It’s the hot summer, which is certainly the best time to go to sea! This new War Thunder event is dedicated to Italy, a prominent Mediterranean power. Take part in Naval Battles and receive an Italian Naval ship flag, themed decals, trophies with consumable items and the Alcione!

When: From July 24th (11:00 GMT) until August 7th (11:00 GMT), earn mission points in Naval Battles, unlock stages and receive rewards!

Alcione thrives in shallow water and among rocks. This ship is armed with two 76 mm SMP-3 cannons, Bofors anti-aircraft guns and Hedgehog mortars! This mortar is not easy to aim, but if you take the enemy by surprise, an accurate salvo at a short distance can sink an enemy destroyer.



Among the rewards in the event is also this chest, where, when opened, brings the chance to receive one of the following items:

• 50,000 - 100,000 Silver Lions
  
• Silver Lion and Research Point boosters
  
• Random Wagers and Orders
  
• Universal Backups (1 - 3)
  
• A random camouflage for a vehicle you own
  
• 1 day of Premium Account

Each stage can be obtained for 35,000 mission points, where every new stage obtained will give you a new reward.

Please note: After finishing a stage, you need to collect the reward manually. To do this, click on your name in-game, go to “Flight of the Albatross” and click the “Get Reward” button.

You’re able to earn mission points in Naval Battles at Rank III or above in Arcade and Realistic Battles. The number of mission points to complete a stage depends on the game mode and the maximum Rank of the vehicle that you use in battle. There’s a multiplier for earning mission points, which is shown in the task description in-game.  

You can also earn mission points by using event vehicles that are Rank I and II. Event vehicles that can be used have the name of the event that they were obtainable in on their stat card.

Stages change every two days at 11:00 GMT on July 26th, 28th, 30th and August 1st, 3rd and 5th.

• For 1 Stage: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 2 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  
• For 3 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 4 Stages: one of the decal rewards
  
• For 5 Stages: trophy with a random reward
  
• For 6 Stages: “Italy Naval Jack” ship flag
  
• For 7 Stages: non-tradable coupon for the Alcione

Unfinished stages can be purchased for Golden Eagles, but if you’re significantly close to completing a stage, its price will now be significantly reduced.

Let’s say you have earned 85% of the required mission points to complete a stage, then the price of purchasing this stage will be halved. If you’re near the finish line for a stage and are at 95% progress, then the price will be reduced by five times. For example, if you’ve scored 30,000 mission points, then the price for unlocking this stage will be 499 Golden Eagles. If you’ve scored 33,500 mission points, then you’ll only need to pay 199 Golden Eagles. Remember to keep this in mind if you cannot complete a stage on time!

When you complete 7 stages, you’ll receive a non-tradable coupon for the Alcione, where using it will immediately activate the vehicle onto your account. If you don’t want the vehicle and would like to sell the coupon on the Market, you’ll need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item can be earned in parallel with the stages throughout the event from July 24th (11:00 GMT) until August 7th (11:00 GMT) for 600,000 mission points.

After receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” item, you can convert a non-tradable coupon for the vehicle into a tradable one and sell it on the Market. The tradable coupon can be sold after 6 days from the moment it’s created.

To make a tradable coupon, select the “Coupon Alcione (Italy)” in your inventory and click the “Modify” button.

The “Upgrade for coupon” item is valid until 11:00 GMT on August 12th. Until this time, you can use it or exchange it for War Bonds. Afterwards, it’ll disappear from your inventory.

You can track the progress of completing stages and receiving the “Upgrade for coupon” by clicking on your Nickname > Achievements > Flight of the Albatross. If you don’t manage to complete a stage on time or would like to purchase a stage, until August 12th from the Achievements window, you can purchase each stage with Golden Eagles which will give you the corresponding rewards.

Greetings, Directors!

Moving FASTER than the speed of light (maybe) let’s keep pace with our resident high-speed Consultant, Ultra this Galacticare Wednesday!



Ultra, the Tenki tank, is the perfect choice for players that enjoy creating efficient environments. She can teleport around the hospital, and gives patients Warp Buddies, which are small drones that teleport patients to treatment rooms! Resulting in swift recovery for all (again… maybe).

