Game Description Galactic Ruler Enlightenment provides 2 different campaigns, each with an option for an aggressive or peaceful path to victory. Built on the same systems and features from the original Galactic Ruler, but designed around 2 new playable races.

Players begin with a single homeworld and limited military, and must explore a unique galaxy with each playthrough, expand their territory and military forces, exploit resources from various planets in different star systems, and possibly exterminate the competition.

In the campaigns, players will interact with all the different races. Each other race has their own goals and agenda. Players will need to decide which factions would make good allies and which factions are simply a stepping stone to greater glory.

To be competitive in the galaxy, players will leverage new technologies and ship designs. Initially players only have access to their home system, but research will unlock improvements such as FTL travel, beam weapons and shields which can be equipped on new ship designs. Build up your space fleet to keep your people safe.

What the Galactic Ruler series offers that is unique from other games, is that not only does the action take place at space level, but most planets have surfaces that are accessible for colonization or exploitation. This also creates a new battlefield. Players will engage in combat on the planet below and the space above simultaneously.

Galactic Ruler Enlightenment offers real-time strategy game play at both the planetary level and in space! Campaign play expands the series with story driven elements. Lead your faction in diplomacy or conquest across a unique galactic map where any system might hold hostile enemies or resource riches. Harness needed resources and develop advanced technology to rule the galaxy in the latest offering from BattleGoat Studios.

Game Features

• Two new factions to play, each with their own story driven campaigns
• New Unit Management functions to enhance control of your forces.
• Revised energy commodity balance for better economy gameplay
• Procedurally generated galaxies, systems and planets for a new and unique experience with each new game

Game Description Pacific Drive is a first-person driving survival game with your car as your only companion. Navigate a surreal reimagining of the Pacific Northwest, and face supernatural dangers as you venture into the Olympic Exclusion Zone. Each excursion into the wilderness brings unique and strange challenges as you restore and upgrade your car from an abandoned garage that acts as your home base. Gather precious resources and investigate what’s been left behind in the Zone; unravel a long-forgotten mystery while learning exactly what it takes to survive in this unpredictable, hostile environment.

DRIVE TO SURVIVE
It’s you and your station wagon against an unforgiving, vicious world. It’ll take more than a fresh set of tires to keep you alive, on and off the road. Your faithful wagon can be upgraded and reinforced to protect you, but the car is going to take a beating. Keep your gas tank filled and your panels intact to withstand the radiation permeating the Zone. You’ll be pushed to your limit – making repairs on the fly, scavenging materials wherever you can, and adapting your rolling fortress to tackle the many life-threatening dangers that lurk in the shadows.

INVESTIGATE THE ZONE
The experimental leftovers of the secretive ARDA organization remain scattered across the Zone, and finding answers won’t be easy. Everywhere you look you’ll find anomalies, surreal forces of a twisted nature that make your journey more difficult… or more interesting. Silhouettes in the dark, rolling piles of scrap metal, and towering pillars of earth – each trip is packed with otherworldly hazards. As terrifying as those may be, nothing compares to the overwhelming power of a Zone Storm. Stomp on the gas and outrun it if you can – these rolling maelstroms rend the landscape and obliterate anything that sticks around too long. Don’t let that be you.

REPEAT
Check the map, pack some gear for the trip, and hit the road. Gather resources and collect data as you go, there’s all sorts of useful stuff inside the walls of the Zone. Make it back safely and use the contents of your trunk to improve your car and garage. Every time you venture out, new trials await: bizarre weather, unforgiving landscapes, and experimental remnants. The golden rule in the Zone is ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ — some materials can only be found in the most dangerous places. Be smart out there, and don’t waste time — it’s going to be a long haul.

Game Features

• Outrun the storm while facing strange perils in a world that shifts with every journey into the Zone
• Your car, your way – scavenge resources to craft new equipment and configure your wagon how you want. Experiment with different mods and car parts to navigate a treacherous landscape, and look good doing it
• Unravel the mystery of the Olympic Exclusion Zone, an abandoned research site in an anomaly-filled version of the Pacific Northwest
• Original score by Wilbert Roget, II and featuring 20+ licensed songs

Game Description The Turtle beckons! You have been selected by a tribe of peace-loving Meeps to save the life of their World Turtle, a giant space reptile carrying the entire world as they know it on its back. Establish a new way for Meeps to survive and create a sustainable society… All the while feeding the great World Turtle to ensure that it doesn’t perish along its endless way.

