We have become aware of a few bugs and have now fixed them to give players a better gaming experience. The following things have been fixed: Saving data (New save method), Negative money balance, Quests were not loading, X-eno class shield was indestructible.
Today is the day! Deceit 2 is now available on Steam. We are incredibly excited to finally be sharing the game with you.
If that’s not enough though, we have a couple of other updates we wanted to share with you.
October Roadmap
The first is our post-launch roadmap for September and October. There’ll be a lot more information coming soon, but this should give you a taste of what’s to come:
Arrival Outfits
As the Truth Seekers Anonymous step into the foreboding halls of Millhaven Asylum, they're not adorned in attire fit for a dark sacrifice – no gothic garb or pentagram pendants here. Instead, their Arrival Outfits whisper tales of the once ordinary lives they led. So lean in close, for we have a chilling tale to share as night falls…
Alex
Charming and meticulous, Alex possesses a knack for making those around him feel at ease. Whether he's coaxing information from club bouncers about the whereabouts of GQ's Man of the Year or playfully engaging with a budding influencer eager to spill secrets about her TikTok competitors, Alex is the master of the game. His 'Scruffy Smart' attire strikes the perfect balance for mingling and gathering intel, though it might not be the best choice for darker deeds of deception and betrayal.
Chang
Chang doesn't rely on lavish attire to command respect. A mere twitch of his lip or the subtle clenching of his fist sends shivers down spines. Cloaked in an all-black ensemble, his ever-present sunglasses — a signature even at night — epitomise the essence of Urban Life. But as he steps into the labyrinthine corridors of Millhaven Asylum, one wonders: can this streetwise enigma navigate the shadows and secrets of such a haunting place?
Lisa
Lisa has little patience for the foolish. Her tenure in the Metropolitan police force has shown her the underbelly of society, where deception often goes unchecked. It's this disdain for injustice that drives her to the Truth Seekers Anonymous forum. Her chosen attire for the rendezvous speaks volumes: pragmatic cargo pants paired with rugged boots/trainers, painting the portrait of the unyielding force of justice she embodies.
Rachel
As a Senior Account Executive, Rachel's attire mirrors her professional stature. Her days are a whirlwind of client meetings, but as night falls, she delves into the shadowy mysteries discussed in the forum. Keen on keeping her everyday life a secret from fellow Truth Seekers, Rachel's choice of Activewear – sleek leggings paired with a snug sweater – is both discrete and deliberate.
Hans
Enigmatic and reserved, Hans is a man shrouded in mystery. Few can claim to truly know him, as he guards his past with a quiet intensity. Yet, when he steps into the Millhaven Asylum gathering alongside fellow Truth Seekers, his attire speaks volumes. The Flight Suit he dons is not just practical and snug; it subtly suggests a life experienced at altitudes others can only dream of.
Nina
Hailing from Japan, Nina's vibrant hues and playful cat ears are a testament to her origins. She's an open book, wearing her emotions openly, a trait that initially drew her to the sanctuary of the Truth Seekers Anonymous forum. Yet, amidst the haunting backdrop of Millhaven Asylum, her endearing Kawaii-inspired ensemble stands in stark, jarring contrast to the surrounding dread.
Priya
After an exhausting day at work, Priya arrived at Millhaven Asylum still in her professional attire. Meeting this eclectic group of strangers, she stands out in her polished trousers and elegant scarf. This ensemble, perfect for instilling confidence in her pharmacy patients, assures them of her expertise. It's the attire of someone who meticulously ensures their well-being, safeguarding them from the financial burdens of life-saving medications.
Jak
Jak, with his sharp wit and captivating smile, has always been a force to be reckoned with. His undeniable charm has won over many, not just the ladies, and he's never been one to shy away from using that to his advantage. His attire? A perfect reflection of his penchant for luxury and allure. As he strides into the Truth Seekers' gathering, his 'Sleekly Debonair' ensemble radiates an unmatched confidence. But even such bravado might waver in the face of the chilling depths of Millhaven Asylum.
Beck
Beck is a master of their craft, ensuring art "restorations" are nothing short of perfection. Immersed in the world of galleries and high-end auctions, they've cultivated an image that mirrors the elite circles they navigate. Donning designer suits and opulent watches, Beck's Formalwear ensemble is a masterpiece of its own. Yet, within the haunting confines of Millhaven Asylum, they'll need to channel a different kind of creativity to navigate the shadows and emerge unscathed.
