Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.
As mentioned previously, I was hospitalized because of a new strain of COVID. It started with fevers, and half of the tests failed to detect it. It wasn't one week later, that the doctors finally got some conclusive results to prove it may be a new type of COVID. The good news is, I am an indie game developer with little to none social life even during the Lunar New Year. Otherwise, I'm not sure how many people I would have infected if I had run around before getting admitted to the hospital ward. The doctors originally planned to keep me there for 2 weeks because this new COVID-2024 is nothing like they had seen before. During the first 4 days in the hospital, I went through all kinds of tests they considered necessary. Of course, I also received the best medicine they could provide just to suppress the symptoms. However, a two-week-long vacation is simply not something suitable for me. There are still a lot of things to be added to the game. Thus, I came out of the hospital a bit earlier ignoring the warnings of the doctors right after all test results of COVID went back negative. Although, there are some symptoms still remain, such as fatigue and having some trouble breathing, I think I can work with that. Thus, the game's update was somewhat restored a few days ago. It may still take some time for me to fully recover. But, we are getting there. After the game's update back to full production, the restoration of anything additional such as the war support to Ukraine shall follow. It's the first time COVID ever caused any direct trouble to the game's update. May it be a mere footnote in our eternal evolution.
Of course, you are not here to just see me battling COVID behind the scenes. So, let's go down to what happened during this week's short updates.
The story of the Dark Elf King continues. We now reached his Throne Room. It may still take some time to put an end to this. But, if you have previously collected the rings of his four knights. It may be a time to collect an ultimate reward for your effort. It's another relic from 2004, re-purposed to be something for our current story. But, there is no need to worry if you were not part of that old story 20 years ago. The whole story of the Dark Elf King will shed some light on what happened back then. It's an epic story as 20 years have passed in real life and the story develops in almost real-time.
An Army of Trees at Your Disposal Thanks to Dagarond's suggestion on the forum. We can now bind trees to be our pets, too. That feels weird as it certainly takes some magical efforts to move those trees around as pets. Yet, it can be fun to see those trees stand there to tank enemy attacks. In most cases, they are likely quite harmless as the skills they can learn are quite limited. However, they, too can equip firearms and suddenly start to shoot your enemies or cast some devastating spells from nowhere. It will all depend on your creativity on how to best use them in your team. The supernatural world does not always need to make sense. Sometimes, it just makes meme materials. :P
New Procedurally Generated Quests in Queensmouth A new type of procedurally generated quests has been added in Queensmouth. Basically, it requires you to snipe some named zombies. To provide a bit of unique feelings on each of those zombies, a name generator has also been added. The quest itself may come with different narratives. Such as a zombie becomes a threat to survivors so that survivors want you to hunt it down, or some survivors feel it's heartbroken to see their previous friends wandering around among the undead so that they ask you to put them out of their misery. Yet, the goal remains the same. It may provide additional activities for you in Queensmouth areas. It can also be used to improve your relationship with local survivors in addition to getting some extra money as a reward in each such type of mission.
Technical Rewrite on Customized Skills I also took some time to rewrite some infrastructures of the code during this week to solve a problem. The problem is the game's structure is way too free from a data storage point of view. We have endless procedurally generated items. We now also can have endless customized skills as the spell fusion system kicks in. Thus, garbage collection is necessary to make sure the memory will not eventually explode. However, it provides unique challenges once again because of the level of freedom of the game. The question comes to how we do the garbage collection. We cannot just check if a skill is currently attached to a character in our database. Because we allow cross-save character exporting/importing in the mercenary system. We can also drop pets everywhere, especially in the pocket dimension. Thus, we cannot just go around to mark those skills to be removed just because currently nobody has them. Those skills may still be somewhere even in an external mercenary file. Consequently, a garbage collection system in the traditional sense cannot work. So, what can be a good solution? Here is one. What if I do it in the way of a database? What if skills or items can be garbage collected and destroyed, but, they have data that can restore them afterward? And that's the direction I took. We now have data to restore the skills attached to each character themselves. That way, we can now even transform customized skills through character export/import. For example, you can export a character in our mercenary system with customized skills from the spell fusion system. The characters will have code attached to them that knows how to generate those customized skills. After importing the character, the game system had no idea what those customized skills were. However, it will start to execute code on those characters that restore those skills. Consequently, we now have even more freedom in all our related systems. You can now have a full set of powerful customized characters with their customized skills imported as mercenaries to aid you in your journey. Have fun! :)
Some other small changes include new craft recipes for Baseball Bats and Brass Knuckles, some reworks of zombie enemies in Queensmouth, and some bug fixes.
