Computer hardware constraints, such as graphic design and gaming, have long posed limitations on people accessing and creating digital media.
Gamers have been subject to low frame rates and poor graphics for years and video editors have had to struggle with slow rendering times, while the latest innovations in these fields have been available only to those people with top-of-the-line hardware. But not any more.
Innovative new cloud computing solutions – offering people online access to data and software stored on a network of servers – mean it is now game on for would-be players the world over!
August saw the release of the award-winning, role-playing video game Black Myth: Wukong, featuring the character, Tian Ming Ren (The Chosen One), based on the classic 500-year old Chinese novel, Journey to the West, as he goes on a quest for six magical relics left behind by Sun Wukong or Monkey King.
Players can also find “spells” that give them magical powers, including the somersaults cloud – for which the Monkey King is famous – which allows high-speed navigation.
