! -Hai pa! -Pa!”. Ultimul care sunat (a se citi: a incercat sa ma sune) a fost marean. V-am zis cat iubesc functia de blacklist din Kaspersy Mobile Security? Banuiesc ca nu… acum aflati. E ceva gen ignore pe mess. Singura diferenta e ca se aprinde ecranul cand respinge. E ca si cum apare si dispare instantaneu fereastra de mess. Whatever… nu cred ca intereseaza pe cineva… cu ocazia asta vreau sa le urez a tutti Mihaii si Gabrielii (Mihaielilii si Gabrielilii) La multi ani! Multa sanatate, fericire, noroc si tot ce-si doresc…

Zilele astea imi vine router-ul oierles (wireless pentru dasteptii care-mi citesc blogu’) Am pus ochii pe un ASUS RT-N11 acum ceva timp.  Cine se joaca mile high pinball pe n-gage cu mine? (e singurul joc original cu multiplayer. Mai am si altele dar nu au MP) ) Imi place ca am netul cu mine oriunde ma duc (prin casa), chiar si pe wc. Si asa stateam eu mult… atunci o sa pot sa imi fac de lucru ).

Inca o aberatie de-a mea Aseara stateam si ma gandeam la previziuni dupa ce am citit pe un blog un post in care autorul intreba daca ne-ar place sa vedem in viitor ce vom face. Daca am putea sa vedem in viitor orice, nu ar fi ca si cum ne-am intoarce in trecut si ne-am anunta ce urmeaza sa facem, si asa ar interveni “the butterfly effect”?? Apropo… pentru cei care inca nu l-au vazut, uitati-va la el! Merita E super!!

Cabe Aclarar que este fue el tutorial que me sirvio, mas no me funciono lo del N-gage, solo el hackeo.

Jetzt wurde bekannt, dass Nokia seinen N-Gage-Dienst einstellt. Voraussichtliches Ende ist September 2010. Die Spieleplattform war ihrer Zeit voraus. Sonst ist es eigentlich immer Apple, das der Zeit voraus ist und an seiner Vision scheitert. Der Newton ist das beste Beispiel. Dieses Mal hat es Nokia erwischt und Apple zieht mit der Spieleplattform iPhone und iPod touch als Sieger vom Platz.

Ich weiß noch, als ich auf einer Games Convention in Leipzig das N-Gage als Gerät näher anschaute. Es war die Entwicklerkonferenz und die Idee überzeugte mich. Mobile Spiele – genial. Wir hatten uns damals an den GameBoy und das Atari Lynx für unterwegs gewöhnt, aber mit dem N-Gage konnte man sogar noch telefonieren. Wir überlegen uns damals im Verlag, ob mobile Gaming nicht ein Marktzweig für Zeitschriften werden wird. Wir haben es dann doch nicht gemacht, obwohl ich extra nach Marseille gereist bin und Jury-Mitglied eines Handywettbewerbs von Autodesk war, der sich vor allem um N-Gage drehte. Nun, Marseille war schön.

Als eigenständiges Gaming-Mobilgerät war das N-Gage ein kompletter Flop. Als Rettungsanker wagten die Finnen einen neuen Versuch im April 2009: N-Gage war als Download-Spieleservice für gängige Nokia-Smartphones verfügbar. Und Nokia-Handys gibt es ja viele. Doch damit ist nun auch Schluss. Nokia ist gescheitert auf der ganzen Linie. An die Stelle von N-Gage tritt der Ovi Store. Da gibt es heute schon rund 100 Spiele und es sollen die N-Gage-Spiele hinzu kommen.

Als mobile Spielekonsole mit Telefon hat sich bei mir das iPhone durchgesetzt. Hier sind innovative Games zu finden. Schade Nokia.

Nokia se ha marcado como prioridad plantar cara al enorme éxito cosechado por Apple con su App Store. Eso significa que la empresa potenciará su propia tienda Ovi Store y, de rebote, acabar en 2010 con la marca N-Gage y sus juegos. La desaparición será gradual, de modo que el próximo año aún funcionarán las opciones de comunidad y la tienda seguirá abierta hasta septiembre.

