Frontier Analysis Report #02 - Zack

"I don't think you know this, I'm kind of famous on the internet. Ahem..."

Name: Zack Zhou
Age: 25
Nationality: United States
Former Job: Hacker


Personality Analysis (Extreme)
Zack Zhou loves attention despite being a nerd he always wanted to be recognized by others no matter what.

Desire Analysis:
Fame

Frontier Background Report:

Zack's grandparents migrated to America and established a small restaurant to provide for their family. While their parents worked hard, it was Zack's mother who realized the American dream. Despite starting from the bottom, she worked her way up to become a successful second-generation immigrant employed at a prestigious university.

However, Zack's parents' own hardships led them to become perfectionists, setting high expectations for their child's success. They believed mistakes were unacceptable and success was necessary, showing love to Zack only when he met their desired results. Their ideal version of success required them to invest heavily in Zack's education, hoping to mold him into a successful Wall Street broker.

Despite his exceptional abilities in math, Zack's interest lay in computer science. However, his parents' strict expectations led him to pursue a business degree instead. He found his studies dull and unfulfilling, leading him to cheat on an exam and subsequently get expelled from school. His relationship with his family deteriorated, but he justified his actions as merely following their teachings to achieve results at any cost.

After his expulsion, Zack began to find his true calling. Without any guidance from his parents, he was able to cultivate his natural talent for hacking and gain recognition for his abilities. Zack's thirst for fame and recognition drove him to pursue more dangerous and challenging opportunities, eventually leading him to become a Space Frontier.

Gadget Analysis:

Zack can temporarily disrupt the Frontier comm signals using Anyofus. Anyone close enough at the time of the disruption will be affected, causing their Frontier camera's surveillance system to shut down for a while. During the blackout, some Frontier-comm-related functions such as visual assists and offender alerts will cease to work. It should be useful if he needs to do something unnoticed...Sneaking around in the dark, hacking doors, or..maybe taking out someone sus...? If he can, I mean. Considering his top priority is "becoming famous",

Before we dive into today's patch notes, we'd like to address the feedback we've received regarding players exhibiting offensive, negative, or disruptive behavior. Given the diverse play styles in DUBIUM, it can be challenging to determine whether a user's actions were intentionally malicious or simply a survival tactic. We are currently discussing various methods to prevent such behavior. In the meantime, we have created a bot on our official DISCORD for you to report these users. To submit a report, please visit DISCORD and type /report. Please note that only certain categories can be reported using this bot, and it requires conclusive proof of the accused player(s)' guilt. Without conclusive proof, your report won't have any effect. For user who do not use Discord please used the Player Report Survey here.

Now, let's give you a brief summary of today's patch notes. We have fixed the issue causing the game to crash during the gameplay. Additionally, we have fixed the cost errors in Zack's Gadget ability, and players who have invested in the upgrade will receive the corresponding gap amount of coins as a return.

Frontier Analysis Report #01 - Jessica Fernandez


"Do you think everyone has a price? That's right! So, how much are you willing to pay?"

Name: Jessica Fernandez
Age: 30
Nationality: Brazil
Former Job: Ex-Soldier (Scout)

Personality Analysis (Extreme):
The word "Opportunist" is a perfect description for Jessica. Her exceptional judgment means she rarely misses any opportunity.

Desire Analysis:
Money, freedom (from debt & family)

Frontier Background Report:
Jessica is the first child of an adoptive family. She was the eldest child of a selfless adoptive family known for taking in kids in need from the streets. However, what went on behind closed doors was far from saintly. Her parents neglected their own children, leaving Jessica to bear the burden of caring for her younger siblings from a young age.

Despite her challenging upbringing, Jessica managed to graduate from high school. However, with limited opportunities and a desire for stability, she reluctantly enlisted in the army. Surprisingly, she found solace in the regimented routine, but her peace was short-lived.

One day, Jessica received a desperate call from her siblings. Loan sharks had come knocking, and her parents had fled, leaving their children to fend for themselves. Knowing she was their only hope, Jessica left the army and took a job at a high-paying delivery company.

The deliveries were far from ordinary, but Jessica didn't mind the risks. Her exceptional speed earned her a reputation as one of the best couriers in the city. During one of her runs, she crossed paths with a loan shark who told her about the Space Frontier, a place where she could leave her financial worries behind.

Determined to provide for her siblings, Jessica took the leap and became a Frontier. For the past five years, she has been completing Frontier missions to provide for her family and hoping for just one day to let go of all these financial burdens.

Gadget Analysis:
Boitatá grants a new perspective to Jessica. As long as she holds up her visor, she can have visuals on anyone at a certain distance. Utilizing this ability, she can check her surroundings for any signs of suspicious activity. So I would imagine it would be best not to do anything suspicious around her. Nevertheless, having Jessica and her three extra pairs of eyes should make anyone feel safe!

Among Us is back, but without the crewmates

If you, like me, spent far too much time playing Among Us during the seemingly never-ending COVID-19 lockdown, then I have just the game for you. Enter Dubium, a space game that centres around deception and deceit. Where Among Us has adorable little egg-like crewmates, Dubium trades these out for Pixar-style cartoon astronauts, and it looks amazing.
