Dear CEOs,
The Hot Time event from June 26 to July 2, 2024, is scheduled as follows.
Please read carefully to use all vital buffs to enhance your company.

Thank you.


◆ On-Time Event Schedule

• June 27, 00:00 ~ July 2, 2024, 23:59 (UTC+9)
• June 26, 10:00 ~ July 2, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)

◆ On-Time Event Gift

• 7,500 Eternium
• 2 Exploration Permit
• 1 Simulation Training Permit

◆ How to Participate in the On-Time Event

• 
  Event gifts will be given to your mailbox every day upon login.

◆ Hot Time Event Buff

1) 20% Increased Gauntlet Points Gained

2) Operator Boosting

• 
  June 26, 00:00 ~ July 2, 2024, 23:59 (UTC+9)
• 
  June 25, 10:00 ~ July 2, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)

When the [Operator Boosting] buff is active, the success chance of leveling the Side Skill of the operator will increase.

Success Chance Increase

SSR: No change
SR: 10% Increase
R: 50% Increase
N: 100% Increase

The table below depicts when you are leveling the SSR Operator.


The success chance follows the multiplication rule of probability.

For example, when the buff is active, the success rate when using the R operator to the SSR operator does not equal 65%, but 22.5%.

Reason: 0.15 * 1.50 * 100 = 22.5

Note

   CEOs can only receive the On-Time event gift once a day.
2. 
   The On-Time event gift will be deleted when the valid period expires, please receive it within the period.

Launch delay.

Happy Tuesday! Due to last-minute technical problems, Chapatriste launch date has been delayed by two weeks (it is no longer happy Tuesday).

We want to be cristal clear: there is a build but is not perfect. We prefer that the project on which we have worked so lovingly over the last three months comes out in the best possible way.

For this reason we are forced to extend the release dato by two weeks.

Thanks.

Chapatriste Team.

MTM: “Oh! It’s nice to see you again, my fellow musician! The Soleuhin Festival is sure to be something spectacular, I hope you’re just as excited as I am! The Soli Kingdom is very particular about making sure it’s as extravagant as can be, so there’s still a bit of time before the festival officially kicks off. If you ask me, I’d say it’s the perfect opportunity to get some practice in and explore beforehand!

So what do you say?”

A bit late for announcements since we released our Steam Store, but I feel now is a good time as any to proudly use our first Official Steam Page announcement to announce that Playtest Sign Ups are now open with our very, very, VERY first play-test session for We Got Compagnie! starting from July 4th to July 18th!


On July 4th, 11am PST, we'll be granting access to the play-test to ALL players that have signed up for play-testing. The sign up button will remain visible on our Steam Page throughout the first week of Playtests, to which on July 11th we'll grant access to the rest of the sign ups and close the ability to sign up for the month.

Due to the nature of our game being in SUPER early Alpha stages, and the lack of any NDA we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE any and all play testers to share footage of our game!!

The Play-test also has its own dedicated Steam Community Hub to direct feedback from each play-test to our dev team, and also contains the main patch notes of what's been added/changed in the current build within the announcements page of the Play-test Community Hub.


Although our game is far from finished, we have some exciting features planned for the game, from more bosses, to having the player unlock and choose different violin play-styles to fight against 6 different bosses, to being able to control the pitch of your violin to gain an edge in combat, and having a coop mode where you and your friends can face off the corrupted orchestral family up to a quartet (technically a quintet, including the boss) of epic musical proportions!

We're thinking of making a Kickstarter/Kofi of the game, but it won't be possible unless we gain a strong enough community to support and push this project to completion! Please wishlist our game to show your support!

And although our internal development cycle is very very slow at the moment, we'll try our best to keep up with any feedback provided through current and future play-tests and our growing community, to slowly but surely make this game be the best that it can be up till full release.



Speaking of our growing community, I'm also happy to announce that our Official Discord Community Server for We Got Compagnie! is now officially open! Come join in and be a part of the Compagnie!!: https://discord.gg/yvAFKtHbwQ


I'm super-duper excited to share what the future has in store for this game, and I'll be ever so glad and grateful to travel along this journey with you all!

Stay tuned!~
–J.P.

Update the game desert scene and add some vegetation.
