Hi, everyone. I just came back from Guangdong because the flight got delayed for a whole 6 hours because of some air traffic control. But that cannot stop me from getting this developer's diary to you in the end. As this is NEOLITHIA, the longest-alive RPG in China, the immutable fix points of all the timelines, and the ever-lasting evolution of the game content, WE ARE ETERNAL! Yeah, I need to keep high to fight back some sleepiness. Now, let's go down to the game content update of this week. First thing first, Genzou's storyline finally connected to the cut scene. After an event, you can witness at the east barricade of Fjordr, [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/11ff8b469f1b4934b19e15543433ee530281b7cb.jpg[/img] Meanwhile, A certain commissar certainly does not take any gentle attitude towards any military failures. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/9660bcc7c401dfba5652d7a3ae7981b8c5c1825e.jpg[/img] you can learn more from a certain drunk soldier in the traven. Genzou will actively ask around about the girl he waited for decades. And here, he finally can get some answers. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/7501696610edf70a3c0ddbbc486b098a74bb56f6.jpg[/img] The journey ahead may be dangerous. But we all have something we can die for in our life, don't we? [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/7071219ca9a8c3405f8b38fa86fe2d3d2d47df52.jpg[/img] The story will continue when the map further expands deeper into Jiru Island. Another major part of this week's update is the Mini-Game Room. Especially about the secret of this room. Have you found the secret of this room yet? Have you been doing what you have been told to get a score as high as possible on the leaderboard or try to find what exactly happened here and look for your true freedom and liberty? Now, in addition to finding a way to escape, you can also fight back. (Just a side note, few people successfully escaped as I think most of the people haven't even found the secret yet. To them, it's just a place with a lot of mini-games.) This new scenario in this Mini-Game Room leads to a nuclear ending. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/9a42041288d7b0e16d58f51b6e66647f8828358e.jpg[/img] Of course, there will be a lot of death. But, it's because men die, that liberty will never perish. (You certainly don't want to live in a dystopia where dictators are immortal.) Even though, this will not fully stop the experimentation. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39774670/e4e1c4bcde470aaae084dae495b84bb763f8f5ba.jpg[/img] But the game now actually tracks how many times you get everything to explode. So, maybe in the future, something new can be added to this possible ending. Meanwhile, just so you know, the pickpocket mini-game is now also in this Mini-Game Room. You may need to play it to get something critical for you to blow everything up. In addition to those story content updates, we also get something that may really improve your life quality a bit when try to regroup with your teammates. Thanks to the suggestion of 吉尔伽美什， you no longer need to go all the way back to where you recruit your teammate to ask them to join you again. You can just make a phone call to summon you where you are. There are many fixed public phones you can use in different parts of the game world. However, I am not going to give you a mobile phone just yet. There are many considerations to take into account to implement fixed public phones instead of letting you take a mobile phone with you that can serve as a teammate teleportation device. The first reason is obviously that it is too cheap from the combat strategy point of you. When you start an adventure you no longer need to consider the composition of your teammates if you can just summon them anytime anywhere. The second reason is it may cause an alarmingly high amount of bugs to mess around the storylines. For example, if you have a mobile phone, you can easily teleport Genzou right to the East Barricade and bypass his dialogs when he reaches Jiru Island for the first time. There can be quite a lot of such cases that need to be pinned down before implementing mobile phone devices. The third is more a story reason. As we know, the Illuminati cut off communication between the local citizens of Queensmouth from the outside, and the Nise Federation quarantined Jiru Island, The Foundation is also not likely to allow you to just use your phone to call people outside from one of their facilities. Thus, it makes no sense to even be able to use a mobile phone in those places. It will also feel quite weird if you have something you can't use lying in your inventory forever. Thus, the system is currently implemented as it is right now. Now as I got quite busy with those real-life legal businesses, other updates are relatively disjointed from each other. For example, you can exchange beer for random rumors in Fjordr's Traven; You can find out why those random soldiers do not want to answer Genzou's questions about the "White-Haired Witch." You can now find out a dark secret of the origin of those machine skeletons in the basement of a certain hospital. (at least the origin of some of them.) That's for this week. The game is currently on sale and it's the last sale before the game's price goes up. I hope everyone had a nice August. And there will be more interesting updates in September.
