We hope everyone is getting into the Holiday spirit! As much as we love working on Main Assembly, we do need our vacation; we are looking forward to ending this week in a smashing way!

It's been a peculiar year, many fantastic creations from Inventors like yourselves have helped keep the spirits up! We hope to see even more fantastic inventions in 2021 :).



We are continuing our work of sweeping, fine-tuning the game and improving it. This time, we were reminded of how challenging the gauntlet trial can be! Ooft.



We have something super special for you this week! We got Zero-G in and working! Take a look AT. THAT! Very, very good.



We are having so much fun with this, even at this early stage! Creating spaceships with lasers! PEW! PEW! Maybe aliens will try out Main Assembly one day. I'm sure the extraterrestrials would make fantastic bots :D



Just imagine the possibilities! Tell your friends! Tell the alie---shhh! Ooops. We're definitely alone we promise ;) Or are we...? [pensive music]



We have also added another explosive of using on aeroplanes and submarines. But this is Main Assembly and, let's be honest, we never know what you are going to come up with. Haha.



Speaking of that, something that just totally blew our minds with the detail level - is this week's spotlight. How did you even create that? Wow! Please make sure to download this one from the workshop and take a look: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2311914609


The Mercedes W11 F1 - by Kakkamurtuma! Fantastic work, absolutely marvellous effort.



Too good for just one-gif!



Oh yeah, before we leave you for a while! We have been putting in the work, and we now know what we will have in the next content update! So we have updated our roadmap!



We've got lasers, we've got plasma, we've got explosives, we've got zero-g, we've got a server browser, and we've got decals! WE HAVE IT ALL!

I guess this time; it's also going to be our most significant update yet, again. We love a fat update.






The next dev-log will be sometime in January!

Did you think we will leave you without some holiday engaging content? I don't think so! We have updated the game with a lot of fixes and a Christmas theme! Also, we are running a holiday mini-competition in our Discord. Create a Christmas themed bot and have a chance to win a game from our Publisher Team17!





Right folks, it's time for a quick festive competition.

The rules are simple: Create a festive/Christmasy bot -- and our devs will decide who's is the best Christmas bot? Got it? Brilliant.

PRIZE: A Team17 game of YOUR CHOICE. That's right, we'll give the winner a steam key from Team17's vast library of titles :D

RULES:
Post your festive creations into #Competition_06 in our official Discord by Tuesday 22nd December, 5PM GMT -- link to our discord is below!

That's it! Good luck! :D

Jump into the Main Assembly Discord NOW and join in the fun!

Trials of Fire v0.78 Release Notes


Merry Christmas everyone,

This Christmas update includes a big change to the way Powers work in game to prevent multiple Powers on a single Hero protecting each other.

Also some fun Christmas cosmetics (which you can disable in the options menu if you would prefer!).

Hope you are all well and excited for the Holiday Season.

I'm here with the final update of the year which will provide some big new features.

The first major addition is all to do with Staff members. They have too long been in the shadows repairing machines, cleaning up rubbish and keeping out thieves.

Staff now have Needs, Stats, Perks and Flaws:
~ Needs are similar to customer needs, and staff will get cranky if you don't provide a place for them to rest and relax.
~ Stats now drive how good your staff member performs certain actions. They are split into 3 categories, Skill (How fast or well they work), Speed (How quickly they move around) and Stamina (How long they can work without a break).
~ Perks are bonus skills that you can give a staff member. They can provide unique traits or an extra boost to stats.
~ Flaws are the opposite of perks. These can develop over time and will hinder your staff.

On top of this, Staff will now gain XP which you can use to upgrade your staff member. We've also added a Staff Room which you can build to give your Staff a place to take a much-deserved break.

To finish out the update, we've added a new customer who will start showing up at your arcade, a staff summary screen to help you keep track, as well as a whole host of bug fixes and improvements which you can see below.

Patch Notes
~ Added a large selection of Perks to staff members that are generated in the Staff Hire window, you are also able to award your staff members new perks once they gain enough experience to level up!
~ Added a new character.
~ Added a new decoration just in time for the Christmas season.
~ Added a new Random Event called "High Rollers".
~ Added a new window that allows you to see all staff members in a list and Select them (Staff Summary).
~ Added a Staff Room that your staff are now able to visit when their needs fall low, complete with upgrades.
~ Added a Staff Wage info string to the staff select menu.
~ Added an animation to the Marketing screen that now plays when you can't afford a program.
~ Added functionality to the "Bonus" button which for a cost, grants staff a temporary boost to needs to allow them to continue working longer!
~ Added new buttons to the HUD for both the Staffroom and the Staff Summary.
~ Added the Staffroom button to the HUD.
~ Fixed a bug which caused the pickup button to be replaced with Alert for spanners and cleaners.
~ Fixed a bug which caused the Staff select view to be removed occasionally.
~ Fixed a bug which occasionally caused a customer to get stuck.
~ Fixed a bug which stopped Lightning from appearing.
~ Fixed a major bug caused by reloading a save.
~ Fixed several occurrences of the mouse click leaking through to certain menus.
~ Implemented Staff Needs, these dictate how effective your staff members are while working.
~ Rebalanced some audio volumes.
~ Rebalanced the price of the Arcade durability upgrades.
~ Rebalanced the Unlockables Repair Speed Upgrades.
~ Removed the heat haze effect.
~ Reworked Staff Needs and Skills.
~ Reworked Staff wages, they are now calculated based on the "Level" that they generate at and their Stats & Skillset.
~ Reworked the Staff select screen.
~ Staff members in hired in a previous version will have its stats re-rolled based on the new system.
~ Staff will now gain experience when performing various tasks, once enough experience is gained your staff members increase in level, certain tasks will grant more experience.
~ Upgrading a staff member will increase their monthly wage.

