Yes, Monster Hunter Rise Is Running On Capcom’s RE Engine
Earlier this week, during Nintendo’s latest Partner Direct, Capcom announced Monster Hunter Rise for Switch.
If you’ve been wondering why this entry looks so next-gen, it’s because it’s running on Capcom’s propriety RE Engine. This information was revealed by the company in a press release on its official website:
The game is currently being developed with Capcom’s proprietary RE ENGINE in order to provide a new, approachable Monster Hunter experience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere and with anyone.
This is the same next-generation engine powering games like Resident Evil Village, the remakes, and Devil May Cry 5.
Capcom’s confirmation follows on from a tweet by the insider Dusk Golem back in August, who said the new Monster Hunter game would run on a Switch compatible version of the RE Engine. At the time, they also said it wouldn’t necessarily lead to Switch ports of other RE Engine games:
“I will crush one dream with my RE Engine on Switch talk: RE7, RE2 & RE3 aren’t coming to Switch. They tried to port RE7 to Switch for a while one time, but had difficulty getting any satisfactory result. RE Engine games for Switch will need to be made with Switch in mind.”

Brackeys Calls It Quits And GameFromScratch Is Now On Odysee
We have two news stories in one today, the first a bit of sad news for Unity developers. Popular YouTube Unity tutorial creator Brackey has called it quits after 8+ years of making tutorials. Thankfully he is leaving under happy circumstances, it’s basically the digital equivalent of retirement. So to Brackeys, congratulations and best of luck to you in your future endeavours, I am sure you have helped a legion of developers learn Unity. The channel will remain up, as will the community Discord server, only the Patreon page is being removed… and of course no new content will be posted.
In completely unrelated news, GameFromScratch video content is now available on Odysee. This is not actually all that new, as Odysee is ultimately a new front end for Lbry.tv. Lbry.tv and now Odysee are the only other place beside YouTube where GFS video content is officially available. Shortly after the YouTube Extortion strike experience it became incredibly clear to me that having all of my eggs in one virtual basket was a very bad idea. Unfortunately the Lbry end user experience was never all that great. With the recent improvements and the launch of Odysee, it has become a much better alternative to YouTube, so be sure to check it out if you are looking for a YouTube alternative. There are already several game development channels on there, including GDQuest.

Review: Super Punch Patrol – There’s Plenty Of Rage On These Streets
Super Punch Patrol sees a return to the signature sketchy style of Gunman Clive from developer Bertil Hörberg, last seen on Switch with really rather brilliant boss-’em-up Mechstermination Force. Here, though, he’s turned his hand to the brawler genre with what feels like a homage to Capcom’s Final Fight. Well, more specifically, down to heavyweight character Chief Anders, who is Haggar all the way down to the piledriver and thinly-concealed homoeroticism.
Not that the piledriver will help you much; Super Punch Patrol is hard. Even on the default (“Normal”) difficulty, we found ourselves running out of continues by stage three on our first few attempts. Unlike a lot of the staples of the genre, using a continue dumps you back at the start of the level rather than allowing you to pick up directly where you left off – a decision we feel is a little odd. If the concern is with players getting through the game too easily, reducing the number of credits but letting you persevere from where you died seems to us like a better solution. This is how the game works in co-op (only local play is available), and perhaps it should have applied to single-player as well.
Of course, the option is there to reduce the difficulty, but ultimately the only way you’ll persevere is by practising and playing carefully – it’s a game that doesn’t give you a break, with multiple enemy types coordinating each battle remarkably quickly. You’ll need to pay close attention to and identify your assailants in order to take them apart in the most efficient way. Get surrounded and you’re most likely dead, regardless of difficulty level chosen.
You have a desperation move activated with the X button, but it drains your health even if it doesn’t connect. Also, particularly in Anders’ case, there’s a short delay before the attack is unleashed and you can still be hit repeatedly while it’s “charging”; we found it was often not worth the health trade-off and better to be knocked down. It’s tough to the point of frustration, but we never found it unfair – once you get to grips with your character and which enemy type is more vulnerable to which move, there’s a pleasingly tactical feel to the whole enterprise that lends it more credibility than the more unfair 10p-munching belt-scrollers of arcade yore.
