[Neolithic]To the End News

Update, Version 20220829


English
##########Content############
[The Commodity Market]The Shady Dealers now sell poisonous daggers. (A bit higher price, a bit lower quality, compared to those you can get from random drops of enemies.)
[Items]Shortened the description text for special attribution that increase special statue success chance in English.
[The Unfinished Building]The hardhat from Shiro may now have prefixes. (The chance is based on how many people you convinced to seek this angel's "salvation." The number resets every time you get a hardhat.)
[The Unfinished Building]If you have convinced more than 20 people before talking to Shiro to get another hardhat, it's guaranteed you will have a hardhat that has an additional prefix. (It's not required. It's just a guarantee in case someone is really unlucky.)
[Queensmouth]New location: Abandoned Mine. (It only exists in the current timeline.)
简体中文
##########Content############
【小商品市场】可疑的商人现在贩卖淬毒的匕首。(相对于从敌人身上掉落的版本,价格略高,质量略低。)
【物品】在英文本地化中缩短了物品上增加状态成功率的特殊属性的描述文本的长度。
【未完之建筑】烯罗给你的安全帽现在可以带有各种词缀。(概率取决于你为他说服的,前来寻找【救赎】的市民数量。该数值会在每次你获得一个安全帽之后重置。)
【未完之建筑】在你和烯罗对话并获得一个新的安全帽前如果说服了至少20人,那么将会确保获得的安全帽肯定带有一个额外的词缀。(并不是必要的。只是对于特别脸黑的同学们的保底措施。)
【王后镇】新地点:废弃矿洞。(只存在于当前时间线。)

When Trump uses the "Never Give Up!" skill on a fallen team member during a battle, he now says a related line from one of his speeches. (Existing Trump from the previous version will need to be removed from the group and rejoin to get this effect.)
##########System#############
A bit of optimization on the end-battle result window. When a battle is concluded, enemy character graphics will now no longer be updated on every frame.
The graphics update for the player group members and the enemies are now in different phases during the battle. (It's good for profiling and we can now temporarily turn off the enemy graphics update if necessary.)

加入了这些物品的通用物品生成模板:帽子、匕首、十字镐。(均可带有前缀。)
对上述物品加入了一些新的图标。

##########System#############
对战斗结果界面略微优化。现在当战斗结束后,敌人角色的图像不会再每帧更新。
在战斗中对玩家一方的团队成员的图像刷新和对敌人角色的图像刷新现在会在不同的阶段进行。(有助于做性能分析,并且还能在必要时关掉敌人的角色图像刷新。)

DD#84 A Bizarre Story in Our Time about Modern Politics

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

This week's main focus is to fill in the content of one of our biggest side quests "Wrong Side of the History." As I mentioned long ago, we will have Donald Trump appear in the game. However, because of ongoing events happening globally, the plan and the story about this quest got rewritten at least three times until now. Now, it's finally implemented. A bit less serious, a bit crazier than originally planned.

It's likely a story that can offend many people.
First,

It's likely going to offend China, China, and China. :D

Plus, it's not just Trump that's going to make fun with China. The story contains even more political figures that you may find references in real life to add insult to the wound.

Just you know, I'm Chinese. Life here can sometimes feel like dark humor. It will be wasteful if I don't make fun of it. That kinda helps to maintain my sanity. :)

Anyway, we get a group of self-claimed true patriots who work quite hard to bring Trump back ever since the January 6 United States Capitol Attack which will be mentioned during the story.


Under great zealous, passion, and motivation to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,
with some science, some magic, and some...

memes,

Trump is back! And he is more than 20 years younger!


I'm not going to give you a god emperor or a crown.
Trump in our game shall be more like a human being.
With some good parts,

(As a game developer that developed this game for more than 18 years, I respect the man who delivered this speech.)
And some bad parts,

(Even being called a Trump supporter, there are many things I cannot agree with him.)

The world is not just black and white.
Some like him, some hate him. But, he may have changed the course of human history forever.

It's a memory that we shall remember.

But, now, it's time to move into the future.
At the end of the current story of this quest, you will have the chance to recruit Trump as a playable teammate. It will be up to you to decide where this journey goes.
That's the conclusion of the "Wrong Side of the History" in our current game world.
The story will continue after the world expands to cover more areas.

A full walkthrough with spoilers has been updated to Wiki: https://neolithia.fandom.com/wiki/Quest:_Wrong_Side_of_History
There are more twists than this DD can contain as the DD itself cannot spoil too much.
Instead, maybe you will have to play the game to find out the truth about this "Trump."
At the end of the story, things start to get a bit more serious especially when you discover what a former CIA director's plan may be.

That's for this week. We live in a funny uncertain time.


Today's change log:
##########Content############
[Wrong Side of the History]The story continues.
New recruitable team member: Trump
New skill: MAGA!
New skill modifier on Trump: Never Give Up! (It modifies the "Resurrect" skill into something new.)
##########System#############
Unified the non-pet teammate's control when they join the group. It shall check if they need to be initialized there.
##########DEBUG##############
Fixed bugs that cause skill modifiers not reflect modified skill MP cost and descriptions in windows.

Update, Version 20220825
