Resistance Report - 2024-10-18

Greetings!

Today’s Resistance Report will be a short one as there isn’t much I can talk about yet and it’s currently 4:30PM on a Friday (me writing this at this time also has to do with things I can’t talk about).

However, I do want to use this opportunity to show a sign of life and let you know that we’re working on the next update in full force! Our timelines are on track, the designers are designing, programmers are coding, and QA testers are uncovering more bugs than a 12 year old me in the forest on a wednesday afternoon.

I know you don’t like it when I say this, but we’ll have more information for you soon. Super soon.

Halloween Event 2024

Spooky times are back!

The Halloween event starts tomorrow, 19th of October, and runs until the third of November. As always, you’ll be able to earn some exclusive ingame apparel items by destroying Machines!

Any resemblance between these apparel items and fictional characters whose IPs belong to companies bigger than us is epic, but entirely coincidental.

Here’s the drop list:

Slayer set: Dropped by Harvesters and Wolves
Elegant (Vampire) set: Dropped by Runners and Lynx
Antarctic set: Dropped by Hunters
Slasher set: Dropped by Tanks and Firebirds

I hope you enjoy the event and get all the items! Good luck.

GZ Concert Ticket Giveaway

The Stockholm-based orchestra Musikaliska Kvarteret is organizing a concert where they’ll play some iconic video game soundtracks and GZ is part of it!
Those of you who have seen me ramble about soundtracks and how important they are know how hyped I am that this is happening. A big thank you to the organizers for including us!

When I heard about this, I knew I had to give away some tickets to our community. So here it is:
A chance for two people and their plus ones to experience this concert live on November 9th!
Since it isn’t being streamed and takes place in Stockholm, I’ve had to limit the giveaway to participants from Sweden only.

If you live outside of Sweden and are ready to purchase a plane ticket to come see this concert, please let me know and I’ll add you to the pool. To be clear, I don’t expect anyone to do this and it would make this so much more difficult for me, but it would be really funny.

Find out ways to enter by clicking this Gleam Link! The giveaway ends on October 25th.

Good luck to all who enter! As of right now, there are 0 completed entries, so I’m hoping some of you are close enough to participate, otherwise I’ll have to take the tickets for myself and my friends and that would be TERRIBLE.

Today’s Swiss German Word is twofold, since you can’t go from one town to another without finding a new dialect in Switzerland. Hence, the words “Hitzgi” and “Gluggsi” are both valid Swiss German words for “hiccup”, each with some more niche regional offshoots and slight variations.

Thanks for reading and I’ll talk to you soon!

Thanks for the sign of life. Just on a aside: I had a great Shout out from Ash on Twitter for my work on the Memory map. It’s always nice to see that even the Devs make use of it. :coffee:

Thanks Carni.

I’m excited what “super soon” means.

Let’s hope that someone remembers to flip the switch this year! LOL

Thank you for the update, or sign of life.

Yes! They did. I remember what happened last year🤣

It is working and they are very easy to get. Just have to loot all machines and I see them popping up in loot boxes too.

Me too. Super excited. Soon

One understanding, base off how “super soon” Halloween announcement was, that the new event will be “super soon” after the announcement! :crazy_face:

areas were dead runners are everywhere :smiling_face: I’ve picked up enough Halloween clothes to open my very own Halloween clothing store lol

another theory on why robots would even have Halloween clothes and not the humans, :rofl: robots crashed Halloween party’s and took there cloths, :face_with_monocle: then again, any game that gives out strange items while looting dead bodies never did follow real life rules, lol

This guy wants to be a Hero in generation Zero

He’s saying “Hero”.
Nevertheless, not bad at all, but too less text.
The story should have told on.

That was a Freudian typo.

I hope that I am not the only one but I have noticed that my game has been running smooth, with no crashes. I have been getting in a few hours here and there and running well. That is solo, host and join co-ops.

I only play solo. I never got crashes, not even when many others did.

To be honest, “super soon” in my eyes would have been on last tuesday, maybe even today.
How long will it take?

maybe super soon was a typo, :confused:, owell, it is what it is, I’m enjoying the Halloween event in the meantime

if your new to the game or just missing some Halloween cloths, :ghost: event ends Nov 3, get them while you can

That would be based on what?

  • Western cultures: “Soon” usually means fairly quickly—think days or hours.

  • Eastern cultures: “Soon” can mean a stretch of time—possibly weeks.

    just think how much closer we are to the “soon” than we were when the first super soon was posted!

Based on my expectations for usual business and my experiences with SR.

Sometimes even “soon” was sooner than “super soon”. :sweat_smile:
