#########Content#####################
New dialogue option for Weishaupt regarding the Foundation.
New item: Life Potion (Expired) It's a procedurally generated item sold in the "People's Hospital" to test the new item generator. It's cheap. But, it may randomly have side effects.
#########System#####################
The game will now remember where you drag-drop the mini-map window so that its position does not reset every time when the map is initialized.
It's also saved in the save files.
A standardized external item generator code structure has been set up. It may be useful for modding and make procedurally generate items easier. (To make things a bit optimized than the old system, I'm using a hash table instead of a normal array this time.)

新物品:生命药水(过期的) 用于测试新的物品生成框架用的东西,在“人民医院”有售。价格非常便宜,但是可能随机附带副作用。

系统现在会记住你拖动小地图窗口的坐标,小地图窗口现在会始终在你自定义的位置显示而非在每次地图载入后重置该窗口的位置。
同时,这个坐标也会被保存入存档中。
标准化的外置物品生成器代码结构设置完毕。可能对于MOD和制作动态生成物品有用。(为了效率优化的原因,本次使用了哈希表而非此前的数据结构的数组。)

DD# 28 The Illuminaughty

Hi there, it's weekly party time! OwO

Why so serious about saving the world? One day, it's going to end anyway.
So, how about we just laying around or start a pillow war and fill those pillows with cash?


Remember to get your best makeup before join, as you can now use any of the portraits you have!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Don't mind those cannon fodders with flashbangs. They are expendable stage effects.

Maybe we can also play some truth or dare.

I dare you to steal this guy's shirt. (It's added this week.) OwO

So, here we are.

This is ILLUMINAUGHTY! OwO

The generation gap is quite common all over the world.
The old generations sometimes can go quite conservative as they can never figure out what the younger generations are doing.
For example, can you believe, it's the year 2021, and one of the "government media" in China still calls games opium?
Well, I'm your friendly neighborhood drug dealer for today then. :D
The same can happen to a secret society such as the Illuminati.
When a certain senator is acting like an evil badass in the previous story. There is a teenage girl mess around him in his front base, complaining bad internet connection while he can do nothing about it. It is quite an irony.
No matter where you are, how cold-blood you pretend to be. I believe deep down in everyone's DNA it's everyone's natural instinct that wants to play games and have fun. (Don't mind me, if you are in one of the secret societies that manipulate people's DNA and removed that part. That's a crime.)

Thus, as the media in China is condemning the game once again, as the stock price of all game companies is falling apart, I am putting my money on the Perfect World right at this moment. It is the company behind Steam China. It is the company running DOTA2 and CS:GO here.

Yes, there are rumors about "Steam China" may get Steam banned in China.
Yes, the Perfect World messed up some good games like Torchlight just like EA does to those studios they acquired.
Yes, the Perfect World made some quite money-hunger mobile games just like Gameloft does.
People can have many reasons to hate that company.
But, not because some media calls games opium. Not because playing games is wrong especially in a nation that has the harshest game censorship in place already.
Thus, I am once again a shareholder of Perfect World to fight such injustice to everyone in this industry.
There are some deficits in my account right now. But, I don't think that can be a big problem. After all, It's one of the best game companies that can be bought in China with a relatively low P/E.
But, don't follow my steps. Just as the Nameless Captain says "If you don't have a heart of iron, you shall never participate in the A-Share Market of China." Maybe I will even meet him here once again. Who knows. It was a good time last year.

In addition to all those crazy younger generation madness.
There are...
More madness. :D

As the DLL of Time has been upgraded from the old 2013 version compiled with VC6. (Now with VS2019) Some functions are added on the C++ side.
It results in a utility item that can quickly calculate the days between two dates which may be helpful both in and out of the game.
For example, I am using it to calculate interests in lawsuits. (I am also an attorney if you don't already know.)
That seems also quite fit the Illuminaughty way of life.
Have fun and be rich. so that you will not think twice to buy this game. OwO

Today's Changelog:
#########Content#####################
New item: The Euclid Calendar (Sold in the Bazaar. An utility item that shows the days between two dates you set up. It likely has some usage even outside the game.)
Added some decoration in the Queensmouth Airport Control Station
The Strange Girl will now randomly walk around in the Queensmouth Airport Control Station after the first conversation.
Map modified in the Ardham Hotel. (A secret room is under construction.)
#########System#####################
Upgraded SAPCTIMER.dll to a much modern environment. (Last built was from 2013 made with the ancient VC6. The current build is made with VS2019 )
Added more functionalities to SAPCTIMER.dll such as calculating days between 2 dates.
Please let me know if it causes any problems. (In theory, there shall not be any dependency on any Microsoft libraries involved in this upgrade. But, I am unable to test that on all the operating systems.)
#########Debug#####################
Fixed a passage bug in the Queensmouth Airport Control Station
