#########Content#####################
New game mechanic: Headshot! (You can now headshot enemies in FPS mode by aim and shot at their heads if they have one. It can cause massive damage, penetrating armors that a normal gunshot cannot.)
Added 65 characters' head information in PNG format, easily moddable. (If you want to cheat, check "sp\MOD\Graphics\Battlers" folder and paint all the headshot information images red.)
It's also quite easy to add the head information to those enemies I didn't add, following the naming conversion. (For example, you can define the head of a tree if you want.)
#########System#####################
Slowed down all target's moving speed in FPS mode.
Optimized the booby trap's detection algorithm to use event coordinate cache so that a few dozens of booby traps a player planted will not cause too many lags.

新游戏机制:爆头! (你现在可以在第一人称射击模式下通过瞄准敌人的头部射击造成爆头,这将导致大幅的伤害奖励提升,甚至对某些有较高子弹抗性的敌人造成穿透其护甲造成伤害的效果。)
加入了65种角色的头部信息保存于PNG文件中,可以被轻易修改或用于制作MOD。(如果你想作弊的话可以将位于"sp\MOD\Graphics\Battlers" 文件夹下的这些图片全部涂成红色。)
同时,依据命名规则你可以轻易加入我没有加入头部信息的角色的头部信息。(比如你可以定义一棵树什么位置是头部。)
#########System#####################
所有敌人在第一人称射击模式下的移动速度降低。
优化了诡雷的碰撞检测算法,使用了事件坐标缓存,现在在同一张地图上存在几十个玩家部署的诡雷也不会造成太大的延迟了。

DD# 35 The Dark Side of Moon.

Welcome! I hope everyone had a nice Moon Festival.
It's another Friday night. That means another developer's diary is here.

When the Illuminati is bleeding itself in popular culture to hide their agendas, putting their logos everywhere, another secret society that is directly involved in the incident of Queensmouth also found its way to hide in plain sight.

The Foundation.

When mentioning the name of this organization, people may think of some science fiction novels or SCP, that effectively makes this Foundation off the radar when people get direct away from them by misinformation. It's just like the moon. You can see it in the sky. But, you can almost never see its dark side from the earth.

In this week's update, with the right key to the right location, you can find one of their sites located right inside Queensmouth. Although it's not SCP Foundation, unfortunately, it also has its own containment branch thanks to all the current events in Queensmouth. As the Foundation discovered a certain threat earlier than other organizations, they are working on their own projects to counter it except things went wrong.

Base on the site's name, it does not take much genius to discover this is one of the problems:

Do the dwellers of night howl at the moon or does a black moon itself howl?

This is just part of the story we can see from the surface for now. With the sadistic prefix added onto weapons and combat robot modules this week, we may go even deeper into the sorrow underneath this facility till a secret is uncovered and her story is told.

The description in this DD is vague as the story updates of this week may easily be spoiled if not careful.
But, please feel free to take a bite to see it by yourself.


That's for this week.

Next Friday, we will participate in the "Steam Next Fest."
However, there will be no active marketing efforts to be made as I'd rather spend time in development.
The life cycle of the game's update will be extreme compared to many other games while a fest is merely a glimpse. Even it may bring some good marketing numbers in the short term if I redirect my weekly update efforts onto it, I don't think it will matter too much in the long run. Meanwhile, a game about a secret world doing some additional marketing can be quite an irony. Thus, I'd enjoy the peace and solitude on the dark side of the moon.
