Next week lead developer Jeff from OTS and Yogdog will be doing a whole week of streaming Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm. This will include real-life tactics from a veteran of the Cold War, so for you history buffs out there it's well worth watching.
Streams are scheduled to begin 3:15 PM EDT on April 1st (don't worry this isn't a joke stream).

GAMEPLAY
Fuel System in Vehicles: When the gasoline level runs out, the vehicle stops working. You can refuel vehicles at the gas station by pressing and holding the "E" key next to the gas pump.
Fuelless Vehicles Don't Explode: However, they can catch fire with the use of explosives or incendiary weapons.

This functionality is in the experimental phase, and we will be collecting feedback over the weeks to improve the functionality until the final completion.

Street Fighter™ takes over Vegas Infinite again! 🕹️
Vegas Infinite welcomes two more iconic characters from the Street Fighter universe – M. Bison and Blanka. Prepare for an epic showdown as these legends make their grand entrance in our next patch, bringing more action, more thrills, and even more content than ever before!
In this Paper Pirates update, we've added two brand new never-seen-before traits to the permanent roster of traits. We've also added two new events and two new trait events!
New Trait: The Gardener
The Gardener is the first of our two new traits. The Gardener has access to three plant pots, and they can choose which plant to tend each day that they don't play in. There are four different plants that The Gardener might grow, so each voyage they'll only have a selection of a few!
After a plant has been tended three times, it'll be fully grown, and will activate an ongoing effect that impacts the whole crew. From Saintly Sunflowers to Clingy Cacti, each plant is sure to turn the tide in the favour of one team or the either. Will The Gardener learn to work with their plants, or will they turn against them?
New Trait: The Undecided
The Undecided is the second of our new traits. The Undecided doesn't actually start with a trait! Each day, when The Undecided doesn't play in, they'll be offered a trait that's enabled for the voyage but which no other pirate currently has.
Should they chose to accept this trait, The Undecided will then become that trait for the remainder of the voyage. Alternatively, they can pass on it, and hope that another trait comes along another day.
Whether The Undecided is taking advantage of becoming a trait that the crew needs just at the right time, or, finding out which traits are not currently on board the ship, they're sure to add some spice to your voyage!
New Trait Events
Building on the six trait events that were added in the last update, we've added another two - this time for The Psychic and The Cursed.
The Psychic's Prediction
In The Psychic's Prediction, The Psychic takes a guess at which pirate they think will next go overboard. If they ace their prediction, showing off their psychic abilities, they'll be rewarded with a choice of either moving the ship one space closer to shore or throwing a treasure overboard.
The Cursed's Calamity
In The Cursed's Calamity, The Cursed will have an opportunity to potentially get thrown overboard. They'll be given a Magic Lamp-style event, but where the options are always Scurvy, Hot Potato, or Overpower. Which of these will give them the best chance of going overboard?
New Event: Reinvigoration
If the crew encounters a Reinvigoration event during a Trait game, any active trait that uses charges is sure to be celebrating - for they'll be gaining an extra charge for use during the remainder of the voyage!
New Event: Confession
When a Confession event happens, one pirate from the crew is randomly chosen to share their deepest secret - which team they're on - with another pirate. They can't opt out so they have to pick someone they trust. Whoever they choose will get to find out whether the confessing pirate is a ghost or a human... but beware! In Trait games, Traits like The Disguised will still impact the outcome of the event.
