Good day hackers!

A very exciting update for Tiny Life is dropping today: 0.13.0 adds camera rotation and a pretty major upgrade of the game's map! Check out the screenshots, explanations and additional features in this post!

Before we start, though: I recently realized that you can rate the game on itch, which apparently helps with visibility and the like. If you've already played the game, and you enjoyed it, and you have an itch account, it would be great if you could do so! All you have to do is go to the game's itch page and press "Rate Game" in the top right. Thanks!


Now to the exciting part, and the one that a lot of yall have been waiting for: Camera rotation! You can now rotate the camera in the game using the C key to rotate clockwise and Shift + C to rotate counter-clockwise. You can also use the little rotate buttons in the top right of your screen as well. Here's a cool preview from an in-dev version that shows camera rotation in action:



Additionally, if you're interested, here are some fun in-depth pictures from when I was still working on making everything compatible with camera rotation. It turns out that, while you can just literally move and rotate the camera in a 3D game, it's a lot harder in isometric 2D because just rotating the camera would make all of the objects look skewed and absolutely terrible. So this took me quite a while to get working, but it was definitely worth it in the end!







During development, there were also some much more cursed pictures to be taken, of broken roofs, rotated walls and backwards-walking people. But I thought I'd better spare everyone, especially future me.


An exciting addition in this version is the addition of a second area on the map. This new area is supposed to look a little more commercial and/or city-like, and so it has a lot more lots that are all a lot closer together. Along with this larger map, you get two new lots: A new park and a new house, the latter of which is inhabited by the one and only Tom Tannenbaum.

Enjoy these pictures! I should note, though, that the first one is an in-development screenshot that doesn't feature the park and new residential house yet. If you want to see the park, you'll just have to boot up the game yourself!








Oh, also, before I forget to mention this: It's pretty obvious, but the game finally has a proper logo now! This awesome logo was created by the lovely Tector, who previously worked on the Fitness set with me.

We debated a lot about the design of the logo, but I think this final version represents the game's fun and light-hearted aesthetic and gameplay very well.




As always, here's a copy of the full changelog for your enjoyment. Of course, you can also look at this changelog in the game's main menu.

Like, legit you can't do it. It doesn't work.

- Fixed a bug where players spawned underground on Castle Ruins Level
- Fixed a calculation on retargeting if you couldn't reach your target and you'd been chasing someone that was fleeing.
- Removed some remanence of the old settings that might have been casing a bug where audio would start at a different level when you started the game.

The meeting host can now mute and unmute other users in a meeting
BIM 360 models can now be directly opened from the cloud panel

Improvements:
2x faster startup time on Oculus Quest

Various bugfixes

The Corpus are manufacturing a new line of adversary — a sisterhood of elite hunters who live and die by the orders of Parvos Granum. These ruthless assassins - aided by their ferocious robotic Hounds - are the latest chapter in the Corpus’ aggressive expansion and must be neutralized at all costs. It won’t be easy, Tenno. The Sisters of Parvos possess enhanced strength and abilities and are equipped with the latest in high-tech Corpus weaponry.



Behaving as your personal antagonist, your Sister will hunt you while claiming Sectors of the Origin System for herself. Complete a Mission on “her” turf, and she’ll collect taxes on your Rewards — tithes you can only reclaim by killing or converting your Sister.

To begin, you must have completed both The War Within and Call of the Tempestarii Quests, and you must defeat your active Kuva Lich before taking on a fight with a Sister of Parvos.




Your Sister Candidate will reveal herself aboard any Corpus Ship once you reach Rank 1 in the Granum Void. Eliminate her with a Mercy Kill and your Sister will arise in the Origin System!

Battle your Sister’s mechanized Hound to acquire a new cutting-edge Companion and reveal her fatal sequence of Requiems. The final showdown in the Neptune Proxima will give you the chance to defeat your Sister once and for all. Convert her to gain on-call backup in Missions or an extra Railjack crewmember. Kill her to acquire cutting-edge weaponry and (hopefully) a dazzling Ephemera. It’s your call, Tenno.




True to their high-tech status, the Sisters of Parvos have been outfitted with eight of the most advanced Weapons in the Corpus arsenal. Similar to Kuva Liches, the Warframe that spawns a Sister will determine the Bonus Damage Type of her prized Tenet Weapon (for example, a Sister spawned by Ember will have a Weapon with Bonus Heat Damage). Do you have what it takes to acquire them for yourself?

TENET ENVOY
This discreet rocket launcher is equally at home in a board meeting or on a casual outing. Aimed rockets are wire-guided for greater accuracy, but travel more slowly. The patented Granum Attaché System reloads the weapon when holstered.

