Hello Automoji fans!

Just wanted to give a quick update on the state of development. Pack #3 is about halfway complete! This pack will be centered around giving your units held food that persist between battles. I have 20 out of 35ish units complete, then just need to make sure the pack is balanced (and fun!)

🌶️🍋 Pack 3 in Action! 🍋🌶️



Beyond that, I added a ❓Mystery Space❓ on the map that can be a boss battle, shop, item, or one of the new "Special Rooms". Hopefully that adds a bit more strategy to your route on the map!




As far as other additions that might make it in this update: I would like to add a few new enemy types with another 10+ battle formations per tier. I have a few new items in mind to implement as well! Pack #3 is my primary focus, but it's always nice to have backup projects when you run into coder's block.

My apologies for the gap in updates, life has been very busy lately. But I hope to make your patience worth the wait! Thank you as always for supporting Automoji!

Happy gaming,
-Karl @AutomojiGame

There has been lots of feedback since the 0.4.0 version release (multiplayer). I've fixed a ton of bugs related to multiplayer as well as some general bugs. Mainly things like items not synced in work stations should be improved and syncing a lot better. I'm sure there are still some issues with this, but hopefully they are uncommon. I do hope they are reported if found. I want to get around to more features/things to do and hopefully I can now that a bunch of bugs have been knocked out. I still have much planned.

By equipping Skills, your character can actively or passively activate special effects. There are more than 30 types of Skills available in the game.With the right mix of Skills, your character can gain a wealth of tactical options.

In addition to enhancing your character, you can personalize your character by equipping Freestyle Skills and Ceremony Skills.


FSFR's main currencies include: Points, Coins, E-Coins and Scout EXPs.
Points are the most widely used currency in FSFR .You can earn points by playing games and game events.
Coins can be used to purchase various premium items.
E-Coins can be used to purchase items in place of Coins (some items cannot be purchased with E-Coins). E-Coins can be obtained by participating in in-game events.
See Scout Library for details

In Scout library, you can use Scout EXPs and points to recruit new special characters and buy character fragments.

For every match you win (competitive mode only), you will receive 1-3 Scout EXPs.
You can consume Scout EXPs to unlock Scout Library progress and consume Points to recruit specific Special Characters.
After the recruitment, you can buy Character Fragments with Scout EXPs
If you're not interested in any of the above or have already unlocked all the content, you can buy Butterfly Ninja's Capsule with Scout EXPs, which might contains some unexpected surprise.
More Special Characters will be added to Scout Library in the future.

1. Are you planning on actually promoting the game by advertising or getting streamers to play the game? And will there be any rewards for streamers from this game ？

We have placed advertisements through Google, and we will continue to adjust according to the results. We have a steamer plan based on Twitch but it will take some time to realize.

2. Will you provide Portuguese/Spanish language support for the game?

We have provided English support for the game and we will continue to update it until it is correct and nice（it's far from perfect now）. Support for other languages is in the long-term plan, but this will take a long time.

3. Which areas will be covered？

Europe, North America, South America

4. When will the beta version be released？


The test version is adapting to the server, and all the work is going on as scheduled

5. Will it be possible to unlock additional skill slots for free or will they be locked behind a paywall like in the previous steam version？

Skill Slot can be obtained through Coins, E-Coins purchases or mission rewards

6. Will the data of the beta version be retained? Will I get in-game rewards for participating in the beta service?

The data of the beta version will not be retained. Players participate in beta will receive rewards.

7. Can players still create default characters?

Not in the first version of FSFR. Canceling the default character is to reduce the gap between new players and old players, so as to achieve the balance of the game. But the default characters do not leave us forever. We are creating a unique growth mode for them, and they will return in the future update.

8. Will characters be cross server？

Yes

I would like to thank KiyamaHiroto & Ginohax and the others who have provided help and advice to the Discord community management. Thank you for all your help!

Dear Wildlife Nurturers,

Update: Apologies that the game can't be released on time as planned. We make some changes and the game is still in the review queue now. Thus, it is unavailable to be released to the store now.

We will get the game released as soon as it is available. Hope it can be released within this week. It will be released next week at the latest.

_________________________________________________________

We are coming. The game is set to be released at 06:00 pm PDT on Aug 24th, 2022. Stay tuned!
The price is $2.99 with in-game purchase items. We will offer 10% off for the first release.
Hope you can enjoy this game :)

Hello! We're here with a bugfix patch that accompanies a big gameplay change.