You can play Galacticare however you like! Here’s a helpful tip for those who love a streamlined process, but unsure of where to start! When you’ve unlocked Ultra, put her in the Diagnosis room. This will allow her to see patients early on, allowing them more time to survive!



How would YOU utilize Ultra in your hospital?

Consultants are heroes of the medical world. Unlock new consultants as you play and bring them along as you journey across the galaxy. You can even revisit older levels with them!

Until next time, Directors!

For a while now, the main feedback we’ve been receiving from players is that they didn’t expect Pyrene to be *this* much fun. It is time for us to explain why Pyrene stands out and is in a league of its own!


Pyrene doesn't just rely on you surviving the furthest you can in a run - you also have to get your village back on its feet, unlocking new features in different biomes, characters, powers…




When you launch a roguelike for the first time, you might feel frustrated about the immediate high-level difficulty at the start. What makes roguelikes fun is figuring out how to outsmart the game and finding your preferred playstyle and strategies to make it easier. In Pyrene, you’ll start with a "lower" difficulty, and you can even make the game easier if you feel overwhelmed. The more you progress into the zones and biomes and defeat bosses, the more difficult the game becomes.

Environmental effects will add up, creatures will become stronger with trickier passive effects, organizing your deck will become crucial…




When you enter a danger zone, it's like a puzzle you have to solve. You’ll need to plan your moves - as you cannot go backward - continuously check your HP, use your special powers carefully, paying attention to the environmental conditions… And the “Spending the Night” mechanic also has pros and cons, so it’s more complex than slaying the monsters and moving on!



We’d be happy to tell you more about the lore of the game, since Pyrene is also deeply narrative-oriented! Want to know more about something in particular? Leave a comment below! Feel free also to join our Discord server to ask us and stay informed about the latest news!

Attention mercenaries!

We are excited to share our plans for the latter part of 2024 with an updated roadmap.

The Pits will be released in August (next month)! This combat-focused DLC will introduce diverse and strategic scenarios where your goal is to lead your troop to victory. Confront formidable foes in 25 battles across 5 unique locations, each with its own distinct theme.

In October, Community Update 4 will bring free content to the base game, including a new champion and new places of interest. A drop-in/drop-out co-op functionality will also be implemented, along with balancing tweaks and bug fixes.



Stay tuned for more details!

Dear Generals,

We are excited to share that our team is hard at work developing the British campaign for Ultimate General: American Revolution. This upcoming campaign will feature many new mechanics, adding depth and variety to your strategic experience.



We plan to implement asynchronous gameplay. You will be given control of cities in England which you will use as a base. Create a fleet, regiments, and produce weapons and supplies. All this must be delivered to the colonies. Colonies will be primarily a source of raw materials. We will divide the markets into European and American. European prices will be more attractive, but it is necessary to ensure the delivery of goods to England from the colonies.

We have fixed many issues and made improvements to AI and balance.

Due to the complexity and scale of this new content, we are currently unable to release an update. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we focus on delivering a high-quality addition to the game.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm!

The trek task involves walking or running a certain distance in a given area within the deadline of the intention.

Enjoy the scenery along the way!

• Fixed the bug that the fruits on the tree were not shown in the sense mode.

• Now you can customize the key bindings for quick emote keys (0-9 by default) in the settings view.
  
• The distance of the sense mode has been slightly increased:
  Collectable 20m (unchanged)
  Food 30m -> 50m
  Animal 50m -> 80m

In this prototype, we implemented a music video-style message window by customizing "Utage," a visual novel production tool for Unity.
The message window can be animated using only the same dialogue display commands as usual.

We wanted to challenge Live2D expressions that had not been used in our previous works, such as the double meaning of romance and horror, and the double meaning of a heart-pounding performance.

For the fans of "Animaloid Girl," I am just one of the nameless staff members.
It is no exaggeration to say that this work is built on the corpses of "Romp of Dump" and other individual productions, but few people are aware of this.


I would like as many people as possible to know about my individually produced works as well, but I am not good enough. So I have been very depressed in the past few months.

I prototyped new expressions in my spin-off delusion and updated effects in "Romp of Dump" because I have always worried that my games lacked visual appeal.


My problems have not gone away, and I have not and will not change the fact that I suffer from a lack of confidence.

I only hope that I can at least sublimate my dark feelings into my creative work, and I would appreciate your support.

Howdy Friends!
