Greetings!

Today we released a minor hotfix to address one critical bug!

Save games should hopefully be unaffected - but if you have the possibility to start a new game that is always recommended.

As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. Thank you!

Dear Coffee Lovers,

We are still collecting your feedback after playing Espresso Tycoon! We are impressed by your creativity and commitment ːsteamhappyː You are helping us a lot in preparing the next update. Thank you!

But before we explain what's actually in this update, here's a brief instruction.

Sometimes you can have a problem with launching the game (or some parts of it) after the update. This issue could be related to Steam and not the game itself. If you encounter a problem like that, please check your local files here:




Sometimes Steam can have issues with updates, and this is a simple solution. :)


Here's what we've done!

• added TEA (a few kinds of tea, to be more specific) as new ingredients in the Coffee Editor - there were a lot of requests about adding them to the game ːsteamhappyː
  
  
  
• added the option to click on the rubbish counter, which will move the camera to random rubbish, making it easy to track it down
  
  
• added the ability to search for ingredients in the Supplies window by group, not just specific ingredients. For example, you can now type 'Mint Syrup' (or any other ingredient) to see the entire group of supplies
  
• added the ability to set the probability of animals in Sandbox mode in every location
  
• added some improvements in the Korean, German, and Japanese languages (work on improvements with Chinese is still ongoing ːsteamhappyː)
  
• fixed the problem with the disabled game save button after staying in an already-completed mission
  
• fixed a problem in the London mission where it was impossible to hire security if one did not follow the tutorial correctly
  
• fixed the issue where people stopped coming to the cafe when someone acted out of line with the tutorial
  
• fixed the problem of 'hidden rubbish' that could sometimes hide in certain furniture
  
• fixed the problem with NPCs stuck because of the pets
  
• fixed a problem with the outline
  
• fixed a problem with employee photos in the Employees window that didn't always refresh correctly
  
• improved the drawing of values in Temporal Trends in the Coffee Editor so that requirements that can't be met don't appear
  
• resolved a minor bug related to the music after completing a mission
  
• implemented various other minor bug fixes. ːsteamhappyː

Many, many thanks to those who helped us test this update!
Remember to change your version of the game for yourself on Steam:


It would be good to restart Steam, too - to be sure you have the newest version of the game ːsteamhappyː

For Server owners: For any server using a custom scenario please make sure after updating & before you start your server you update the custom config files in the Scenario Configuration folder.

• Added the ‘Drone Bay’: You can now craft and place the Drone Bay and equip it with Defense Drones. A Drone Bay Spawner is required for starting the drones.
  
  1. Pay attention to the direction you set the drone spawner block & also place it on the outside of the vessel so the drones have easy access to it to spawn & despawn from.
     
  2. To “retrieve” spawned drones toggle the power off for the drone bay & wait for them to return & despawn. When they are close to your vessel keep it still so they can find the spawner & despawn.
     
  3. Please note this is the first iteration of this feature. Please leave you feedback here

So first ask, then shoot.

• Added home systems for community-submitted factions

This is already the 10th dev journal of “METAL SUITS”. METAL SUITS is confirmed to participate in GamesCom(B2B, B2C) and Tokyo Game Show (B2C) exhibitions this year, and will participate in exhibitions at BIC (Busan Indie Connect Festival).

Today I am going to talk about the new planet Tenal and how it’s improved over the original game.

--------------------------------------------------


This is Tenal, the fourth planet of Metal Suits.


<The fourth planet - Tenal>

Tenal is a planet made entirely of machines. As a factory planet in the Hellios system, it is difficult to tell whether it is day or night as it produces various mechanical devices.


<Tenal screen configuration>

Your mission this time is to defeat the Golida tribes who have conquered the planet Tenal, where you can produce various mechanical devices. As it is a factory planet, there are various obstacles, so you should always play carefully.



(1) Portal & Portal Circle

<Moving through the portal>

Users can move to other areas connected to the portal through the portal.


<Portal circle - users can only come out through the circle>

The portal is configured to be able to enter and exit, but in the case of the portal circle, it is configured to only be able to exit.
You never know where the portal will lead, so always be careful before entering it.


