It includes a bunch of fixes and several changes following your feedback.

We are also introducing the new Season: Crystal Wilds! :Puff_Hi5R:

• Two new cards: Resonating Construct and Spire Stag and their Avatar icons
  
• The new Spire Stag Emote
  
• The Mordar, Mancer of the Dead, NEW legendary skin
  
• The Legendary skin: “Rave Party Girl Milloween”
  
• 35 power tokens
  
• 325 shards
  
• 7000 golds
  
• 3 Legendary cards
  
• 4 Supreme cards
  
• 5 rare cards
  
• And much more..!

Our efforts are going 100% towards improving the experience on PC and Xbox. With 2.1 we have fixed 100+ bugs/other improvements based on your feedback. Patch notes have been published here: ⁠🔮game-updates⁠
Our focus in the near future (after 2.1 patch) is towards the following:

• Crashes and disconnects: We are still getting reports on crashes and disconnects. If you are experiencing these issues, please grab a member of the Minion Masters team and help us locate the issue. It would be a huge help to us!
  
• Issues with DLCs and purchases.
  
• Re-enabling Chat.
  
• Gameplay logic, VFX, and SFX issues.
  
• Improvement to friends list and lobby systems.
  
• Improvements to bots in terms of difficulty and frequency. We aim to make them more fun to play against, but also reduce the frequency at which players face bots.
  
• Adding more UX and Quality of Life improvements. We added a lot of that in 2.1, and more is coming in 2.2. Keep tuning in to the patch notes for more information.

These are some of the most asked questions we’ve seen on Discord. I’ll address them here:

We underestimated the amount of fixes and changes we would have to make when we launched Minion Masters 2.0 Prologue, so for now, we prefer to stay agile and focus on improving the core experience before committing to making new features. However, we’ll keep sharing frequent updates about our next focuses like this one.
We had to take Xbox down for an extended time because we failed to live up to some Xbox requirements. We are now fully compliant with all requirements, and we have no reason to believe that something like this will ever happen again.
Our focus is primarily on optimizing the Xbox and PC experience. Mobile is still very much in the pipeline, though. We can give an update soon, but not quite yet!
With 2.0 we introduced new drafting rules, where each Master has access to different factions. We have heard your feedback on this new rule and decided to revert it for patch 2.2. We think the concept of draft restrictions has merit though, so we might experiment more with this in the future.

❤️ from Yesterfox and the rest of the Minion Masters team

Hello everyone！

Warlords Battle Simulator is now participating in the Lunar New Year Festival 2024. Please wishlist our game!

Year 5 Season 3: Vanguard takes Division Agents back to the streets of New York to investigate the disappearance of Agent Kelso. In addition to the new gear and continuation of the story, players will get their hands on the comprehensive health updates done as the result of Project Resolve.

• Season 3: Vanguard Manhunt
  
• Season 3: Vanguard Calendar
  
• Gear, Weapons & Talents
  
• Descent
  
• Apparel Event
  
• Season Pass

After Division Agents resecured stability in the White House, Agent Kelso returned to New York to ensure the Haven settlement was also secure. But while Agents were rescuing the civilians abducted by the Black Tusk, Kelso had gone missing. Meanwhile, The Division now faces the harsh reality that Hunters are among them, raising doubt and suspicion in both the White House and Castle settlements. Agents must now find Kelso, but as they retrace her steps, more truths will be uncovered, reopening some old wounds.



Get ready to gear up and arm yourself with the new weapons and gear in Year 5 Season 3! This features two new Named Weapons, two new Named Gear pieces, a bunch of new Talents, plus a Gear Set and a Brand Set. Exotic-wise, you've got one Exotic gear piece and two Exotic weapons - one of them exclusively available in Descent game mode.





*Current in-game description is incorrect and will be changed with TU20.1
Read more here.

• Vindicator Exotic Rifle is available in the NSA store.

When the event is active, you can earn Apparel Cache keys in game by levelling up your watch levels and unlocking the different items through caches.  Apparel Event keys for the Apparel Caches can be earned from the following sources: 1 free key granted to all players, SHD Levelling - one key every four SHD levels, direct purchase with Premium Credits, and, if you are a Year 5 Season 2 Premium Pass owner, you’ll be granted 3 extra keys.


Veiled Tactics Apparel Event offers a collection of four new outfits for you to acquire, with an additional fifth outfit as a completion reward. The event revolves around the theme of Camouflage, catering to those Agents who appreciate the art of concealing oneself.



Last Resort Apparel Event returns from Year 2 Season 3: Concealed Agenda, offering Agents another opportunity to gather gear and outfits based on the enemy factions of NYC.




The optional Season Pass is available for 1000 Premium Credits ($9.99 or your regional equivalent) in the in-game store, granting additional access to a Menpo outfit and a mask. Year 5 Season 3: Vanguard is available to all The Division® 2 Warlords of New York owners and Ubisoft+ subscribers.



