Greetings from the Onigiri Service Team.
The details of the 9/26/2024 JST update are as follows:

---

・We have recently received a number of reports of players falling through the ground while moving.
　In order to alleviate this issue on account of the return warp not functioning correctly, we will change the process of the following functions:
　● The function that warps players to the point of last contact with the ground
　● Return to Return Point function

　We will continue to investigate the issue and work on a fix for the cause of this issue.
　We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work on this matter.

・In light of this issue, we have temporarily disabled death by falling in the [Assault! Dark Fin] dungeons.

・The Point Daruma 1.5x Points Campaign will end.
　※This campaign was originally scheduled to end on 8/22/2024 JST.

Thank you for your attention!

Thank you for your support for Onigiri!

Hey everyone! It's been a few months since the last dev update. Like every good little capitalist 😇 I try to keep my stakeholders appraised every quarter.

FY24 Q3 Executive Summary

• Continued intense work designing and implementing the strategy layer. GRRRR!
  
• Continued adding features to the tactical engine, including NPCs and larger maps.
  
• Continued adding cross-layer mechanics, including POWs. Capturing enemies in battle and forcing them to work in labor camps is such a JOY!
  
• Continued improving enemy tactical AI. They actually work as a team now. Be afraid.
  
• This month finally began internal testing of combined strategy layer + tactical layer: the full loop!
  
• On the marketing front, released a new trailer and posted new dev-logs (see below). And check out the new Steam capsule artwork prepared by my publisher Hooded Horse.

Near-Term Outlook

• Closed playtesting will begin soonTM.
  
• After playtest build is stable, I will release a permanent demo that includes the strategy layer.
  
• Then it's just powering toward the finish line. GRRRRRR!

Lastly, the Tokyo Game Show begins tomorrow and kicks off the biggest week of gaming here in Japan. Given all the buzz around town, I feel compelled to share something special with you guys. So here's a first look at a new ground vehicle.


The Mars Rapid Response Vehicle (MRRV). This is the civilian variant.

The corporation first brought these over to Mars for work use. They're designed so laborers can quickly hop in and out in their suits -- no pressurization needed -- to race to an accident or an emergency. After the conflict broke out MRRVs were adapted for warfare. I will share the non-civilian variant and more details about vehicle mechanics in a future dev log. This game is focused on infantry combat, but vehicles will play a role.

Well, that's it. Thank you for your patience! It felt good to finally begin testing the entire loop. A lot of work is remaining, but with enough GRRRR we'll get there. See you next quarter. -Yuji

Recent marketing stuff:

• PC Gaming Show Trailer (June 2024)
  
• Dev Log #04: Grenades
  
• Dev Log #05: Destruction
  
• Dev Log #06: Shooting and Ballistics
  
• Dev Log #07: World of Mars Tactics (coming soon!)

Disclosures: All forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. I might not actually be a capitalist. Go Padres. You should watch For All Mankind. And listen to DJ Phil's new EP Boarding Pass. Check out this insane fanart by ZOHEI. Other company and product names may be trademarks of the respective organizations with which they are associated. Haha you read all the fine print, this game is definitely for you.

Maintenance has ended as of September 26th at 0:00 am PDT.

NEW CARD
MAGIC STONE EGG

• 1 Mana 2/1 - When this is destroyed or killed, add 3 random Cards to your hand.

BALANCE CHANGES
RUMPELSTILTSKIN

• Old -> 2 Mana 1/2 - Gain +2 Attack Power each time an opponent's Card loses Health.
  
• New -> 2 Mana 1/2 - Gain +1 Attack Power each time an opponent's Card loses Health.
  Rumpelstiltskin's a solid card, let's be honest here. Putting him in a Kill deck next to Singing Bone lets him kind of just run wild. We've decided to cut the benefit he gets in half but we're going to keep monitoring his playrate.

PARTLET

• Old -> 2 Mana 1/2 - On Play: Give the next Character you play +2 Attack Power.
  
• New -> 2 Mana 1/1 - On Play: Give the next Character you play +2 Attack Power.
  Partlet is a very strong card. The benefit that it gives for the next Card is something so synergistic that it gives opponents no recovery room. Nerfing it's Attack Power a bit should help place Partlet in it's correct power level.

NEW ART

• Golden-Haired Giant - Original Art

• Good Fairy - Original Art

NEW VOICE OVERS
The following voice overs have been added to the base cards:

• Sunjimah, Malian King

ADDITIONS:

• n/a

CHANGES:

• You cannot lose Rank Points by winning a match even if the opponent's RP is SO low.

FIXES:

• Fixed an issue with Infestation softlocking the game.
  
• Removed Variants from the CCL and match screens when clicking on a card.
  
• Fixed an issue with Blood Pact not healing dead characters.
  
• Fixed an issue where Talking Cat would softlock a game if the opponent's deck was empty.
  
• Fixed a gamebreaking issue where Drowned King would constantly show as the next unlock in your CCL track.
  
• Fixed an issue where Gems and Gold were not appropriately showing in the track based on your unlock order.
  
• Fixed an issue where it sometimes felt like the collection track was not showing the correct unlock order of cards that you've unlocked.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could try to level up a card multiple times but it would just deduct Gold from you multiple times.

Hi Everyone,

New builds of Medieval Battlefields are now available for all platforms.

This time we're bringing 2 significant improvements:

1) HD Graphics

Most of the graphics in this game is "lowres" since the game was made long ago. We've attempted to modernize this by upscaling existing graphics and re-rendering what we could find source materials for.
The result is not 100% perfect but looks pretty good in our opinion. We hope you'll like it.
(If you don't, you can turn it off in the game settings).
This features is available if you have at least 1080p resolution on your screen.

2) French Translation

The game has now been translated to French! A big thanks to Florent Ladant for the effort.

If anyone else is interested in helping us translate this game (or any of our other games), please contact us at support@cateia.com, we'd be glad to include all community translations in future updates!


Also, included are several minor bug fixes and typos in texts found by players over the past few months. We support all our games long term, and will make updates even if something as small as a typo in the texts is fixed. So please don't hessitate to report any problem with the game, no matter how small.
