This release focuses on fixing lots of issues found in earlier GameMaker versions and increasing general performance and stability in various parts of the product.

Release Blog: https://gamemaker.io/en/blog/release-2024-4

The IDE has an emphasis on saving and loading fixes, plus hotkeys and UI/UX workflow issues. This release will be especially important for Windows IDE users who find they encounter saving/build issues because their project source code is managed by OneDrive.

There are also a number of important “submission” fixes/additions on the runtime side, including new privacy manifests required by Apple, a new build stage on Android, and several SDK versions being raised to match the current requirements on different platforms, so please do carefully read all of the release notes linked below!

Full Release Notes: https://releases.gamemaker.io/release-notes/2024/4

This release includes many improvements in the connectivity, reliability, game difficulty, and overall “feel” of Six Days in response to requests from our community:

1. POINT-SHOOTING: We’ve added another crosshair option for players who preferred our previous Point Shooting system. A single “dot” can be selected in the game settings, offering players more flexibility for how they engage in combat. Please note that the latest Point Shooting system is still active, and fire will continue to be less accurate at longer ranges and more accurate in CQB (even with the “dot” active). We’re still looking into ways of making AOS (aim-over-sight) more viable for players who prefer having the crosshair disabled.
   
   
2. INTERACTIONS: Our interaction system has been reworked. Now, players no longer stand directly in fatal funnels in order to perform interactions. These can now be performed from a wider angle, are more reliable in focus areas, and can even be cancelled for a brief window of time. Giving players more control over exactly how they breach into interiors, for example, is just one of the many improvements to interactions we have planned for Six Days.
   
   
3. GAME DIFFICULTY: Finally, game difficulty has received a major balancing pass. Based on player reports, we’ve identified and addressed a series of bugs that “broke” game difficulty. This resulted in a series of unintended difficulty spikes during gameplay and created a frustrating experience for new and veteran players alike. Just like real-life, Six Days is still very much balanced for a full fireteam, so solo play will still be realistically challenging. But now, we hope players will find difficulty a little more manageable. Of course, we’ll continue to iterate on this with the community as we continue development.

NOTE: We initially planned to include Dedicated Server testing and Incremental Matchmaking in this release, but we’ve identified some bugs. We plan to hot-patch these into the game as these issues are resolved, in the coming weeks.

- Great Houses of Calderia Team -

Мы решили отойти от концепции "один старт - одна игра". В главном меню была добавлена кнопка "Новая игра". Теперь нет необходимости искать и удалять файлы сохранений в надежде начать новое приключение в мире The Danger Zone.

Начиная новую игру, каждому игроку необходимо выбрать один из трёх стартовых наборов. Каждый набор даёт свои стартовые предметы и экипировку. В будущем каждый сетап будет применять специальные модификаторы усложняя или облегчая игровой процесс.


Медленно но верно задний фон наполнялся текстурами. В какой-то момент визуальная составляющая главного(переднего) фона стала сильно контрастировать. Данное обновление призвано исправить эту ситуацию.

Данное обновление приносит такой важный игровой элемент как экипировка и переосмысляет одежду. Теперь носимое вами это не просто скин. Каждый элемент вашей экипировки так или иначе влияет на важные показатели, Увеличивая или наоборот уменьшая противорадиационную защиту, скорость и мобильность персонажа.

В этом обновлении были добавлены следующие предметы и элементы экипировки:

• Добавлено 3 рюкзака
  
• Добавлен подсумок на два карманных отделения.
  
• Добавлено 2 противогаза
  
• Добавлено 2 респиратора. О них чуть ниже.

Помимо выше перечисленных нововведений, в данной версии мы изменяем механику противогазов. Дело в том, что изначальная задумка противогазов такова: Вы получаете защиту от радиации но теряете обзор происходящего вокруг. Собственно примерно так и работает противогаз в реальной жизни.
А теперь о респираторах, они лишены выше описанного негативного эффекта но и защита от радиации у них намного ниже.

Это все на этой неделе. Спасибо за внимание к обновлению. Ознакомьтесь с последними новостями на странице новостей Steam или посетите обсуждения. Общайтесь с другими игроками на официальном сервере TDZ в Discord.

Commanders!

Today, we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• T-15 Kinzhal Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Namer Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Abrams AGDS Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Hunter Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle
• BMPT Mod.2017 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Iron Crate

Between May 2 and May 9, 2024, the following items will be available:

 
 

This vehicle is a version of the T-15 heavy IFV (built on the Armata platform) but instead of the Bumerang turret featuring 30mm autocannon, it’s armed with another combat module called Kinzhal. The Kinzhal module’s main armament is long 57mm automatic cannon that can devastate even the heaviest IFVs it could meet on the battlefield. A prototype appeared in 2019 but the concept was not approved for mass production. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the T-15 Kinzhal is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. Unlike the original progression version of the T-15, it’s a vehicle that relies heavily on its autocannon. The 57mm gun is immensely powerful and can fire in three round bursts with one of the highest damage per minute outputs in the game. In addition to its outstanding firepower, the Kinzhal is heavily armored and despite its average mobility, it’s one of the most durable and versatile vehicles in Armored Warfare.

