This year's final update (November 28th)
Well, let’s sum up this year (there’s still entire month of it left, but whatever):
- Player’s movement speed has been increased. Somehow, we got hooked on this dynamic battle royale recently and it made us realise that the character is moving at a speed of battle truck being pushed by a baby.
- Automatic jaw opening has been improved. Non-automatic jaw opening has been improved using manual labour, so meticulously and diligently, that it will be mentioned later.
- Infections’ growing effect has been improved. Yes, they do grow, did anyone actually notice? What a thankless job…
- Wife’s general animations have been improved. Seriously, I have no idea what kind of animations they are, but since animators say they’ve fixed them, we have no other choice but believe them.
- “Brobdingnagian” bug in cyber-world has been fixed.
- Wife’s other animations were improved. Hmmm…wait. What’s the difference? Why are some animation general and others are not? Fellow animators, I demand for explanation!
- Chapter 6. AI could occasionally lose her voice, but it is now fixed. Well, you do need to hear her “sweet” instructions to really enjoy the game, don’t you?
We remind you that winter is close (it may already be standing behind your back) and Protocol is the best way to get warm on a cold winter’s night. There is nothing as warming as your a** burning after another nuclear explosion scene.
It is also Christmas and New Year time coming. So don’t forget to bring joy and take care of your family and loved ones.
Slowpoke update (November 21st)
Actually, this update was supposed to be out in time for Halloween, but something went wrong…
So, what’s changed?
- We did fix the game crash. We really wanted to fix it very quickly, but quickly realised it won’t be quick. So we had to do it slowly (since it was the only way), but we have tried hard.
- Slightly improved shooter part. It’s barely noticeable, but it’s there. But balance is important while shooting.
- Some of AI animations has been improved. Some weren’t, but they will be. Promise.
- Incorrect behavior of malfunctioning patrol drones was fixed. They still malfunction, but they do it properly now, the way they were supposed to.
- AI in the complex watches you closely and even better now. Remember, Big Brother does not sleep.
- Mysterious content of 68 Mb was added. Look for it in bug-tracker.
Actually, it is a small goodbye gift from our game designer, who is leaving our ranks. To be honest, I am the one writing this post…
So I want to thank all the players, who liked our game, and those, who did not like it, even those, who hated it. If it wasn’t for you (even you, our dearest hater from comments), your reaction, we would have never known if we are making something worthwhile. Maybe this game does not have a huge fan base, but me, and, I am sure, our entire team are sincerely grateful to every one of you, because it means it wasn’t for nothing. We did hold your attention, you didn’t stay indifferent and we triggered emotions in you (but, actually, f*** those emotions, my a** is on fire, motherf***ing b**ch!).
It was a thorny path of many violations, bad mechanics and plenty of bugs, but we are glad that it didn’t go unnoticed.
Remember, do not violate the Protocol. Have a nice day!
P.S. Fair Games Team, you are breathtaking!
MicroFix (November 7th)
Some minor updates before upcoming "big" (well, actually, in fact, probably not so big) update.
Let's go:
- DOORS OPEN FASTER! Number of objects knocked out hands decreased exactly by half.
- New save points added. BUT! Not as many as we would like. More save points in next update. Sorry about it and stay tuned! :(
- Gamepad support is almost fully functional. We do have two left hands and could not do it all first time around.
- New face animations added. Enjoy more animated AI.
- New animations added (regular animations).
- K6 has been improved. Whatever it means, our team improved it!
- Some game hints were fixed.
- Fixed and improved Nuclear explosion skip.
- New condition for Nuclear explosion was added. It was always there, but did not always work.
- Interaction with injectors has been improved.
- AI model improved (not the AI model, as AI, but model as such). And you can no longer meet faceless AAA style AIs. It was our Halloween treat :)
- Shooting effects were improved. We actually tried to stop our programmer, but whatever helps him sleep at night, makes us happy.
- Notes got easier to read. Just a bit.
- You can no longer loose an object inside the table. But if you actually liked it, we'll consider bringing this option back.
- Freezing effects were improved. Overall, we did improve blur, post-processes and tonns of other cheesy graphics stuff.
- Sounds were fixed a bit. Just a tiny little bit. Like, meat cup was making a wrong sound when falling down on the floor.
UNEXPECTED HALLOWEEN UPDATE (October 28)
Unexpected update in almost a YEAR after release. Hm... What for? We can afford it. BTW, we have already released Loco Parentis.
So what's new:
- MANY MANY MANY NEW MUSIC!!! (now in OST 43 tracks instead of 19).
- Fixed audio bugs. Notes are not metal anymore
- Improved game stability
- Optimized loading of game levels
- You can AGGRESSIVELY skip the cut-scene of a nuclear explosion. *Worker who didn't do that from the beginning was blown up.
- You can get some achievements easily: "Repeat. Please" / "I don’t like being tense" / "Next" / "Ah, nevermind".
- Simplified receiving pf achievement "Search for new sensations".
- Increased epic-slash-comic opening of the MAJOR MONSTROUS and totally USELESS gates of the complex.
- The opening of someone else’s locker is now always counted to achieve the achievement “Have a nice day”.
- AI received an update. Now the hologram moves more realistically. And sometimes not. Sometimes her jaw breaks. But sometimes not. In general, she still the same b****.
- Updated the visual effect of the disappearance of AI.
- Shooting back let you to get the achievement Shoot back.
- Sloppy autopsy is counted as achievement “Have a nice day”.
- The loss in the fight with internal contamination alien is always counted to achieve the “Have a nice day” achievement.
- The cessation of the body’s vital processes at the Training Ground is now always counted as achievement “Have a nice day”.
- Fans in the main hall of the complex work more efficiently (and louder).
- The alien's "blood" is still making sounds. Even more disgusting.
- During interrogation, you can VZHZHZHZHZH!!!
- The alien is feel more pain during putting sensor into it.
- During cleaning the complex, to motivate the player, we added some motivation song
- Drone explosion sound updated . There right now is such a bdshch-bams-booms-tratata!
- The wife typing goes with a more pleasant sound.
- The entrance and exit to the ship is more epic (we haven't change anything, but everyone thinks so).
- The alien console now gives a more adequate feedback. Although the same in alien-ish.
- Updated neuro-interface inside virtual reality. Improved stability. Added sound.
- Updated sound notification about DDoS mine activation.
- Updated sound notification of access to the data array in the repository.
- Updated sound notification of the departure of the system.
- Updated sound notification about improving endurance of the user of the neuro-interface.
- Added some notes of Kojima the genius.
- The unstabilization of the reactor became more serious.
- The final elevator goes with more unpleasant sounds and shows its inability to perform its basic functions. However, this can't correct the dumb motivation of the main character. DLC can correct this motivation somehow, but we don’t have the money to complete the entire complex. Sorry
P.S. This is not the latest update.
