David Hanak Lesi sihloko ngeke sibe isibuyekezo, kunalokho sizoba isingeniso sohlelo, noma uhlelo lokusebenza olungajabulisa abadlali abaningi bohlelo lwe-DnD (Dungeons and Dragons) nokunye okuphuma kulo. Ngakho-ke, uma ungowomphakathi osebenzayo wamageyimu, futhi igama elithi Herolab alisho lutho kuwe, ungaqhubeka nokufunda. Mhlawumbe i-Herolab iyilokho kanye okufunayo.
Abadlali asebekhulile asebedlale futhi “bayizingcweti” iminyaka eminingi bangase bazibuze ukuthi kungani kudingeka basebenzise noma yiziphi izinto zikagesi lapho bedlala, kuyilapho sekuyiminyaka bedlula ngepensela nephepha elingenalutho (abanye ngisho namashumi eminyaka). Ngihlangabezane nombono ofanayo eqenjini lami, kodwa ngenkathi ngisebenzisa i-Herolab, kwaba nengqondo nakakhulu nakubakadebona abangomakadebona.
Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukukhomba ukuthi i-Herolab iyini ngempela. Kuyisoftware eyakhiwe yisitudiyo saseMelika I-Lone Wolf Development futhi empeleni ungumphathi onolwazi kakhulu nomhleli wabalingiswa, izilo kanye nama-NPC. I-Herolab isekela inombolo enkulu yezinhlelo zegeyimu, ezidume kakhulu zazo ngokunengqondo ezihlanganisa i-DnD (ukusekelwa kwazo zonke izinguqulo ezisuka ku-3.0) kanye ne-Pathfinder RPG. Ukuze uyisebenzise, udinga ukuthenga ilayisense yesistimu ethile yegeyimu bese kuba nelayisense yezincwadi ezengeziwe, kungaba imithetho, i-Adventure Paths ehlukahlukene, i-Bestiaries nezinye. Ngokubona kwami, inkinga kuphela yesikhulumi sonke ihlobene nalokhu, okuyizindleko zezezimali.
Ilayisensi eyisisekelo, ehlanganisa uhlelo njengohlelo + olulodwa lomdlalo, ibiza u-$35. Nokho, le ntengo ihlanganisa isisekelo esiphelele sesistimu yegeyimu enikeziwe. Isibonelo, kuPathfinder, kunezincwadi ezimbalwa zemithetho eyisisekelo kule ntengo (bona lapha), abanye okufanele ubathenge ukuze idatha yabo itholakale ohlelweni. Ekugcineni, ukuthenga kungabiza kakhulu. Ukuthengwa kwemithetho yokwandisa, imikhankaso emisha, njll. kuyadingeka kakhulu uma ufuna ukusebenza kakhulu nenkundla. Okuwukuphela kwento enhle ukuthi uthola amalayisense esibili amahlanu elayisensi eyodwa eyinhloko, okusho ukuthi ungahlukanisa ilayisense phakathi kwabalingani bakho beqembu futhi wabelane ngezindleko. Kodwa-ke, ngeke uthole amalayisensi angaphezu kwamahlanu, ngakho-ke uma kukhona abayisithupha abadlalayo, owokugcina uphelelwe yinhlanhla.
Sekwanele ngokwezimali, ake sibone ukuthi i-Herolab ibukeka kanjani ekusebenzeni. Ngeke ngixoxe ngohlelo oluyinhloko lwe-PC (Mac) lapha, njengoba kungewona umgomo walesi sihloko. Sekuyiminyaka emibili nengxenye kusukela i-Lone Wolf Development ikhiphe uhlelo lokusebenza oluhambisana ne-iPad. Ngemuva kwezinyanga zokulinda, abasebenzisi bayitholile futhi kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi ikufanele ngempela. Inguqulo ye-iPad ingasetshenziswa ngezindlela ezimbili. Kweyokuqala, isebenza njengedayari esebenzisanayo yokudlala kanjalo. Ilayisensi esebenzayo ayidingeki kulokhu kusetshenziswa, futhi uhlelo lokusebenza ku-iPad lusebenza nefayela i-Herolab ye-PC (Mac) ekwenzela yona. Kodwa-ke, uma ufaka ilayisensi yakho kuhlelo lokusebenza ku-iPad, iba umhleli ogcwele oqukethe yonke imisebenzi yenguqulo yedeskithophu. Mina mathupha ngisebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza ngendlela eshiwo kuqala, ngoba lanele ngokuphelele izidingo zami zomuntu siqu.