This vehicle is available via Loot Crates, which drop T-15 Kinzhal parts. Collect 100 T-15 Kinzhal parts from these Loot Crates to assemble the whole vehicle.

 

 

 
 

The Namer IFV is an Israeli heavy fighting vehicle version of the Namer platform developed in the early 2000s from the Merkava Main Battle Tank. Israel is a small country and cannot affect high infantry losses, which is why the Namer features extremely high levels of protection. The IFV variant is fitted with a Rafael turret, featuring 30mm autocannon and a Spike missile launcher. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Namer is a Tier 10 Premium Tank Destroyer. As its history suggests, it is a superheavy TD with its protection levels being amongst the highest of its class. It is slow and ponderous but its thick front can deflect even advanced shells while maintaining adequate firepower thanks to its autocannon and ATGM combination. Its MBT-like characteristics make this vehicle quite forgiving for new players, but, as they say, a jack-of-all-trades is a master of none.

The Namer Tier 10 Premium TD is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.

 

 

 
 

The Abrams AGDS (Armored Ground Defense System) was a vehicle concept and proposal, drafted in July 1996 by Dr. Asher H. Sharoni (a former colonel in the Israeli Defense Forces) and Lawrence D. Bacon from a Californian company called Western Design Howden. It was supposed to be an air-defense vehicle, protecting the Abrams formations against flying threats, although its weaponry can be deployed against ground targets as well. The United States were, at the time, sorely lacking a vehicle comparable to the Russian Shilka and one of the ideas was to use the Abrams chassis paired with a new turret to produce an armored AA gun that would be able to keep up with the American tank units. This plan was never realized and the vehicle stayed only on paper but you can play the Abrams AGDS in Armored Warfare and experience what it would have been like, had it ever been deployed.



In Armored Warfare, the Abrams AGDS is a very unique Tier 9 Premium Tank Destroyer. What makes it so special are its two large guided missile launchers capable of firing an incredibly devastating volley within seconds. The AGDS can devastate practically every opponent on the battlefield with a single salvo, making it one of the best and most effective mid-to-long range vehicles in the game. At close ranges, it can rely on excellent frontal turret protection and its two 35mm autocannons to keep enemies at bay until the missile launcher reloads to unleash another deadly swarm of missiles. The Abrams AGDS is one of the most feared vehicles in Armored Warfare!

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
 

Another alternative name for this vehicle is NGAFV (or Next Gen AFV), since it belongs to a whole program to replace the obsolete M113 APC in Singaporean service and to operate alongside its predecessor, another indigenous Singaporean IFV called Bionix. Hunter is the name of the production model of this program. The Hunter AFV is the pinnacle of bleeding edge of technology. In this sense, it can be compared to the AS21 Redback and both vehicles share several characteristics, not the least of which being relatively large size. This bulky IFV offers considerable levels of protection and firepower. It is expected to serve in the Singaporean army in large numbers in the near future with its mass-production having recently begun. You can read more about its history in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Hunter AFV is a Tier 9 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle. As its description above suggests, it is a rather standard-sized IFV with good levels of protection and excellent firepower (consisting of a 30mm autocannon and a Spike ATGM launcher). It also features a recently introduced type of armor, NERA. Simply put, NERA is an ablative armor kit that deteriorates whenever it gets hit. In other words, the vehicle starts with excellent protection levels but it will lose some with damage taken as the battle progresses. Apart from that, the vehicle is adequately mobile and quite universal. It can, of course, also deploy Mechanized Infantry.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
 

The BMPT Mod.2017 is one specific version of the BMPT Terminator that was deployed in 2017 in Syria for extended testing along with some other Russian prototype equipment, including the SU-57 jet fighter and the Uran-9 combat robot. It consists of a modified T-90 hull with a modernized turret from BMPT-72 installed on it. Another major difference was the presence of a new type of Explosive Reactive Armor that was made of soft fabric bags with explosive filler. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BMPT Mod. 2017 is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer and arguably the most powerful variant of the BMPT family. Like the others, it combines a tank hull with an unmanned turret, armed with two 30mm cannons as well as four missile launchers. Its thick armor and advanced ATGMs quickly made it one of the most feared vehicles of Tier 8 battlefields, a position it retains to this day.

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

 
 

We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. The Iron Crate is available in our Web Shop!



This crate allows you to win a Tier 4 to Tier 10 Premium vehicle (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles, including:

• ZTL-11 Tier 9 Premium TD
• VN17 Tier 8 Premium AFV

This bundle is available in our Web Shop.

 

 

We hope that you will enjoy the offer and, as always:

See you on the battlefield!