Cooperation, not conquest, will be necessary for success when the Turtle wanders into the more treacherous stretches of space or – perhaps – meets others of its kind…

World Turtles is a wholesome colony builder with the primary goal of sustainability. The Meeps are eager to work, enthusiastic like no other, and unfortunately, exceptionally disorganized without leadership.

That’s where you come in. Build up the Meepvilization from a small village in one corner of the turtleback to a sprawling colony that has mastered the challenges of living on the literal back of a spacefaring reptile.

You’ll have to explore across the turtleback, unite the Meep tribes, and research new forms of economic sustainability. No two playthroughs will be the same thanks to procedural generation of the turtle and the universe it flies through. But once the turtleback knows world peace and the hungry, hungry turtle is safe… it’s time to launch the Meeps Space Program!

Once full and healthy, the World Turtle can take the Meeps’ world wherever they want. But while space is full of opportunity, there is also danger! Sectors can impact life on the turtleback – alter the climate, water levels, or unleash (un)natural catastrophes. Prepare the Meeps adequately and help them survive the journey of a lifetime.

World Turtles is a labor of love by a solo developer from South Africa who has always wanted to create for others. The concept of World Turtles deserves to be developed further, together with an enthusiastic community.

1972年的《花花公子》圖片被禁止在IEEE電腦期刊上發表

IEEE 電腦協會向會員宣佈，該協會將不再接受包含經常使用的 1972 年《花花公子》模特兒Lena Forsén圖像的論文。

他的這張照片，被學界稱為「萊娜圖」（Lenna），自 1973 年以來一直被用於圖像處理研究，並因讓一些女性在該領域感到不受歡迎而招致批評。

▲ 最初的 512×512"Lenna"測試圖像，是 1972 年《花花公子》中心折頁的裁剪部分。

在 IEEE 電腦協會週三發給會員的一封電子郵件中，技術與會議活動副總裁特里-本澤爾（Terry Benzel）寫道：「IEEE 的多樣性聲明和支援政策（如《IEEE 道德準則》）表明，IEEE 致力於促進一種包容、平等、歡迎所有人的文化。為了與這種文化保持一致，並尊重圖片主人公 Lena Forsén 的意願，IEEE 將不再接受包含'Lena 圖片'的論文提交。」

什麼是萊娜圖？萊娜圖的由來？

「萊娜圖」512×512 像素測試圖像的未裁剪版本最初作為《花花公子》雜誌 1972 年 12 月刊的封面照片出現。

1973 年 6 月或 7 月，南加州大學訊號和圖像處理研究所一位名叫亞歷山大-索丘克（Alexander Sawchuck）的助理教授和一位研究生用一台原始的鼓式掃描器掃描了中間封面圖像的正方形部分，省略了原始圖像中的裸體部分。他們為一位同事的會議論文掃描了這張圖片，之後其他人也開始使用這張圖片。

這張照片以Forsén的臉和裸露的肩膀為特色，她戴著一頂帶有紫色羽毛的帽子，由於對比度高、細節豐富，在數位圖像技術發展的初期，這張照片是測試圖像處理系統的理想選擇。

這張圖片在1970 年代、80 年代和 90 年代被其他報刊使用，引起了《花花公子》的注意，但該公司決定不處理侵犯版權的行為。

甚至在 1997 年，《花花公子》還將這事轉換成一場行銷活動，他幫助他們找到了Forsén。

Lena Forsén本人出生於1951年，1972年時在芝加哥擔任模特兒，後來回到瑞典工作，有個很幸福的婚姻，並育有三個小孩。但直到1988年她被採訪時，才知道她的這張圖片多年來已在學術領域中成為傳奇。她受邀出席了1997年影像科技學會50週年的年會，並為粉絲簽名。她當時說：「他們一定厭倦了我......這麼多年來一直看著同一張照片！」。

不過，幾十年來，電腦領域的男性使用這張照片招致了不少批評，尤其是女科學家和工程師對此表示反感。她們認為這張照片（尤其是與《花花公子》品牌的關聯）物化了女性，營造了一種不完全歡迎女性的學術氛圍。