Unfortunately, we'll have to wipe your shop progress this patch. We're very sorry about that! We'll try to keep the number of times this occurs to a low number, but sometimes it's necessary in this playtest build as we rework our save system + shop systems throughout the coming months.




A big thing we're focusing on in the coming weeks is shop progression. There are a few things we want to introduce to the playtest build throughout the weeks, most notably NPC employees, but we'll start with the basics first: customer flow.

For this patch, we're experimenting with customers spawning in groups. If you run your shop well, you'll see larger groups of customers appear more often.



We've heard a lot of feedback from players that there's a subset of players who don't enjoy the bartering minigame.

We're planning on having automation take over mid to late game in the form of NPC employees who'll cash out customers at the register and self-serve machines where customers can check themselves out.

For now, we've added a Quick Sale Register to the game to alleviate this pain point for players who don't enjoy the bartering minigame. It's quite fun to just run over and cash people out instantly, if you're more of an adventurer type gamer who wants to get back out there!

Let us know how these changes feel over at https://discord.gg/Saleblazers!


- Added Quick Sale Register to the Research Table, which allows you to skip the bartering minigame but only sell items for their base price
- Added group spawning, which is tied to your shop reputation
- Reduced customer patience drain rate by half
- Added the Firestack attribute
Firestack is applied on hit from certain fire based items such as the Torch. Instead of instantly setting entities on fire, you must now apply 3 stacks of Firestack on the entity.
- Added first pass of GPU Instancer to building pieces to improve performance on large player builds
- Reduced Trash Bag HP
- Trash Bag item now explodes on impact when thrown
- Moved customer spawn points closer to the shop in the Steam Survival Fest map
- Police now spawn from any point in the map that players can't see, instead of predetermined spawn locations
- Updated ocean sounds
- Changed language of sale results to be less abrasive
- Police can no longer report crimes because they caused too many police officers to spawn
- Changed bartering minigame difficulty based on base price
- Rebalanced customer flow progression based on shop reputation
- Improved and optimized footstep VFX
- Added more weapon hit variation support
- Changed several item SFX

- Fixed building hammer UI not appearing when loading in from a save sometimes
- Fixed rare crash for host and client when crafting
- Fixed shop progress not saving/loading
- Fixed being able to shift click into containers even if they are the wrong size for the container
- Fixed Bamboo item display textures
- Fixed issue where hovering over a recipe's ingredient wouldn't show the item's name
- Fixed some salvage items duplicating constantly in the Steam Survival Fest map
- Fixed order of operations for money pickup so that it always subtracts from the total
- Fixed bug where item rarity would change when freshly crafted and when placed in player inventory
- Optimized several shaders/textures for memory usage improvements
- Fixed rare case where some customers weren't being networked
- Fixed out of bounds error with network manager
- Fixed issue where player is unable to pick up their money when the first money item comes from a sale
- Fixed physics items not disabling physics if they get picked up manually
- Fixed bug where inventory slot UI shows item after taking it out
- Fixed save system reading wrong inventory if there are multiple inventories in an object
- Removed extra needs manager from the bamboo tree, which should help with performance
- Fixed bug where keybinds didn't save properly
- Optimized shader usage for memory optimization
- Fixed NRE in AI behavior which caused AI to get stuck sometimes

As one of the favorite creatures of many travelers, the popularity of dinosaurs in Chimeraland has remained high, and recently, several dinosaurs have appeared in Chimeraland! On top of that, the Dinosaur Museum has been made available for travelers to participate in related gameplays to get dinosaur ornaments, advanced equipment, and many more rewards!


As Chimeraland is set in ancient times, it's also a time when all kinds of dinosaurs were active.
Previously, only Hornbirdgon, Parasaurus, Smobirdgon, Yungang Dragon were seen in Chimeraland, but with the launching of the global version, a variety of dinosaurs have emerged, and more dinosaurs will join in the fun subsequently. And now, ultra-realistic Tyrannosaur, Spikeback Dragon, Jindipelta, Brontosaur, Velociraptor, Pterosaur, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and many more dinosaurs have arrived in Chimeraland. So, what are you waiting for? Start looking for them!
When you find a dinosaur, all you've to do is reduce their HP till the [Capture Now] appears above their heads, and you'll be able to capture it with the mustard-shot crossbow!




Other than encountering dinosaurs, you might also come across some Strange Eggs that appear randomly throughout Chimeraland.