TENET DIPLOS
Itemize and execute with this pair of auto-lock-on, homing-projectile pistols. Shoot from the hip for a more conventional pistol experience. The patented Granum Attaché System reloads the pistols when holstered.



TENET SPIREX
Dominate rivals with this pistol’s lightning fast rail-slugs. Head-shots speed up reload.

TENET TETRA
Parvosian upgrade of the classic Tetra. Slower fire rate but with a larger magazine. Can now alt fire an entire clip as a large burst radius grenade launcher.

TENET FLUX RIFLE
Sister-modified Flux Rifle with increased fire rate and range. Recharge has been replaced with ammo clips to accommodate greater power needs.

TENET ARCA PLASMOR
Custom variant of a Corpus classic. Staggering blasts now ricochet and have greater range at the cost of a slower fire and reload speed. Surviving enemies are consumed with radiation.

TENET CYCRON
This reengineered Cycron features a refracting energy disc that can split off its main target hitting up to two additional nearby targets.



TENET DETRON
Parvos Granum’s engineers have made this already ferocious hand-cannon even more deadly with the addition of an alternate fire mode that empties an entire clip in one devastating burst.


Yareli is legendary in Fortuna for her selfless heroism against the oppressive Corpus regime. Tenno who have completed Vox Solaris will receive an invitation from Roky to unlock the Waverider Quest, a comic-based series of K-Drive challenges in the Orb Vallis that award Yareli’s Main Blueprint! Research the rest of her parts from the new Bash Lab Dojo Room and bring the Ventkids’ beloved hero to life!

This deceptively adorable Warframe summons a rideable creature named Merulina to move fast and free about the battlefield, harnessing the destructive power of the sea to crowd control enemies with oceanic fury.



SEA SNARES
Form three water globules that seek out enemies and expand on contact, simultaneously damaging and immobilizing their victims.

MERULINA
Summon Merulina, a rideable creature of the waves, and the inspiration for K-Driving. Merulina protects Yareli by absorbing a large portion of incoming damage.

AQUABLADES
Tear through foes with a trio of orbiting aquatic blades.

RIPTIDE
Drag enemies into a crushing maelstrom and then blow them away in a watery burst. Each enemy trapped in the vortex increases the burst’s damage.

PASSIVE: Yareli gains 100% increased critical chance for Secondary Weapons when she has been moving for at least 1.5 seconds.



Find Yareli and her full Waverider Collection in the in-game Market, including the Yareli Physalia Helmet, Kompressa Pistol, Merulina Syandana and 3-Day Affinity and Credit Boosters.






Prepare to set your Fashion Frame ablaze with white-hot Customizations from the Ember Pyraxis Collection, including the Ember Pyraxis Skin, the Volca Syandana and the Plazm Flamethrower Skin.




Each of the main Syndicates have expanded their offerings to include specialty Armor Sets, inspired by their unique aesthetics and styles. Mix these striking pieces into your Fashion Frame to show where your loyalties lie, or express yourself in-game using a slew of new Emotes.


An alternate Helmet for Harrow, minister of the Void’s veiled verses. Find this Helmet in the in-game Market or as part of future Nightwave Cred Offerings rotations.




The final showdown with your Kuva Liches will now take place in the Proximas via Railjack, similar to the Sisters.

Confront Liches faster in three new ways: a streamlined Murmur system that identifies known Requiems faster; Oull — a Requiem Mod dropped exclusively from Liches that counts as a known Requiem no matter where it’s slotted on your Parazon; and the new Requiem Ultimatum — a Gear item that can be used on any influence node to summon your Lich or Sister for a fight on your terms.

Liches have also been reinforced with three new Kuva Weapons that will give your Arsenal a ferocious edge, should you choose to take them for yourself:



KUVA HEK
Forged at the behest of the Worm Queen herself, this already powerful shotgun now has the additional ability to fire from all four barrels simultaneously.



KUVA ZARR
An even stronger Zarr cannon to meet the demands of Kuva Liches. With stronger explosive barrages, and long-range flak shots.



KUVA GRATTLER
Reconfigured for maximum lethality, this powerful Arch-gun still shatters targets with explosive shells, but now reaches its peak fire-rate instantaneously.


Ticker’s Elite Crewmates are available via Command Intrinsic Rank 10, featuring extra Competency Points plus an additional bonus trait based on their existing strengths, be they Piloting, Gunnery or Engineering.