由於至少可以追溯到 1996 年的一些批評，《自然》雜誌在 2018 年禁止在論文投稿中使用Forsén的形象。

Forsén本人對自己成為影像界「女神」的看法

至於Forsén本人對自己的這張照片成為影像學術界的「守護女神」，又是怎麼樣的看法呢？

1988 年，一家瑞典刊物詢問Forsén是否介意自己的形象被用於電腦科學領域，據說她對此表示相當有趣。

而在2019年，在Wired的這篇報導「Finding Lena, the Patron Saint of JPEGs」中，他們再度採訪了Forsén，甚至邀請她再依照當年的姿勢來拍一張照片。

在報導中，Forsén表示自己並沒有對這張圖片感到不滿，也對自己被人稱為「網際網路第一夫人」感到有趣。她在報導中表示「我真的為那張照片感到驕傲。」

不過，隨後她似乎也改變了主意。2019 年，Creatable 和 Code Like a Girl 製作了一部名為《下架萊娜》（Losing Lena）的廣告紀錄片，這是一場宣傳活動的一部分，旨在讓科技和圖像處理領域不再使用莉娜形象。

在活動和影片的新聞稿中，Forsén說：「我很久以前就退出了模特界。現在我也該退出科技領域了。我們可以在今天做出簡單的改變，為明天帶來持久的改變。讓我們承諾把萊娜圖下架。」

現在看來，這一承諾正在兌現。IEEE 出版物在歷史上一直是電腦成像發展的重要期刊，其禁令很可能會進一步開創一個先例，使萊娜圖不再被廣泛使用。

IEEE 的 Benzel 在郵件中建議更廣泛地關注這一問題，他寫道：「為了提高作者對這一新政策的認識和遵守，程式委員會成員和審稿人應該尋找是否包含這一圖片，如果存在，應該要求作者用替代圖片替換萊娜圖。」

我就穿著平時穿的衣服上台了，結果大家說我模仿賈伯斯，但這真的就是個不白之冤啊。

雷軍一直以來除了對科技產業有熱情，並且也有相當的個人風格。每次的發表會，往往會金句連連，比如說「站在風口，豬也會飛」「Are you OK？」就至今一直被網友念念不忘。

不過，也有網友說，過去雷軍在小米手機的發表會上，似乎在模仿賈伯斯。而最近到了小米SU7發表會上，似乎又再模仿馬斯克。對此，雷軍最近在抖音的直播上，首次對此說明。

雷軍表示，「大家說我在著裝上模仿馬斯克，我其實挺鬱悶，馬斯克那件衣服我好像只看到他穿過一回，真的是不小心撞衫了。」

「男生的西服呢，其實就那麼幾種顏色。」他說，「如果我要模仿馬斯克，可以模仿得更像。」 

雷布斯到底有沒有模仿賈伯斯？

雷軍2010年創立小米，當年就以「致敬蘋果」起家。雷軍曾自認是賈伯斯的粉絲，在小米新品發表會上，他也是常常穿著黑色T恤和藍色牛仔褲，彷彿賈伯斯翻版，因而被人稱為「雷布斯」。

但是，這次在直播中，雷軍也提到了：讓他更委屈的是，當年做手機時，大家說他模仿賈伯斯。

 

雷軍辯解表示：「我穿的其實就是工程師平時穿的，凡客的T恤，凡客的牛仔褲，凡客的帆布鞋。」（凡客為中國平價服飾品牌）

「我們當時開發佈會呢，很傻，不知道還要穿個別的衣服，我就穿著平時穿的衣服上台了，結果大家說我模仿賈伯斯，但這真的就是個不白之冤啊。」

不過呢，說雷軍「撞衫」馬斯克或許是真的，但是說他沒有模仿賈伯斯，雷布斯或許就是真的忘了過去的那段時光。不信的話，網路上也有人整理了雷軍這些年來的穿衣風格，有一段期間雷軍似乎真的很像是COSPLAY賈伯斯的失敗案例。

雷軍10年來的穿衣圖鑑

也有網友整理了歷年來雷軍的「穿衣圖鑑」，看看雷軍是否真的有在穿搭上致敬？

▲ 2010年，雷軍剛成立小米公司時，與創業伙伴一起喝「小米粥」時的穿著。

▲ 2011～2014年：COSPLAY賈伯斯時期

▲ 2015之後小米成為上市公司，雷軍開始穿著比較正式。之後漸漸開始比較常穿起小白鞋成為他的個人特色。

 

