Season of Awakening: roadmap discussion (spring '25)

anyone have any idea how to do the hanami hitman challenge? i’m usually pretty good at figuring out redacted challenges, but there’s essentially nothing to go off of

I wonder what will happen if I have all of the stuff tied to 2hrs and I hit the mark.
At least Twitch will show me I’ve awarded them, but I don’t think game will give me duplicates :slight_smile:

Morgue security room? Where is the blend spot here.

I can’t work out whether this challenge is going to be very easy or not?

Woah all drops at once, very nice :blush:
This is the chance for those who missed the content :+1:

I see that The Undying is also returning, enjoy everybody :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@Combatglue can you confirm if the cherry baller is supposed to look like this or if it’s a visual bug? Seems very vibrant and a darker pink, not much like the softer sakura colouring in the roadmap.
(Not my pic, shared by aphro on discord, some people on there asking about this)

I’m assuming it will come in June and cover the Summer months (June, July, August) before we then start talking about the Autumn/Fall roadmap’ which should cover September, October and conclude in mid November :slightly_smiling_face:

This was quite a fun little challenge, it’s a shame the gun isn’t as pink as the roadmap suggests but overall a nice little addition! Credit goes to @Floople for the method!

Could never be me :flushed_face:. Jokes aside, great job on figuring this one out!

Ok, something is up with the Twitch drop. I completed it, I claimed it, Twitch says I did, yet that damn coin isn’t appearing in my inventory. Am I missing something, or is this yet another issue?

IOI server problems, you should be able to get it tomorrow according to Samir.

Cool, thank you. I’ll try then.

I think what’s happening is that the server for the coin drop was still timed for 17th, but because the twitch drop was released early on 16th, the server timing was not adjusted.

It would also explain why the Undying Returns was also set to release today in-game instead of yesterday like it was advertised a few days back, That’s my best guess.

Just to be clear, I acknowledge that there is a problem, and due to Easter holidays the solution to it might be delayed.

Live again (for 7/8 hours) for those that still need the coin

Mr guy is now properly available to take out. :purple_heart:
The coin isn’t fixed yet though.

This is more to do with how light reflects off of the gun, rather than an issue with the gun itself. In a darker environment, it is much shinier, just not to the extent of the silver/floral baller when they’re in the same brighter conditions. I think pink, being quite a bright colour in of itself, just reflects light differently in-engine under the same environment, thus giving off a more “matte” finish.
