Hey all!
Welcome to a new update from Century City!

Today we're going to talk about Attributes and Imagos! Two ways of improving your character!
The first way is by eating pills and mushrooms, and the other one is by adding furniture and appliances to your apartment.

The main differences between the two are the type of improvement and their permanence.

The improvements given by the pills and mushrooms are temporary and reset when dying.

The improvements given by the Imagos are permanent as long as you keep the appliances and furniture in your house.
Now, let's dive in!



Pills are the most refined product when we talk about enhancing your attributes. It's possible to buy pills in the shops or loot them in Century City.
There are many of them, and each improves a single skill.



The attributes affected by pills are:

• Vitality (aka max health)
  
• Endurance (aka max stamina)
  
• Sight
  
• Olfaction
  
• Movement speed

Eating pills provides no downside, as you can see in the picture below.




Mushrooms are easier to find than pills as it's possible to loot them from monsters' remains.
As you may have realized, mushrooms are not safe to eat as pills.



They enhance the same attributes that pills do but decrease them as well.
Double-checking before eating is a good idea but don't worry too much if you don't. You can always compensate for side effects by eating pills!

THE PICTURE SHOWN IS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. THE ACTUAL PRODUCT MAY VARY DUE TO PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT. :)




Helping the inhabitants of Century City with their tasks unlocks different shops in the City, a few of which sell furniture and appliances for your apartment.

These items are not only capable of storing items and making your house a cozy place to live in, but they also provide Imagos.
Imagos are passive effects Adam receives from the furniture.
For example, an Imago can reduce the recoil of the shotgun by five.




You can find a dedicated section with a list of all the Imagos in your journal!
As you can see, they are many, and they influence the reloading speed, the recoil of the guns, the healing efficiency, and a lot more!



That's all for today, folks!
Thanks for your time✨

Aloha Thrivers!

Alpha Keys for Wave 2 backers of our Kickstarter campaign will be sent out Monday and we couldn’t be more excited! We know this wave took a little longer than expected but we’re overjoyed to finally open the game up to the next round of players. We'll be hosting play sessions next week to get their initial impressions, gather feedback, and answer any questions they might have. Keep an eye on our Discord for specific times and dates.

Wave 1 backers were a great help testing the game and we can't wait to show off the latest updates to Wave 2. This is one more giant leap toward getting all of our backers in the game including wave 4 (hopefully by the end of the summer). This will be the biggest wave yet and with their help, we plan on having the servers ready for even more players struggling to survive and exploring our version of Maui soon.

The persistence bugs may have delayed Wave 2 a bit but our testers were a huge help in finding all the issues slowing things down. We stayed busy adding new features and content for the newest group to enjoy as well. Here’s a look at the new stuff we’ve added and the biggest list of player-reported bug fixes we’ve ever had.



We added some new roofs and rounded construction pieces in the last update but we’ve added even more recently, including all the materials that you can upgrade your base with.

For everyone who likes a more traditional look to their base, upgrading to wood might be right for you.







If you are more concerned about security or just want a more castle-like look try upgrading your base to stone.







Finally, if you got the time and resources nothing keeps the mutants out like upgrading your base to metal.







No matter what materials you decide to build your base out of, the new rounded pieces and roofs will open up a lot of creative designs options for everyone.





In addition to the lighting and DOF improvements, we added recently, lots of you told us that we needed some sort of air indicator while you were swimming underwater. So we added this O2 meter to show exactly how close you are to passing out and drowning sounds to help reinforce the message when it’s time for you to come up for air.




We added some great new tools to help survivors gather the resources they need to build bases and craft weapons and gear.

The scrap pick may look a little unwieldy but it makes banging on rocks a pleasure.





Next, we added a rusty hatchet.





The gear head ax is great for bigger trees and just looks cool.





Lastly, we’re showing off the felling ax, a great tool for clearing land and adding to the woodpile in a hurry.






We've updated the persistence backend. The recent engine upgrade offered us a lot of new systems and features to make FRV better but it also opened up a lot of persistence issues. After a lot of hard work from the team, we finally have a brand new persistence and backend service layer that is reliable, making sure your hard-earned loot and gear stay yours. This is our second major step toward having multi-server travel in the game.




As usual, our amazing testers have tracked down over 160 bugs since our last update and we couldn’t be more grateful for their help in making the game ready for wave 2. Your feedback is very important to us so keep it coming! If you’re interested in helping out, head over to our discord and let us know! Here’s a list of the fixed bugs that our players found.

Hello guys,

We noticed that some players faced fps drops and lags when many zombies spawn...

So, this update should fixe the problem or at least improve the "Surviving Portal" experience.

have fun :D

Happy Friday, Hunters!

We hope you’ve had a fantastic week and that all of your hunting adventures have been prosperous!
Here are some touchpoints we think you’ll find interesting:

• DLC Giveaways!
  
• YouTube polls and surveys

To keep things fun and fresh, we held some guessing games during Tuesday’s stream and gave away Bloodhound DLC keys for PlayStation, Steam, EGS, and Xbox. We’re doing the same again next week, so be sure to tune in!

On top of our annual surveys, we host regular polls on the Expansive Worlds YouTube channel. We’ve received and read through thousands of responses! Did you know, Elk tallied 56% of the votes for the next preferred Great One? Check them out and join in if you haven’t already. 😎


Useful links & info:

• Expansive Worlds YouTube Channel
  
• {LINK REMOVED}Known Issues List
  
• Customer Support

• Optimized arts for Karma

• Optimized the animation effects of books in events

• Added special effects for enemy "Tyrant"

• When dialogues occur before fights, hide fight info

• Show card details for camp choices that have card options

• Players can now mouse over the cards to view card details

• Different maps now share difficultly level progress

• Fixed a bug where the talent "Astrology" gives out a wrong number of cards

• Fixed the leaderboard scroll issue

• Fixed the bug where the "You Are My Hero" achievement from Evelyn story mode could not be accomplished

• Optimized some texts in terms of where new lines are formed

• Fixed some card descriptions

Three maps now share level progress! For example, if you finish level 5 in one map, you can unlock level 6 for all three maps. Also, you can now mouse over the cards to view card details! But the animation was a bit rushed and we will work on that for the future updates.

We've also received some feedback on black screen issues and network connection problems. These need to be fixed on a case-by-case basis, so please contact us in our discord server if you encounter said issues. Thanks a lot for your feedback and support!

Jokes on you all, Patch3 never went live! Patch 4 time nao!

Due to a contract with a publisher we were forced to remove all third-party content. As the result, the Spanish translation we introduced earlier will no longer be available.

Can you still play the game in Spanish? Yes! Please check the following topic in the community discussions where you'll wind a download link to the Spanish version: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1413600/discussions/0/3194737075892423260/

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. A contract with a publisher is an important step in the company development. All current actions are motivated by our desire to improve our existing and future games.

If you have any questions, we'll answer them below.
