Hey folks,

We're back again with a couple of fixes related to building.

First, we fixed a bug that stopped players from building rotated tiles in the same spot without first placing a tile elsewhere.

We then squashed a bug where trying to delete a single tile could delete multiple if those tiles were in the same spot.

Both bug reports were community submitted, so a big thanks to you all for letting us know!

Until next time.

The New Year is here, but the holiday spirit will live on for a while yet, Commanders!

Our festivities run until January 9, 2023, at 07:00 CET (UTC+1), so you still have a week to complete some Holiday Ops to-dos! Here's a checklist to help you take full advantage of all the Holiday Ops benefits.

1. Complete the Holiday Ops 2023 Challenge!

Even if you missed the beginning of the event, you are not at a disadvantage! All missions are cumulative and can be completed at the same time.

By completing these missions, you can get your hands on a load of nice juicy rewards, including the following:
  • A unique medal, cool inscriptions, and an amazing decal
  • A spectacular 2D style featuring Milla Jovovich and unique Marks of Excellence
  • Milla Jovovich herself as a tank commander with an exclusive voiceover—Milla comes with fully trained Repair and Firefighting skills, Brothers in Arms as a zero perk, and enough experience to learn a fourth skill or perk


Additionally, completing Missions From Milla will grant you credit discounts on researchable vehicles.

Didn't manage to complete last year’s Missions From Arnie during Holiday Ops 2022? After you complete all 28 Missions From Milla, you will have the opportunity to unlock additional Missions From Arnie. You can unlock up to four missions in total, and completing each one will earn you a cool Arnie-themed reward, including Arnold Schwarzenegger himself as a tank commander with a unique voiceover!
2. Finish Assignments From Guests!

And don’t forget about Assignments from our incredible guest stars, Milla and Arnie! Complete these special quests by spending a certain amount of Warm Amber and Meteoric Iron. Upon completing a given number of Assignments, you will receive stunning decals and spectacular 2D styles from Milla and Arnie with unique Marks of Excellence.

On top of that, each completed Assignment From Arnie or Milla simultaneously increases all economic bonuses in the game! When you finish an Assignment, you'll slightly increase the bonus to credits and bonuses to all types of XP—Free, Combat, and Crew—in Random Battles (including Grand Battles).

3. Reach Festive Atmosphere Level X to Get the Maximum Rewards Possible!

Be sure to reach Festive Atmosphere Level X to obtain all the valuable in-game rewards available within this event progression! You can get up to four female crew members, a brand-new festive 2D style with unique Marks of Excellence, and much, much more!

To improve the Festive Atmosphere Level, you need to upgrade decorative objects from Level 1 to Level 5 by investing Rock Crystal and Pure Emerald. Take your time collecting them in various ways, including by completing Daily Missions and visiting your Best Friends’ Villages. The holiday season is a great time to pay visits to your fellow tankers and get some extra resources!
4. Don't Miss Your Chance to Get Formidable Vehicles and Cool 3D Styles!

Your festive Village will be disabled at the end of the event on January 9, 2023, so you will no longer be able to purchase Large Boxes. If you’re short on resources, now is the best time to grab them! And, of course, Large Boxes may drop exclusive Tier VIII and IX Premium vehicles, including these three brand-new tanks:
  • NEW! The M47 Iron Arnie : A multi-role American Tier VIII medium tank with an enhanced armament and armor. It’s based on the same vehicle that Arnold Schwarzenegger owns!
  • NEW! The BZ-176 : A Chinese Tier VIII heavy tank, and a pioneer of the upcoming branch that features the new jet booster mechanic.
  • NEW! The Char Mle. 75 : A French Tier IX light tank, and the first Tier IX Premium vehicle from Large Boxes! It features two speed modes and is equipped with a unique six-shell autoloader.
You might also find a brand-new 3D style for one of the following Tier IX or X vehicles:
  • Jupiter Fulgur for the Super Conqueror
  • Sleipnir for the Strv 103B
  • Asterius for the Controcarro 3 Minotauro
  • Constellation for the Bat.-Châtillon 155 58
  • Levante for the Char Futur 4
After the Event
  • Once the event ends, you won’t be able to apply unused credit discounts on researchable vehicles. Be sure to activate them before January 9, 2023.
  • Any unopened Large Boxes and unspent Gift Terminal Tokens will be opened and spent automatically at the end of the event, and their rewards will be stored on your account.
  • All of your unspent Holiday Ops resources that you accumulated during the event will disappear.
  • After the end of the event, once the festive Holiday Ops Garage is disabled, your dog friend Chaffee will bid you farewell and leave with all his items you purchased, which will not be compensated.
We hope that you've been enjoying Holiday Ops 2023, winning many epic battles and earning tons of great rewards, Commanders! Stay warm, and keep yourself in a festive mood!

