Hi, everyone. Welcome to the first developer's diary in December.
It's quite a busy week. But the development continues.
As mentioned last week, I am adding more demons. However, this time, things are a bit different. Not all demons are scary. Some can appear cute and attractive, too.
So, who is she?
That's another tricky part. Not all demons come in and shout their names to the world. So, let this be a puzzle for people to solve.
How about this? Let me give you some hints to test your real-life demonology.
1. She can change her appearance at will. So, she can appear either male or female. In modern times, she enjoys being a girl to gather followers because that's much easier.
2. When Lucifer took 1/3 of the angels to rebel. She did not join Lucifer's side. Yet, she got banished to hell and became a demon anyway.
3, She has some history with Machiavelli. Yes, our friendly neighbourhood cunning Florence diploma seems to have a habit of messing up powerful demons with his big brain.
4.
Many of her followers are now worshipping her under this disguised name, unaware of who she really is. And this name is a courtesy of Machiavelli.
Meanwhile, you may have noticed all those special powers her followers can get from her. The ability to rest even in the most dangerous environment is something unique.
Her identity will be revealed when we get there.
To prepare for her appearance, I also returned to the Ardham Hotel. The third floor is now accessible. You can find some Foundation agents. But...
They are certainly no longer in their right minds. Maybe it's another containment breach. Maybe not. The third floor looks identical to the second floor. But it has an entire hidden area of the same size as its surface, which will be revealed in future updates.
Meanwhile, some improvements in the quality of life at this hotel have also occurred. All beds can be used, and all rooms can be cleaned and become safe for you to rest.
There are also some significant changes for all those vendor machines.
You can now attack them to gain free drinks.
Because, why not? Just be aware that it can be a crime if you are detected. Once you break those machines, they can no longer sell items. But, eventually, someone will come to fix them. (You can fill your own narrative here again. This is just how this world works. Maybe it's also a part of the cleaner's job to maintain the "normal" facade of the world.)
You can also hack them, which is a less violent solution and will not trigger the crime alarm.
Of course, a certain anomaly in a certain Foundation base also received some updates.
But why?
Well, those are all the puzzle pieces for the next part of the game. Once everything is in place, the story and the identity of this demon girl can be revealed. As such, the story shall continue next week.