That's for this week. COVID-2024 cannot kill the updates. I just need to make more effort to overcome its symptoms.
One more thing: RPG MAKER XP is currently 100% off on Steam. It can serve as a map editor for our game. Our game fully supports map export/import with RPG MAKER XP. Thus, it may be a good idea to grab it. :)

DD#158 The Spell Fusion and the F.F.F Dan
Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary. This is not the most productive week as I mentioned earlier because I got infected by some unknown bacterial that the doctors haven't figured out yet. So, the update is slowed down even now.
But, we still have one big feature and something else for this week.
The biggest new feature of this week is the spell fusion. Even though this is not Magicka, you can now create your own spell from some basic elemental spells by fusion them together. More details can be found in an in-game document and the game's wiki page. I'll just copy-paste here:
The process of spell fusion is to merge multiple elemental spells and create something new. The first spell selected is the main spell, it determines some major attributions of the spell you are about to create, including the affected area, icons, and the main element. The other spells you selected are the secondary spells. They will add their elemental attributions, animations, and damage or healing effects on the main spell. However, things are not just that easy. To fuse spells, one needs to have some elemental proficiency to begin with. More complex spells require higher elemental proficiency. The spell you created may also require a lot of MP to cost. You may find ways such as improving your elemental proficiency or finding a helper to migrate those drawbacks of the Spell Fusion. Some fusion spells may have unexpected results.
Currently, the function exists mostly in the Mages Guide, you can use their Alters of Books to fuse spells. The Alters of Books are also purchasable furniture. Thus, you can also buy one and use it elsewhere. In addition to that, you can also find someone to help you bypass the elemental proficiency limitation required to fuse a spell for a fee. That's one of the main income of the Mages Guild.
Some related changes are also been made. For example: we got two more earth spells you can learn from the mages in the Guild. Adobe means, well, just adobe. Thus, it's an earth spell. But, in this supernatural world, popular culture matters. Thus, its power is scaled by a user's 3D modeling skills. Another thing is, that you can now find it's much easier to level up your elemental proficiency early on so that this system is not too far away from the reach of your use. Of course, it will continue to improve in future updates.
Now, let's go to the "something else" parts of the diary. The first one is the coming of the F.F.F. Dan. What can be something great to add to the game if there needs to be something that can enhance spells and be ready for the upcoming Valentine's Day? We already have merchants selling love gifts from the past years. So, how about we do something opposite? So, here comes the new F.F.F. Extremism tenet: You can find their fliers from enemies' loot or trash bins to unlock this tenet. It was originally a real-life organization to punish unfaithful lovers. However, with popular culture development in East Asia. They are now more and more pictured as a parody organization that looks similar to the infamous K.K.K. But, they do not burn people of specific races. They just want to burn people who are in love equally. So, by adding this tenet to your customized belief, you may gain a boost for your fire spells. However, this is also the first tenet that defines actions that will damage your devotion, you are softly discouraged from taking certain actions. Previously, I planned to let them have more presents in the game. However, as the reasons I mentioned above. I am currently unable to add all the planned content this week.
Some other small updates are: You can now turn corpses into fertilizers in smelters. And the Creepy Dolls get a functionality description to let people know better of their usages.
That's for this week. I am still battling the infection. Hopefully, that's not the start of a new pandemic. :P

Developer’s Diary Delayed. No Update Today.
Hi, everyone. I just came back from the hospital. The doctors say my recent fever is caused by an infection of an unknown bacterial. Hopefully, that's not the start of a new pandemic. :) They also advise me to take more rest. (They don't actually need to, the medicines are already making me very sleepy.) So, hopefully, I will return after taking some sleep.
Before I go, I am still updating the latest news from Ukraine to our players in China, bypassing the censorship. 当然，在我去睡觉前，小剧场的更新依然在保持。 Latest news from Ukraine/乌克兰小剧场： https://pastelink.net/t7yitvos https://controlc.com/b87a2de1
