[Neolithic]To the End News

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

This one is going to be short.
As mentioned last week, real-life kicks in really hard this week.

I got a mission to accomplish from a faraway land.
I also got to start moving my office in the same week.

What idiot would do those two kinds of things in the same week? Yes, that would be me.
(And of course, another awesome person did something similar last week, too. :D)

Now, talking about moving the office. There is a lot of furniture to arrange.
So, I just got a few in our game as well.
Here are a few of them.

We got new cabinets, new beds, new bookshelves, and new partition screens. Some of them will be used in new areas of the next chapter of our story.

New furniture vendors will also start to appear in the Commodity Market of Liu, providing more location variations where you can purchase furniture.

That's for this week. The next week will still be a bit bumpy. But, the update frequency will start to get back to normal soon, ideally after I get enough sleep first. :)

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

This week we are mostly working on solving the upcoming food crisis of the world by adding new plants and cooking recipes to the game.

We got the entire pipeline to make bread and streamed meat bums from wheat. The wheat can be turned into flour. The flour can be turned into bread or baozi wrappers by adding yeast and water. You can also add fruit in the process to make fruit cakes. And, with the baozi wrappers, you can add ground meat (which is basically meat produced from a grinder) to make meat bums.

The entire process is quite hardcore as you can copy the process in real life to get the same result. However, in order to reduce the tediousness of this real-life process. You can purchase the intermediate products from food ingredient merchants you can find in the Commodity Market of Liu. They can provide you with pre-made baozi wrappers and already ground meat. You can just throw them into any cooking device that can heat things up to immediately make streamed bums.

As Halloween is just a month away, we also get pumpkin seeds added to the game. You can grow your own pumpkins. You can even find 3D printing blueprints to make decoration Halloween pumpkin heads made from the pumpkins you grow. Pumpkins are also considered a fruit that you can use when cooking. Thus, you can use them to make pumpkin juice and pumpkin fruit cakes. Of course, there is something more sinister about pumpkins for the upcoming Halloween. But, let's leave it to a later date to reveal. After all, that's something for Halloween.

Everything seems smooth and well during the cooking. But, that may no longer always be the case. Especially in a supernatural world with a lot of strange ingredients. I forgot how many times I burned down the kitchen when playing the Sims. But, you can hardly expect something like this to crawl out of your cooking device even in the Sims. :D

The remains of some previously defeated smiles are now back for revenge! It might be unwise to put them together in a pod so that they would merge back as one. The heat from your oven may just be what it needs to ignite their wrath. Anyway, they get out in a cooking accident to burn your kitchen into cinders! (On the good side, you can bind them to be your pets. :D)

Of course, I will not just add "another slime" to the game. They must be unique because they are on fire. Their life force is the fire. Thus, a fire extinguisher nearby will be handy to solve such cooking accidents. :)
As they are on fire, water, dirty water, and fire extinguishers all do damage to them while Molotovs and fire magic may heal them instead.
As they are on fire, even the most basic attack from them may light up their unfortunate victims.
As they are on fire, any attackers stupid enough to punch them without any protection may find themselves get burned.
As they are on fire, you may find everyone in a battle starts to burn within a few turns should a fire slime be around.
As they are on fire, it may be a good time to start a revolution in a place like Iran! (Oh, well, I failed to add any related content in the game. So, this is just a shoutout in the DD.)

That's for this week. Happy gardening, cooking, and burning things. :D
Starting from tomorrow, I will be on a secret mission that lasts for 7 days as mentioned the last week.
So far, I have no idea what that may be as my handler will send me a secret package with all the instructions only a few hours later.
I don't know what it may be. I don't know the scale of the mission.
The update may be slowed down or even skip a few days as I work on that.
But, one thing is certain, it's for the future of humanity and millions of people's life. :D
So, it certainly takes priority. We will see what happens next week.
