• Players who chose not to link their accounts when they started the game can now reopen the linking window through the main menu of the game.
  
• Players whose Steam accounts are linked to a Gaijin.Net account created on console will now be able to link another Gaijin.Net account when starting the game.
  
• Fixed inaccuracies in the description of the account linking interface.

Hello, Detectives.

This is the Gadget Crimes Division.

We, at the Gadget Crimes Division, are constantly thinking about how to make your investigative experience more smooth and more enjoyable. We also want to share relevant updates swiftly, so we have been monitoring your investigation progress and listening to feedback collected through various channels. Here’s a sneak peek at upcoming features.


1. Additional Supported Languages

AI crimes are happening all around the globe even as we speak (inside the game). Currently, the game is available in 8 languages (Korean/English/Japanese/Simplified Chinese/Traditional Chinese/French/German/Spanish-Spain). To support as many Detectives from around the world and to ensure seamless investigations being conducted, we are in preparation to add "Italian," "Brazilian-Portuguese," and "Polish" as well. Some languages may require additional review time and process due to policy-related issues, so please note that some might not be available on our targeted date of launch. We will keep you posted about the progress as we go. We plan to continue adding more languages in the future, so if you have any language preferences you’d like to see implemented quickly, please share your thoughts on our Discord channel!


2. Improvements to the Case Solving Methods

Uncover the Smoking Gun aims to provide the thrill of deduction through various evidence and suspect interrogations, rather than solving preset puzzles. This can sometimes lead to ambiguous situations and moments where detectives need to make decisive judgments in response to ambiguous or misleading answers from robots. While we have considered more controlled input methods (e.g., multiple-choice options), we strive to allow your free thought and input throughout the entire case.

However, the criteria for correct answers have been very strict, and some bugs prevented proper scoring of the cases. We are working to add more variants to the criteria (accepting similar answers as correct) and continue to check and fix bugs. Although this new approach in detective games may initially cause some frustration, we believe it adds unique value to the enjoyment of deduction. We ask for your continued reports and support.


3. Consideration of Robot Statements

We aim to allow the robot's statements to be more free-formed as long as they do not fundamentally contradict the investigation. Given the infinite range of questions detectives can ask, it’s nearly impossible to regulate all statements. Nonetheless, to ensure the smooth progress of investigations and the game, we are considering expanding the variants for the [Calibrating Response] answers. We will continue to improve so that the core experience of free questioning and robot statements is effectively conveyed.


4. Soundtrack Compilation

When directing the game’s soundtrack, we put great thought into how to convey the atmosphere of each case and how to optimize the beats and composition to enhance the investigative focus. Thankfully, many detectives shared their love and support for our soundtrack and mentioned how it enhances the immersion and perfectly matches the crime scene atmosphere. We are working on preparing a high-quality soundtrack compilation for you which we will announce separately.


Oh, and other than the Gadget Crimes Division’s announcements, we are also planning to run a session called, "Q's story", where our Director Q will share honest and straightforward stories. We think you'd be thrilled to hear them!



Also, did you know that Uncover the Smoking Gun has a Discord server? We have Hailey, our CM monitoring and communicating with all the detectives in Korean and English (so far). It's a space where detectives can freely discuss and share anything from bugs and improvement suggestions to major spoilers that can’t be contained. We look forward to seeing you there frequently as well. She (it's me actually) hopes to meet every one of you and talk about the game!

修复了琳娜无条件直接出现在亘古战场的问题

Hello,

I've updated the game to address some issues and add in additional features:

0.91 -> 0.911
- Changed traffic system (for cars) to properly spawn cars from road nodes rather than from a hidden position under buildings. This way, vehicles can be pooled and reused when needed. Traffic will now appear more regularly, as opposed to roads looking empty when panning to a new area. This system is also more performant. I've also made traffic more dense. There are still a few issues with vehicles sometimes losing their way.
- Added being able to paint additional blocks.
- Improved mapping of paint on blocks to make collision detection during painting better.

- Fixed issue with painting certain blocks (due to a rounding error in a vector).
- Fixed part of text missing in tooltip when placing buildings.
- Fixed commercial buildings being locked in "Basic city planning" tutorial.
- Fixed tutorialwindow sometimes not closing.
- Fixed there being a few missing blocks in the tourism tutorial.
- Fixed being able to destroy special blocks even when buildings were placed on top.

Welcome to the first of our expanded iteration of our community newsletters! Just as with the legacy editions of the community newsletters, we’ll look at a variety of mods from newsletter to newsletter, but we will also include a deeper look into community content including streamers, videos, shorts, and art!

As this is our first dive back into the greater Ready or Not community, we’ll be taking a look at a wide variety of materials. Over the years, many very talented individuals have taken an astonishing amount of high-quality content including, but not limited to screenshots, videos, and cosplays!

Since this is our first community newsletter since the official launch of Ready or Not, we have more than half a year of incredible community content to choose from. To start, we’ll be featuring the bread and butter of the Ready or Not Community, the humble screenshot.

1. Averdance – Discord

The entry team emerges out of the early morning fog in this piece by Averdance, a somber balance of orange and blue hues providing contrasting highlights alongside the clean cinematography, creating a wonderfully tense atmosphere.


2. Mxray – Steam

A great sketch-over screenshot, utilizing both subtle and not-so-subtle effects to create an image that is equally at home serving as both an album cover and as a hit piece found in a suspects den.
Going by the X’s on this officer’s eyes, they may in fact have not been ready.


3. S ❥ – Steam

A well composed team is captured by a RoN-inspired ragdoll model pose within Garry’s Mod. Effective CQB tactics reach far beyond Los Sueños― do check your muzzle awareness, though.


4. Delioth – Discord

Titled ’FIRST ATTEMPT OKAY’, Delioth composed a clean spread of officers loaded to the brim with non-lethals, show that despite their lack of deadly qualities the non-lethal primaries do cut a imposing figure in the hands of an experienced officer.


All incredible works of art, the community at large continues to show off both the absolute best and worst that Los Sueños has to offer with a stunning use of cinematography and a tasteful amount of photo editing.

Taking a brief trip back to reality, skill and in some cases sense of humor shines through their creations and re-creations.

1. Kuro - Photography Contest



Submitted by Kuro, this particular piece was one of the runners up for our Photography contest that we hosted in 2022. It showed off not only the editing skills of the submitter, but the place that the deeper lore of Ready or Not holds in the hearts of our community.

2. Royourboy - Photography Contest



Submitted by Royourboy, this incredibly clean and atmospheric piece won the hearts of both the community and the Development team, earning itself a permanent place in Ready or Not itself.