So, no matter how you approach Super Punch Patrol, it’s going to be rough going. Much more unforgiving than the already-quite-hard Streets of Rage 4, but – crucially – it’s less than a quarter of the price, too. Considering that it costs less than a typical lunch, Super Punch Patrol packs a lot of… erm… punch (sorry) in terms of value. The three initial playable characters aren’t hugely different, but you’ll miss at least one of the other’s attributes whichever you pick. Other than your standard punch and kick combos, jump attacks and the aforementioned desperation move, you’ve got a dashing attack activated by a double-tap of the D-pad which is often remarkably useful. You’re also able to double-tap up or down to quickly hop between “lanes”, which can get you out of dodge remarkably quickly. Beat-’em-up staples such as breakable barrels full of cake (making a welcome return from Gunman Clive) and weapons you can grab and use are present and correct.
In fact, there are elements and ideas here borrowed wholesale from the likes of Streets of Rage; there’s a jetpack-wielding boss battle that raised our eyebrows with just how similar it was to the Sega equivalent, and the final battle is a bit of a shameless lift; though we must add, without spoiling it, there’s a twist to said battle that made us laugh out loud.
The sketchy graphical style is befitting of a game that feels like a love letter to myriad titles in the rather prominent scrolling brawler genre. It’s never unclear what you’re looking at thanks to the stark colour scheme that’s akin to BIC biro scrawlings, but in an evocative and interesting way rather than slapdash or lazy. Everything runs at a smooth 60 frames per second consistently, even when the screen is absolutely rammed with enemies. The visuals never get in the way of the action, basically, and any mistakes are on you. Which is, of course, exactly how it should be. This satisfying and challenging action is scored by an excellent soundtrack from Arne Hörberg that calls to mind Capcom’s arcade brawlers and keeps the blood pumping.
Conclusion
Super Punch Patrol feels like a greatest hits package, but that’s the thing about the greatest hits – they’re great. And so is Super Punch Patrol, in the end. For the price you’ll pay, it’s nothing short of spectacularly generous; there are only five stages, but they’re tough as old boots and it’ll take time to master the challenge and see those credits roll. With costumes and characters to unlock there’s reason to keep playing even after you surmount this beastly little brawler, and at £4.99 it’s a bit of a no-brainer.
Summary: The UnicodeEncodeError generally occurs while encoding a Unicode string into a certain coding. Only a limited number of Unicode characters are mapped to strings. Thus, any character that is not-represented / mapped will cause the encoding to fail and raise UnicodeEncodeError. To avoid this error use the encode(utf-8) and decode(utf-8) functions accordingly in your code.
You might be using handling an application code that needs to deal with multilingual data or web content that has plenty of emojis and special symbols. In such situations, you will possibly come across numerous problems relating to Unicode data. But python has well-defined options to deal with Unicode characters and we shall be discussing them in this article.
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a standard that facilitates character encoding using variable bit encoding. I am sure, you must have heard of ASCII if you are into the world of computer programming. ASCII represents 128 characters while Unicode defines 221 characters. Thus, Unicode can be regarded as a superset of ASCII. If you are interested in having an in-depth look at Unicode, please follow this link. Click on Unicode:- U+1F40Dto find out what it represents! (Try it!!!)
What is a UnicodeEncodeError?
The best way to grasp any concept is to visualize it with an example. So let us have a look at an example of the UnicodeEncodeError.
u = 'é'
print("Integer value for é: ", ord(u))
print("Converting the encoded value of é to Integer Equivalent: ", chr(233))
print("UNICODE Representation of é: ", u.encode('utf-8'))
print("ASCII Representation of é: ", u.encode('ascii'))
Output
Integer value for é: 233
Converting the encoded value of é to Integer Equivalent: é
UNICODE Representation of é: b'\xc3\xa9'
Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 5, in <module> print("ASCII Representation of é: ",u.encode('ascii'))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
In the above code, when we tried to encode the character é toits Unicode value we got an output but while trying to convert it to the ASCII equivalent we encountered an error. The error occurred because ASCII only allows 7-bit encoding and it cannot represent characters outside the range of [0..128].
You now have an essence of what the UnicodeEncodeError looks like. Before discussing how we can avoid such errors, I feel that there is a dire need to discuss the following concepts:
Encoding and Decoding
The process of converting human-readable data into a specified format, for the secured transmission of data is known as encoding. Decoding is the opposite of encoding that is to convert the encoded information to normal text (human-readable form).
In Python,
encode() is an inbuilt method used for encoding. Incase no encoding is specified, UTF-8 is used as default.
decode() is an inbuilt method used for decoding.
Example:
u = 'Πύθωνος'
print("UNICODE Representation of é: ", u.encode('utf-8'))
Output:
UNICODE Representation of é: b'\xce\xa0\xcf\x8d\xce\xb8\xcf\x89\xce\xbd\xce\xbf\xcf\x82'
The following diagram should make things a little easier:
Codepoint
Unicode maps the codepoint to their respective characters. So, what do we mean by a codepoint?