N-Gage llegó al mercado en 2003 con el objetivo de reunir en mismo dispositivo teléfono móvil y videoconsola. En 2008, Nokia relanzó la marca pero esta vez como una plataforma para distribuir juegos en varios de sus teléfonos móviles, y no ya como un dispositivo en concreto.

Un portavoz de Nokia ha aclarado: “La Ovi Store será el nuevo núcleo para todos los juegos para móviles que Nokia y otras editoras ofrezcan de ahora en adelante. Ya no publicaremos más juegos para la plataforma N-Gage.”

Essa semana o blog N-Gage explicou que a plataforma tem data para acabar, Setembro de 2010, quando todos os jogos passarão a ser vendidos na Ovi Store.

As licenças dos jogos comprados até essa data serão válidas, isso quer dizer que os atuais usuários da plataforma podem ficar sossegados e continuar a jogar seus games favoritos no celular sem medo de pararem de funcionar em Setembro do ano que vem.

Mas e os pontos que os jogadores têm guardados no N-Gage Arena? Milhares de milhares de pontos e records em jogos estão armazenados lá. Esse problema ainda não tem solução neste momento, mas no post o autor diz que estão trabalhando numa solução dentro da plataforma Ovi. Imagino que nasça um Ovi Games dessa demanda. Ou um Ovi Arena.

Então já sabem, se quiserem jogos a partir de agora, visitem store.ovi.com/games.

Siitä lähtien kun Ovi Store perustettiin on odoteltu koska Nokia ilmoittaa erillisen N-Gage palvelunsa lopettamisesta ja nyt se odotus on loppu. Nokia kuoppaa erillisen N-Gage palvelunsa ja myy pelit vastedes Ovi Storen kautta. Media on repinyt aiheesta isoja otsikoita, mutta en itse näe tässä mitään dramaattista. Nokia myy edelleen pelejä tulevaisuudessakin ja sen laitteilla voi edelleen pelata pelejä. Tällä hetkellä esimerkiksi N97:lle löytyy Ovi Storesta 270 peliä, enemmän kuin N-Gage palvelusta. Toki N-Gagen yhteisöpalvelut sitten häviävät ellei Nokia integroi niitä jotenkin mukaan Oviin.

Asiasta kolmenteen tälläiseen videoon törmäsin Nokian conversation saitin kautta. En tiennytkään että Nokian luurissa voi vaihtaa fonttia. Näyttää aika hienolta.

Mobile operator says there will be no more games published and the N-Gage service will shut down by the end of 2010…. From BBC News. Full story

Nokia is going to close its N-Gage gaming platform by end of 2010. No games would be available on there N-Gage site in next year and all the games would now be available on Ovi app store. Also Nokia won’t pre install N-Gage application on its new devices anymore instead new devices would come with Ovi store app pre installed. Also N-Gage applications could be downloaded from third party websites. It been seen that N-Gage was not that popular or able to capture the required market share so in a way its good for Nokia to bury the dead and focus on the future.

HELSINKI – Nokia bakal menghentikan penerbitan game baru untuk platform N-gage. Rencananya Nokia, akan menutup situs N-Gage.com beserta komunitasnya pada akhir tahun depan.

Namun Nokia, menyatakan tetap akan melakukan penjualan game-game untuk N-Gage hingga September 2010.

Setelah menutup N-gage.com, Nokia tetap akan menjual game-game di luar Plat Form N-Gage di toko aplikasi Nokia, Ovi Store. Di Toko aplikasi itu Nokia, tak hanya berkonsentrasi pada game saja, tapi juga pada musik.

“Tak lama lagi kami akan menghentikan penerbitan game baru untuk N-gage Platform,” tulis Nokia dalam blognya seperti dilansir AsiaOne, Minggu (2/11/2009).

Nokia menambahkan, langkah tersebut sejalan dengan perkembangan mobile gaming. Produsen ponsel asal Finlandia itu menawarkan satu toko dengan sederet portofolio game yang lebih luas.

