Hi,
We mentioned in the Attack + Kill blog post previous to this one, other features/tweaks that have taken place during. Here is a quick rundown. Apologies if we miss some off
Gameplay changes
- New Bodyguard code to handle bodyguards role in Attacks
- Bodyguards killed in Attacks now earn prestige and honourpoints
- Bodyguards Bug Fixes & costing re-worked
- Prestige & Honourpoints earned by the attackers are now also lost on the defender. I.E. you lose prestige + honourpoints for losing attacks
- Attack reports re-worked so that they now show more clearly information about the attack but also represent the prestige + honourpoints earnt for each component
- Various Attack + Kill UI bug fixes
- All attacks and kill now require energy. Kill + Attack = 20 & Carbomb & Loot = 14. Each member participating must have the required energy
- Prestige & Honourpoints are now earnt/lost when performing mugs on other players
- UI tweaks: airport more prominent, space saving on the left menu, and turf gets its own drop down menu making garage a little more accessible
- Smooth new signup process
- Returning from Hell although not too disimilar in looks is completely re-coded
- Turf has reverted back to a single button to collect all rent
- Turf Bug fixes to rent accrual
- Completely removed the random turf events. Buildings will only get damaged from attacks
- Bug fix: Chat windows correctly scroll accross the site
- UI tweaks in Turf
- Casinos and assets no longer have pickup licenses
- Increased % of finding items whilst performing crimes throughout the game
- Duffel bags + Hard case suitcase added as credit items (useful in loots)
- Pricing models re-worked for memberships and credits
Tech changes
- Migrated from a static server in AWS to Kubernetes in GCP.
- Introduced a fully automated deployent pipeline, allowing for seamless code bugfixes+updates without damaging the player experience at all
- Complete re-write of the foundational code (this was fairly dated by this point)
- Added a logging engine, to give us more awareness at any one time of the system & errors, whilst (as best we can) keeping those errors from user frontend
- Taken the time to containerise the stack, meaning that it is now very easy for other developers to work on this project.
- Seperated the various components of the game into microservices, so we can scale the crap out of any layer now!
