Rod "4475 SR & Immortal peak" Breslau June 29, 2020 Not only will viewers be able to gain progress by watching games, streamers will earn revenue from bits purchases /v0OHb6GdYq Here's an example of how Twitch chat can affect the game with +speed and +health items (and lol they used Ninja's old twitch chat as the example) This should make streaming the game to millions of followers even easier, along with "never seen levels of integration" with Twitch chat that will "directly impact the game live with game-changing events."

Hyper Scape is undergoing its open beta test on PC right now, with a PS4 and Xbox One release sometime soon. It really shows how proud we are seeing our ‘Malaysia’ in a AAA game.” “I’m happy to see fellow friends from the industry and gaming scene sharing the news these past few days. "I wonder if any Malaysian is involved in realising it since we do have a few Malaysians working for Ubisoft.” Meanwhile, Hanis Rahim, the CEO and Game Director of Studio Kamii said it is interesting to see a Malaysian being interpreted as a video game character. But I don't think it's a fault of the designers and developers, as there needs to be uniformity in all of the characters’ costumes for visual cohesiveness, so any positive representation of our people in games is a win!” “To say that it's a Malaysian character is rather hard to say she's almost more inspired by the musician Yuna rather than what represents our national heritage. ![]() I would say the Technical Test Battle Pass suit has a little more cultural flair via the embellishments on her gauntlet and finger.

Jarold Sng, the Art Director and Co-Founder of TENTEN Studio, however, said he felt Noor Casulink's character design is homogenous with the rest of the Hyper Scape characters. ![]() Most importantly, it creates strong female characters that can be identified with the region." And even more so interesting, using our local language as quips for her in the game which includes 'syabas' (good work) and 'tidak mengapa' (it's alright) to name a few. “Many Malaysians and to a certain extent South East Asians will indeed be interested in learning more about the game. This proves that Ubisoft believes in diversity and that stories and characters can come from anyone,” said Hasnul Hadi Samsudin, the Vice President of the Digital Creative Content Division of Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). “It's a pleasant surprise to see a regional character be represented in a global game. With this exciting addition of a Malaysian character in a Ubisoft game, we outreached to key figures in the Malaysian gaming industry for their thoughts and reactions of the character. She is one of the playable champions in Hyper Scape and is known in the game’s universe as the “face of Southeast Asia”. This headscarf-wearing champion is from Pekan, Pahang and loves to give makeup tutorials. According to the game’s lore, her real name is Noor Azimah binti Yusof, and she is a streamer and beauty guru.