N-gage merupakan ponsel game yang telah dikembangkan Nokia sejak tahun 2003. Sejumlah pengembang game seperti Electronics Arts, Gameloft, Glu Mobile dan Digital Chocolate telah bekerjasama dengan Nokia untuk membuat game-game N-Gage. (ugo)

Nokia, oh great Nokia, ruler of the mobile phone world has just lost a rib. A rib that has been a bother even in times of joy: when it was all profit that is.
N-gage, poor N-gage even your dad’s riches could not keep you going and going and eventually daddy has had enough. N-gage a step-child Nokia wanted to be recognized as an heir of the gaming world could not stand on its own two or four or eight legs however many it had.
Well I stand here today to announce that N-gage is being taken from among the children to be made a servant to Nokia’s babies. N-gage’s services will be seen at Ovi store scattered in a section called games.
N-gage is dead you guys, N-gage was dead! Oh N-gage rest in perfect peace! Competition was never your game so Ovi is clearly great for you. Looking forward to seeing your handiwork at the Ovi store- Akanman

It didn’t have much chance before the iPhone.  Click here to read how.

Es war abzusehen: Nokia stellt die auch im zweiten Anlauf gescheiterte N-Gage-Plattform ein.

Nokia anuncia el final de uno de sus servicios más duraderos, uno que se inició como un modelo de terminal pero que al final acabó como una plataforma de pequeños videojuegos, n-gage. Esta plataforma que ha estado viva durante bastantes años muere con una presencia mínima y con problemas con desarrolladores.

Nokia ha comentado que dejará de publicar nuevos juegos y que los disponibles hoy en día en la Ovi Storeseguirán estando disponibles hasta septiembre de 2010, en ese momento desaparecerán. Es una pena, no eran ninguna maravilla, pero quizá una nueva generación que soporten los nuevos terminales más potentes con Maemo hubiese estado bien verlo.

De cualquier forma no es ni mucho menos el fin de los juegos en terminales Nokia, solo el final de los publicados por la propia compañía en esta pequeña red social.

Bang, bang, n-Gage: you’re dead. Again. Maybe for the last time. Here’s a short look at your meaningless life.

You were born but a hyped, sidetalking Taco. Then, after we had our laughs for several years, papa Nokia ditched your dedicated hardware and opened it up to phones of all kinds—as long as they said N-O-K-I-A on them. It was a smart move. Because you sell lots of phones, and if your gaming platform was to live, it needed to be on as many of those as possible. It looked ok at this point, as a platform and service. And the hardware was nice at times. But that didn’t change the fact that no one I know ever talked about you, n-Gage, much less played with you. The button layouts, games and online vs modes never really came together as well as you’d liked in terms of people buying and using it. Why? I don’t know. I guess, at least in America, we couldn’t get the handsets for less than the price of 5 Nintendo DSes. But beyond that, you never had any games that people cared about, despite having signed up companies like EA so easily because papa Nokia was still number one. And every year at E3, your booth was like a buzz-vacuum. So, I can’t say we’ll miss you. We hardly knew you were there. But let’s just chalk this up to more high end consumer failure to excite at Nokia, which has been a trend of late.

I’m done. Honestly, this much word count on nGage is charity, even as a farewell. See ya. Hope we never have to see you again. But the word is, you’ll probably just fold some games of yours into a general app store. The dead never stay dead for long in the gadget game.

Nokia is now zero for three when it comes to mobile gaming; the company said it will shut down down its N-Gage service next year and fold it into its Ovi brand of mobile data offerings. The doomed service rose from the ashes of the game-centric phone of the same name that proved an epic failure after its 2003 launch.

The emergence of the iPhone has proven that a real market exists for mobile games, but Nokia for years has failed to grow its gaming business beyond a small crowd of users on high-end phones. There may yet be a market for a phone built specifically for gamers (as opposed to a mass-market handset with decent gaming features like the iPhone),which is why Sony Ericsson should try its hand with a PSP phone.

But the N-Gage service seemed unnecessary and confusing given the presence of Ovi, an umbrella brand that includes an app store for Nokia users. If Ovi truly gains mass market traction among smartphone users in Western markets, the existence of a separately branded service exclusively for gamers doesn’t make sense anyway.