• 延伸閱讀：小米 SU7 電動車規格詳解、價格約台幣95萬起，雷軍性價比之王獲封「雷神」
• 延伸閱讀：雷軍帳號疑因太久沒發文遭小米官方社群判為違規帳號刪除，社群負責人：差點嚇尿

AI Explorer 被微軟描述為進階版的Copilot，是將AI PC與非AI PC區分開來的重磅AI體驗。

近日有大神挖掘了Windows 11的預覽版更新程式碼，發現了使用AI Explorer的最低組態要求。

先前根據外媒最新報導，今年微軟將發佈包含「AI Explorer」功能的重大 Windows 11 更新，可能是針對未來AI PC的規範之一。

「AI Explorer」系統最低要求

現在有網友曝光了能執行「AI Explorer」系統最低要求為：16GB記憶體、Snapdragon X Elite NPU、總容量至少225GB的系統硬碟以及ARM64處理器。

若果真如此的話，想要體驗微軟這項「顛覆性」新功能就只能購買Snapdragon X Elite裝置，完全向ARM64靠攏，等於完全將Intel排除在外？

微軟應該不大可能做出把Intel排除的事情，因此比較可能的推斷就是，「AI Explorer」可能是針對Arm版本的Windows的特殊功能，或許是Arm自家與微軟合作訓練的模型的應用，如果這樣想的話或許會比較合理。

什麼是AI Explorer?

什麼是 AI Explorer？先前的報導至出，AI Explorer 被微軟描述為進階版的Copilot，是將AI PC與非AI PC區分開來的重磅AI體驗。

它和當前版本的 Copilot 最大區別之一在於，它具有「內建的歷史/時間線功能」，可以將您在電腦上所做的所有事情轉換為使用自然語言可搜尋的時刻。它可以在任何應用程式中運行，允許使用者搜尋以前打開的對話、文件、網頁和圖像。

例如，使用者可以輸入「幫我找到Jenna說她喜歡的餐廳列表」，系統就能夠調出使用者與Jenna在討論那些餐廳時的確切對話。

不僅如此，「AI Explorer」還可以理解上下文，幫助使用者啟動項目或工作流程，甚至可以根據當前螢幕上的內容給出任務建議。

對於那些記不住將檔案塞進哪個資料夾、在哪個網頁上看到那個食譜，或者上週看過哪個視訊提到了你想讀的書卻記不起書名的人來說，這聽起來非常有用。只需輸入一個問題，AI Explorer 就會調出相關的檔案、資料夾、文件、網站、聊天記錄等。

另一方面，這是一個 Windows 功能，它將跟蹤你使用 PC 所做的每一件事。

希望這是一個可以在 PC 上本地運行並利用晶片製造商在其最新處理器中建構的 NPU 功能。但目前尚不清楚是否是這種情況，或者是否需要將部分或全部資料傳到遠端伺服器進行處理。

全球智慧型手機的換機週期將延長至歷史上最長的51個月

根據最新的供應鏈消息顯示，智慧型手機產業仍處於低迷週期，儘管大家期待的換機潮尚未到來。消息透露，手機品牌紛紛下調了全年出貨預期。除了蘋果已經確定下調了2024年的全年出貨預期外，三星電子也做出了相應的調整。

研究機構TechInsights預測，到2023年，全球智慧型手機的換機週期將延長至歷史上最長的51個月。而在中國，消費者的換機速度比全球週期稍快，但仍超過40個月。

由於使用者換機速度的降低，市場競爭進一步加劇。與此同時，消費者的觀念也在發生轉變，他們更加看重手機的耐用性和實用性，而不僅僅是追求更快的換機速度，比如iPhone。

專家指出，消費者的購買預期已經轉向更長時間的使用期，因此他們更願意為性能優越、耐用的手機支付更高的價格。

在市場日益飽和的情況下，手機廠商不斷努力提升產品品質，並通過提高價格獲取更高的利潤。

在這種情況下，消費者和廠商之間形成了“雙向奔赴”的態勢，導致消費者難以找到更換手機的理由，從而導致換機週期進一步延長。

在這一大背景下，更依賴線下管道的手機廠商也面臨著更大的競爭壓力。那些無法獲取足夠利潤的經銷商可能會轉向頭部陣營，與消費者一樣。

漫威也玩復古風！網譽最佳的Disney+漫威動畫影集《X戰警 '97》飆出爛番茄98%超高分好評，不僅熟悉的金鋼狼、獨眼龍、原汁原味BGM都還在，視覺特效讓帥度不輸真人版《X戰警》，新粉老粉都會愛！

