MotorSlice is one of the top 50 most played demo at the October Steam Next Fest! As a tiny indie, this is WILD.

Unbelievable! Thank you so much for everyone who made made this possible! UNLIMITED POWER

But with so many people playing with P, some weird bugs also appear, so I'm releasing a small patch, mostly bug fixes:

• A bug making the CONTINUE button enabled when there’s no save created, making you start the game on a blank level. I was only aware of this 2 days ago, and I apologize anyone who got this problem. Really frustrating.

• A bug preventing the combat arena wall to deactivate

• Added lock-on on the boss

• Jump distance is now by how long you hold the jump and by speed

• You don't loose speed when motorslicing

• Reduced some camera movements when you disable camera bob

• Fix some minor bugs

• Tweaks on the the gameplay magnetism

The demo will stay here, so don't worry. Also I don't plan on keep updating the demo from now on, and just focus on finishing the game! While I don't have a release window yet, the game is almost done!

"Pretty lame" says our Communications Director Robin Björkell about companies thinking people care about their anniversaries but at the same, a full decade is something to celebrate.

- Personally, I think it’s pretty lame of corporations to believe anyone would be interested in them having their anniversary, however long they’ve been alive. But we started looking back and found some fun pictures and stories, so we decided to make it publicly available. There are some interesting stories there that have never been told before, says Robin Björkell.

this is the first “downstreamed from main game” patch, and I’ll only list changes that the dungeon demo content would see.

• fixed mobs not stopping chase even when the target should be lost

• deferred instantiation of decorative objects across frames

• “origin forest” map is larger, has more trees, and thus takes longer to generate (not really an improvement for now)

• fixed passive mobs not being passive — turns out a previous smarter bt implementation was overwriting the passive bt

• gamepad interact prompt now properly shows on all intended objects

• implemented gamepad dialog ui interaction — you can now use d-pad to choose dialog branches and go through dialogs using gamepad (except when a text input shows up mid-dialog)

• fixed dialog camera jittering issue

• disabled spell casting during dialog

• managed layering between pause menu and dialog ui

• hud ui now takes a modified set of css (uss) rules when gamepad is active, as an experimental feature to test input-device-specific ui

Score twice as many Stamps in daily events, weekly events, and seasonal triumphs in the Double Stamp Rewards Event from October 21 through November 4. Simply finish in a top leaderboard placement when the leaderboard resets to receive your extra rewards. We’re also releasing our second update featuring various quality of life improvements to gameplay, Discovery, and Create Mode for a smoother experience on your Road to Stardom.

Downtime will begin on October 22 at 6AM PT (1:00PM UTC) and is expected to last 5 hours. Check out the full list of changes, including the Double Stamp Rewards Event.

Further bolstering the latest in Loregok looks are special Halloween items available at Beast Shall Ride (BSR) in exchange for Stamps. Stamps are a form of currency that can be earned through gameplay, including events and Triumphs. If you’re eyeing any of the limited time cosmetics in the BSR shop, you’ll want to complete more daily events, weekly events, and weekly seasonal Triumphs for extra Stamps. Stamps can also be obtained from the Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam stores.

Here’s the full breakdown of Double Stamp Rewards by activity. Please note, daily events and weekly seasonal Triumphs are solo activities, while weekly events are for 2 to 4 Contenders. Time remaining before daily or weekly resets will always be visible in-game next to the relevant activity.

Daily events are accessible through the giant King of Meat sign in Ironlaw Plaza. To join, select the Specials tab at the top of the King of Meat Live Channels. Top solo performances in either Slay of the Day and Dungeon of the Day will offer additional Stamps based on the following placements. Excel in both daily events for even more rewards.

• 1: 16 Stamps

• 2: 14 Stamps

• 3-5: 12 Stamps

• 6-10: 8 Stamps

• 11-20: 2 Stamps

Weekly events are found in the same location as daily events. Navigate to the Specials tab after entering the giant King of Meat sign from Ironlaw Plaza. You can then team up with frenemies for a chance to earn twice as many Stamps in the Koliseum Cup.

• 1: 92 Stamps

• 2: 88 Stamps

• 3: 84 Stamps

• 4: 80 Stamps

Heroes of Arkesia,

The region merge for North America has arrived! The merge will begin tonight during the weekly maintenance at 12AM PT (7AM UTC). We are currently estimating total downtime for the North American regions to be 20hrs. For the European region, we estimate that downtime will last 8hrs.

