Hey guys, got a few fun things this time around!
Most I needed to stay vague on (Spoilers for awards etc) so its a tad shorter, but i assure you its quite a bit of content lol.
Its funny that i've found myself doing polishing for so long, i guess I just needed to do a bit. The game is significantly better than it was even a few weeks ago :D
I do plan to do some gremlin reworking soon. To get back to actual faction balancing and content and such. As well as adding cult hideout upgrades for each cult and other stuff like that anyway, no more rambling!

As always what follows is a summary of all changes made this week to the game. Most of this was live as of last night!


-Added new Awards screen to extras menu, it only shows up after you have an award, clicking the button will bring you to the awards screen, which i will not show due to spoilerinos :P

--You can win awards for doing certain things, winning certain things etc.

--Think certificates from FNAF Pizzaria Simulator

--There are at least 3 of them...

--I''ll probably add proper steam achievements soon, so that should be cool
Here is a messed up version of the awards screen just so you know i'm not lying, you might be able to gleam something from that lol


-Added bounce animations when units are selected, so its easier to tell which unit is selected

--If a unit has action or movement points left they will bounce up and down with the same ferocity as an industrial rock crusher

--If they do not they will still bounce, but much slower and not as high


-Added auto vigil, which means that when you end your turn, if your unit hasn't been put into vigil mode (shield icon button) and they have left over action points they are automaticlaly put into vigil mode. Many people suggested this and it should make things easier for newbies.


--You can toggle this off in the options menu if you want some extra challenge, the ai does it already so.

-Added special signs to Renovations, High ground and some other scenarios!

-If you play a certain mission too long, some fun things happen hehehe

-More secretty terminal commands

-Added 17 more loading screen hints.


-Neural net updates

-Added support for turn amount condititions to triggers, eg winning after x amount of turns

-Added new news clipping (need to add a few more)


-Fixed bug with third poster in office where it wouldnt show up ever

-Fixed an absurd bug where you couldn't click on a unit if your mouse happened to also be on any part of the healthbar display. Which annoyed me so much, i'm probably going to heavily drink tonight. Thanks Unity!

-I thought I had fixed this already, but now for sure, I am very sure, the bug where if you win a night in the office without leaving the terminal and the next day popup wouldnt happen is defintely now FIXED.

-Fixed bug where even after winning day encounters were still active.


-Made monsters in office less stealthy, made random noises from them play less often

--Now it generally mostly happens only when the stage changes

-Made Squid Boi much less stealthy


-It should play smoother in general due to the auto vigil change and the health bar bug fix

Hey guys! Before I get into it, if you havent reviewed DR4X on steam yet please do! Steam depiroritizes games in suggestions until they have 10 positive reviews. So please do that if you can!

This week, i made more QOL changes and added some important secret content. As well as some fun things like snow particle effects.

As always what follows is a summary of all changes made this week to the game. Most of this was live as of last night!


-Some very important additions to the gameplay, they are very rare and secret but very important to the story

-Added New Art for the new secrets

-Added snow particle effect to snowy mountains


-Added toggle to options menu for disabling and enabling terrain particle effects

-Change PastaInterval to be able to allow turn amounts between 3 and 7

-Important Realmchild and Nywar Thweethu changes

-Made sign text display in unit info screen on the main tab so you can click them and read what they say right there instead of having to go to the info tab to see what signs say. This should smooth over the scenario missions a tad.


-Made it so tutorial messages that aren't "Independant has joined" now don't pop up a second time if you play the missions multiple times, this was suggested by a person on my discord (Join my discord by the way guys!)

-Added tutorial popup reset button to options (For those who want to see the tutorial messages again or for, say introducing the game in a youtube video.)


-Added very important hint artist requested, which is necessary to solve some puzzles

-Moved go to map screen and begin scenario so they don't block the text on briefing screen


-More Realmchild stuff, sorry for being vague but its necessary lol

-Added dust particle effect to your office

-Gave sign a temp unit portrait

-Added some signs to Lawlessness scenario which are I suppose important

-MOAR hints

--lots of em

--Also reworded some hints

-Sometimes He Appears

--Oh dont mind who he is, you will learn soon enough.

-Increased probability of special spookiness

--Also apparently alliteration

-Reworded some previously existing sign text to be grammaticlaly correct


-Make tile highlight not override advantage/disadvantage/neutral colors when attacking with a selected unit or building

-I think I fixed some cases of the bug where the highlight stayed on things even after you were no longer highlighting them (but it still happens sometimes)

-Command noises are now properly affected by volume settings

-Made weird error message disable going to about page on kings sea minigame

-Made it so leaves and other particle effects like that are only enabled when fog of war cleared (they were always active before lol, this should speed the game up for some)

-Gui controller now handles reversed sounds peoperly.

-Fixed an oversight when mousing over an enemy unit with a unit selected that has advantage, disadvantage or neutral on an enemy unit where it would highlight the tile the players color (which could match one of these colors) when they mouse over it, instead of maintaining the proper attack color, this is now fixed, stratedgy should be less confused now.


-None this time, mostly focused on QOL this week


-I dunno, review game plz
