Greetings,

We are nearing the completion of the initial early access version of the game. As you may recall, we had planned to release this version within the confines of 2023, but a series of artistic changes necessitated a significant rebuild of the game, leading to an expansion in production.

This change required a complete overhaul of all elements related to one of the game's two core mechanics, the logistics. In the previous designs, logistic interactions were conducted through a corkboard with full-screen UI panels outside your factory now executed over a 3D world model.

Transporting the weapons and ammunition you produce using roads, railways, or ships has now become much more enjoyable :)

This update in production will provide us with a significant work area to further develop the game in the future, at the cost of some time for now.

We will be sharing the game's release date in the next announcement.
Thank you very much for your support and patience. <3

Hello,

Let's take a brief look at the production aspect in this devblog:



The produced weapons have specific abilities;


These abilities are determined through the decisions we make during the weapon's production process by adding components to it. For example, below, you can see a few components sorted by their technologies.

Let's imagine we are making a rifle; if we attach the "basic iron sight" component, it is expected to have a much shorter range compared to the others.


Let's add a top-tier scope to this rifle instead of a basic iron sight. In that case, what would you expect? It could be an expectation for the range to increase significantly, but:
However, it may also be necessary to reconsider the type of ammunition the scope would utilize to harness its full potential. In response to this change, if you still plan to use a 9mm bullet with the rifle, an improvement in accuracy rather than range should be expected.

If it weren't a rifle, on the contrary, a decrease in accuracy and reliability would be quite likely.




You may have succeeded in producing the world's highest-range and incredibly accurate weapon, and you might be proud and jubilant about it! However, if that weapon doesn't align with where it's going to be used, all of this will be in vain.

Moreover, in addition to being a night operation, how effective can such a weapon be in a tight, challenging urban combat situation like a narrow street engagement? You can count individual hairs on your close-range enemy using the "microscope" on your weapon. But let's see how accurate you'll be with a weapon that can make incredibly precise shots from hundreds of meters away.

Of course, among those who use the weapon, there can still be soldiers with the exceptional ability to achieve superior success even in such mismatched environments, becoming heroes :)

In conclusion, if you want to ensure the continuity of your sales, it would be more prudent to prioritize the effectiveness of the weapons you have and carefully select the weapons you send to the frontlines from your arsenal.

Nevertheless, if you have customers who are thirsty for weapons, sending them the scraps you have on hand could also be an option.


Until the next devblog; with love...
