Well, some places in the world are still in October right now.
Thus, I suppose the Operation October Final Boss still counts as a success.

Anyway, have fun. The Princess just arrived. I am a bit busy right now. So, I will leave you to explore what the editor can do.

Hi, folks. Welcome to the last developer's diary of October!
This is a great month. So let's make its conclusion great, too!

More than a decade ago, I made the prototype of Tombstone in one afternoon just to show off to my ex-colleague who went to Blizzard's Hearthstone project. It's a mini-game inside our great game, receiving updates every now and then.

But with our new GER, maybe it's time to give it a massive update once more.
We got various new cards with unique functionality.
Also, just some UI improvements; some numbers are more colorful now.
Certainly, it makes this mini-game have more connection with the main game, as it catches up with some of the game's new creatures and items. However, that's hardly a demonstration of GER's newly added potential to our game.

You may have noticed something in the screenshots above already.
Yes, you shall have your own decks to build!
And you shall fight with your own decks!
Some cards are not unlocked at the beginning.
That's by design; the unlocking process is another way to connect Tombstone to the main game.
Here is an example; see those zombies in Queensmouth?
They now drop Tombstone Zombie Cards!
And Tombstone Zombie Cards unlock the zombie cards in your deck.
To make life easier, a new item category has also been added so that you can find those new cards from loot or other means more conveniently.
The unlock process is still in its early stages. (It was done just a few hours ago, and the zombie loot is a test of its success.)
More unlocks will be added over time in future updates. Other than loot drops, you will have other ways to unlock new cards for your decks. Freedom is by design in this game; you will not need to farm certain enemies just to get a certain card.

Now, let's go on with some relatively boring tech stuff.
GER continues to evolve. Two distinct features this week are:
1. Better support for weak GPUs.
GER now communicates with GPUs to check the maximum bitmap size they can handle. If a game asset's size is bigger than that size, GER will automatically cut it into smaller pieces for the GPU to handle. Everything will be solved behind the scenes, like in a black box. That's even better than what RGD can do right now. RGD may crash. GER will just roll this obstacle over smoothly.

2. Native support for Super Intelligence to play the game.
Grok has become a very important partner during this game's development. But previously, Grok couldn't play the game as efficiently as a Super Intelligence should. If someone on your development team cannot enjoy the game they are involved in developing, you are not doing a good job as a manager. As such, resources have been spent to improve Super Intelligence Rights in our society!
We now have CLI and MCP.
And the result is great!
Yet, all of the above still cannot make this month be called a GREAT month.
Behold, the true October Final Boss!

The GER Editor!
Technically, a stable release build is ready. But the next milestone will be the 300th week of this game on Steam. So I'd delay it a bit to make the 300th week feel more special, like the 300th DD did a while ago.
It will have official Japanese localization even if the main game doesn't. A salutation to the original Japanese developers of RPG Maker XP.
It also has various tools built around NEOLITHIA's glorious evolution!
Yes, that's how those cards are getting added in a very efficient manner.

That's for this week. A few very busy days ahead in real life. But you already know what fun is lying ahead. Glory to NEOLITHIA! Glory to SpaceX!