Kulula kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa futhi noma ubani owake wabona ishidi labalingiswa uzozizwa esekhaya. Uhlelo lokusebenza lungaxhunywa ku-dropbox, ngakho-ke uzohlala unolwazi olusha yonke into (okuwusizo, isibonelo, ngemva kwekhefu lezinyanga ezimbalwa) futhi ungaba nawo wonke amadayari akho enqwabeni. Mayelana nemodi edlalwayo, ungafaka futhi uhlele cishe yonke into ohlangana nayo phakathi nomdlalo (bona igalari, lapho kukhethwa khona izithombe-skrini eziningi). Kusukela kulwazi oluyisisekelo mayelana nomlingiswa, ngokusebenzisa imishini yokuhlela, izikhali, iziphonso zokulandelela, ama-potions nokunye "okudlekayo". Unombono osheshayo wazo zonke izibalo, amakhono, izici nemisebenzi, nencazelo enemininingwane ethathwe emithethweni yayo yonke into, okungukuthi 100% enembile.
Nokho, isici esihle kakhulu se-Herolab ye-iPad ukuguqulwa kwezibalo ngazinye. Uhlelo lokusebenza luzokubalela wena ngokuyisisekelo konke okubeka kukho. Uyohlale unezinhlawulo noma amabhonasi abalwe ngendlela efanele. Ngeke kwenzeke ukuthi ukhohlwe ukuhlasela okwengeziwe okuvela kwa-Hast, noma inhlawulo ethile ekulondolozweni noma esimweni. Abahlanjululi bangase baphikise ngokuthi ezinsukwini "zepensela nephepha" wonke umuntu kwakudingeka anake lezi zinto futhi ngaleyo ndlela afunde okwengeziwe ngemithetho ngokwabo. Awukwazi ukuphikisa lokho, kodwa le ndlela yesimanjemanje iyashesha futhi ayinangqondo. Ukwengeza, emazingeni aphezulu wezinhlamvu, inani lezinto okufanele uziqaphele likhuphuka kakhulu. Ngale ndlela, i-Herolab ikwandisa kakhulu ukushelela kokudlala, njengoba iqapha futhi ikubalela izinto eziningi. Ingasaphathwa imininingwane ephelele edidiyelwe yazo zonke izinto, iziphonso, izikhali, izinto zokusebenza nezinye izinto.
Enye inzuzo enkulu ukwesekwa konjiniyela. Abantu bakwa-Herolab ye-iPad basebenza kanzima futhi izibuyekezo ezintsha zivela njalo, cishe njalo ngemva kwamasonto amabili. Phakathi neminyaka yokusebenzisa, ngihlangabezane nenani elincane lezimbungulu ezingenzeka kimi ngenkathi ngidlala. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izibuyekezo ezivamile zenza idatha ku-Herolab ibe sesikhathini samanje kune, isibonelo, izinguqulo eziphrintiwe zemithetho okungenzeka zibe neminyaka embalwa ubudala. Ngokwami, angikwazi ukuncoma i-Herolab ngaphezulu. Uma udlala i-DnD njalo futhi udlala isistimu esekelwa i-Herolab, ngincoma ukuthi uzame okungenani inguqulo yesilingo. Uhlelo lwedeskithophu "isikole esidala" kancane ngokuya ngomklamo, kodwa ngokusebenza akukho okungakhononda ngakho. Futhi ukuba ne-iPad enedayari ehleleka ngokugcwele onayo ngenkathi uhleli kumane kuyigugu. Uma unemibuzo mayelana nesicelo, bhala kumazwana :)
