DD#229 The Horrors in the Tunnels
[p]Hi, everyone. Welcome to another great week.
[/p][p]Many amazing things have happened this week.[/p][p]Such as:[/p][p]1, Stellar Blade was released, and everyone loves it. Even many people who do not usually play action games still purchase it as it has become a symbol of anti-DEI and anti-Woke. You can find it in the reviews. It's a good thing for this whole industry. It's clear what kind of games people really like.[/p][p][/p][p]2. My investments in all those good games or game-related companies continue to grow, providing more development funds for the game. As it has often been said, go woke, go broke. The other way is also accurate. Be on the right side of history, be rich![/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]3. The events happening in this world continue to align with what I have envisioned. I am not going to tell you more details on this right now, but maybe they will be part of the game's story in the future. Everything is awesome![/p][p][/p][p]Now, let's go down to this week's content updates.[/p][p]Unfortunately, the colonel will need to wait a bit before officially appearing in the game.[/p][p]Because, I am working on the tunnels underneath the Dana Shelter this week.[/p][p]It would be quite boring if they were just some old tunnels.[/p][p]Thus, let's do some rule-based horror here instead.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]That means many different mechanisms and anomalies are down here in those tunnels.[/p][p]Here are some examples:[/p][p][/p][p]It will get colder if you stay in the tunnel for too long.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]You may hear some babies crying. But it may not be a good idea to investigate further.[/p][p]![]()
![]()
[/p][p]Those are new shade entities. They can emit "horrible baby cry," which is a new skill such entities have.[/p][p]You can try to avoid them if you don't want to shoot them even after they have turned.[/p][p]You can also use their cry as an alarm that indicates they are nearby.[/p][p]They also appear in random locations with a shade entity theme if you travel with the Wonderland Travel Agency.[/p][p][/p][p]Many of those anomalies may have more reasonable explanations, especially if you have read some Foundation files.[/p][p]However, there is always something you cannot reason with.[/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]It's better to explore this location on your own to experience all the horrors.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]But why do people still go down there?[/p][p]Well, that's because the shelter's heating system is broken. Periodically, people need to go down there to do maintenance work to patch up gas leaks.[/p][p]Thus, you will receive new repeatable quests.[/p][p]Given the horrors that lurk down there, a complete repair of those tunnels is unrealistic at this moment. Thus, the old duct tape solution is the only way to keep things going in this shelter. Yes, those mighty duct tapes are now officially items you can get in the game. When you accept those maintenance quests, you will receive 5. Many enemies now also drop duct tape. Some vendors also sell duct tape. There is even crafting blueprints for duct tape. You can get that by looting certain enemies, or there is a copy in the heating room.[/p][p]The quest reflects another layer of the struggle of those survivors.[/p][p]To many, life is a battlefield. Every day, many endure hardships in their story, just like those survivors must keep going down those tunnels to patch broken pipes.[/p][p]But don't forget to celebrate each time you achieve a victory![/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]"One must imagine Sisyphus happy" --- Camus[/p][p][/p][p]That covers most of this week's main game's content updates.[/p][p]But I shall also give you something for the upcoming DLC:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Backup link for people who have no YouTube access: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1WnMTzhEq3/[/p][p][/p][p]Changing outfits is not enough.[/p][p]We shall now also have slides![/p][p]Especially, those "booby slides" that people love so much![/p][p]As I said two weeks ago in DD#227[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Many of us, Asian game developers, were deceived by some DEI people who told us Western players do not like such things. In truth, we all love this. This is universal. The success of Stellar Blade is also proof of this. Thus, we shall have this at least in the next DLC of this game. [/p][p][/p][p]OK, before I end this week's developer's diary.[/p][p]One more thing, as mentioned previously, I have some of my duties as a lawyer to work on a law case in Qingdao a few days later. During this period of time, I will be away from my development machines. Thus, there will be no updates on June 15th (confirmed), June 16th (very likely), and June 17th (likely)[/p][p]There will be no main game updates, DLC progress, or daily news of the Ukrainian front.[/p][p]Everything shall return to normal no later than the 18th if everything goes according to plan.[/p][p]This is the first step of a multi-stage lawsuit. Another trip later is also very likely, but there is no confirmed date for that part right now.[/p][p]Just like the stock market funds the game, the lawyer's job also provides certain privileges. But, unfortunately, sometimes, they interrupt the game update schedules. A price to pay to stay in power.[/p][p][/p][p]Alright, that's all. Thank you for reading. Have a nice day! :D[/p][p][/p][p]The full update log of this week:[/p][p]20250607[/p][p]English[/p][p]##########Content################[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]Map Expanded[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]This area now uses the flashlight effect and it's darker.[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]This area now have some rats randomly appear.[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]Under certain conditions, shade creatures may also appear in this area.[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]Changed the background music in this area.[/p][p]简体中文[/p][p]##########Content################[/p][p]【达那避难所地下一层】地图扩展[/p][p]【达那避难所地下一层】加入了手电筒效果。[/p][p]【达那避难所地下一层】老鼠会在这个区域出现。[/p][p]【达那避难所地下一层】在特定情况下，这里也会出现暗影生物。[/p][p]【达那避难所地下一层】改变了这个区域的背景音乐。[/p][p]20250608[/p][p]English[/p][p]##########Content################[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]Added a new document near the entrance of this area.[/p][p]\[Dana Shelter Underground Level 1]Implemented Rule 1.