We've worked extra hard to get this update out in time for the holiday season, however, bugs will do buggy things. So if you spot one, let us know through both our discord and Steam forums.

Finally, the team here at Arcade Tycoon would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

We’re excited to announce the December 2020 Game Update is now available to all Civilization VI players.



Included in this update is the new City-State picker, which lets you choose which City-States you would like to include in your next game and the Searchable Unit List, which will help you search and filter functions in the World Tracker panel to quickly find any unit on the map. Read on for the full list of what’s in today’s free game update.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/289070/Sid_Meiers_Civilization_VI/


While we were testing the August game update, we encountered an issue that was causing PC and Mac/Linux cross-play to become desynced around the mid-game point. For now, we’ll be turning off cross-play while we work with our partners at Aspyr to investigate a fix and we’ll be sharing updates as soon as we get them. Everyone will still receive the update tomorrow and Mac/Linux users will still be able to play with each other; we wanted to make sure this didn’t come as a surprise and really appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding here.

[NEW FEATURES]

City-State Picker

In Advanced Setup, players can now bring up a new menu to choose which City-States they would like to include in their next game. Selected City-States are not guaranteed to be in the next game, rather, they are part of the pool of City-States that will then be randomly selected and placed. Ones that are not selected will never appear in a game.

Searchable Unit List

Leave no scout, archer, or Giant Death Robot behind. Players can use search and filtering functions in the World Tracker panel to quickly find any unit on the map.

Added a real starting zone, a small atoll near Naerocks where the player initially spawns. This serves as the lore introduction, and should help to improve new player experiences, when the path forward at the start is more straight forward.
The atoll theme includes a ship wreck scenery.
Added three quests to the new starting zone.
Added a flying mount which brings the player to Naerocks village.

• Updated the walking, running and idle animations for two handed swords.

• Decreased the sight radius the ai can detect the player slightly.

• Set base damage to 3
  
• Increased capsule radius to 60, boars should less overlap with the player and other entities.
  
• Set attack cooldown to 4 seconds, instead of 3. However, because the boar has three different attack types, a single boar may eventually attack three times in a row, but then pause.

• Added four second attack cooldown to reduce attack rate.

• Adjusted coin prices for many weapons
  
• Adjusted damage for many weapons.
  
• Added coin prices to many weapons

• Certain NPC’s spawned twice on Naerocks Island, this has been addressed and should no longer happen with NPC Larto, or the group listening to the Bard playing guitar.
  
• Loot is now properly removed from corpses upon looting.

• Disabled player character on flying mount. There is an issue with cloth not properly animated.

• The login has been re-enabled and should work now as intended. If you encounter login problems, report them here. The login should also fix the issue with character selections, eg. users could only use the first created character. We still plan to add the option to play without login requirement, but this is not a priority at this time.

• Improve starting zone design
  
• Enable rankings
  
• Better align current equipped weapon to player hand, eg. greatsword.

• The Base Attack skillbar icon may not be visible. In this case open the Game Menu with ESC, pick Leave game, and click on Play.

As the general progress advances, the Christmas tree will get gradually decorated, and you will be able to receive permanent festive camouflages! All players who completed at least one personal mission will receive a stage reward.

Moreover, other themed prizes will be granted to you for completing each personal task.

For the task to count, it is necessary to kill a minimum number of enemies during a match. The quantity depends on the mode. Only correctly completed battles in Quickplay or Ranked matches count towards the progress.

• "Team-Deathmatch" — 10;
  
• "Plant the Bomb" — 5;
  
• "Capture" — 5;
  
• "Blitz" — 5;
  
• "Storm" — 30;
  
• "Destruction" — 10;
  
• "Domination" — 10;
  
• "Free For All" — 10;
  
• "Bag and Tag" — 10.

Each completed personal task increases your contribution to the overall progress! You can also enjoy the double reward for the first completion of the task on a daily basis. Enjoy playing and invite friends to earn various rewards!

Each completed stage will also bring you an opportunity to get “Glacier” series skins!


For those who can not help but share the joy with others, we have prepared some special rewards for sharing the promo page on social media!

1. The rewards will be added to the "My items" page within 24 hours after reaching the necessary conditions.
   
2. Tasks can be completed an unlimited number of times.
   
3. Tasks refresh once a day.

DECORATE THE TREE

Let’s make this Christmas unforgettable!

Dear players!

We are happy to announce that the Brazilian player migration from Level Up to our regional dedicated sub-server has finally begun. It will last till January 2022. Please follow the instructions on the special page to complete the migration process. You will find the extensive migration FAQ on that page as well.



Everybody who transfers their previous progress to our game launcher will get exclusive gifts - a full "Absolute" body armor set and several themed weapons for a chosen class - when they first log into the game. Check out the full list of gifts on the migration page.



Please note: some migrating players own items that either are not currently present on our servers or have vastly different unlocking conditions. We will monitor the presence of such items in the inventories of the players and will decide on how to proceed with them at a later date. You can expect a separate publication on this topic in the coming weeks.

If you are a migrating player and an owner of a permanent VIP booster, it will remain in your inventory only till the end of the migration process in January 2022. After that it will be replaced with a VIP booster for the duration of one year.

We hope that you find the migration process straightforward and stress-free. In case of any questions or troubles though, make sure to contact our support.

Welcome to the squad!



Sincerely yours,

Warface Team