Legacy Skins
A nod to our dedicated "Deceit 1" players, we're honouring your commitment with exclusive rewards. Six distinct groups have been crafted, each with its own criteria. Players only need to meet one of the requirements of the group to qualify. The number of groups you complete will determine how many Legacy Skins you can claim in "Deceit 2". And here's the cherry on top: these skins were handpicked based on community votes!
Masquerade Skins
Remember those iconic outfits from our grand "Deceit 1" event in the summer of 2022? For those who earned these legendary skins, they'll seamlessly transition into "Deceit 2". A little piece of history to carry forward.
Plinths
Introducing a fresh feature to elevate your game! In the lobbies, characters will now proudly stand on customisable plinths. And for our "Deceit 1" veterans, we haven't forgotten our promise. All those emblems you cherished? They're being transformed into unique plinths in "Deceit 2".
We’ve covered a lot in this post, but, obviously the most important news is that the game is out, and ready for you to play! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and look forward to working alongside you all as we continue to turn Deceit 2 into the best social deception game of all time!
We understand that colony sim games can be overwhelming with all the things you need to learn to make things work. So we decided after a small tutorial YOU will be in charge of what do you want and need to do next. Running low on storage? No problem just research bigger storage or store into dumpsites, etc.
Each colonist will produce passively research points. Higher educated colonists will yield higher amounts, but with no education you can expect very little gain. But each researcher in the Research Center will help you with points.
New Buildings:
Research Center (Education)
Researcher worker slot increases research points gain
Changes
Farm Incubator now produces more food (Basic Food production per recipe increased from 0.3 to 0.4)
Mining time decreased from base 10s to 8s - (In the early stages of game you spend lot of time digging, so we speed it up a little to keep player more engaged on things that really matters.)
Fixes
Several bug fixes
Fixed Rare Crashes: Addressed rare instances of crashes and game-breaking bugs reported by the community.
📷New camera tools for the creator in you!🎞️ The Devs dive into the world of photo and cinematography and go over the brand new camera tools & modes in Cities Skylines II.
Footage captured In-Game is not final and might change in time for release.
Its another HDTF art stream! We'll be creating props for the game along with showing updates on the game along with chatting with the community and taking questions!
As usual right now, the main 3D models we'll be working on today are simply environmental props
Fixed My Collection - Videotapes Bug that caused the game to crash when the player tried to view animations which he previously screenshotted. Several animations we're causing the game to crash. Additionally fixed one animation that was wrongly assigned to the pictures list instead of the videotapes list.
We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip - Major Raquel ~ヾ(・ω・)
Hello Explorers!
Think you and your bestie can take on any challenge together? We’d like to see you try. We Were Here Expeditions: The FriendShip awaits you!
In this bite-sized new series from the main We Were Here games, you’ll put your friendships to test!
You and your partner take the role of an Antarctic Explorer pair, hearing a distress call that might be familiar to some of you. Eager to answer the call, you try to identify the location, but the weather that’s brewing outside causes their focus to wither . You end up at an uninhabited island which has an amusement park?! If you’re able to find your way in, a series of puzzling trails await the two of you, where Communication, Teamwork and Trust are of the essence. You won’t be able to pass them alone, so be sure to work together…
You can now take your ultimate friendship test for free until October 13, so be sure that you and your bff (or are they?) have claimed the game before this date. It will be yours forever to keep. And it doesn’t matter which platform you and partner will play on, as the game is playable cross platform! So you can truly test your friendship across platforms.
If you’re new to the We Were Here series, don’t worry. This is a complete new experience, so you and your partner can jump into the test without any worries. Well, the only worry you might have is failing the friendship test. ;) We from Total Mayhem games are known for co-op adventures, focusing on the cooperation between the two players! The asymmetrical element of our games give it an extra layer, where you and your co-op partner are truly depended on each other. If you like to level your smarts, while going through a puzzling adventure, our games are sure to be something for you!
For our veteran Explorers, this might be a fun little side experience for you to play! Although there are some small lore implications to the main We Were Here series, this is a new series bringing bite-sized co-op puzzle experiences. Who knows, maybe this is the gateway for that one friend you’ve been bugging for so long to play the game! Since once you enter the Antarctic and fall into the grasp of Castle Rock, you’ll never truly leave…
We want to ensure you all as well that this doesn’t mean that our main We Were Here series is completed. We’ve got a lot more adventures planned for you, this is just a small little side quest for you ;)
