DD#134 Additional Features to Special Playstyles

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

This week's updates bring additional features to several play styles.
Here is a list of the changes:
For a shade-influenced character, if your group's shade corruption level is high enough, certain shade creatures will no longer attack you. However, on the other hand, you may still choose to attack them. This is automatic and passive. You do not need to spend additional resources to acquire this perk. The dark figure in the Bazaar may provide you with more information regarding this.

For a character who trades souls with a certain demon, you now have an additional pact that can summon a Gunsmith from Hell to provide you with some fire-related gun components. You can summon them at almost any location. Thus, that shall also allow you to resupply your ammunition in case you run out. For more creative usage, you may use them to block the path of your enemies.

For a character who prefers to use firearms, RPGs can now be modified with additional components you find.


For Baldur's Gate 3 players who saw a lot of tentacles and certain secret cultists who are waiting for the stars to be in the right places, we now have a new belief:

You can gain additional power at the cost of your sanity. You can bring fear to your enemies. If that's not tempting enough, at least, it can also improve your fishing skills. :)
It's unlocked by reading a Lovecraft book that you may find in the Grand Library or given by someone in the dock area of Marinas.
We also get another faith tenet known as "The Sea Will Consume Us All." This new tenant can work with other doomsayer tenets and beliefs to make it more scary when you pray to reveal a vision of doom upon your enemies.

For players who enjoy cheating and use the console command to mess around, more pet data has been added to the pet box.

For players who enjoy randomly generated maps. More enemy types now have a chance to appear.

In addition to the features mentioned above, we also have some other updates related to the further development of Marinas areas. The main story continues in the Marinas Station. New music has been added in the dock area. You may also find something sinister in the hospital.

That basically covers all the content updates. However, we also have an update about our planned price change in September. Although I planned to not change the price in Ukraine until the war ends, Valve updated their price policy to make me have to increase the price a bit as well.
For more details, please check the previous announcement here:
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1519140/view/3682308808795667954
Valve's price policy change may also dramatically affect some other regions. The impact on Turkey and Argentina regions may be greater than previously predicted.
Here is what I'm going to do. To compensate for this inevitable price increase, a sale will take place on August 28th or 29th, depending on your time zone. It will last 168 hours. Shortly after that, the price of the game will increase in all regions as we finished Chapter Two of the game.

So, I think that's it for this week. I hope you enjoy those new features. :)

[Emergency]Valve Is Forcing Me to Increase the Price in Ukraine.

Since last year, shortly after Putin started his barbarian invasion of Ukraine, I have changed the price in the Ukraine region as low as possible. And I have been trying to keep it as low as possible since then.


However, today Valve announced their updated policy on pricing.
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3700310527377680732


Basically, they require me to increase the price in the Ukraine region from UAH20 to UAH26 in accordance with their new minimums price policy.
https://partner.steamgames.com/pricing/minimums

Previously, I mentioned I will try to keep the price in Ukraine unchanged all the way till the war ends. But, Valve's new policy is now making that impossible. I'll have to comply with that in our scheduled price increase in September.

I am very sorry. It's not something that I can control. But, I will continue to support Ukraine in other ways that I still can for as long as it takes.
For example, the free demo version with almost all the major content of the game will still be available all the way till the war ends. (Unless Valve decides to change their policy about demos as well.)

Please don't blame Valve. I don't think they changed their policy just to undermine my efforts to support Ukraine.

Слава Украине!


自去年开始,普京发动对乌克兰的入侵以后不久,我就把游戏在乌克兰地区的价格降低到了Steam所允许的极低的价格。并一直保持如此。

但是,今天G胖宣布了提高对低价区价格的要求
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3700310527377680732
基本上,他们要求我必须把乌克兰地区的售价从20提高到26从而满足他们的最低售价政策。
https://partner.steamgames.com/pricing/minimums

此前,我提到会保持乌克兰地区的低价直到战争结束。但是,G胖的新正常导致那无法延续。所以,在9月份的游戏计划涨价时,我必须把游戏在乌克兰区的定价更新到G胖最新的最低定价。

对此,我非常遗憾。这是属于我目前无法控制的情况。但是,在那些我依然能够掌控的地方,我依然会保持全面对乌克兰的支持,直到这场战争的终点。
比如:Steam上那个包括了游戏基本上所有主要内容的Demo版本,会在战争结束前一直存在。(除非G胖又整出什么针对Demo的政策变化。)

当然,请勿责怪G胖,他应该不是为了针对我对乌克兰的支持而改变政策的。

Слава Украине!
