Commanders!

Let me introduce meowself for those who don't know meow. I am Admiral Kitty Purrfurst, an I-don't-remember-which-generation sailor. For now, I'm a bit far-removed from real navy events, but I live in the World of Warships virtual shipyard. Local engineers work hard in creating the game about my favorite warships, and I support them as a talisman. I bring them luck!

Commanders! How about getting your paws on a flag with my cute and very charming visage? Everrrything is within a tail’s reach! My videos are not only informative but also useful: search for Combat Mission codes in each of them and claim a flag for completing them all! You can activate bonus-codes here:


Durrrring the meownth, I will purrblish fourrr videos in which you will find codes for fourrr Combat Missions. One video purr one task! Why not all of them at once, you ask me? Because I have a full schedule of battles and naps, and can’t only star in videos!

Impurrrrtant: each code can be activated only prior to the release of the next video! As soon as a new video is published, the bonus code from the previous one will turn into a pumpkin! So be attentive and fast, meow!

The news is updated, so to avoid missing the next code, follow the updates closely and subscribe to our channel!

Dear Guest,

To Leave is more than a game.

Every element in To Leave—from beginning to end—has been crafted to
challenge your skills, wits, perception, and intuition. Most importantly,
To Leave provides questions—not answers. Although much will be
indecipherable to you from the beginning, rest assured that everything
in this game is deliberate ... and relevant.


Devote your full attention to what you’re about to experience.

You won't regret it.

Yours truly,
Freaky Creations

WARNING: To Leave deals with existential themes—including
suicide, depression, and social alienation. If you're in trouble,
this game alone won't help you. If you think you need it,
ask for help. Do it now.

There isn't much to report this week.
The rebuild is underway and moving along slowly but surely.
For the current build the week has been spent talking to customers and changing the game based of thier feedback.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – Samhain is here! Join us around the fire from October 11 through November 1. Experience new challenges, a brand-new cache, exclusive seasonal rewards, and community contests!

MOMO DISCORD SERVER

Greetings Pioneers!

It’s been a busy week over at Flix, we’ve moved into our new office which is a big step up from the house we were in previously that was becoming rather cramped! We have also had more people join us too!

We’ve decided that this week we are going to take a look at the Experimental Branch feedback and how we are looking to respond over the coming weeks. With everything that’s been going on this week with the move and other projects on, in all honesty, we’ve been a little light on responding in code, more design and decisions, so without further adieu, let’s take a look at some of the key points raised;

Resource acquisition could use some tweaks for testing purposes
I'm several hours into my savegame in the exp branch now and can't craft anything because of the low resource droprates (acid + the rare minerals). It would be nice if the drop rates and means of acquisition get some love right now, because at this point I can't even build three graphene without farming huntermites for an hour, which is too slow and unreliable. The secondary resource requirements seem a bit over the top for me.

Then, looking at the resource distribution further on, I really suggest giving every resource dedicated nodes instead of making some randomly drop from metal/quartz nodes. - Genoscythe

Gathering resources is something that we are going to balance in the near future. We have seen that getting some materials can be a chore so we are going to be having a deeper look into the resource economy to make the game more enjoyable.

Ok, I was liking the whole atmosphere and all the little notes and details you put in, But I really don't like seeing entrails or other organs exposed. If you could just leave that part out of the game, that is fine. Also the new radiation sensor is a nice touch of putting in a new game mechanic. - FireStorm Victory

We mainly use things like this in the game to cause tension and make the players think “I don’t want that to happen to me” and not to cause any genuine discomfort to the person playing the game.

There is no hydration. Water is now food.

What you are thinking of as 'hydration' is suit fuel.
They changed the icon to make it more obvious.

I think that removing water was a bad idea, and if you agree, say so. If enough people think it sucks then they might put it back. - Azirahael

Removing hydration was something we did for balancing reasons. We are still working on finishing up fuel on player which will provide energy for the kinetic laser module. This is something that as a player you will have to keep on checking over. We think that having too many stats to keep track of can be very frustrating.

Good update Devs...thank-you, will keep testing. 🤓 - Old-gamer

Thank you Old-gamer for playing!



Purple Box on harvesting materials - Picture credit - Old-gamer

Most of the “No physics materials” sprites appearing have been fixed as of latest experimental build V0.3.3

So, can we please get some smoother Running/Jumping animations, while climbing the transmission tower I fell of 3 times because when running to jump you leap like a 3 Centimeter distance. - Commander Tempest

We will be polishing up quite a few aspects to the pioneer character like sprint speed, jump height/distance and health.

Multiplayer:

Will multiplayer make a comeback with the new updates or is it completly gone (hope not) - SSundee

Multiplayer will be back with a vengeance, but it is under maintenance at the moment as we feel it isn’t quite where we want it to be. There are a bunch of features that will need adjusting to cater for multiplayer.

So we’re still putting 100% of our effort into Eden Star as and when we can over the coming months, our current focus is multiplayer stability and AI fights again so that night time battles come back with a renewed vengeance! Thanks again to eveyone who has tried the Beta Branch recently and for all the feedback so far.

See you in the fray!

- Turkish!
- Thank you to everyone who contributed. Badges will be given out this patch to Latvian, Polish, and Turkish translators
- Some languages are not fully up-to-date. We are very close to finalizing our improved workflow for updating languages. Stay tuned for an announcement


Melee Targeting
- Fixed a bug where melee units wouldn't always target the units that aggroed them first if all targets had been attacking them for longer than 10 seconds (most noticeable on boss waves)

Gameplay Stability
- Fixed a bug where units were able to kill allies via buffs that applied max-health damage (aka Vampire). This fixes a rare case where a player who leaked a wave wouldn't be considered as having leaked that wave. This happened if your last unit was killed by the damage from Vampire. This caused some unintended behavior, like leaks being caught in a 'warp loop' because the game thought your fighters were still in combat.

Client Stability
- Loading Screen: added another failsafe & more debugging information

Matchmaking
- Improved how the matchmaker handles some edge cases
- Higher tolerance when fewer players are online
- Now much faster for players rated below 900
- After a match is formed, you have a 50% chance to be on the East Team or West Team (before, it was purely determined by ratings)

- Bots are now smarter about using Sea Serpents/Deepcoilers

Interface Fixes
- Fixed a bug where if you canceled your matchmaking search & requeued within 1 second, the search window would be hidden but you'd still be in queue
- Fixed a bug where the Legion Spells window would display as cracked (used spell) when it should have been active/filling up the bar
- Fixed a bug where the Legion Spells sound effect would play twice


Light on the balance changes this patch as there hasn’t been enough time since the last patch.
