Many Cheese Game fans have been struggling with the fact that Cheese Game is just too easy. So many gamers have come to me and told me things like:

• "I'm too good at video games, Cheese Game just isn't a challenge for a giga-chad like me"
  
• "The Monarch's scythe is just too easy to dodge"

Alpha Pack has arrived!

This two-week narrative event, which runs from July 19 to August 2, continues the story of “Lone Wolves,” Season 2 of Halo Infinite. Alpha Pack brings new story cinematics and a free 10-tier Event Pass featuring new cosmetics for your Spartan that can be unlocked through completing Event Challenges.

Let’s dive into this new event’s offering...

---

"Out there... beyond the safety of these walls, without resupply or reinforcements? Survival depends on your teammates and whatever you can find in the field.”

Complete Event Challenges based around the Last Spartan Standing playlist to unlock reward tiers in the free 10-tier Event Pass and outfit your Spartan with new cosmetics for the RAKSHASA armor core!

Take a look at some of the items you’ll be acquiring from out in the field (and keep an eye out for some of Spartan Eklund’s field journals which will tell you more about some of their history and utility)...

---

At the start of Season 2, the Avery J. Johnson Academy received some unexpected visitors. Spartans Sigrid Eklund and Hieu Dinh deployed from a stolen Phantom, with Dinh in need of immediate medical attention after capturing a dangerous new foe.

The one-of-a-kind Banished AI known as Iratus was contained within Dinh’s armor, incapacitating the Spartan. Eklund informed Commander Agryna that the AI was guarding an archive containing intelligence about Banished operations on the world of Camber (and possibly more), making the Spartans’ mission clear: get Iratus out of Dinh’s head and force it to tell us everything it knows.

Commander Agryna then ordered the Spartans to enter a simulation of the facility on Camber, serving as bait to entrap Iratus within the Academy’s systems where they would then crack open the Banished archive using the facility’s ONI tech.

But the missions change.

They always do...

The Alpha Pack Event is centered around Last Spartan Standing, a free-for-all attrition-based game mode.

Some of the old hands here know what you’re in for. For the rest of you who are due an education, 12 Spartans spawn with a pre-determined loadout and 5 respawns. All 12 players will fight for survival, accumulating personal score to power up their loadout.

As the match progresses, players that run out of respawns will be eliminated as the play space encloses until only one Spartan is left standing.

Last Spartan Standing can be played on all of Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle maps, which includes:

• Breaker
  
• Deadlock
  
• Highpower
  
• Fragmentation

During the two weeks of the Alpha Pack Event, Last Spartan Standing will be the Event Playlist. After the Alpha Pack Event concludes on August 2, Last Spartan Standing will remain playable.

---

Log in any time during the Alpha Pack Event to unlock the Iratus Unleashed emblem and nameplate...



Finally, head to the Shop and grab the CAMBION Helmet Set. This contains the fearsome CAMBION helmet, along with the UA/Februus, FCI-X/CIBO, and FCI-X/BANE helmet attachments, as well as the Lucky Number Seven emblem and nameplate.



Now go forth and lead the pack to victory!

As always, here is a selection of assets and social banners for you in our Alpha Pack Press Kit. Enjoy!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Weekly Dev Log for July 18th, 2022, detailing all the changes that have happened since July 11th, 2022. Note: Devs that don't appear in the weekly log are not necessarily away or not doing work, but may be working on things currently not announced or backend work that doesn't need to be detailed.

We've created a forum post asking the community for suggestions on how we can improve gameplay for players with certain conditions such as colorblindness, dyslexia, or anything else that might affect a players ability to use the standard presentation and controls of the game.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, and possible solutions on how to solve a particular issue, please check out the forum post here.

The results of the community vote are in!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the vote!

1st Place - 2,000,000 Units - @MuffinLink

Work continues on the next phase of the Casino.

macdguy fixed several bugs with Roulette and Silver Saddles. He added 3D bet indicators to Silver Saddles for better tracking of horse bets. He also continued working on Bingo, making the final touches. The Spin 2 Win second wheel had its graphics finished and item reward code completed.

Will continued working on music and sounds for Silver Saddles.





Johanna continued working on the new Virus map, Corrosion. The sound pass has been completed and the map is getting the final stage of polish before release.










Johanna continued working on the art pass for the SDNL map, Frostbite.








Two new Media Player items will be added to a future update, a Catsack Head TV (found via Catsacks), and a Broken TV (found via Fishing).

Media Players now have new settings, allowing the player to change the saturation, turn on/off Scanlines, and adjust glare. The new TV items will have some of these settings on or off by default, but they're adjustable in the item settings.

Persistent Connections for Condo I/O is completed. Shown in previous developer logs, this feature allows the player to connect items together in unique ways. Unlike event based connections, such as a button press, persistent connections feed data directly into another item, such as the video output of the Security Camera into a Media Player.

Finally, we've revamped our internal item settings system to allow us to more easily add small settings to individual items with low impact to development time. For example, the additional settings added to the Trampoline below took less than 3 minutes to add. This new system will also help reduce bugs as they're automatically supported by the Copycat and Undo tools. Over time, we will be slowly porting over items to the new system.




















JJosh continued working on the Celebrations NPC.

Lifeless continued working on SDNL: Hinderance.

Madmijk continued working on condo instruments.

Sketchman started working on improvements to the AI system.

Nuclearxpotato continued working on Virus: Altar.

Wheezwer worked on concept art for the Fresh NPC.

Will continued working on music for SDNL.

That about covers everything that happened since July 11th, 2022 at PixelTail Games.

Happy Monday!

Out influx of new players from Steam VRFest has led to some quick bug fixing! THank you for your continued feedback and bug reports!

Bugfixes

* Fixed an issue with a memory card respawning over and over.
* Fixed an issue with Grabbable collision.
* Fixed a lightmapping issue.

Investigating
* Investigating issues with teleport movement. At the moment it is not working as expected and we are suggesting players use Smooth Movement. Sorry!

We are introducing a game mechanic we think is going to help quite a bit, here is a video to show you what were doing! It's a new system for showing belt links we think it will improve belt game play greatly.



Theres also a few small fixes in this version.
