Hello, Storm Strikers! This is Alphakaman, your Design Team Leader!
This patch focuses primarily on introducing AI bot matches to help new players adapt more easily, along with many balance adjustments.
We've also added the highly requested key mapping feature.
Patch #2 is scheduled to be applied on January 11th at 3 PM Korea Standard Time (KST), accompanied by a 2-hour maintenance!

New accounts will play against bots until certain conditions are met.
In environments with a very low user base, players will play against bots.

Theo can be acquired as a login reward until the store system is introduced.

Balance Adjustment
Supporter Self-Healing Added
To allow supporters to survive more easily on their own, self-healing abilities have been added to some skills. (No adjustments were made to Sabio, as his survival ability when alone was deemed sufficient.)

Chloe - Let's Play, Friend! (Shift2): Heals 60 HP for self.
Chloe - Boing Boing, Horo Ball! (R2): Heals 60 HP for self.

To prevent excessively long TTK (Time To Kill) with supporters surviving more easily, overall healing skills have been nerfed.
Additionally, to address the situation where Narae quickly revives critically injured allies, RMB skills have been changed to tick-based healing.
Maximus Ultimatum of the Hero Assembly (Q) detection height increased.
Stealth UI for Al Manat now only visible to the player.
Bernhard Frenzied Dance (LMB) 1.31 balance hotfix reflected in skill tooltip.
Notification added when a friend request is accepted.

HUD UI disappears when zooming in on the character with the mouse wheel.
Bug Fix
Fixed an issue where the effects of grabs or stuns would not disappear.

Fog Graphics Modification in Peril Rose Backstreets
We're Getting Deeper Into The Abyss - Wii Tanks (2006)
Heyo, it's time for a DEVLOG,
So far, I've been working on the intro of the game. So, it's been pretty slow to say the least, this requires all the boring process of models, and lighting through multiple scenes. But it's a place you'll see multiple times in the game from what I'd like.
Anyway, what have I made in this area? Well, it's simple. I don't want to spoil much, you can see what it is, but story wise, I'd like it to be figured out while playing. So, hey.
The intro scene, woo. Just an intro scene for the player to get the controls before moving on or testing the options. I feel as a developer, there should be a part in the beginning instantly to test out settings for lower end PCs, or just keybinds, stuff like that for gamers. Or just motion blur, people hate that too. (Including me.)
The teasers aren't too much, and have been seen before, but this shows the character in play. I have been working on the mechanics of the player more and more. It is still very early in development. I don't have final animations for walking/running/talking/etc.
There are several animations the main character will have, and it's just a lot I need to do. The beginning is just a start. But I have made the dialogue text in play. And the example is shown, this is likely to change in development.
Information for Dialogue System. - The speed of the text while talking can be clicked to progress the talking speed. - The speed of the text isn't finalized yet. - Different colors for text on characters is a thing. - Animations aren't finalized.
I currently programmed the intro part, which involves an interactable, how is the interactable button in the game? Well, it's like this.
Pretty nice, hold E and have a circular close to it.
Information for Interaction System.
- The "E" key interactable button is being changed for the UI, it's just a horrible drawing I put on it, haha. - The animation isn't finalized. - The speed for this is currently 1.5 seconds, (to finish an interaction) this is probably going to be changed, because it already feels annoying to hold for that long, but I see why on important decisions sometimes. I'm a speedy gamer. - Interactions are currently OnTriggersEnter, they are not Raycast systems. Thought I'd note this. (Raycast meaning the player camera must look at something before the interaction is casted, the OnTrigger is while the player is in the vicinity.)
Interactions is just something small I'd show off, because I like how it looks. The gif provided shows off a bit of player animations, as it isn't fully finished. I still need to make front facing and back facing sprites. And also animations for those. Which is gonna suck, huff.
Anyway, I showed off the dialogue, some of the intro, and player animations, honestly, it isn't a lot, but I blame a bit of Christmas and College coming up. I do want to mention this will be polished before any type of release.
There will be achievements, and all that goodie stuff.
The development of ToHW is going great! We've been busy exponentially increasing waifu variety in the rooms by creating a range of new faces and hairstyles for the waifus.
There are over 30 new faces and over 30 new hairstyles! Below you have a glimpse at some of them:

As noted, I had merged what I was developing for the next segment into Main and pushed it to Steam. However, I had forgotten to add gallery.rpa, so some of those ugly error messages were showing up as thumbnail. That is now fixed. There should be 4 that are locked. and will be unlocked when I release "Dealing" and you play through it.:)
Made a backend change to how the Gallery runs. This makes it easier for me to add them on without unnecessary data. :)