Although Void Storms remain as dangerous as ever, they now offer up exciting new Rewards: Corrupted Holokeys! Collect these valuable Corpus artifacts, bring them to Ergo Glast at any Relay and trade for new Tenet briefcase Melee Weapons, complete with bonus elemental damage! One of four Tenet Melee Weapons will be available each week in Glast’s rotation, so check back regularly with a fresh stash of Holokeys:



TENET AGENDUS
Drive the agenda with this massive impact hammer. Heavy attacks launch devastating energy disks.

TENET EXEC
Leverage bleeding-edge Granum tech with this massive heavy blade. Slam sends forth a cascading set of three shockwaves, while Heavy Slam unleashes a swath of shockwaves.

TENET LIVIA
The sleek lines of the Granum Attaché case conceal an infinitely sharp two-handed blade. Blocked attacks have a chance to increase the blocking angle. Note: The Granum Attaché system pauses the combo timer when holstered.



TENET GRIGORI
On Heavy Slide Attack this Corpus scythe launches a spinning energy disk that ricochets throughout the battlefield. Its lifetime is derived from the size of the Combo Counter. Note: The Granum Attaché system pauses the combo timer when holstered.


You’ve worked hard for your weapons, Tenno, and we want you to use them! In an effort to make Warframe’s combat experience feel more even-handed, we’re addressing the growing imbalance between Melee and Primary/Secondary Weapons. Certain Melee Mods (as well as Glaive Weapons) will see a reduction in strength, while Arcane Slots plus a new series of Galvanized Mods will be introduced to both Primary and Secondary Weapons. This will encourage players of all Ranks to change up their weaponry based on strategy and tactics, rather than simply equipping what’s most powerful.

For full details on Melee Weapon changes, check out our Dev Workshop here.


Brand-new Galvanized Mods will be earnable via Arbitrations! To learn more about these powerful Mods for Primary/Secondary Weapons check out our Dev Workshop here.


Walking the Steel Path has never been this rewarding, Tenno. Teshin’s Steel Path Honors are expanding to include exciting new Rewards such as a new Shotgun Mod and the highly-anticipated Veiled Riven Cipher.


The hidden blade of the Tenno is getting an upgrade to allow for easier Mercy Kills on all Eximus Units, Grineer Heavy Gunners and Bombards, Corpus Scrambus and Nullifiers, as well as Infested Ancients.

Increase your Parazon’s power even further with eight deadly new Mods that grant bonuses for hacks and Mercy Kills. For full details check out our Dev Workshop here.


With all of the new additions to the Origin System as part of Sisters of Parvos, Tenno will have the chance to push themselves further than ever and earn prestigious Rewards with the all-new Legendary Rank 1. Will you rise to the challenge, Tenno?


Visit Son in the Necralisk on Deimos to outfit your Helminth with an upgrade capable of bestowing all-new Helminth Invigorations. Each week, your Helminth will offer up week-long buffs to three random Warframes. Maybe you’ll get extra crit chance and armor if you play as Atlas, or increased Melee Damage and Ability Efficiency if you load out as Excalibur. The options are endless and reset at the end of each week, so if you’re feeling a little rusty with any of the Warframes in your Arsenal, now’s the perfect time to dust them off for practice!

But that’s not the only thing your favorite stowaway has been chewing on. Visit the Helminth Infirmary in your Orbiter to give your Warframes one of five new Helminth Abilities, created with the help of our trusty Design Council!

GOLDEN INSTINCT
Send out a short-lived Void Spark that is drawn toward the nearest Medallion, Ayatan Sculpture, unscanned Kuria or unscanned Fragment.

HIDEOUS RESISTANCE
Grant yourself immunity to Status Effects.

VORACIOUS METASTASIS
Consume Energy to heal yourself and grant matching Energy to each ally.

PARASITIC ARMOR
Sacrifice Shields to reinforce Armor for a period of time.

SICKENING PULSE
Emit a pulse that adds stacks to Status Effects already afflicting enemies, except Bleed or Toxin effects which are duplicated with fresh timers.


Revert your favorite Kubrow or Kavat to their undeveloped juvenile state with the new Regress Genetic Aging option available in your Incubator! There’s no limit to the number of times you can revert your Companion, and their former stats and Customizations will remain intact should you change your mind. We have also removed DNA Stability and Loyalty degradation from the Companion System entirely, so you can spend more time fighting alongside your Pets and less time maintaining them.

Greetings, Captains,

Our latest client, v8.1.0 is now live on Facebook and Steam. It will be rolled out to Windows, Google Play, and iOS next week, followed by a release on our other android platforms (Amazon, Huawei, and Samsung).

This new update will introduce various changes, some of these changes will only go live once all players are on v8.1.0. A forced update is currently scheduled for 07/14 after which v8.1.0 will be mandatory to continue playing.

