Is it really the end of 2023 already? Where’d summer go?

Now that we’re entering the last quarter of the year, we’re gearing up for another Game Jam! From October 2nd through to October 12th, the team will be working together on their passion projects!

Accordingly, there will be no update on Wednesday, October 10.

Previous Game Jams have led to projects like Perilous Moons, the Blood Torva visual update, LMS Game Modes, Forestry and the Path of Glouphrie – so we’re as excited as you are to see what fantastic ideas the J-Mods come up with this time.

Not every Game Jam project makes it to the game, and sometimes, they look very different from how they started. For example, the Tasakaal Trials, originally pitched as a Kourend update, have transformed into the Fortis Colosseum minigame, which you’ll get to try when the first part of Varlamore releases next year.

We’ll be showing off our projects on an upcoming livestream, with another catch-up in November’s Gazette. Keep an eye on the #OSRSGameJam hashtag to see all the previews throughout the jam!

We’re taking learnings from Deadman: Apocalypse and applying them to the Permanent Deadman World!

This week’s first update is all about experience. Firstly, XP gained from quests and rewards now scales in line with your time played and your skill level, like the rest of the experience in Deadman mode. For clarification, with Protection (the first 12 hours), experience gained is 20x at level 1 through to 10x at level 50+. With No Protection, experience gained is 10x at level 1 through to 5x at level 50+.

Next up, you will no longer lose experience when dying on the Permanent Deadman world. You’ll still have to say goodbye to the 10 most valuable items in your Bank and everything currently on your person, but at least you won’t have to earn your levels back! If you previously insured experience with Gelin, you may speak to her for a refund once today’s update goes live.

Across all worlds, we’ve also added some more items to Perdu's Lost Property Shop:

• Book of the Dead
• Ivandis Flail
• Ava's Devices (Ava's Attractor, Ava's Accumulator, Ava's Assembler)
• Chronicle

Additionally, the above items and the following can now be purchased in bulk from Perdu:

• Lunar Ring
• Beacon Ring
• God Books (Holy Book, Unholy Book, Book of Balance, Book of War, Book of Law, Book of Darkness)

Finally, we’ve seen your comments about alternate accounts gaining advantages in Bounty Hunter. As of today’s update, players who are already in combat will have a 1-second PJ timer against special attacks, giving them time to react accordingly.

Survivors!

There have been a lot of new elements added to the game lately, and one of them is the “Confrontation” rating system. Of course, such an important innovation couldn’t go unnoticed, and you have often asked us how exactly the rating is calculated. “Why does my best battle get less rating than a mediocre one?” — we have received a lot of questions like this in the comments on our social media platforms.

Today, we’d like to clarify these discussions: to put it simply, the rating is calculated as your combat effectiveness per minute. But in order to understand all the details, let’s take a look at its formula:


As we can see, the calculation takes into account the following indicators:

• The outcome of the battle: victory or defeat
  
• Amount of enemies you destroyed
  
• Number of times you assisted in destruction
  
• Number of parts you destroyed on enemy vehicles
  
• Amount of captured bases
  
• Amount of times your car was destroyed
  
• Time of battle in minutes

These indicators have their own weight, which is reflected by the c1, c2, c3, c4 and c5 coefficients. Note that the last one is negative — thus, the player’s destruction reduces the rating received for the battle. The coefficient values are individual for each mode: missions, “Confrontation” and Clan wars.

As you can see, victory in a battle works as an increasing coefficient for points already scored in the battle, and not as an absolute bonus.

The time of battle has a minimum value equal to 1 minute. That means that even if the battle ended faster, the time will still be calculated with this value.

In addition, the full duration of the battle is taken as time — even if your vehicle was destroyed before the end of the battle. We’d like to note that in the Clan wars mode, the sum of the time of all battle rounds is considered for this indicator. It’s also worth noting that during such a battle you can be destroyed more than once.

The rating essentially reflects the concentration of useful player actions per unit of time. It’s up to you to decide what kind of strategy suits you best: saving your durability points and consistently dealing damage until the very end of the battle, or dealing a huge one-time damage and then going to observers!

We are still actively collecting data on the new system and carefully studying your feedback, so be sure to share your opinion!

That’s all for today. We hope you found this article helpful, and we’ll see you in the “Confrontation” mode!

Welcome, detectives!

It’s been a while since the return of detective Souza was announced and we wanted to get back in touch with you. As Cereal Games faces the final stage of the game's relaunch, we feel like sharing more bits of Pecaminosa's development. Starting with this very entry, they’ll arrive on Steam as bimonthly updates.

We hope that these entries will have a more creative than technical approach. In order to lend credence to this declaration of will, today we will delve into music composition — a subject we tackled already long ago on YouTube. The role of a game soundtrack is none other than to add a layer of complexity to what the players see and do. That’s why their relationship must be intimate.

Ours was composed in keeping with the tension and unexpected twists and turns typical of noir fiction, so if we were asked to define it in just four adjectives, they would undoubtedly be elegant, mysterious, seductive and, sometimes, very tense. To put it poetically, we want players to feel it like a night stroll through the alleyways of a big city and taste of cigarettes, whiskey and furtive kisses.



The genre best suited to these characteristics is, as is well known, jazz. Classic noir movies like Les Liaison Dangereuses (Art Blakey), Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud (Miles Davis) and Touch of Evil (Henry Mancini) inspired our artists to create an original soundtrack. As for video games, you may ask, they inspired other aspects of Pecaminosa — expect a new entry on this topic!

Part of the magic of jazz is improvisation, so it was important to look for a formula that respected the project deadlines and the creativity of the artists as well.

We were fortunate to be able to get the whole band together in the same studio and work side by side under the direction of Cristóvão Ferreira, a wonderful artist that understood what the game needed at once. He also helped us create a pleasant work atmosphere that was very conducive to creativity. Our founder, Lazaro Raposo, could experience it in first person since he’s a professional drummer.



Drums, bass, piano, sax and trumpet gave Pecaminosa its own voice. All instruments lead the way at some point of the soundtrack, as they’re important to create a “mood”.

We mean something in the melody that helps players read the situation beyond what they watch on screen. A proper choice will help them decipher what characters may feel and think, and even their hidden intentions. It might look as easy as having a trumpet solo in a ballad, or relying more on drums and percussion for a walk through the city. But there's much work behind all that.

The game required some technical shenanigans to produce the soundtrack, but nothing that could limit our creativity. It was a cool challenge to face, with the best result we could dream of.



That's all for the moment! We hope you stay with us until the release of Pecaminosa: A Deadly Hand to tell us how the soundtrack makes you feel, and what’s your favorite track. If you have any questions regarding this topic, remember that we are available on social media and on our Discord server.





Last but not least, remember to wishlist Pecaminosa: A Deadly Hand! It helps a lot.

Fixed a number of issues that may have caused combat to misbehave, hanging or crashing.<Let me know if issues are found!>

Fixed an issue where shield would not turn on at 100% charge.

Added trade route missing freighter indicator, yellow slot for freighters needed to fulfil demand, and green slots for shipping surplus to next system. If you not care for shipping surplus to next system then ignore the green slots. Each slot is calculated based of the carrying capacity of the light freighter so mega freighters will fill multiple slots.

Worked on improving the opponent AI's economical systems, making them more competent, able to bear the burden of more fleets and expend better.

Added a precursor destroyer that you can find and recover using the system survey feature.

Reduced shipyard construction cost.

Reduced credit reward for surveying debris and alike as well as made tech unlock via survey to partial most of the time and rarely 100%

Fixed power signature detection visual turning invisible on the star chart.
