Oddmar

Umdlalo we-Oddmar ngumdlalo wesenzo somgijimi osheshayo ohambisa esigabeni esisodwa, ogqugquzelwa yinganekwane yaseNorse ukuze ubalise indaba yeqhawe lamaViking elihlazo elithola ukuthethelelwa ngokusebenzisa uhambo olugcwele ubungqaboshebe, oludwetshwe ngesandla. Yathuthukiswa yiqembu elincane, elihlakazekile elake lenza umdlalo odume kakhulu ku-mobile, i-Leo’s Fortune, umdlalo waqala ukukhishwa ku-iOS ngo-Ephreli 2018, kanti kamuva wafika ku-Android, Nintendo Switch, kanye ne-PC. Nakuba imishini yayo ejwayelekile ijwayelekile—ukugijima, ukugxuma, ukugwaza, nokuxazulula izimfihlakalo zemvelo—i-Oddmar izihlukanisa ngokuveza okumangalisa, ukuklama kwezinga elihlakaniphile, kanye nendaba ephakamisa isakhiwo esivamile somgijimi ngobuntu. Isihlabani, u-Oddmar, liqhawe lamaViking elikhulu kodwa elithandekayo elingelona elakubo, ukuntuleka kwakhe isibindi kumenza enze imisebenzi emincane yomphakathi wakubo. Ngemuva kokuhlangana okungaqondakali nentombazane yasehlathini, uthola amakhowe anomlingo amnika amandla okugijima esibhakabhakeni kanye nekhono lokushisa izithiyo. Eqhutshwa yisithembiso sokuba yiqhawe elidumile, uyazikhandla ukuze afakazele ukubaluleka kwakhe, elwa nezintshe, imimoya, kanye nezitha ezinkulu kuleveli ezingama-24 ezimile ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene: amahlathi aluhlaza njalo, izintaba eziyisithwathwa, izithando zomlilo ezigcwele ilava, kanye nezindawo zokuphupha ezingaqondakali. Iliveli ngalinye ligcizelelwa yimifanekiso yesigaba esiphikile ekhumbuza izithombe ezidwetshwe ngesandla ezivela emikhakheni yaseYurophu, edlalwa umbalisi oyedwa indaba yakhe ehlekisayo enikeza ubuntu nomvumo. Ukudlala kuhlanganisa ukunemba kwemidlalo yakudala ye-16-bit kanye nezilawuli zesikrini zokuthinta zanamuhla. Abadlali bacindezela noma bashupha ukugxuma, ukugijima, ukumuka, noma ukuphonsa isichithi; ku-Switch kanye ne-PC lezi zenzo zibekwe ezinkinobheni nezinduku zokudlalela. Ukugijima kuyisihluthulelo semishini—sasetshenziswa ukuwela izikhala, ukuphuma ezindongeni, nokuthola ukuphakama—okuholela ekuklameni kwezinga okubuyisela ukuzama. Ezinganekwaneni kukhona "izimpawu zeValkyrie" ezivula izindawo zokuhlola ezingafunekiyo: izindawo ezincane ezinezingozi ezibulalayo ezigcizelela isikhathi kanye nokuqonda izakhiwo. Abadali babeka isilinganiso esihle sobunzima: sivulelekile ekuqaleni, kodwa siphethe izimpi zabaphathi eziningi ezidinga ukuzigcwalisa ngokuhamba kanye nezinketho ezisheshayo. Uhlelo lokushaya izinkanyezi ezintathu zesikhathi, izinto eziqoqwayo, kanye nokufa lukhuthaza ukudlala kabusha kwabaphelele kodwa kuhlala ngokuzithandela abadlali abajwayelekile. Isitayela se-Oddmar singase sibe yisici salo esidume kakhulu. Zonke izithombe zidwetshwa futhi zenzelwa ngesandla, ziveza izizinda eziyinkimbinkimbi, izithombe zezinhlamvu eziphumelelayo, kanye nokunyakaza okubushelela okufana ne-cartoon yanamuhla. Umbala wakhiwa ngokulinganisela imibala yenhlabathi ngokudayiswa okugcizelelwe, ugqugquzela kokubili ukuhlanganiswa kwendaba yamaViking nokuzijabulisa kwendaba yenganekwane. Imiphumela yokukhanyisa okuguquguqukayo namasistimu ezinhlamvu—imvula encane eneqhwa, umlotha omoyizayo, amanzi acwebezelayo—kwengeza ubujama ngaphandle kokubhidliza izithombe ezincane emakhaleni amancane. Umculo we-orchestral, owenziwa nguPärt Uusberg nabanye, uhlanganisa izinsimbi zendabuko yaseNordic nezintambo zama-cinematic, eziguquguqukayo kusukela ezingomeni ezihlabayo zasemakhaya kuya ezintweni ezimbalwa ezilwayo. Ukusebenza kwe-foley kanye nokukhulunywa kwezilwane kwandisa ukucwilisa, kuyilapho izinto ezihlekisayo kanye nokuphawula okukhulumayo kwenza u-Oddmar abe yiqhawe elingadumile. Ukwakhiwa kwaqala cishe ngo-2015 ngaphansi kwegama le-studio i-MobGe, kamuva labambisana nomshicileli waseTurkey uCrescent Moon, nangemidlalo ye-console/PC, ne-Game Makers yase-UK. Iqembu libala imiphumela efana ne-Rayman Legends, i-Don Bluth animation, kanye nokugxila kwendaba kwama-Pixar shorts. Ukwakha injini eyinkimbinkimbi eyayikwazi ukubhekana ne-physics ebushelelezi, izinto ezisezingeni eliphezulu, kanye nokusebenza okuzinzile kwe-60 fps kumadivayisi eselula kwakunezinkinga zezinto ezitholakalayo. Kunokuba imishini ethuthukisiwe, abaculi benza izinkulungwane zezithombe ezenziwe ngesandla, ngakho izindlela zokucindezela zazidingeka ukuze kugcinwe usayizi wefayela uvuleleke. Ergonomics yesikrini sokuthinta yakha isakhiwo sezilawuli: isakhiwo sezithupha ezimbili esinemishayo yezimo sifuna ukunciphisa izinkinobho ezisesikrinini. Ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-iOS, amabhembu enze ngcono ukubuyisela, afaka ukwesekwa kwezicindezeli ze-MFi, futhi enza izinto ezibhalwe ngezilimi eziningi. Ukwamukelwa okubuyekeziwe kwakunjengokuncoma kakhulu. Ababuyekezi bancoma ubuciko, imishini eqediwe, kanye nendaba encane—abaningi bebayichitha kwabanye abenza imidlalo yakwaNintendo naphezu kwemvelaphi yomdlalo eyindabuko. Abanye abagxeki babona ukuthi ubude obuyimizuzu emine kuya kwemihlanu bubuyekethile, futhi abambalwa bagcizelela ukufundwa okungahambisani kwezinketho kumadivayisi amadala, kodwa lezi zici zazingezincane kakhulu kunezingxoxo eziningi. U-Oddmar uthole umklomelo we-Apple Design Award ngo-2018, wamenywa ukuba azowine umklomelo we-D.I.C.E. Award in Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game, futhi waba khona ohlwini lwama-year-end best-of kusukela ku-TouchArcade, Pocket Gamer, kanye nePolygon. Ngokwezohwebo, kulandele imodeli yokubiza yentengo ephakeme—ejwayelekile emakethe yeselula edumile ngokudlalwa mahhala—kodwa kwenza kahle ngokukhulumela okunamandla nokudayisa ngezikhathi ezithile.