Codepoints are numerical values or integers used to represent a character.
The Unicode code point for é is U+00E9 which is integer 233. When you encode a character and print it, you will generally get its hexadecimal representation as an output instead of its binary equivalent (as seen in the examples above).
The byte sequence of a code point is different in different encoding schemes. For eg: the byte sequence for é in UTF-8 is \xc3\xa9 while in UTF-16 is \xff\xfe\xe9\x00.
Please have a look at the following program to get a better grip on this concept:
u = 'é'
print("INTEGER value for é: ", ord(u))
print("ENCODED Representation of é in UTF-8: ", u.encode('utf-8'))
print("ENCODED Representation of é in UTF-16: ", u.encode('utf-16'))
Output
INTEGER value for é: 233
ENCODED Representation of é in UTF-8: b'\xc3\xa9'
ENCODED Representation of é in UTF-16: b'\xff\xfe\xe9\x00'
Now that we have an overview of Unicode and UnicodeEncodeError, let us discuss how we can deal with the error and avoid it in our program.
Problem: Given a string/text to be written in a text File; how to avoid the UnicodeEncodeError and write given text in the text file.
Example:
f = open('demo.txt', 'w')
f.write('να έχεις μια όμορφη μέρα')
f.close()
Output
Traceback (most recent call last): File "uniError.py", line 2, in <module> f.write('να έχεις μια όμορφη μέρα') File "C:\Users\Shubham-PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-1: character maps to <undefined>
Desired Output
Solution 1: Encode String Before Writing To File And Decode While Reading
You cannot write Unicode to a file directly. This will raise an UnicodeEncodeError. To avoid this you must encode the Unicode string using the encode() function and then write it to the file as shown in the program below:
text = u'να έχεις μια όμορφη μέρα'
# write in binary mode to avoid TypeError
f = open('demo.txt', 'wb')
f.write(text.encode('utf8'))
f.close()
f = open('demo.txt', 'rb')
print(f.read().decode('utf8'))
Output
Solution 2: Open File In utf-8
If you are using Python 3 or higher, all you need to do is open the file in utf-8, as Unicode string handling is already standardized in Python 3.
text = 'να έχεις μια όμορφη μέρα'
f = open('demo2.txt', 'w', encoding="utf-8")
f.write(text)
f.close()
Another approach to deal with the UnicodeEncodeError is using the codecs module.
Let us have a look at the following code to understand how we can use the codecs module:
import codecs f = codecs.open("demo3.txt", "w", encoding='utf-8')
f.write("να έχεις μια όμορφη μέρα")
f.close()
Output
Solution 4: Using Python’s unicodecsv Module
If you are dealing with Unicode data and using a csv file for managing your data, then the unicodecsv module can be really helpful. It is an extended version of Python 2’scsv module and helps the user to handle Unicode data without any hassle.
Since the unicodecsv module is not a part of Python’s standard library, you have to install it before using it. Use the following command to install this module:
$ pip install unicodecsv
Let us have a look at the following example to get a better grip on the unicodecsv module:
import unicodecsv as csv with open('example.csv', 'wb') as f: writer = csv.writer(f, encoding='utf-8') writer.writerow(('English', 'Japanese')) writer.writerow((u'Hello', u'こんにちは'))
Output
Conclusion
In this article, we discussed some of the important concepts regarding Unicode character and then went on to learn about the UnicodeEncodeError and finally discussed the methods that we can use to avoid it. I hope by the end of this article you can handle Unicode characters in your python code with ease.

A new Max Raid event has begun in Pokemon Sword and Shield. To commemorate the seasonal equinox, Pokemon that evolve via Sun or Moon Stones are appearing more frequently in Max Raid dens across the Wild Area and Isle of Armor, and you'll have a chance to encounter Shiny Clefable in the Raids. You'll need to act fast, however, as the event only runs through this weekend.
Until September 20, 4:59 PM PT / 7:59 PM ET, the following Pokemon will be featured in Max Raid battles across both Sword and Shield:
Clefable
Wigglytuff
Musharna
Bellossom
Whimsicott
Lilligant
As previously mentioned, you'll also have a chance to encounter a Shiny Clefable in five-star Raids. In order for the event Pokemon to begin appearing in your game, you'll first need to refresh your Raid dens. You can do this either by connecting the Y-Comm online or going into Mystery Gift from the menu screen and selecting Get the Wild Area News.
