If the players' shields are on this enemy can "sap" the power from the submarine momentarily. (As a general rule, this range should be within the submarine pilot's view so that players can know ahead of time where the projectiles will be coming from.) Sappers - An enemy that is attracted to the electric field that the submarine gives off when its shields are on. Shooters - An enemy that shoots projectiles at the submarine when in range. When a charger hits the submarine with its charge, it jolts the submarine as if the submarine had hit a rock wall, stunting the sub's movement momentarily. Chargers - An enemy that swims around the submarine when aggro-ed only to occasionally stop and build up a "charge" which, when unleashed, sends it charging like a rhino in the direction of the submarine. Whether it be via tentacles, barnacles, crabs, etc. Invaders - An enemy that invades the submarine's interior space. It may also be logically removed via destruction of any invaders that act as its appendages. Cannot be removed via cannon, can be knocked off by bashing the sub against a nearby wall. Grabbers - An enemy that swims toward the submarine when aggro-ed, and grabs onto the submarine, causing the submarine to move slightly slower due to the added weight. Here are a few example enemy "classes" in our game: Biters - An enemy that swims near the sub and bites it when aggro-ed, causing a break or breaks in the sub's hull. So let me give you folks an example of how the class system works, and how it has helped streamline the design process. And in this case, it helps form follow function. The Enemy Class system helps us address this problem, and helps us as designers decide what role each class can play in the game, and how they can best be taken advantage of. This comes from the fact that I decided to draw something cool BEFORE figuring out what it should do. But given how much space this guy has to turn his head, coupled with the fact that players can only shoot him in the same spot that the projectiles are coming from, makes this an oddly designed and potentially frustrating enemy. Because in this case, I decided that he would shoot projectiles out of his mouth. Problem solved, yeah? Well no, not quite. To give an example, here's an enemy I drew a while back back before the enemy class system was established: Does it look unique? Sure, but what does it do? One may presume that the shell can't be attacked, but how on earth does this thing go about attacking players? Well after drawing it, I decided it would be a projectile enemy. Make it easier to design enemies based on function over looks first. Help teach enemy rules to the players in an easily explainable way, and B. Inspired a bit from the way Left 4 Dead handles enemies, and the need to have consistent rules in our game regarding enemies, we came up with a Class System for our enemies. Alrighty so in today's Shark Week update, I wanna tell you folks a bit about the Enemy Class System. So I guess technically it should be called "Enemy Week" in our case, but that's not as catchy. Hey everyone! So this week we thought we'd do something kinda fun, and have a series of Shark Week-related devlog posts! Every other day this week (meaning today, Wednesday, and Friday) there will be a new post regarding information about how we're going about doing enemies in our game.

The efficiency of the CMA pathway can be affected by the velocity of assembly and disassembly of the LAMP2A translocation complex. After the substrate translocates into the lysosome lumen, the LAMP2A multimer disassembles into monomers and returns to the cytosol for reuse. The binding between substrate and LAMP2A promotes LAMP2A multimerization to form a translocation complex during CMA. LAMP2A contains a cytosolic tail different from the other variants of the LAMP2 genes. Moreover, the large number of defective proteins overwhelm CMA and eventually paralyze it. The common feature of AD and other NDs is the presence of toxic protein aggregates in the patient’s brain. With increasing age, the efficiency of CMA is lowered, which increases the risk of harmful proteins accumulating into insoluble clumps that damage cells. In CMA, heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSC70) chaperones bind to damaged or defective proteins containing KFERQ-like sequences and transport them to the lysosomes via lysosome-associated membrane protein 2A (LAMP2A). In microautophagy, the lysosomes directly uptake the cytosolic compounds through membrane enwrapping. During macroautophagy, the cargo is sequestrated by double-membrane vesicles-autophagosomes and transported to the lysosome. Macroautophagy is the best-studied type of autophagy. Autophagy is classified as macroautophagy, microautophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) based on how cargo is delivered to the lysosome. I feel like it is important to talk about such current issue within film, and like in this film, these sorts of experiments can go very wrong so it’s important to highlight these sorts of real world horrors. so I found it really interesting how the film used this very real debate as a part of the plot and as what drives Elsa to create Dren. During the films release there was a large debate surrounding gene splicing, hence the films title and even today with the advancement of curing mitochondria defects. For many years now there has been a large emphasis on the ethical debate of how to and if we should use live specimen within lab studies. QUICK WARNING- there is going to be quite a lot of science involved with this review and as somebody studying this as a part of my degree, I’m a bit of a stickler for it :microscope:ġ) The ethical debate over using live specimen in a lab- I’m going to start off with this one as it is a little bit different. This film follows two geneticist who bite off more than they can chew when they decided to operate outside of their instruction and challenge scientific morals and ethics.