You can knock on the Strange Eggs to spawn a random dinosaur. Note: You'll need to seal-break Noble and above dinosaurs that are found in Chimeraland first before challenging them, but dinosaurs spawned from Strange Eggs will not require a seal and can be killed or captured immediately. So, what are you waiting for? Go try it out for yourself!


You can even have your very own DIY Dinosaur! After the update, dinosaurs and other pets can all be morphed and dyed freely! Just open the pet interface, tap on Appearance > Change Appearance, and you'll be able to start morphing.
You can change the size, position, angle, height, depth, width, and other parameters of each part of a dinosaur. Even Devoured parts can be morphed to your heart's content!
Now that you know morphing can be so much fun, of course we can't just leave out dyeing! Each dinosaur part can be dyed separately, and there are 3 shades on the dyeing palette to choose from, including Depth, Bright, and Color!
With morphing, dyeing, and devouring, I'm sure you'll be able to customize your very own dinosaur!




The Perks Giveaways 7-Day Sign-in Event is here! During the event, continuous logins to the game grants a cute dinosaur suit for free! You won't want to miss this! There'll also be plenty of other Perks such as Maturity Pills, Candy Wallpapers, and cultivation resources!




In addition to encountering dinosaurs in the wild, travelers can also visit the Dinosaur Museum in the main city to see dinosaurs up close and take photos with them! Not only does the Dinosaur Museum contain many realistic dinosaur models, travelers can also participate in the Dinosaur Trivia.



To find out how much you like dinosaurs, just complete the trivia! Go to the Dinosaur Museum to find the Event Envoy and participate in daily trivia to earn Event Points. Event Points can be exchanged for various prizes at the Event Envoy, so make sure to get your hands on them!


During the event, you can tap on [Dinosaur Battle] to start matching. After successfully matching with your teammates, you'll need to defeat the Boss—Tyrannosaur to obtain the Challenge Rewards.

Once challenged successfully, in addition to obtaining Event Points to exchange for items in the Shop, you can also obtain a Dino Mystery Box that can only be claimed once a day.
After opening the Dino Mystery Box, travelers stand a chance to obtain a Temporary Dinosaur Pack, Suit - Dinosaur Headwear, and a Permanent Dinosaur Pack! After opening the Permanent Dinosaur Pack, travelers will obtain a random permanent dinosaur egg, which grants up to an 8000-year Tyrannosaur! So travelers, please remember to participate in match events every day and try your luck!
Travelers who aren't able to get a Permanent Dinosaur Pack needn't feel discouraged. Because, as long as they participate in matches and open a Mystery Box every day, they'll surely get a Permanent Dinosaur Pack Exchange Pass. Just collect all 10 Exchange Passes to redeem a Permanent Dinosaur Pack from the Event Envoy and get a random permanent dinosaur!

Tips: During the event, Dinosaur Battle will be available daily, and it'll be divided into 2 difficulties. Different difficulties require different battle power, so choosing the appropriate difficulty makes earning points easier.




The Dinosaur Gift Shop will be made available at the same time as the dinosaur events, and redemptions can be made at the Museum's Event Envoy. The first batch will be the Town Store Treasures and Phase 1 Goods Exchange, and midway through the event, the Phase 2 Goods Exchange will be made available, which will contain dinosaur furniture sculptures, limited avatar frames, title "Tyrannosaur Vanquisher", Maturity Pills, equipment, and many other amazing stuff!

Not only can you deepen your understanding of dinosaurs and enjoy the thrill of fighting alongside them, you'll also get points to exchange for amazing rewards such as dinosaur furniture ornaments, dinosaur eggs, dinosaur costumes, and high battle power equipment. The new dinosaur version awaits you!

Hello Chasers,

On August 17th (Wed) 00:00 (UTC+0), we discovered a bug where the Integrated Season 1 Play Quest had reset.

As of August 17th (Wed) 03:00, we have resolved the bug where Integrated Season 1 Play Quest was marked as a daily quest. The quest currently functions normally and completion will be retained.

As a result, players who logged on between that period had their quests reset before they could complete the quest on August 17th. Therefore, we will be compensating players who had their quests reset and lost their progression.

Please see below for more details.

■ Compensation

* Quest Reset Compensations will be sent by mail to the characters that had their quests reset.

Please note that the ‘[Eltheca] Random Dye Cube’ will be removed on September 7th 05:00 (UTC+0). Items obtained from using the above item will not be removed. Please use the item within the time period.

Items will be sent by mail and will be removed on September 7th 05:00 (UTC+0) if not picked up.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will continue to strive to provide the best play experience possible.

Thank you.
