Solving the puzzle

What’s up Dealers?

We must say, you honestly amazed us with the sheer speed you’ve solved our puzzle! 24 minutes! We’re so stoked to get such a great response 😀
But what was it all about? Well, let us explain.

We wanted to make 4/20 feel a bit different and special so we’ve come up with an idea for a puzzle containing some little spoilers for DDS2.

[h2]How does the puzzle work?[/h2]

Both the grid and the video are strongly connected. One can’t work without the other. Have you ever played Battleships? Or chess? It’s like that! Combining a letter and a number on both top and the side of the grid points you to the right tile.

After writing it all down you get a link to the google drive that contains a zip file protected by a password (remember Dope420? That’s the password) containing a secret message!


[h2]And when you finally reached the intercepted phone call between Eddie and Rafal, what does it all mean exactly?

Well, like with every gang ever, reputation is a key to survival and prosperity. And DDS2 will feature a mechanic where you can buy your way into people’s good graces, Escobar style. Feed the poor, build new bus stops, stuff like that. It will earn you the love of the local community.

Will you be the pillar of the community? *wink wink*

Keep this, it’s important

More questions answered! Q&A part 2

For those of you who might have missed it – we have coop!

It’s huge news, so let’s hear Big Boss talk about it once again.

We’ve collected your questions and already answered half of them in the previous post. And now, ready for MORE INFO? Let’s dive in! (Also psst, check the end of the post too)

Q: Can we get more voiceovers for NPCs?
A: As DDS2 has a much higher budget, yes, there will be more voiceovers and overall a much, much more alive environment overall.

Q: If I am not a host of the session, when I leave the game, what progress will I have saved?
A: You will save over your individual character progress as well as host-relative cartel progress. You'll be able to transfer character progress between cartels if the cartel owner allows it.

The exact specifics are still in development and tweaking tho.

Q: Can you create a server so if the original host is not playing, the other friend can play?
A: Yes, we are working on delivering a maximally flexible solution. We will give more details on that later.

Q: Will we have vehicles (like cars or boats)?
A: Yes, there are cars and boats in the game. It is not a fully fletched free driving system like GTA or so, but you'll need a vehicle to travel around the island as it is a significantly larger world than DDS1. The vehicles use roads, rivers and the open sea to travel between towns and villages.

You'll use them for far travel, smuggling items and dope or exfiling from locations when it gets hot. More on that later

Q: Are there any plans for expanding upon mixing/lab work? Anything from acquiring a product to processing it further than what exists in DDS1?
A: The lab and hideout system and drug logistics/production/processing are significantly improved in comparison to DDS1. You will have control over the complexity of your production, stimulate drug demand and obtain products and various chemicals and ingredients in various ways.

That includes multiple-step production, processing, buying, smuggling and stealing. You will be able to decide on the strategy, complexity and variety of your offer and choose from ways of acquiring products that fit your cartel’s financial expectations.

Q: Can you wholesale your drugs?
A: Yes, there will be mid and late-game wholesale buyers, but you also hire NPCs to your hierarchy to deal with the low-level distribution so you can focus on the higher scale of the entire operation.

Q: Will there be shops to buy stuff like in the first game or do you have to find it (bags, additives etc.)?
A: Yes there are multiple shops and NPCs to buy things from, but also many other ways of acquiring items and chemicals like looting, stealing, crafting and environment exploration.

Q: Can I cook meth in DDS2 by myself?
A: Yes, Walter. Yes, you can.

Q: Will there be a deep water culture?
A: We haven't planned DWC but might include it. There are a few ways for weed farming planned with different types of equipment and setups.

Q: Can you add more floors to the apartments? Can we use an elevator?
A: Yes, the apartments will have much more variety in size, floors as well as being indoor, outdoor or mixed. More on that later.

Q: Will there be a favela on the island? If yes, will you be able to take it over?
A: Yes, there are different types of towns and villages on the island, including favelas. Not sure what you mean by "take over" but you will surely grow your influence in the towns.

Q: What about bribing the police and making deals with other cartels?
A: There will be bribing of NPCs, including the police. There are also other criminal organisations in the game, but we'll share more about that later.

Q: Will there be Steam Workshop?
A: We are not planning workshop or mod support for now, but planning to include tools and settings to customise the gameplay to your liking.

Q: Will there be voiceovers in different languages?
A: The NPCs in the world will use different languages, but assuming you are asking about game localization - unfortunately not. Only UI + subtitles will have translations.