This means something like “it was nothing”, but depending on the context and location, vas a agradecer tener otras opciones (you’ll be grateful for having other options): So, how do you respond when someone thanks you in Spanish? One of the most common and accepted expressions throughout Latin America to accept thanks is “De nada”. (I thank you for the directions, officer.) Le agradezco las direcciones, oficial.¡Muy rico! (I’m grateful for dinner, Grandma. ¡Te agradezco por tu ayuda, José! (I thank you for your help, José!). Remember, agradecido is masculine and agradecida is feminine!įor these expressions to make sense, you have to add what you’re someone thanking for. Estoy agradecido por / Estoy agradecida por.¿Quieres saber cuál es cuál? (Want to know which is which?) You’ll have to check the Spring Spanish video where we explain it perfectly! Do you know the difference between te and le? One is formal and the other one is informal. Agradecer means “being grateful for something”, so you’ll find it combined in many ways to express appreciation. You may also sound elegante y educado (elegant and polite) by using the verb agradecer. ¡Muchísimas gracias! (Thank you very much!) - literally, so many thanks.Muchas gracias (Thanks a lot) - literally, many thanks.Let’s see some different ways to say thank you: One of the theories is that it comes from the biblical expression “te doy la gracia de Dios” (I give you the grace of God), but over the course of history I guess Spanish speakers became a little less dramatic and thus, the expression transformed into just Gracias.īut I don’t think you’d use the same “thank you” expression para cualquier ocasión, ¿verdad? (for any occasion, right?). Gracias literally means “graces” because, in Spanish, people say thanks by wishing you graces. Spanish is a language rich in expressions for thanking, and a lot of them revolve around one word: Gracias (Thanks) Being thankful is a sign of good manners and of appreciation towards the other person, and it’s an excellent way to make someone a little bit happier.

Lansky brought in new underworld associates to run the Flamingo after Siegel’s death, and the resort became the model for a string of mob-backed joints, including the Thunderbird and Desert Inn, that later sprang up on the Strip. Journalistic photos of his bloodied, bullet-riddled body lying in the Beverly Hills home are a stark reminder of what can happen when the mob is crossed. Historians believe the flamboyant Siegel may have been killed because he was stealing money from the casino operations. Siegel, a hit man and trusted associate of Charles “Lucky” Luciano, who organized the Mafia from New York into a national crime syndicate, had financed the Flamingo with the help of the mob’s money man, Meyer Lansky. “It was the mob that moved (Las Vegas) forward, with the good, the bad and the ugly.” “We owe a debt of gratitude to the Mafia for developing Las Vegas, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Rocha said. The colorful mob era has long since passed, but Rocha believes it should not be forgotten. Many had representatives in Las Vegas for decades, with Chicago being the most dominant. In reality, Las Vegas was regarded as an “open city” for more than two dozen Mafia families across the country. So did the buzz on the Strip over the Rat Pack, led by headliner Frank Sinatra and his associations with high-profile underworld figures. Groundbreaking books such as “The Green Felt Jungle” in 1963, which revealed the mob’s early grip on the city, and popular movies such as “The Godfather” in 1972 and “Casino” in 1995 enhanced this perception through the years. “The general perception on the part of the public is that Las Vegas and the mob have been inextricably linked, and I don’t think it will ever be extricated,” former longtime state archivist Guy Rocha says. (AP Photo)īenjamin “Bugsy” Siegel had been at the helm of the Flamingo for only six months in June 1947 when he was killed in a hail of gunfire at his girlfriend’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home.īut his vision for the Flamingo, the first resort-style hotel on the Strip, was the beginning of a 50-year relationship between Las Vegas and traditional organized crime that helped define “Sin City”and turn it into one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
