In Heaven and Earth, the central hub for everyone’s daily activities gets a fresh new look, making it a lot easier to track what is done, what isn’t and even new rewards for achieving activity points! So, let’s dive into what’s new, aside from the shiny new appearance.

 

• The Deathly Atoll Quests can now be picked up and completed from 12:00 until 00:00 Server time. Elites will still spawn after 18:00
• With the introduction of Duo Deathmatch, both event modes alternate weekly. For example, week 1 will be Single Player Deathmatch, week 2 will be Duo Deathmatch.

 

• Duo Deathmatch: Sign up on Saturday before 14:55 with a partner and fight to win in the 2-player version of Deathmatch!
• Daily Guild Sign-In: Sign into your guild to receive rewards! From 19:00 until 23:00, you can collect your rewards from the Guild Manager, which includes Fealty and Bronze Shards.
• Shifty Dodgy has been added to the Road to Greatness.

With new features coming, the daily activity rewards have been changed! Check out what you can earn:

• 20 Points – Valuable Synergy Horn x2 (This is an item to increase intimacy with a Battle Companion)
• 40 Points – Faerie’s Trove (A map, like the Peculiar Treasure Maps. Follow it for rewards!)
• 60 Points – Peculiar Ticket x2
• 80 Points – Tourmaline Shard x2
• 90 Points – Lycoris Dew x2 (This item is used when Purifying your Battle Companions Attribute Credentials)
• 100 Points – Pouch of Pensive Participation (Open to gain Imperial Coins)

 

Alongside your daily activity rewards, you can now earn weekly activity rewards for your hard work!
 
Here’s how many weekly points are required and what you can earn:

• 400 Points – Vanisher Scroll x3
• 700 Points – Ausgyth Gift Crate
• 850 Points – Weekly Activity Gift (Open this to obtain items such as: Azure Tickets, Red Tickets, Divine Dao, Bronze Flames, Hematite I, Argent Phlogiston, Rainbow Boxes, Jadefeather Gifts, Mount Spirit Gifts or Ausgyth Gift Boxes)

 

This tab has been updated to give you an in-depth view of your overall Character Power. From calculating how strong your talisman is, to your gear, and Battle Companions, it gives you the ability to see which area you need to work on the most.


 
This is just one of many exciting features coming in Heaven and Earth, stay tuned for more info!

In Drive Buy, everyone works for Buy Corp. Buy Corp are a massive corporation who control retail, advertising and a load of other stuff. Most importantly to the game, Buy Corp control the brainwashing advertisement screens that “persuade” customers to buy their products. As a driver, you have to race in your delivery vehicle to get the stuff to customers as quickly as possible.

The game world has the job of telling the story of customer retaliation against Buy Corp, in this case, graffiti that plasters the walls of buildings. The message is clear: customers don’t want to be hypnotised or spend money on stuff they don’t need, but Buy Corp is highly persuasive. It’s David (the customers) vs Goliath (Buy Corp) and you fit in somewhere in the middle.

INSPIRATION


Some sketches of early graffiti designs. Notice some that are directly related to spending like ‘Snip’ and ‘Just Browsing’ which were rejected as they weren’t pushing the message hard enough.

The graffiti styling was captured from looking around our local areas: Dalston, Clapton and Hackney Wick – it’s everywhere! Some of our favourites are ‘RED WINE’ and ‘SHITHOUSE TO PENTHOUSE’ pictured below, showing the uptick in natural wine drinkers across the city and the gentrification of Hackney Wick.

Graffiti is a perfect insight into what people are thinking.



John Carpenter’s ‘They Live’ was also a big inspiration for the theme of Drive Buy, but more from the side of the corporation’s brainwashing technology.

The idea of Delivering parcels came from Deliveroo, Uber and Amazon – three companies that are always in trouble about working conditions. Human rights, modern slavery, tax evasion and zero hour contracts are all topical subjects that play a role in Drive Buy borrowed from these real world corporations.

Drive Buy brings these subjects subtly to the surface by placing drivers in the predicament we often find ourselves, going along with incremental negative change over time that leads to monumental changes in living conditions, especially for people who are most vulnerable to systems of support being removed.

However, it’s a fun to play delivery racing game that subtly hints at this subject matter through the game world and doesn’t take itself too seriously. After all, it’s meant to be an enjoyable experience.


A credit card ‘on fire’ felt like a cool way of showing spending binges.

FINAL GRAFFITI



As you play Drive Buy, you’ll notice these messages around the game world. Have a look around and see if you can spot any hidden messages or finding meaning in the levels that you may otherwise speed past on the way to make your fastest delivery yet.