If you’re currently a resident of the North American regions being merged, learn about our plans for structuring servers, along with the planned compensation, gifts, and more!

Our teams at Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG have been collaborating in-person on some region merge magic to create the best possible experience for players post-merge. While the servers of North America West and East will be connected into one in-game region, the game worlds will remain in their original server locations. This will allow players to enjoy the positive aspects of the merge, such as a combined Auction House and Market, and new players to forge relationships within raid/dungeon groups, while mitigating concerns around latency/ping. Players will continue to enjoy the same experience while in their world, and you can learn more about the matchmaking/party-finder experience for instanced content below. For players joining from NA West, please note that the Auction House and Market will be hosted out of NA East, so players with high latency may notice slight lag in extreme circumstances.

Dungeon/Raid Experience

Immediately following the merge, we will be implementing a temporary ruleset for all instanced content (raids, dungeons, etc.). This temporary ruleset will be replaced with an improved version during the November Update, which will stay in-game as the planned final ruleset featuring different rules for matchmaking and party-finder.

Temporary Ruleset (October - November) for matchmaking and party-finder

• Instances will default to NA East for lobbies with players from different worlds.

• If the lobby has 8 players from Brelshaza, the lobby will be created in Brelshaza.

• If the lobby has 8 players from Thaemine, the lobby will be created in Thaemine.

• However, if players from both Brelshaza and Thaemine are in a mixed lobby, they could still enter an instance hosted in NA East.

Final Ruleset (Planned for the November Update)

• Party-Finder: Instance will be created in the world of the lobby leader.

• Matchmaking:

  • A full group of players from the original NA West worlds will have an instance created in NA West.

  • A full group of players from the original NA East worlds will have an instance created in NA East.

  • A mixed group of players will default to NA East. For players that rely on ping to NA West (such as those connecting from Oceania) we recommend using the party-finder tool to ensure they can find or create a lobby that best meets their needs.

We’re excited for the opportunities this will create for players to be able to play together while still having control and agency over their raid and dungeon experience, and will be on the lookout for feedback to ensure it is best meeting the needs of our community.

Back-up Plan

While testing has looked extremely promising for this custom solution leading up to the merge, we are preparing a back-up plan of hosting the Brelshaza and Thaemine Servers in NA East to avoid ongoing extensions of the region merge maintenance. If we need to proceed with the back-up plan, it could result in an additional maintenance. Afterward, we will continue to investigate the solution with NA West and NA East hosted servers that are connected, and identify a future window to make the change. We will provide updates and ensure the community is made aware of the status and result as we proceed through the merge.

• While based in NA West, Brelshaza and Thaemine will need to share the same server time as the other worlds in the region, so they will be updated to NA East timing.

• It may take up to one hour for the NA West Crucible Leaderboard information to display after servers are up from the merge, due to the server refreshing rankings hourly.

• We’ll be on the lookout for feedback regarding the post-merge experience. If you encounter issues or have feedback, please let us know!

Merge Compensation

The following compensation gift will be available in the in-game shop \[F4] for players in the merged region at no cost:

• Rest Bonus Recovery Brew x3

• Aura of Resonance Recovery Elixir (14 days) x3

• (NEW) Ebony Cube Entrance Ticket Selection Chest x3

• Regulus's Light Currency Chest x5

• Crystalline Aura (3 days) x1

• Collective Battle Item Chest x3

There will also be a 1-day Azena’s Blessing compensation sent to each character in the merged region with Azena’s Blessing active during the merge. This compensation will be sent in the next week or two, once the data for the impacted characters has been collected. We appreciate your patience in the meantime!

Merge Gift & Celebration Packs

Along with the merge compensation available for only players in North America, a gift will be sent to players in all regions, which can be claimed in the Product Inventory after the merge. The gift will contain:

• Rest Bonus Recovery Brew (14 days) x3

• Aura of Resonance Recovery Elixir (14 days) x3

• Collective Battle Item Chest x3

• (NEW) Ebony Cube Entrance Ticket Selection Chest x3

• Legendary Pet Upgrade Supplies Chest x1

• Small Processed Chaos Stone (Weapon) Chest x10

• Small Processed Chaos Stone (Armor) Chest x10

Along with the gift, there will be some special limited-time packs available through the in-game shop after the merge.

We appreciate your patience during the extensive downtime required for the merge. We’re excited to see the new friendships formed by players joining together in the new region! Updates can be found on the Lost Ark social channels, primarily the Lost Ark Game Status X account, throughout maintenance. We hope to see you back in Arkesia soon!
