![]() It was important for us to encourage players to go for a score attack type of play, and the graphic novel-style lettering is great to communicate the action to the player in a way that is both stylish and instantly recognisable. We were inspired by games such as XIII and Volition’s The Punisher for the look and feel of the game. ![]() The graphic novel aesthetic was a good fit for the dynamic and punchy style we were going for, allowing us to give feedback to the player in a fast-paced way that looked cool and made sense within the world. We want players to feel like they are the protagonists in a buddy cop movie from the 90s, so everything is over the top and unrealistic, from the action, the slow motion, the characters, all the way to the story and enemies. The RICO series is heavily inspired by popular action cinema, and you can see that influence in everything from theme, visual aesthetics and gameplay. The graphic novel aesthetic was a natural development from the first RICO, which had a stylised cell-shaded look, so with RICO London we wanted to take that further. What was the process like of coming up with the graphic novel-style visual aesthetic for RICO London, and then implementing it in the game? "The graphic novel aesthetic was a natural development from the first RICO, which had a stylised cell-shaded look, so with RICO London we wanted to take that further." NOTE: This interview was conducted prior to the game’s launch. Below, you can read our conversation with designer James Parker. Ahead of the game’s recent launch, we had the chance to send across some of our questions about RICO London to its developers. ![]() Rather than delivering yet another gritty military shooter, Ground Shatter’s RICO London instead offers a flashy, explosive game inspired by buddy cop movies with a graphic novel aesthetic oozing style. It’s always refreshing to see a new release in the FPS genre that tries to do things a little differently. ![]() To represent the scansion you will output all of the syllables with | demarcating the separation of feet. The input will contain only spaces and characters A-Z. You will take in the line as string via standard input and output a string representing the final scansion. Your task will be to take a line of latin and produce the scansion of it. If a vowel is not forced by one of the previous rules it can be either long or short this will depend on the meter The syllable "que" at the end of a word (after elision) is always short "ch", "ph", "th", and "qu" count as one consonant a "v")ĭiphthongs (ae, au, ei, eu, oe, and ui) are made up of two vowels but count as one vowel and are always longĪ vowel with two or more consonants between it and the next vowel is always longįor the previous rule an "l" or an "r" after a "b","c","d","g","p", or "t" does not count as a consonant a "j")Īn "i" beginning a word followed by a vowel (e.g Iactus) is also a consonantĪ "u" after a "q" is also a consonant (i.e. And the last foot will be a long followed by an anceps (short or long, for this problem you will not have to determine which).Ī vowel in latin can be either short or longĪn "i" sandwiched between two vowels (e.g. Each of the first five feet will be either a dactyl, a long syllable followed by two short ones, or a spondee, two long syllables. Syllables can be either long or short depending on the vowel. Dactylic hexameter has six "feet" each foot consists of two or three syllables. The meter for this challenge is dactylic hexameter. Word-initial "h" followed by a vowel counts as a single vowel for elision purposes and is always dropped when elided.Īfter elision we can begin scansion. ![]() The same goes for words ending in a vowel followed by "m". The final vowel of a word ending with a vowel is omitted if the next word begins with a vowel. Unlike English, Latin elision follows very nice rules. Elision is the dropping syllables between words to ease pronunciation. For this problem we will be using simplified subset of those rules (real Latin does not have a neat spec).īefore you begin the scansion you must elide. However unlike English Latin scansion is fairly regular and often requires no knowledge of Latin vocabulary or grammar to be performed. For Latin this means demarcating each syllable in the line as "light" or "heavy". Scansion is the act of determining the meter of a particular line of poetry. As a terrible Latin student for several years I have learned to hate many things about Latin. ![]()
