Hello, Descendants!

Here are the main confirmed issues before starting the Steam Beta Test.
Please check and refer to the guide below for the Steam Beta Test.

We will notify you additional issues we discover.

■ Guide for PCs Below Minimum Requirements
- When executing the game on a PC below minimum requirements, the game may not run properly and a warning message will pop up. So please check the PC Minimum Requirements and Recommended Requirements for The First Descendant before running the game.


■ Graphics Driver Guide
- Currently, a problem with specific graphics card drivers has been detected in Unreal Engine 5, hindering the execution of the game. We recommend that you check the driver version below and update it to the latest version.

■ Latest Graphics Card Compatibility
- For newer graphics cards such as Intel’s Arc A750, A770, and NVIDIA’s Geforce RTX 4090, the Beta Test may be unstable due to the lack of sufficient tests.

■ Rune Socket Type
- After granting the Rune socket type, the Rune socket will be available once you press [Enter] to equip it. If you press [ESC], the granted Rune socket type will not be displayed, and the current state will be maintained. If you press [T], the button for the socket type change, you'll be able to check the equipped socket type.

■ Translation Issues
A total of seven languages are available in the Steam Beta Test.
As there may be language-related errors during this Beta Test period, we look forward to receiving your feedback. Please feel free to give us feedback on the translation so that we can improve the translation with higher quality in diverse ways before the launch.

■ (Updated) Twitch Drops Not Distributed Issue
We are encountering an issue where the Twitch Drops rewards are intermittently not distributed even within 24 hours of claiming them. We are currently investigating the issue and will try our best to fix the issue as soon as possible.

■ In-Game Notice Banner [Close] Button Not Showing
- Occasionally, the in-game notice banner [Close] button is not showing. This can be resolved by exiting and restarting the game. We apologize for the inconvenience.


Please send us related questions or opinions through the link below.

Thank you.

A high-level mission, the "Wormhole Mission" consisting of 5 stages has been added in Relayer Advanced. It's more difficult than the "Asterism Voyage" but players can clear this mission on the easy mode. There are some unique rewards obtainable in this new end content so look forward to playing this mission!

Dear Explorers！
We are bringing you our Halloween Patch! Happy Halloween!


Skeleton Horse

It is a skeleton war horse burning with the flames of hell. Legend has it that the skeleton horse is the mount of the knight of hell, and is the most reliable partner of the knight. It can fly to the sky and dive into the sea like walking on the ground, and the energy from hell also gives it the power of eternal life.

Left click - Normal attack

Right click- Sacrifice: unleashes the flames of hell to inflict continuous damage to enemies within a certain range (damage value correlates to the HP of the enemy, while damage upper limit correlates to the percentage of melee damage of the skeleton horse)

'C' button - path of flame, activates its own hell energy, increases its own movement speed by 50% and melee damage by 30%. Moving will leave a hell flame in place, enemies near the hell flame will take continuous damage (1-50 dmg/0.5 sec)

Hello，小萤酱 又和大家见面了~~不知道大家国庆假期是出门玩了，还是在家用 萤火虫动映 制作出有意思的视频或者直播了呢？今天小萤酱和大家聊聊3D虚拟主播。

3D虚拟主播，很好理解，就是 主播的模型是3D化的。相比目前较为广泛的2D模型，3D模型的能做的事当然就更多的，比如360的展示，具备更真实感；比如配合面捕和动捕，能完成更多更自由的表情动作等等。如果再加上3D话的场景，那可以玩出的花样就更多的，甚至说你自己就拥有了一个摄影棚，可以拍摄任意你想要的场景剧情故事。

3D模型的制作软件也很多，比如 简单易上手的Vroid，可以观看视频了解：https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dN4y157w4/

不知道各位VUP有没有发现，B站目前已经在“虚拟主播”的分区下，专门划分出了“3D虚拟主播”的分类，这个分类也是近期增加的，可见3D虚拟主播的趋势~~


最后当然要说说咱们 萤火虫动映软件自身了，作为本身定位于3D化的虚拟主播软件，除了支持VRM的3D模型导入，软件内还提供了若干3D场景，并提供丰富的可调参数方便VUP打造属于自己的3D直播场景，另外我们也在计划更多的3D场景以及可自定义化，为VUP创建出自己想要的3D场景努力~~

还不了解的欢迎观看 萤火虫动映宣传片：https://bilibili.com/video/BV1zr4y1573c/

那么欢迎大家加入萤火虫动映QQ交流群： 672728738 ，继续和我们沟通交流~~~

活字引擎3.2.0已更新！本次更新最大的内容是增加阿里云配音（共74种）！声音总数从原来的22种变成了96种！
本次更新的阿里云配音中2个是日语配音，11个是纯英语配音，3个是粤语配音，剩下的58种全部是中文配音！

⚠️注意：Azure配音目前与最新版Win10/Win11系统冲突（无法合成Azure配音并在合成时会导致软件卡死/奔溃）！这个是微软那边的bug，他们暂时还没公布什么时候修复，虽然之前已经为这件事单独发了一篇公告了，不过这次还是再提一下，如果急用的话把Windows系统退回到上个版本就能解决了，你也可以选择等微软修复或者改用阿里云配音（这也是为什么我这几天在全天工作提前把阿里云接入了）

在接下来的更新里我会着重于修复导出的各种问题，比如在一些电脑上可能会发生的导出卡顿或导出出来的视频文件损坏的问题（顺便一提如果在你的电脑上尝试多次都无法正常导出，那你可以直接开预览播放模式然后录屏，这样其实和导出是完全一样的（草）

如果您愿意的话可以在Steam上给活字引擎打个好评！每个评价我都会认真读的）某种意义上算是我每次更新的极大动力（？）

除了接入了阿里云之外这个版本还有很多其他的更新：
1.骰子设置界面增加了改变字体的选项，现在你可以改变【骰子】演出时使用的字体了！
2.修复了无法更换骰子图片的问题，同时现在骰子设置界面还可以预览当前使用的骰子图片了！
3.修复了在刚开启播放时名字框无法正确的与角色站在同一边的问题
4.修复了其他各种各样的bug并进行了优化
5.更新了4个很可爱的成就图标！我在想要不要做点冰箱贴或者吧唧之类的周边什么的（真的会有人喜欢吗？）
顺便把目前的6个成就图标放在这里！真的很可爱所以忍不住想炫耀一下）是Walli画的！

打地鼠的玩家算不算反派？（锤击活字双子）

Thank you.

It feels like I had a long, long dream, but it's done.

A year after the pilot episode, /Conspiracy/ Girls >The Madness of Madison Delaroux releases... TODAY!


Whenever I read out that line, I laugh a little. I hope that this little visual novel makes you laugh, a lot, too!

For the next two weeks after release, I'll be around to listen and quickfix for bugs. (there shouldn't be any, you literally can watch it like half an anime season) If you have any feedback or things you want to shout at Author-kun send a message through my website (housedelaroux.com) or just post it on the Mongolian Basket Weaving Boards. ('no generals' says the janny)

I am very proud of this work which probably has a negative ESG score; which means more laughs for enjoyers of cartoon frog deities! No glowie is safe, no outlandish theory is untouched, non-magickal solution not included.

Now available for the meme price of $17.76!

Do it!

Buy /Conspiracy/ Girls today!

You will own everything and be happy!

They are valuable monsters that you can only find here, so make sure you take the challenge!

Fixed an issue where the charge gauge was decreasing less when using a physical rapid-fire device.

• bugfix: minimum drone temperature wasn't taken into account during the simulation.
  
• framerate counter added (check in Options to enable it).
