I had a great review letting me know these issues existed. I knocked them out. (Allegedly) there are still issues getting to 4th gear or above? Please let me know if you have any issues!

1. Sponsorships fixed: you will now get rewards from sponsors
2. Daily rewards fixed: you will now get credit rewards from daily logins

I never do anything right the first time :)

It has been a month or so. I haven't been posting much. I haven't uploaded many updates to the demo. But, I have been working hard on Dereliction 2022.

Here is an update on most of the changes to the Demo. Now Version 0.3.0

Dereliction 2022 // Demo version 0.3.0 released

I have not been posting or sharing any of the work I have been working on. Not for any reason really, but I just have been focusing more on working on the game. However, I felt I should write a little about this newest demo update. Here it is.

Story:

No spoilers, but I have been adding story elements to the game. This has required a decent overhaul to the level loading, but I feel that it adds a whole lot to the game. It adds more purpose to your actions, and more of a reason to keep going.

I have barely started, but the groundwork is in place. Story arches will cover many floors, require different actions to complete, and give rewards or change the story outcome. Some decisions open more options, and some close other paths.



levels:



Above are some new walls for rooms. These replace the oldest art, interesting. and below is them in action.




My goal is to have the levels be as unobtrusive as possible. Anything important will be coloured differently. Its hard to say that the "style" of the games levels are a style, but there's thought put into it.



Weapons:


I have added 5 more weapons in this update. I figured that I should finish the art for the weapons I have already added in the previous weapon pack. I say finish loosely... They have improved.

Gameplay Changes:

Movement:

Im still getting a feel for the speed of the game. The height of the player, movement, strafe speed. etc.

It's a slow process, I'd categorize it as balancing. It's going to be continuous process. So any feedback and input is appreciated!


3rd weapon Slot:

Now the player can carry 3 weapons. It is important for the player to have a variety of tools and weapons for different situations, otherwise they would need a more generic catch all weapon for any situation.

As before, the new weapons use existing ammo types. These weapons act differently from the original ones, so if you dont want the Nail gun weapon, theres an alternate grenade launcher that use the same orange ammo pool.




Weapon Sockets & Levels:
Now, I am not sure if I covered this addition to the game. So, just in case, I will mention this here. Weapons have a level. This level is determined "Randomly" as well as where it is located in the Facility. So, later levels will have higher level weapons, with a bit of randomness added on top of that.

Secondly, weapons have an amount of "Sockets". These scale with the level of the weapon. So a higher levelled weapon will have more available sockets.




Found weapons will have "Random" upgrades already added to the sockets as well.

The upgrades are:

Fire Rate
Damage
Accuracy
Magazine size
Reload speed
There are machines scattered throughout the levels that will upgrade these stats, as well as ones that upgrade the level of the weapon.




Thank you to everyone following and supporting the game! It has been a busy process. It's been a little stressful, but fun. And a lot of work.

Please check out the demo on Steam. It runs well on SteamDeck too! Wishlists are super important, sadly, they determine reach on Steam, and that is super important. So, If you are interested, please Wishlist DERELICTION 2022 on Steam.

< Dev's Comment >

Beginning with this update, we will be implementing the Normal Match change-up outlined in our recent 2023 Roadmap. Through analysis of player data, playstyles, and feedback accumulated over the years, we recognized a disparity in your gameplay experience between Normal Matches and Ranked due to differences in rulesets. For instance, Normal Matches provide ample time early on for looting, moving, and strategizing, while Ranked is faster-paced, making it potentially challenging to adapt between the two modes.

Our top priority is ensuring players enjoy every mode, so we're adjusting the fundamental ruleset that creates the foundation of PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS in a consistent manner, making it easier to adapt between different modes. We plan to decrease playtime during the early phase in Normal Matches while increasing the overall spawn of items and vehicles to enhance your farming experience. Moreover, we intend to sustain existing content exclusive to Normal Matches, such as items, different Zones, Comeback BR, etc. to continue providing opportunities for experimentation and enjoyment.

< Dev’s Comment >

This update will also introduce new changes to Ranked. As announced in our 2023 Roadmap, we're committed to providing more exciting gameplay through various updates. Beginning from Season 23, we're adding items and vehicles that were previously only available in Normal Matches, bringing more diversity and intensity to Ranked gameplay. Additionally, Deston has been added to the map pool with a 10% matchmaking probability. Although the unique weapons O12 and MP9 are available, we've excluded Security Keys and Tactical Gear from Ranked play as we're still assessing how these features will work in this mode.
-----

• To heighten the sense of satisfaction and impact when landing a headshot, we've added a new visual effect that causes the helmet to be knocked off upon impact.
  
  • If a weapon is used to land a headshot and the helmet's durability is reduced to 0, the helmet will be knocked off.

• Ascender Attachment and Utility Parachute are now provided as basic equipment on every map.
  
  • Ascender Attachment and Utility Parachute icons that occupied their own Inventory slots have been removed.
    
  • Utility Parachutes can be used any time on every map.
    
  • The Ascender Attachment can be used where Ascenders are attached.
• With the Utility Parachutes available everywhere, the Emergency Parachute has been removed from Miramar and Haven.
  
• If a player disconnects before the plane drop, their parachute will now automatically follow the player with the next number after theirs.
  
  • Example: If you are Player 4, you will follow Player 1.
    
  • If you had previously chosen a player to follow before disconnecting, you will continue to follow them.
    
  • Once you reconnect while on the plane, you will automatically follow a player.
    
  • Only players who have not yet dropped from the plane can be chosen to follow.

Starting with this update, maps will now be rotated on a weekly basis, increasing the chances of encountering your preferred map. The Patch Notes will now include the weekly map rotation plan for the update period. Additionally, we're preparing a Dev Letter that will delve into our thoughts on the updated map rotation system. For further details, keep an eye out for the upcoming Map Service Plan - April 2023 announcement!

Furthermore, the Ranked map pool now includes Deston.

※ Please note that PC players can anticipate map changes every Wednesday at 2 AM UTC, while Console players can expect the same every Thursday at 7 AM UTC.

※ In Random Map regions, each map will have an equal probability of being selected, with a probability of 20%.

I've just released a minor update which adds an option to select the bot AI behaviour!

It can be set to either "team" (the default) where bots try to form small teams with players or other bots, or "solo" where bots act independently. The new "solo" option is probably more similar to playing with other people as the bots just run around doing their own thing 😅

This was just a little feature that I managed to fit in which I thought some players might appreciate. Unfortunately I am very busy these days and don't have much spare time. So while this is just a small update, I hope you enjoy it anyway.

This update also fixes several bugs and rare crashes. For further details, please refer to the changelog.

To coincide with this update and Easter holidays for some of the world, Final Days will be a huge 80% OFF starting soon from Wednesday 5th April @ 10am PDT (17:00 UTC)! This sale will last for 1 week. So if you've been meaning to buy Final Days for yourself or a friend, now's a good time!

As always, thanks to all the players who have submitted crash reports! These reports help me a lot with finding and fixing crashes, so please don't be afraid to submit them.

If you do experience any issues with Final Days, then please let me know. While I am busy, I do try to keep on top of any issues people are having and I will do my best to resolve them as soon as possible. The best ways of reaching me are on the forums or Discord.

Thanks for playing Final Days!

Cheers,
Mike
