The world is jumping on the artificial intelligence (AI) bandwagon and smartphone makers have dipped their toes in it too. Google is now known for offering various AI features on its Pixel smartphones, whereas Samsung has also brought out Galaxy AI, and a slew of AI-powered features for its smartphones. However, Apple is nowhere to be seen…yet. As per reports, the iPhone maker is planning to introduce a slew of AI upgrades with iOS 18, and it could be the “biggest” update in iPhone's history.

Prison Architect 2 will support mods with a built-in editor on PC
17.01.2024 - 00:23 / rockpapershotgun.com / Will
Prison Architect 2 was announced earlier this evening and will switch the carceral management sim to 3D when it releases on March 26th.
It'll also have robust mod support, with "a mod editor built-in for PC players", according to game director Gaz Wright.
"[Mod support will be] built into the game for the first time," Wright told Katharine at Gamescom last year. "Prison Architect 1 was really, really big for the modding community, and we've worked very closely with some of the top modders and asked them to become ambassadors for the game. They've been telling us about the different tools and support they want and how mod-able they want the game to be, and what they want us [to do] is allow the code to be exposed to them to make modding easy for them.
"For the first time in Prison Architect, there's a mod editor built-in for PC players, so even people who aren't experienced with modding will be able to create their own characters, create their own items and models, and room types," said Wright. "It just shows that dedication to modding. It's not just, 'we're adding them in some DLC, here you go'. We're supporting the modding community and the ability to create stuff themselves."
Although it's not strictly relevant to PC, Prison Architect 2 will also allow console players to play mods for the first time. "Not the editor, but they can see and get mods that are created from the PC modding community. In Prison Architect 1, I think they felt a bit left out, as there were so many cool mods on PC. So we've fixed that and really improved that."
Although Wright didn't say so, this probably means Prison Architect 2 won't distribute mods via Steam Workshop as the original did. Paradox have recently launched their own mod sharing platform, Paradox Mods, which is used to share mods in games like Crusader Kings 3, and will eventually be used to support multi-platform mods in Cities: Skylines 2. It seems reasonable to assume Prison Architect 2 will follow suit.
Paradox and Double Eleven's stewardship of Prison Architect after buying the IP from original creators Introversion was questionable, mostly due to an abundance of ill-fitting DLC, but it remains one of the best management games. Introversion, meanwhile, are now working on spaceship construction and management game The Last Starship, which is currently in early access.

What’s up with the 'toxicity' around Cities: Skylines II?
Cities: Skylines II developer Colossal Order has a uniquely close relationship with its community. The original Cities: Skylines came out in 2015 and gobbled up the audience that was left behind by EA’s SimCity, which came out in 2013 and was a busted mess. Cities: Skylines scratched that urban-planning itch, plus it cost just $30. The game came first to PC, Mac and Linux with modest hardware requirements, and it hit consoles within two years. Critically, Cities: Skylines also supported mods through the Steam Workshop, allowing players to add their own tools to the game and share those features with others.

Enshrouded updates will expand the building tools, speed up resource respawning and fix progress loss
Now see here Ollie Toms, supposed guides editor of this supposed videogames website - if Enshrouded really does have "the best building system in the survival genre" then why does the floor of my hovel look like a petrified sneeze? I was innocently carving myself a nice stone foundation last night when the Devil jogged my elbow and I dug a massive, raggedy trench straight through it. I've spent an hour now trying to fill in the trench and flatten it out, to no avail. There's always a jaggedy bit right in the middle, and I'm getting displaced trypophobia from the awareness that my efforts have seeded the terrain beneath with random cavities.
