DD#224 Jiru Expansion & The Doctor Will See You Again
Hi, everyone. Welcome to this week's developer's diary.
As previously planned, we are now back on Jiru Island to expand more content in this area.
The first part is the Siege of Dana.
The survivors in this town have been totally cut off and surrounded by machines. However, players from SAPC++ era know that the Federation has an entire legion stationed in this area to fight against the separatists in the north. But now, they will have to face a more advanced enemy.
When you arrive, you will witness new machine entities that you have not previously encountered.
That's why those anti-aircraft guns are firing while civilians are all hiding in shelters. But their wall is falling.
They also learned a way to counter the machine infiltration. :D
For unknown reasons, people believe machines cannot pass this check.
Well, so far, they are safe.
We will get more content here next week, as previously many quests have led to this location.
The second part is the Final Valor Cave, where you can find a lot of ghosts and plague zombies.
Now, you can find out more clues about why there are plague zombies.
In their desperation, a horrible pact has been made between the last members of the Dark Alliance and a very powerful demon lord.
The Lord of the Flies!
But what other choice did they have when the Federation armies were ordered to kill all of them and take no prisoners? The entire cave has been redecorated with broken furniture they once used and the biomass they left behind in their hideous transformation.
You can also find a document in this location that declares they did nothing wrong and all their crimes were to seek power and knowledge. Which side of the story will you believe? It's all up to you.
But what has been done has been done. Unlike in Queensmouth, where you have a relic for time travel, you cannot go back to the past to change anything here. What you can find is what remains of one of the most significant war crimes in the Federation's history. However, some leaders will tell you it's totally necessary to sacrifice thousands to secure a safe future for millions.
Unfortunately, even such a plan only seems to be a success on the surface.
It only created a dead zone of vengeful spirits, plague zombies, and something more sinister.
Although Beelzebub will not be summoned so easily, his minions can be seen in this cave's deepest, darkest area.
It's almost summer. Those fly-demons are pretty hungry to taste some blood while spreading hell's corruption.
Those are the content updates for Jiru Island.
Meanwhile, we also got an art assets update for that good doctor you can find in Queensmouth Airport. Now he has a full set of 3D animations that replace his old assets.
Those new animations bring more characteristics to his cynical personality.
You can also use his new appearance when you create your customized characters.
But why upgrade such an old NPC right now?
Well, because he will appear again in our next DLC, which will be in full 3D.
In a previous video, you may have found the DLC has a quest known as "Queensmouth All over Again." Indeed, we shall bring back some old characters who experienced the events in Queensmouth to connect old and new stories.
