Tiny Teams 2023 starts on Thursday, and Hexahedra will be taking part. There'll be lots of streams of games made by small indie teams, like me and the excellent group of freelancers helping me bring Hexahedra to life.

Octavius, who is himself very tiny, is already hyped for the event. Join him in checking it out from 3rd-10th August!

New repair scenario has been added. With this mission your task is to repair the damaged friendly ships in this sector as soon as possible. Thought with the repair bay addition it made sense to add a scenario to make use of it.

Think this may need some fine tuning as:-

1. Any ship destroyed ends the mission. Which may be a bit harsh, so may allow some 'accidents'.
   
2. As soon as last ship repaired, mission is successful. Think i may alter that, so they at least have to leave the map.

I'll be tweaking this over the coming week, so any comments, do let me know with a discussion post.

Full update notes:-

• New repair scenario added. Fix ships no credit reward in scenario. Scenario fail check.
  
• Improve: Starting level resources added to custom difficulty settings.
  
• Improve: Ship repair tooltips.
  
• Fix: Missing end game text translations.
  
• Fix: Load game - don't update audio emitters.
  
• Fix: Ambient station noise level on initialise.
  
• Fix: Station builder door check on placement.

Update 5.2.0 for #Battlefield2042 is now live across all platforms. A game restart may be required to continue play.



Here is an overview of what’s new:

• Map Rework: Hourglass
  
• Vault Weapons: All-Out Warfare attachments for SMGs, LMGs, and Sidearms
  
• Squad Management: Squad Orders, Lock/Remove functionality
  
• Ammo Crate improvements
  
• Dispersion tweaks to SMGs and LMGs

With this release we have fulfilled our commitment that we made to you during last year’s lead up to the launch of Season 1: Zero Hour - we have now reworked all of our launch maps. We’d like to thank you for your continued feedback, but also your patience as we’ve worked to roll out these improvements to you. Let us know how the Hourglass feels!




We are also completing the work to roll out the last set of All-Out Warfare attachments to SMGs, LMGs, and Sidearm Vault Weapons. You will also find further tweaks to these weapons to ensure their gameplay and versatility matches their All-Out Warfare counterparts. Share your thoughts on the feel of these changes, as we’ll be making adjustments if necessary.

Alongside Season 5: New Dawn we also made our first iteration of Squad Management improvements available to you. However, you told us that this feature did not feel complete without “kick and lock” functionality, as it didn’t offer leaders full control over their squad. No matter our previous reasoning for not initially including these options, you’ve told us this functionality is crucial to your squad management experience so we’re adding both these features.

Squad Orders are also included in this update! Work together with your squad to complete objectives and earn additional XP (Squad Order Bonus). All combined, we hope this offers you the Squad Management experience you are looking for. Send us your thoughts.

The team is excited to get this game update in your hands as it covers further areas of your feedback that we’ve been looking to action. We can’t wait for you to play it.


https://store.steampowered.com/app/1517290/Battlefield_2042/

We have updated based on the opinions and bug reports received from players.
If you do not update your game to the latest version, you will not be able to find your opponents.

Update
- Added indication of specific role ratios.
- Fixed role appearance ratio.
- The amount of souls is now reduced by 2 points if both players are human or both players are werewolves and are defeated.
- Adjustment of experience gained at the end of a match.
- Fixed a problem in which werewolves appeared too frequently in the game.
- Fixed a bug where the UI disappeared after an error message.

After the release of this game, we have received feedback from many people regarding this game, and some have pointed out its breakdown as a competitive game.
We apologize for the anxiety and inconvenience this has caused.
I would like to explain our future update policy.

We do not want this game to be a competitive game where you can only win or lose or cheat your opponent.
We want to keep a balance where players have to cooperate with each other first, but at the same time, they have to be skeptical that the other player might be a werewolf.
In order to achieve this, the probability of werewolves appearing is very important, but due to a glitch in the current version, werewolves are more likely to appear than expected.
We are planning to update the game today to correct this situation.

At the same time, we will also change the amount of souls reduced in the total takeover rule from -1 to -2 when a player fails in a situation where cooperation between humans or werewolves is required.
This is a balance adjustment to make players more aware of cooperation rather than competition.
We hope you understand our policy.

We will continue to brush up the balance of the game so that it will be a good mix of cooperation and competition.
We will announce on Twitter and Discord when we have decided on the modification policy.

Firstly, thank you, followers, for your unwavering dedication and immense support. Contained within this manifesto are the latest advancements and enhancements made for the ascension of Aliens: Dark Descent. Our most committed guardians have worked tirelessly to bring forth the long-anticipated transformation.

In line with our promises, we present new campaign options:

• The ability to disable the "Death Clock".
  
• The option to skip the prologue mission onboard the Pioneer Station, provided it has been completed at least once.
  
• We've also integrated an autosave feature that triggers when you exit the Otago at any moment, ensuring the preservation of your progress and any modifications made to your base and marines management.

Rest assured, our commitment to enhancing and refining our ideals remains unyielding. We diligently review your feedback and prayers to aid us in our endeavor to ascend to a superior form of life. Stay tuned for upcoming updates, and once again, thank you for your overwhelming support in our dream.

Best Regards,
Romain Clavier
