No big deal, no big deal... but GET EXCITED!

OH how ruuuude of me! You haven’t been introduced, allow me...




MERCENARY / HACKER / BUZZKILL

Exe may seem like a total buzzkill... because he is. Heh, he can be a little shy at first, but we’ll bring him out of his shell in no time!




ADVANCED AI / KNOW-IT-ALL

HEY IT’S MEEEEE! Waaait a minute, KNOW-IT-ALL?! Did you mean a delightful bot with the most extensive internal wiki?




BOSSY BOOTS

More like AmBOSSYdor, ammiright? The Ambassador is always telling us what to do – something something sAvE tHe uNiVeRsE, Exe! He means well, but wow, does he talk a lot!




EVIL EVIL EVIL BOT

Yeah, this one’s in the name – he's the bad guy. Probably wasn't hugged enough as a baby bot - would help explain why he's on a warpath to destroying the universe... yikes.




And that’s the crew! There’s a lot more we’ll find out along the way, so see you on August 29! Looking forward to saving the universe with you!

Heroes of Arkesia,

The August Update arrives next week, packed with changes built to make everyday life in Arkesia better! The major August Update will include many of the changes discussed within the 2024 Roadmap - Part 3 that we recently shared, including Indigo Island, Bound Gold, QoL improvements, and more— but we wanted to provide a few updates before its release. Our ‘Eye On Arkesia’ video series will be returning next month to cover these type of updates and what players can expect throughout the month.

The Echidna Raid nerfs will be arriving in August, but later in the month. Our teams at Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG are still working to fine-tune the adjustments. We are currently planning to release these changes in the weekly update on August 28, and will provide details leading up to that update.

Additionally, while we hoped to release the Style Book feature in the August Update, our teams hit a delay while preparing this feature for release in the West. We will continue working on preparing it for release in the West and will provide an update as soon as we have an updated plan.

Make sure to check out the 2024 Roadmap - Part 3 for an overview of the major pieces of content arriving over the next four months in Arkesia, and stay tuned for the full August Release Notes next week, which will detail the full slate of changes arriving. In the meantime, we’ll see you in Arkesia!

"Golden Joy" is a unique event that allows you to get resources, you spend gold coins and get rewards in return.


Best regards, JTGGame Team!

Patch-Notes

• Change some of the sound settings, and adjust the volume in circular rings around some of the sounds.
  
• Small fixes around the blueprint code

If you continue to report issues by submitting tickets, we will work together to fix them. I appreciate your cooperation.

• Fixed an issue where the control keys did not work properly during testing when undoing and redoing in custom maps.
  
• Fixed an issue where door tissues did not work correctly in certain situations in custom maps.
  
• Fixed an issue where the game would freeze if too many monocytes were placed in custom maps.
  
• Fixed an issue where special characters were not displayed correctly in key names when entered in key settings.
  
• Fixed an issue where maps were redownloaded every time when entering the Workshop list.
  
• Sorting and filtering settings in the custom map list are now saved.
  
• Fixed an issue where the title would break when pressing ESC in custom maps.
  
• Fixed an issue with corrupted Chinese fonts.

This update adds the following...

1. Fixed a bug in the bubble system which was preventing it from working correctly. This bug was introduced on the last update and would cause some vehicles to disappear and never return!

2. Corrected the stores system for the Lynx 3 so that when loading a DAGR + Hellfire rack it will find and utilise the DAGRs correctly.

3. Updated the stores system so it will always select "SAFE" mode when starting the mission

4. Updated the autopilot PID settings to (hopefully) make the autopilots more stable.

5. Updated the rigidbody settings on helicopters with skids to prevent them "flapping" while in flight.

6. Fixed the text material used by various cockpit instruments to prevent them glowing in the daytime.