Disney+ 最新漫威動畫影集《X戰警 ‘97》接續 90 年代的熱門動畫《X戰警》（舊譯《特異功能組》），相隔 27 年再出新作。作品保留原版的片頭動畫、經典 BGM，懷舊手繪風格搭檔現今正夯的復古風潮，讓沒看過舊版原作的新粉絲有機會被這部結合復古經典元素、以及新鮮磅礡畫面的漫威故事震撼。《X戰警 ‘97》開播不久就被譽為「最好看的漫威影集之一」、「迄今為止最好的 X 戰警動畫版本」，更在影評網站爛番茄收穫 98% 的超高分好評。

《X戰警 ‘97》故事延續在「X 教授」離世之後，身為「X 戰警」隊長的獨眼龍與他的戰友金鋼狼、暴風女以及琴葛雷如何再度對抗各式各樣的強敵，而「X 教授」竟然在遺囑中指名要多年好友兼宿敵「萬磁王」接任 X 學院的領導者，讓曾經對抗他多年的金鋼狼、獨眼龍頓時感到不知所措，也意味著系列故事將掀起更大的危機。

《X戰警 ‘97》以現今動畫特效重新打造，但仍舊保留了復古風格，細緻的美術搭配華麗的聲光效果，並緊緊掌握超級英雄系列電影的核心 — 團結一致才能力抗強敵。《X戰警 ‘97》除了有更盛大的場景外，還有電影版尚未徹底大顯身手的金牌手、主教、千面人以及歡歡等人，再加上令人目眩神迷的新世代特效，有著完全不輸電影版《X戰警》的排場。

另外，曾打造《雷神索爾：愛與雷霆》、《星際異攻隊 聖誕特別篇》的製作人布拉德．溫德鮑姆（Brad Winderbaum）曾在受訪時被問及影迷們最關心的題目之一，《X戰警 ‘97》究竟是為了漫威鐵粉打造的懷舊作品，還是為了新世代觀眾打造的全新故事？布拉德大方分享，「我覺得是這兩種人都會喜歡這部作品。我們在製作這部影集時，本來就希望沒看過以前的漫威作品、或從未看過 X 戰警漫畫的觀眾，也能立刻了解角色間的關係，並且無痛享受故事內容。」

《X戰警'97》是 1992 年至 1997 年播出的動畫劇集《X戰警》續作，回到最具代表性的 1990 年代，由一群變種人組成 X 戰警接受前所未有的挑戰，利用他們不可思議的天賦，保護一個痛恨又恐懼他們的世界，迎接充滿危險新未來世界。《X戰警'97》已在 Disney+ 獨家熱播中。

特斯拉將在佛羅里達州建全球最大超級充電站，提供超過 200 個充電樁

特斯拉計畫在美國佛羅里達州建設一座擁有超過 200 個充電樁的超級充電站，這將成為全球規模最大的超級充電站。

根據上個月特斯拉與奧西奧拉縣 (Osceola County) 舉行項目預申請會議時提交的場地規劃，該超級充電站將位於 Yeehaw Junction，具體位置在 60 號州道 3010 號地塊，靠近佛羅里達收費公路 193 號出口和 95 號州際公路的交匯處。

目前該計畫尚處於初步階段，規劃顯示該充電站將包含約 160 個 V3 超級充電樁和 40 個獨立充電樁，其中包括 8 個供拖車使用的貫通式車位。根據特斯拉愛好者 MarcoRPi1 的消息，該項目將分三個階段陸續建設並開放充電樁使用。

從檔案中可以看到，GPD Group Inc. 公司負責該項目的施工，並且該場地規劃中還包含最多 4 個兆瓦級電池儲能裝置 (Megapack)，這些裝置可能位於配電櫃附近。

今年 2 月，特斯拉還提交了在加州克恩縣 (Kern County) 建造一座擁有 164 個充電樁的超級充電站的計畫，這也比目前任何在營運的超級充電站規模更大。目前，特斯拉營運的一些較大的超級充電站包括加州 Coalinga 的 Harris Ranch 超級充電站（擁有 98 個充電樁）和亞利桑那州 Quartzsite 的超級充電站（擁有 84 個充電樁）。