The Obsessive Shadow - dylandev
Introduction:

Hello everyone! I hope you all had an amazing holiday and a happy new year! The devs here at Sleepy Dog Studios have been cooking up something better than Christmas cookies; a new update to The Obsessive Shadow!

We hope that you enjoy all the new content. Before we dive into the changes, we wanted to share some exciting news! The Oculus Quest version is available on SideQuest as of now and we encourage you to try it out if you own an Oculus Quest.

Along with the SideQuest version of the game, we are going to be releasing the Quest AppLab version in the coming days on the official Oculus store! This is some exciting news, and we will keep you posted as these builds come out!

Anyways, let's get to the changes!

Changelog:

New AI System

We felt like the old system for how the stalker spawned was inconsistent and left players wondering why they died. We cleaned up this system and now the stalker is way more consistent. There can never be multiple stalkers and you will only ever have to focus on one task at a time.

Stalker Visual Changes

Thanks to Lane, (our 3D artist and animator), the stalker looks a lot scarier than he did before. He also worked hard on creating some fresh new animations. We hope that these changes will really spook you if we ever were to add a jumpscare to the game... *wink* *wink*

We also felt like it wasn't clear when you successfully flashed the stalker away. Lane created a new animation that plays when you successfully flash him away. There is also a sound that plays so this should hopefully give you guys more feedback as to the stalker's current state.

The Flashlight

Similar to the AI system, we reworked the flashlight system as we didn't feel like it was working the way we intended it to. We made the flashlight dim faster and made the shake a lot more consistent. Remember, you can only flash away the stalker if you have your flashlight charged.

General Visual Changes

We fixed up some lighting to make the game look a bit better. We got rid of the blue tint that you saw in the game as we didn't feel like it fit the feel we were going for.

We made the TV screens have a glow to them. Obviously, TV screens are not matte and will glow even when the lights are out in the room. This change will make the TVs look a lot more natural!

Ambience

We worked hard to make the game world feel better! One of the ways we did this was by adding some creepy noises that play when you are roaming the house. Keep an eye out for some other strange occurrences the stalker might be causing.

Other General Changes

We decided to remove the PC (turning on and off) and the hand under the bed as we felt like, for the demo's purposes, it cluttered the gameplay cycle and made things confusing. Please know that when the non-demo builds are out, these features will be reworked and in there along with plenty more content to come!

We made some fun changes to the menu so keep an eye out and see if you can spot them!

Optimization

We made a bunch of changes on the internal side of the game that we can't go into depth about, However, know that your game should run a lot smoother due to all of this!

Conclusion:

If you are reading this, thank you so much for reading all the way through to the end! We really appreciate all of your support and hope to bring you amazing content in the future. Thank you so much for over 2,600 downloads on the demo so far! We really, really appreciate the ongoing support!

If you find any bugs, have suggestions or want to give us any bit of feedback, we would love to hear it! Please reach out to @SleepyDogDevs on Twitter.

If you are curious about the time frame of when the full game will be available for release, we expect to release it sometime in Q3-Q4 of 2023. However, on our everlasting mission to bring you all content, we are going to release the game in early access when we feel like there is enough content to warrant an early access build. We will then release updates to early access until we feel like the game is ready to be fully released.

Make sure to wishlist the game so that you can stay posted on new updates! 2023 is going to be there year of The Obsessive Shadow!


Thank you all for your support from the Sleepy Dog Studios Team!