(2) Jump platform

<Jump platform>

Climbing on a jump platform will make you jump upwards. It works by the same mechanism as the ‘Spring mushroom’ from the planet Mushdora.


(3) Steampipe

<Steampipe>

It is a steampipe from which hot gas is ejected. A small burst of steam is released from the cracked pipe before it erupts, followed by a large burst of steam after a period of time. Contact with steam can cause death, so be careful.


(4) CCTV Gun


<CCTV Gun>

It is a device with a gun attached to CCTV to defend against trespassing enemies. It cannot be destroyed, so be aware of the CCTV and move around while avoiding bullets.


(5) Electric guard


<Activating and deactivating Electric Guard>

An electrical guard that is activated by default and impassable, but becomes inactive when certain conditions are met (using a lever, etc.).


(6) Responsive door


<Responsive door>

It is a responsive door designed to open when a certain area is reached. It doesn’t open that fast.


(1) Golida Jet and the Shockwave Machine


<Golida Jet and the Shockwave Machine>
The Golida Jet is a Golida-type unit that attacks from the air with a jet engine attached to its back, and the Shockwave Machine is a mechanical unit that attacks by firing shockwaves at ground units. Shockwaves will be fired in both directions, so be careful.


(2) Golida Scientist


<Golida scientists panic when they see Kevin>
Golida scientists are purely research scientists so they do not attack.


(3) Mad Golida scientist


<Mad Scientist’s Red/Blue Flask Attack>

The Mad Golida Scientist will attack by throwing a red or blue flask. Red flasks turn into pillars of fire, and blue flasks turn into paralyzing gas.


(4) Robot Dog


<Robot Dog>

The robot dog sounds an alarm when it detects an enemy. When the alarm goes off, enemies will spawn from nearby Golida Warp Doors. Also, watch out for the robot dog as it will lunge near Kevin.


METAL SUITS is under development, but since the exhibition is ahead, the overall game is in the process of upgrading. Added lights and improved various effects.

(1) Improved light, fog area, chapter 1 background, and added rain effect


<Before light/fog area/background/rainy effect applied>


<After applying light/fog area/background/rainy effects>


(2) Improved effect when using Gatling Suit special skill

Significant improvements have been made to the overall UI and effects when using Gatling Suit special skills.


<Before Gatling Gun special effect improvement>


<After Gatling Gun special effect improvement>

--------------------------------------------------

In the next post, I will focus on explaining the changes ahead of the exhibition.

Thank you for reading the development log to the end. If you are interested in our project, please wishlist it.

Get ready for a new kind of support in NosTale: from 27th June (11 AM CEST), the specialist partner card of the Wood Elf Archer Forga will be available on the NosWheel.

Whether it’s the Poisoned Arrow that slowly wears down your enemies, or the Deadly Seeds that lower their defence and health points, Forga is an invaluable ally!


Pick up the stealthy Wood Elf Archer Forga now with this specialist partner card! While she’s accompanying you, you benefit from the effect ‘Accompanied by Wood Elf Archer Forga’, which increases your champion experience by up to 25% and gives you a chance to increase all of your attacks by 7%.

• Poisoned Arrow – Increases ranged attack and the water element. Causes Special Poison: every 4 seconds, reduces the opponent’s HP and their hit rate.
• Vine Arrow – Increases ranged attack and the water element. Causes Binding Vines: triggers Strangling Vines after its effect duration. 50% chance to inflict ‘Fatal Bleeding’ on your opponent.
• Strangling Vines – Reduces the opponent’s HP and movement speed. If the affected target is attacked, all attackers have a certain chance of having their damage increased by 5%.
• Deadly Seeds – Increases ranged attack and the water element. Causes Deadly Seeds: increases the long-range damage taken, reduces the opponent’s defence and HP.

Have fun!
The NosTale Team

Hi again Talisman players! ːbluetalismanː

Another small update, with two changes this time:

• Fixed errors that would happen when handling directory names with accented characters, eg è
  
• We unified network libraries across all platforms to address odd crashes that cropped up since the last patch (the one that fixed Windows 7 compatibility).

If you notice any issues or would like to report a bug, you can do so either through our official Nomad Games Discord or here on the Steam Forums! ːheartː