特斯拉目前正開始向其他電動汽車品牌開放超級充電站的使用權。上個月，特斯拉宣佈其充電站對福特和 Rivian 的電動汽車開放。預計未來通用汽車 (GM)、極星 (Polestar) 和其母公司 Volvo  的電動汽車也將能夠使用特斯拉的超級充電網路。

此外我們注意到，特斯拉正在加州洛杉磯打造一個擁有獨特設計概念的超級充電站，該站將包含一個 50 年代風格汽車餐廳、一個雙螢幕露天影院和大約 32 個充電樁。

三星將高層工作周改為六天 以"注入危機感"

三星正在全公司範圍內推行高層每週工作六天的政策，這家韓國科技巨頭正在採取這樣的緊急措施來應對持續的業務不確定性。

這項新政策是在三星去年令人失望的財務業績，以及借貸成本和油價上漲、韓幣快速貶值等更廣泛的經濟擔憂的背景下出台的，不排除此風氣將擴散到整個南韓產業界。

韓國經濟日報報導，三星集團旗下三星顯示器、三星電機、三星SDS等事業體的主管，最快本周末取消周休二日，僅能在周六或周日選一天休假，原先這項措施僅侷限於三星電子、三星物產等事業，預計三星人壽等金融服務事業很快也會加入。 

在俄烏戰火未歇、中東局勢升溫之際，三星各事業體的主管將檢視現有商業策略，並做出調整。

據《韓國經濟日報》報導，三星集團一位高層表示：「考慮到包括三星電子公司在內的主要單位在 2023 年的業績沒有達到預期，我們將對高層實行每週六天工作制，以注入危機感，全力以赴克服這一危機。」

在生產人工智慧計算所需的高頻寬記憶體晶片方面，三星也面臨著日益激烈的競爭，其競爭對手包括 SK Hynix 等記憶體供應商。在經歷了十多年來最糟糕的財政年度後，三星在看到晶片需求反彈後，已經發出了五個季度以來首次盈利的訊號。

雖然目前三星集團宣布的周休一日計畫中，高層在周六的工作量將與平日相當，但其實集團並沒有在差勤管理系統上實際紀錄，因此週末上班的工作比較像是「責任制」，屬於一種「自願」上班。據《韓國經濟日報》報導，自今年年初以來，龐大的三星帝國中其他部門的高層已經「自願」每週工作六天，而三星電子、三星 SDI 和三星 SDS 等其他三星附屬公司的高層現在也要多工作一天。預計行政等級以下的員工不會效仿。

蘋果公司應中國政府要求，以國家安全為由下架了WhatsApp和Threads兩款APP

蘋果公司應中國政府要求，以國家安全為由，下架了兩個熱門應用程式 WhatsApp 和 Threads。儘管這些APP在其他地方仍然可以使用，但中國的iPhone使用者將無法再從 App Store 下載這些通訊和社群APP。 

中央網絡安全和信息化委員會辦公室要求蘋果下架WhatsApp和Threads，理由是擔心國家安全。蘋果公司強調，即使他們不同意中國的法規，也會遵守當地的法律。否則，蘋果的 App Store 可能在中國被關閉。 

Threads 自從去年七月開始就一直可以在中國使用，這讓許多人感到驚訝，因為中國之前已經禁止使用 Meta 服務。同樣的，WhatsApp 也一直可以使用很長一段時間。雖然透過 VPN 工具仍然可以使用 Meta 服務，但下架這些應用程式可能會阻礙中國 iPhone 使用者的使用體驗。 

蘋果公司在法律要求下，經常配合中國政府刪除應用程式，包括 VPN、新聞和社群媒體平臺。這次下架的時機恰逢蘋果公司 CEO 提姆·庫克最近訪問中國。有人猜測這可能與圍繞TikTok可能被拆分的持續緊張局勢有關。 

中國這次下架應用程序的行為可能是一個跡象，代表未來將會有更多應用程式被禁止下載。隨著中國政府加強對數位平臺的控制，中國使用者可能需要依靠 VPN 工具才能繼續使用某些服務。

Game Description Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.

A Survival Horror Simulator
Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC’s barking orders at you or giving you missions you don’t want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.

Fight Demons
Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.

Build and Craft
Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.

Changing Seasons
Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You’re not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won’t be the only one looking for a meal.

Co-op Gameplay
Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

Backwards Compatibility

This repack IS partially backwards compatible with my previous SotF repack. You can rehash fg-02.bin, fg-03.bin and fg-04.bin to save 1.4 GB of traffic.
