A little mischief and mayhem never hurt anyone...except the bad guys! Today we're introducing our new Beastmoon Monster Mayhem event.

How Does it Work?

Upon entering a match, creatures are spawned across the map to fight. Defeat all those monsters to spawn a powerful boss in the middle of the map. During the boss fight, Artemis will place some additional monsters outside the Spiral battle which unlock buffs for the players in the boss battle when defeated! If you succeed in defeating the first boss in the time allotted, you’ll move onto the second wave. If you can quickly make your way through three waves of monsters and bosses, you’ll win the whole event!

Be wary – this is very challenging and only the most skilled, coordinated, and luckiest Wizards will make their way through the whole event!

The Beastmoon Monster Mayhem Event has unique repeatable objectives to challenge your skills! See Meleager while the event is active for more information!

Beastmoon Monster Mayhem Vs. Beastmoon Hunt

Unlike the Beastmoon Hunt, Beastmoon Monster Mayhem is a PvE event – meaning that you won’t be playing against other players. Instead, your enemy is the clock and waves and waves of monsters! Available beastforms in both events are the same. If you have unlocked or tiered up a Beastform in one event, it will be unlocked and/or tiered up in the other event as well.

To unlock Beast Forms, Gold Beastmoon Idols are needed. Only one Gold Beastmoon Idol is required per Beast Form and is permanent for that character.

Beastmoon Monster Mayhem Rewards

Mayhem will be rewarded! You’ll be able to work towards some great rewards including:

• Lunari
  
• Beastmoon Seeds
  
• Reagents to craft a special school-specific Beastmoon gear
  
• And more!

Participate in matches and fill up your personal progress bar to receive them!

There’s a lot to discover about the Beastmoon Monster Mayhem Event! To learn more, speak to Artemis in the arena while the event is live.

More good news! Earning points in the Beastmoon Monster Mayhem Event will also earn you points towards your Scroll of Fortune progress for even more rewards.

The following can be toggled: Head, Pelvis, Left/Right Arm, Left/Right Leg, and Locomotion
Eye movement is now much more reliable, consistent, and adheres to set limits
A new setting is available to force all subjects to look at the Portable Camera when held
Reworked the local player Shadow Clone utilizing new tech afforded to us with the update to Unity 2021.
It now respects Unity/Magica Cloth & material swaps, while also being more performant.
Available under Experimental settings, this idea builds off of the same tech as the new Shadow Clones.
Turns the local player into a "Visual Clone", which is basically a Shadow Clone, but visible in first person, and does head-hiding within the same pass.
Improvements in voice stability and reconnection handling
New Focus Attenuation settings including: Nearby, Speaker, Forward, Backward, and Angle adjustment
Alternative experimental rendering method for videos
Enable using the --enable-libvlc launch option
Allows native Quest hand tracking to be use with CVR on PCVR

1. Enable the OpenXR runtime for ChilloutVR using the launch option `--force-openxr` in Steam
   
2. Enable Forward tracking data to PC in the Streaming tab of Virtual Desktop
   
3. Set the OpenXR Runtime in the Virtual Desktop Streamer to VDXR
   
4. Launch ChilloutVR from Virtual Desktop’s Game tab

Note: This implementation is still a work in progress in both Virtual Desktop and ChilloutVR. Experiences may vary as this feature is further developed.

Along with this update, CCK 3.8 will release tomorrow.

Do you have what it takes to ace the ghastly test that awaits you? Wizards level 10 and above can showcase their spell-slinging skills as they claw their way to the top of the Death Deckathalon Tower. With no bonuses from your gear, level, or the ability to use regular trained spells, it’ll just be up to you, your treasure cards, and a well-crafted strategy to fight your way through 30 floors of frightful enemies. Those who manage to reach the top will be challenged by Dworgyn himself!

Each Wizard will gain three entries into the Death Deckathalon per day. Upon entry, you’ll be able to climb the tower as high as you can until you’re defeated or run out of treasure cards. Once you run out of entries, you’ll need to wait for the next day to claim more.

As you battle to the top of the tower, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase crafting recipes that may help you on your journey to becoming a top Deckathlete. After all, only the most dedicated Wizards will rise to the top of the leaderboard! High ranking Deckathletes can earn unique badges and trophies for their achievements.

Defeating monsters in the Deckathalon and using treasure cards in battle will contribute points to your individual progress bar. Accumulating enough points can reap great rewards such as the all-powerful Hands of Fate weapon and cute Death Class Pet!

Dear C&C Community,

It’s been a few years since I had the opportunity to reach out and engage with you directly. I’ve truly missed that. I hope you have all stayed safe, healthy, and positive since my last post in September of 2020.

I realize many of you have been wondering about the status of Command & Conquer over the past several years. After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection, I told our Community Council I would continue to try and find opportunities to support the C&C community and franchise wherever possible. With that in mind, I do have an announcement we think the entire C&C Community can get excited about. The C&C Ultimate Collection is now live on Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/

How did this come to happen? Well, a while back I heard some team members at EA had the desire to launch some of our classic titles on Steam. After hearing about this initiative, several of us proposed we include the C&C Ultimate Collection. We knew this has been a request of the C&C community for over a decade, and has been an equal goal of us passionate C&C folks around the company. As such, a dedicated strike team here at EA has been pushing to make this a reality - but we knew we couldn't do it alone. So in the spirit of our community collaboration from the Remastered Collection, we reached out to a small group of the C&C Community to understand how we could best deliver the Ultimate Collection on Steam.