What’s new in v8.1.0?

Main interface
- the Limited Offers can now be found on the right side of the screen instead of the left
- the new Purchase Menu replaces the Time Portal button and gives access to
- the Time Portal
- the Faction Trading Center
- the Celestial Market (not live yet)

Faction Trading Center
Enjoy a warpless faction shopping experience, all faction trading centers are now accessible with one click, without the need to travel.

Expanded crew details in Crew inventory
Managing one’s roster is usually done from within Crew inventory, as such we’ve streamlined the experience. Full crew stats and crew retrieval access are now also available from within detailed crew stats.

Celestial Market (not live yet)
The Celestial Market goes hand in hand with Crew Retrieval to provide you with a path to obtain/complete the crew that matter to you. Find/keep an eye out for that one polestar you’re missing or sell unwanted constellations/polestars. All transactions use ISM as currency.

For an overview of Celestial Market please check this link: https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/18272/an-overview-of-the-celestial-market

Constellations/Polestars Inventory
Constellations and Polestars can be found in their respective tabs in your inventory, as opposed to regular game items. Selecting a Constellation/Polestar will show additional options:

- Polestars
View in Retrieval: will allow you to access Crew Retrieval and see which crew are available by using that specific Polestar

Constellations/Polestars - Not live yet:
- Sell Now: this option will be displayed if there is at least one order available in the Celestial Market, and will allow you to quickly sell to fulfill that order
- Sell: this option will be displayed when there are no Orders for that constellation/polestar in the Celestial Market, and will allow you to create a listing to offer it for sale
- Dematerialize: allows you to get rid of a Constellation for 300 ISM, and of a Polestar for 800 ISM.

Crew Retrieval Confirmation
Based on feedback we’ve iterated on the confirmation pop up when retrieving crew, making it clearer by bringing attention to the size of the pool you are retrieving from.

We hope that you’ll enjoy these updates and we are looking forward to your feedback!

Thank you for playing,

The STAR TREK TIMELINES Team

• Now on hard and hardcore difficulty, the AI will try to buy only the best unit of each category. Currently, in normal and easy, there's only a small chance he will be getting the very last tech. So, in hard, you will see a LOT of heavy inf, and only the most expensive / basically the best stuff.
  
• Jagdpanzer E100 renamed in Jagdpanther II.
  
• The player settings will now be saved when closing the game while playing.

• Extra HP for rank superior to 1 was not granted. You stayed at 100.
  
• AI going for reinforcement tiles.

Hello everyone,

Today, we’re very happy to announce the release of alpha update 174 of War of Rights! Before we will get into the patch notes themselves, let us take a brief look at 3 of the major additions update 174 brings to War of Rights: Battle reports & the historical events being narrated, overhauled artillery physics and last but certainly not least: the biggest client & server performance improvements we have released yet!




Starting from today, players will be presented with a battle report as the round ends. The battle report consists of an overview map of the finished skirmish or picket patrol area, showing a 30 second timelapse of the entire round, with animated markers such as Union or Confederate skirmishing units, line formations, artillery, casualties, etc.


Battle Report at Evening East Woods in action.

This is not all that has changed with the “inter-skirmish area flow” in the game in this update, however. Update 174 also brings new unique victory screens for each skirmish area and a “Historical Events” narration written and presented by Campfire Games Historical Advisor George Crecy. This is part of our continued efforts in pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in terms of historical and geographical context in a multiplayer game and how said context is best presented to the players.

If you wish to read a more complete run-down of the new features listed above, you can do so by checking out our latest Field Report.


The transport system originally developed to support artillery in its initial implementation last summer has now been upgraded to a vehicle system, sporting much more accurate physics for the cannons and limbers, resulting in more realistic behavior when pushed over an uneven terrain, down a steep slope, etc.

The upgrade also means that players can no longer enter an artillery seat (such as pushing the wheels) while it is blocked by the environment.

The introduction of the vehicle system is also an integral part in bringing future content additions such as mounted infantry officers, horse drawn artillery and mounted cavalry to the game.


Update 174 brings major CPU performance improvements for both clients as well as servers achieved by several code optimizations implemented by our programmers the past few months in an effort to gain more performance headroom to make higher player counts on the servers a possibility in the future.

Below is a comparison of the results of the in-game benchmark results in update 173 (66 FPS) and update 174 (81 FPS) using the same hardware and options settings.



We expect to be able to test a 200 player cap in the days or weeks following the release of today’s update (depending on how many bugs & issues surface when mass testing begins today) so please keep an eye out for an announcement in the near future if you wish to take part in the test.
