  Pixels!

  I recall enjoying lots of early computer games in my childhood with pixel graphics, blurry textures and minimal amount of graphic effects. And who doesn't? They had definitely a tint of charm and best of them tried to put the gameplay and storyline before the picture. On the contrary most of the modern-era games look like they where shot by Bay or Spielberg in real life post-apocalyptic-underwater-space-whatever environment although being terribly dull inside. Today we're going to explore strange signal that originated from some point on Jupiter orbit in Project Amalthea: Battlegrounds world. The game is known for fast PVP battles but still have some PVE content and that new "dungeon" is among them. Meet Anomaly, 1-4 player co-op map in purple colors and in completely insane setting. And insane is not just a figure of speech. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31530132/6fab9b6494d27415db6b9ae3822587949c6fb1f8.jpg Protagonist is here to explore the source of strange signals causing navigation interference. Also the quest tasks on the right hints that an Alien ship is involved! But wait, what that means? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31530132/874e3c99309c2b497897c07660ba2cf7c4470bd8.png I thought that something is wrong with my video card until I realized that was an intentional graphics effect. Wow! The pixels are huge on regular screen and somewhat strobe when you move, but strobing effect is much less annoying on High-DPI display. (Don't forget to click the pictures to see full size image). Anyway I got used to it in a minute. Then I found that pixelation is not the only anomaly effect - all of location dwellers are little bit cuckoo. And after flying there for a few minutes I'd bet I'll be joining them rather sooner than later. That started with guys complaining about stars in their heads. Then a drone offered me a laser sight correction and called for a few dozens fellows to perform the correction albeit my refusal. Another one was eager to show me his beautiful rocket... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE...