The feedback and collaboration has once again been invaluable. With improvements like better compatibility for modern operating systems and additional supported languages for both the Steam and EA App versions, we believe this is the best release of the Ultimate Collection to date.
Alongside the launch of the Ultimate Collection on Steam, we are also excited to announce the release of the beloved map editors FinalSun and FinalAlert 2 under the GPL version 3.0 license, which can also be launched directly from the Steam version of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. Now over 20 years since their initial release, original creator Matthias Wagner has generously repackaged these classic editors into a more compatible version for 2024. This was achievable thanks to the technical collaboration with Luke "CCHyper" Feenan, and the kindness of Olaf van der Spek, who has graciously released his XCC Library under the GPL 3.0 license as part of this effort. We cannot thank Matthias, Luke, and Olaf enough for making this a reality for the C&C community, and are eager to see where the tools and content creation go from here.

A huge thank you to the community playtesters who helped provide feedback on this version of the Ultimate Collection, and the organizations of CnCNet, W3DHub, and C&C Online for continuing to support these classic titles. We hope you all enjoy these improvements to the C&C Ultimate Collection - available today on Steam.

Until next time.

Cheers,
Jim Vessella

This is a small update to fix a few things from the latest release.

• The Palace is more difficult to complete than intended. To fix this, the final boss has had its health reduced, and the number of minions it spawns is reduced as well. The final boss sequence is also now set-up as optional - the Palace will be marked as completed for purposes of Quests if you survive the 20 minutes, even if the final boss was not killed.
  
• Make treasure chests move out of walls, if they spawned there. This issue was made more apparent by the larger walls of the Palace. This fix makes it so you'll always be able to access a chest that drop.
  
• Adjust the Bandages and Magnet to be more powerful. These were nerfed as a side effect of switching from multiplicative to additive scaling, which wasn't the intention.
  
• Fix a bug where the end round timer was sometimes over 20 minutes.
  
• Fix a bug with Phoenixes were there was way more spawning than intended. An extra phoenix was getting spawned every time a phoenix egg hatched.
  
• Fix the rotation of a chunk in the underground that accidentally got spun around.
  
• Fix the damage of the roman candle weapon. It's damage was accidentally set to low after the most recent balance pass.
  
• Fix a bug where Javelin bonus damage was getting added multiple times when it should not have been, when multiple Javelins all hit at once.

Thanks for playing Orc Survivor!

Sorry for not updating the game in a while. I've been doing a last patch for b1.4 with some enhancements and QoL features :)
After this I'll start making b1.5.

• Added special effect when an already used word is used.
  
• Added `Training` and `Arena` main menu options as stub.
  
• Added dynamic resolution support.
  
• Both `Settings` and `Manage Packs` menus received an overhaul and may get new improvements in the future.
  • Added `Developer Mode` setting which allows you to enable the Debug Mode.
    
  • Added `Header Deco` settings to change how the top banner is displayed.
    
  • Improved general UX.
    
  • Moved choosing default packs to the manage content menu.
• Added new lobby visibility options:
  • Changed `Public Lobby` check box for a toggler with 3 options: Private, Friends Only and Public.
    
  • Added a new option to disable non hosts to create invite links or invite other players. (Probably this doesn't work for all the cases anyways)
    
  • Moved the game mode selection toggler to the first section of the lobby settings.
• Added new directories to game's path: `screenshots`, `modes`
  
• Improved the quitting procedure of the game
  
• Improved log verbosity.
  
• Improved feedback when taking a screenshot, now it displays a white flash.
  
• Remade settings system, avoiding future crashes. Your current settings will be lost when you update probably :P
  
• Remade logging system to improve performance.
  
• Fix: Folder `.tempdata` from the game's path was not removed upon quitting the game
  
• Fix: Transitions were not working as expected during splash screen when the `Screen Transitions` setting is disabled
  
• Fix: Under certain circumstances, the game won't be displayed on the taskbar after starting it until you interact with it.
  
• Fix: Lobby settings could be modified during countdown, potentially leading into crashes.
  
• Fix: Crash related to pack reading within the lobby
  
• Fix: Logs from crashed runs were not copied to its respective folder.
  
• Removed subtitle system. In the main menu under your username it only displays "Player"
  
• Now Developer Mode is required to enable debug mode
  
• Now debug mode allows you to start solo games again like in past versions

I hope you enjoy these new features and improvements ^^
Happy battling!

🚨 Progress Report. 🚨
📈 Lost Life Origins Progress (23.12.23-07.03.24) 📆
(Steam - v15)
▪ Unreal Engine 5.3.2
🛠 Update to Unreal Engine 5.3.2
🛠 Many small bug fixes.
🛠 UI/HUD improvements and fixes.
🛠 Ice World 01 HDRI fix.
🛠 Ice World 01 Collision Fix.
🛠 Achievement UI prototype. (Even though I made progress on the achievement system, I decided to scrap it for now and focus on other tasks.)
🛠 Some translation errors fixes.
🛠 Act 3 test location.
🛠 Weapon hit indicator.
🛠 AI improvements.
🛠 Some voice lines were attached to wrong sound volume sliders.
🛠 Mansion secret door button moved to a table drawer because many players couldn't find it behind the painting.
‼ There were a lot more changes, but I forgot to document some of them...

📋 Next on the list :
▪ Bug fix, quality improvements...
▪ Act 3.

‼ I apologize for lack of updates in past months. There were some stability issues that cause constant crashes and made the game unplayable. Now looks like that bug is fixed.
‼ In past months, I've been thinking a lot about the future of the project, story, concept of act 3 and game in general.
One of possible directions of the game will be adding multiplayer with survival co-op mode that will expand the world and lore of the game.
Act 1 and 2 is pretty big but with act 3 planned to be 4 times bigger with even more unique monsters. So, exploring it in co-op mode may give a really interesting online experience, while I work on new story elements for single player mode.

‼ Feel free to share your thoughts/ideas in comments, on discord or my Saturday GameDev live streams on YouTube.

And as always, thank you all for your support! 🙇‍♂️
