Grey Hack News

The nightly build is open to everyone featuring new hidden missions around the world, in addition to other secrets and more!

Note that the Nightly version is unstable, may contain game breaking bugs and the savegame can be deleted frequently. So It is not recommended for new players.

The nighly build is designed to help report bugs and provide feedback while the version is finished.
In this branch the updates will be frequent, of the order of several per week.

Important: Changing to the nightly build removes the savegame from the Single Player mode of the Public build and vice versa. Multiplayer mode progress is not deleted even if you switch from one build to another.

Visit the official Discord of the game for more information, support and the latest news from the nightly build.

[h3]Changelog[/h3]

- Added 16 hidden missions; 8 Hidden, 8 Karma, 2 reserved for white and black hats respectively. During the Nightly build more missions will be added.

- Renewed Mail program.

- Added option in Mail program to attach files.

- Bug fixes and general code improvements.

NOTES:

Hi people,
I'd like to update you on the latest news in the Nightly Build.

As I mentioned in the previous reports, this Nightly Build will feature new hidden missions around the world, in addition to other secrets, as well as the development of karma and the reputation of the player.

The system of direct missions, provided by hackshops, has also been completely rewritten to improve its stability and allow a greater variety in these missions.
New direct missions will be added that will only be available at different reputation levels, leaving the currently existing missions for the lower levels. The difficulty of the missions will increase according to their level, and may involve access to several different networks to complete them.

Besides the hackshops, the web pages of the police stations will also provide direct missions, where you can also report the crimes you have discovered in indirect missions while exploring the world, obtaining as a reward money and positive karma.

Unlike indirect missions (Hidden, Karma) that require the player to investigate and meet clues that lead him to the next step in the mission, direct missions require a specific objective for his resolution.

Speaking of other things, some secondary features have been added by popular request.



Now you can use your own wallpaper. You need to add the images you want in a folder on your real computer, preferably with a maximum size of 1920x1080 if you use a 16:9 monitor. Then in the game, from the Appearance application it will be enough to choose the image from the same dropdown where the game's default images are.

Also with the revamp of the email program, the possibility of attaching any type of file to emails has been included to be able to send them to other players.

The Nightly build will be publicly available in approximately 3 weeks. For debuggers, as usual, it will be available a few days before.

More news soon!
