After officially unveiling our PC Alpha Test date at TwitchCon EU 2024 - that's July 18, in case you missed it - we're announcing even more exciting collaborations with our friends at Twitch.




We're pumped to roll out five rounds of Twitch Drops during our upcoming PC Alpha Test. These will be available on:

• July 18
  
• July 19
  
• July 20
  
• July 24
  
• July 31

So what does this mean? Anyone streaming Delta Force: Hawk Ops on Twitch over those days can enable Twitch Drops on their channel. Then, once a viewer binds their Twitch account to their Delta Force: Hawk Ops account, watching one hour or more of that streamer's content will reward them with a Steam key for the PC Alpha Test - it's a win-win for everyone!


Once the PC Alpha Kicks off on July 18 we'll be running a series of fun streamer-focused challenges. This will be an opportunity for streamers to showcase their sweet Delta Force skills - however, we'll also be turning the tables, putting a bounty on their heads and inviting players to track them down in-game!

Follow our offical X / Twitter @DeltaForce_Game and Twitch @DeltaForceGameOfficial to stay up-to-date on all the action.


Becoming an official Delta Force: Hawk Ops partner opens up a world of valuable benefits for Creators:
In-game streamer portal: Partners will be featured on the in-game streamer portal, placing you front and center before a whole new audience.
Twitch resources: We'll be providing a range of Twitch resources to partners during the PC Alpha Test period.
Live events & tournaments: Priority will be given to partners to participate in live events and tournaments, many of which will include significant rewards such as cash prizes.
Creator Hub program: Take on Creator challenges and snap up Creator-exclusive in-game items such as titles and weapons skins.

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: Good evening to all undead watching us. Tonight, we have the pleasure of welcoming Sophie Arlington, the remarkably successful manager of Nocturnal Records, to our studio. Sophie, thank you for joining us.

Sophie: (smiling with charm) It's my pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me my little sugar.

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: Sophie, anyone who sees you can't help but admire your success. You have traversed the ages and always show true modernity. How do you do it?

Sophie: Ah, it’s all about understanding the fine art of balance. In both business and aesthetics, one must have an eye for potential and an appreciation for the finer details. It’s about crafting an environment where art thrives—whether it’s music, the art of presentation, or even more... erotic subjects...

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: Speaking of thriving, you’ve certainly done so in a cutthroat industry. But let’s address something a bit controversial. Vladimir de Laligne, the nefarious Elder recently returned to Crimson City, has made some harsh claims about you, suggesting you can't be trusted. What do you say to that?

Sophie: i[/i] Vladimir has always had a penchant for drama, hasn't he? We have a complicated history, dating back to the Prohibition era. While I prefer to focus on the present and he's stuck in the past, it's no secret that I've had to navigate around his... less appealing traits. Let’s just say, if needing to be cautious makes me untrustworthy, then perhaps we need to redefine trust, and he should look into a mirror... if he dares...

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: Well said. We'll let our viewers decide who should be trusted or not. Obviously, I trust you, my dear.

Sophie: You're so lovely, my little sugar...

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: With your undeniable charm and shrewd business sense, it’s no wonder you’ve risen to the top. Is there anything exciting in the pipeline for Nocturnal Records that you can share with us tonight?

b]Sophie:[/b] Oh, there are always exciting projects in the works. We’re exploring new genres and signing artists who embody the spirit of the night. Also, we're planning to launch a tremendous event for the night creatures, with an orgy included, of course. I still need to find the proper blood supplier for the buffet, so if any of your viewers have an entrepreneurial mindset, he, she, or they are welcome to make me a good offer. And here is your invitation, sugar. (She gives a sealed letter to the interviewer)

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: (Enthusiast) That sounds incredibly exciting! Lastly, for any aspiring artists watching us tonight, what advice would you give them?

Sophie: Stay true to your vision, embrace the night, and never be afraid to let your true self shine. The music industry needs authenticity now more than ever.

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: Sophie Arlington, ladies and gentlemen, a true connoisseur of aesthetics. Thank you again for gracing us with your presence tonight, Sophie.

Sophie: The pleasure was all mine, as always. Thank you, and give my regards to the delightful M. Reyes.

Interviewer of V-Diffusion: I will. Dear viewers, have a bloody night and see you soon for another interview with the Elders of our fangtastic city!

Good morning!

I thought all was well with the new build, but I got a report this morning from a Discord member that some mon cutscenes and photo events are getting mixed up and preventing progression. Here's what could be happening to you (quote from Discord):

"I’m struggling to get passed when piggle and nix are let out of the vault. After getting the key from the ship and then going to sleep after helping all the mons that day (all the mons after the final toast lock that I could help) it shows all the cutscenes and then piggle appears like how a ghost mon would and just says “mad” and disappears. It keeps doing this and It’s funny, but I tried continuing and it kept doing the same cutscene and then piggle would be bagged again and then I’d get multiple photos that were from piggle but just labelled as photos separately. Also, nix’s quest would never occur even after helping the second to last ghost mon and having the document and memory stick. I thought at first it may have been because I put in the key code before meeting the cat who gave you the document, but I deleted my save and retried it normally and the same thing has happened again."

I made some changes to mon progression which is probably what's causing this issue. I'm working on a fix right now and hope to get a patch out today. If I'm not able to pin this down quickly, I'll roll the public build back to the last stable build.

I'm sorry that this slipped through.

Hello Super Raft Boat Together players, and welcome to SRBT v1.4.0! Patch notes are listed at the bottom, but here's some other cool info!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/42978/SUPER_CRYPT_BOAT/

Get both Super Raft Boat Together AND Crypt of the Necrodancer in this limited time bundle that will be available until July 15th. Two epic games, for such a great deal! Speaking of deals...


The summer sale has begun, and Super Raft Boat Together is 33% off! And with the bundles with Crypt and Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, there's no better time to get this game and some other great ones during the sale.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1955340/Super_Raft_Boat_Together/

The Super Raft Boat Together demo is back! It's been super polished and will allow people try out the game before deciding to buy it. There's many things that are not available in the demo, the biggest being that there's only 3 areas (Clear Skies, Rough Waters, and Sea of the Damned), and after that is an endless kraken swarm. This gameplay loop makes it similar to Super Raft Boat Classic, but without the ability to loop.



Sea of the Damned now has an alternate biome, players can now travel to the Froggy Swamp! Here there are frogs, flies, turtles, and even a new boss, the Crocodile! This area now brings the total biome count to 9!



The Freezer has arrived and is now the main boss of Arctic Ocean! He also has another form, Electric Freezer, who appears in Electric Flow. Freezer can shoot regular bullets, and ice cube bullets that slows players and freezes rafts. His electric form also shoots electricity bullets that stun players. Are you tough enough to face this frozen menace??

• Super Kraken now has different moves it uses when fighting it on Loop 1 and Loop 2/Post Loop 2.
  
• Super Kraken's idle and transition times are faster on Loop 1 and Loop 2/Post Loop 2.
  
• Post Loop 1, Super Kraken will aim the big laser at the closest player (angle is clamped so it won't shoot above it's own head).

- Updated the compile method for Monster Knockout

This means the compile method went from MonoBleedingEdge method to the IL2CPP method, this just means it will be slightly more difficult to mod but still easy, however its a lot more secure and keeps all the files safe, this means that your file size will be a bit higher than normal