In addition, players with the Season Pass can gain access to the following premium track rewards:

• 9 weapon skins
  
• 10 gear dyes
  
• 2 new emotes
  
• 2 vanity outfits
  
• 1 face mask

In addition, new unique cosmetic bundles will be regularly added to the store. This time players will get the looks of Keener's squad of rogue agents from Warlords or New York. Each one will be made available as a unique outfit: Dragov, Conley, Kajika, Parnell, and rogue number one - Aaron Keener himself.

You can also track some of the top-level investigations being conducted by the team over on our Known Issues Board.

Good luck out there!

Updates:

• Fixed UI MultiInput Issue. Replaced Modals with Animated windows instead.
  
• Updated E1M2 to be playable until the Bridge Arena
  
• Added E1M3 for playtesting
  
• Phone UI is now buggier but thats fine let that be a problem for our future selves
  
• Fixed major bug with Bulldozers where they just hang in the air forever
  
• Replaced interactibles with a podium switch. Using that for everything now.
  
• E1M1 wallrunning tutorial section made easier.
  
• Minor bugfixes.

Known Issue:

• Loading E1M2, then another level, then back to E1M2 causes some insane untraceable bug. Bear with us and dont do that
  
• In E1M2, Collision is missing in certain areas. While we probably know of it, we'd appreciate you guys sharing the locations for us as well!
  
• Rebinding keys might be inconsistent and the UI might not work reliably. Its because we want to add controller mappings as well and we'll probably have to rewrite the whole system.

Keep in mind that E1M2 and E1M3 while uploaded, are still under development and will look and even feel incomplete. That is to be expected. E1M1 however should feel largely complete with only a few minor tweaks required.

If there are major flaws in the level design, environment art, or bugs. Let us know in the discord server:

Or in the feedback form within the game!

A small stream for the demo of the horror game Envelope.

Hello!
The QA phase (in preparation for release) for Descent of the Hunted is well underway, so I'm right on track. This game has been an interesting departure from Veil of Dust (our previous game) in that it focuses 100% on story. Since that's what we consistently heard was the favorite element of VoD, I think it makes a lot of sense to do a story game.



The other obvious difference is the genre, although I think horror and VN fans will be a little more primed for the seriousness of the themes than Farm Sim audiences might have been, lol. In any case, I have had my hands full with our new baby and haven't done any promotion, so I hope this game manages to reach players despite that. If you liked VoD, Wishlist Descent of the Hunted, then purchase and review it as close to the release as possible! Reviews help Steam recognize new games as legit.

Both Veil of Dust and Descent of the Hunted will be part of the Women's Day Sale coming up at the end of the month. Each highlight and explore different women's experiences in storylines straight from the quill of a female writer, as it were, so I'm confident they'll be great additions. My co-creator for Veil of Dust has also noticed that there's something fundamentally different about our female character designs, noting that they've been totally free of pressures external to the female creator's intentions. That's something special you can only get from tiny, independent teams.

Thanks for reading!

Hello Awesome Folks,

We have updated Visage Technologies Tracker to v9.1 in Animaze.
Those of you who are checking out the next-version branch have already played with it since last week; now, after additional testing, it is making its way to the main branch.

• added tracked vertical pupil movement to the Default Tracker. If the motion is too intense you can adjust it (or even turn it back off) in the Advanced Tracking Settings -> Eyes -> Eye Pupil Vertical Movement.
  
• fixed a bug causing the shop-interfacing galleries to not load properly sometimes,
  
• fixed a crash when importing some VRM models,
  
• fixed a bug related to TPose validation in GLB files

As always, we love hearing what you think about the new content and Animaze! Tell us what you’d like to see added to Animaze on our Discord server or email us at support[@]animaze[.]us!
Thank you for supporting indie avatar engine initiatives.

Cheers, and happy streaming!

To survive, each ship's crew needs provisions. What can you find to eat when surrounded only by water? Fish, of course!

Fish can be obtained several ways:

• collect food by searching the rocks encountered along the way;
  
• pick up some fish after a mine explosion or from the body of a dead shark;
  
• catch fresh fish yourself, but for this, you will need to acquire a fishing rod, then after fishing you’ll have to process and cook your catch;
  
• purchase fish from some traders.

Fishing is an activity that requires concentration and full immersion in the process, so choose a calm place so as not to be distracted from this meditative occupation by angry sharks and other enemies.



There are three types of fish: small, medium, and large, each requiring its own bait. You won't catch a big marlin with a puny worm! So you'll have to sweat and improve your fishing skill!



To prevent your catch from slipping away, control the fishing rod, keeping the float in the "white zone." The longer the float stays out of the zone, the higher the chance that your fish will slip away and disappear into the depths of the sea.

For a more successful fishing experience, here's a life hack from Captain 'Alter Ego': "Cast your line, keeping an eye on where the targeted fish is swimming. Properly directed casting will help adjust the movement and intercept even a fish swimming away from you!"

After a successful fishing trip, your crew will gladly start processing the catch! After all, who really wants to eat raw fish? You can give orders to process the fish every time you obtain provisions or appoint someone from the crew to be responsible for the food supplies, and then the designated character will do their job without your reminders.

Make sure there is always enough food in your hold. After all, as it is known: "A strong crew is a well-fed crew!"
