In this update, you will able to unpack your items if you have some. For now, there are 3 types of items you can unpack
1.The Welcome Box : always contain Food Ration Coupon, Lottery and a Government Support package.
2.Food Ration Coupon : give you a random item from the "Food, Drinks, Medicine" category.
3.Lottery : gives you either 3 Business Bond(equivalent to 3 million Kattas) or a Lottery Bread. You have 5% chance to win the prize.
The Welcome Box itself will available to receive weekly(for free) from the server, in V0.2.4.6. If you don't have one yet, please wait a little more or borrow from your friends.
The Government Support Package
This is a part of The Welcome Box. Its content will change regularly. The propose of this package is to handout necessary items to test the game at the current or upcoming versions. So you have to decide that you will unpack it or wait until it contains items you want.
Currently, this package gives you "Camping Tent", "Kerosene (Can)", "Kerosene Lamp" and one of these; "Gold Certificate" or "Silver Certificate" or "Guerrilla's Gold".
For Gold Certificate", "Silver Certificate" and "Guerrilla's Gold", they are premium currencies. They will have their usage in the future. I will handout these items until 31 December 2019 only. Don't forget this.
Other Development Information
- There is some bug that prevents players to spawn correctly. I'm investigating it. If you encounter this bug you can message me to restart the server.
- I increased the voice polling rate, the voice chat quality will slightly improve.
-Upcoming Versions
V0.2.4.5g will add Online Banking and Inventory packing function.
V0.2.4.6 will add Free Supply unit in the server, so you can receive free weekly lootbox.
V0.2.4.6a will add "Illegal Weapon Dealer" NPC in the server.
V0.2.4.7 will add LASF unit (LittleArctic Security Force). You can join the team and hunt down Illegal Weapon Dealers.
V0.4.5 will add the long await Factory Jobs for everyone.
See you next update (V0.2.4.5g) :emofdr:
I have to have an Emergency Break.
Currently, my main computer is very unstable, it shut itself off frequently this week(even left idle). I have to send it to a computer shop to repair.
So I can only do the designing part of the game(on laptop) until I get my main computer back.
Don't worry, I already backup important data. See you next time very soon, I hope. :emofdr:
Devblog #21 Small fixes and Walkie-Talkie
What is actually fixed?
I changed the login flow. You will contact a server before you can login. This gives the server a chance to verify the player, check the client version and ask for the server's password.
I also fixed the spawn system. It should successfully spawn you every time.
That Walkie-Talkie
I remove the global chat and replace it with Walkie-Talkie. It will let you talk with other people who also open their channel, both voice and text.
Walkie-Talkie has 150 meters in range while proximity chat has only 20 meters.
The voice quality is still unacceptable. I will find ways to improve it over time.
As always
Test servers are sponsored by ZAP-Hosting.

See you next update.:emofdr:
Devblog #20 Small Update, Add Text Chat
I recently added a TextChat. It simply has 2 modes.
All : You can see both Global and Proximity messages. You will submit global messages in this mode.
Proximity : You can see and submit only Proximity messages. The range of messaging is the same as the maximum range of the VoiceChat.(50 meters)
See you next time.:emofdr:
Devblog #19 V0.2.4.5 / VAC Protected Server
Most of us aren't aware of the Experimental Branch
So I decided to put this version online early. This update contains just basic functionalities. I will need to make other features and test them in the Testing Branch. New items will available to buy in V0.2.4.6.
New Features - Proximity Voice Chat (Hold V or Press V if toggle option selected)
- Autorun (Press LeftCtrl)
- Toggle Walk (Press LeftAlt)
Nothing else to be expected here until the next version.
VAC Protectected Server
Every Official Server will be protected by Valve Anti-Cheat from now on. You must make sure that you don't have any malicious programs running while you are playing on the VAC protected server or VAC can ban you.
See you next time.:emofdr:
Devblog #18 Testing on Experimental Branch
It feels like a long time ago, and I know it.
I decided to overhaul the project. I create every piece and systems in an extendable way. This means it's unlikely I have to overhaul the whole project again. I can update each system separately and always have a working version for you.
A glimpse of Little Arctic
I just finished the new login system and the new VOIP system. When you are in the server you can hold "V" button to talk to other people.
I will open the server for soak-testing and discover new bugs. In the meantime, I will try to reduce the downloading size and do other optimization.
See you next time.:emofdr:
Devblog #17 V0.2.4 Emergency
Still not V0.2.5
Internally, I'm moving away from the old online backend service. The need for transferring your LUC-credit out arises. At the time I don't move the game to the new service yet, so I will allow everyone to transfer your LUC into the credit card item with 25% discount and also add some LUC to your account too.
This credit buying event is for a limited time. It will last at least 1 week from now and will be removed completely around V0.2.5.
The seal item is converted
As the "Fast-Sale Seal" functionality is not effective, I decide to not use it. Instead of getting rid of it, I convert it into the new item called "Diesel Generator" and make it marketable.
When does the next version arrives?
I estimate V0.2.5 will finish in the next 3 weeks. I'm always late as you can see but I don't stop making it.
Currently, I don't open the servers yet, I need to test something a bit more.

Devblog #16 Project Overhaul (Again)
This is the last chance to do overhauling
In the past years, I did experiments on the game technically. I've learned many things but the project gets messy because I have to make a lot of placeholder logic everywhere. Now I think this is the best time to start over the project and make everything again with all the knowledge I got(and also the new things I'm about to learn).
Please wait a little more
The overhauling process will take time but in the long term, the game can develop faster. So you will have to play with the current version for about 2 months. I will restart the server(and savegame) every Thursday.
See you next time.:emofdr:

Devblog #15 Voice-Chat Testing on XPBranch for a limited time.
One thing I'm very sure
Next version(V0.2.5) will include Voice/Text chat. I think this is also a fundamental of societies, we have to comunicate. I updated the XPBranch for testing 3DVoice-Chat. I will open the XPServer for next 7 days.
The download size is huge and there is no LUC reward in XPBranch so this is for testing only. You will see it in V0.2.5 anyway.
Happy New Year and see you next time.:emofdr:

Devblog #14 A Little Rough Transition
Need some re-organization
Currently, I'm integrating a new VOIP service to the game. I need to use the experiment server to test this but I can't just simply drop the current XP version. I decide to replace V0.2.0 with the XP now. New players who don't know there is XP Branch will can play it on NormalBranch until I finished V0.2.5.
I will reset the jobs every Thursday until V0.2.5 come out
The swapping process will finish in about 1-2 hours after this announcement, and you have to opt-out experimental branch to play on Server1.
I think "Fast-Sale Seal" is not effective
This item is use for tag other item for them to get sold without blocking. I think this mechanic is not convenient to use. I decide to get rid of it(tagging) in V0.2.5, the items those were tagged will stay the same.
All of these items will be converted to "Diesel Generator" and will allowed to trade and marketable.
Hint : This is an oppotunity for invest in something.
See you next time.:emofdr:
