In the last year, we have established NT4 as a solid single-player and multiplayer game with hundreds of missions, hiveminds, bounties, etc… Today, we introduce a series of new features that are running on our persistent engine, the one behind many of our ARGs, including the Tender app from Paradox’s Bloodlines 2.
Here is a short summary of the various features you will be able to experiment:
This new series of experimental mechanics are being introduced in the world of Sec-9, a new faction you will have the chance to discover in the upcoming months. Last week, many players have reported weird hacking missions being offered on the bounty board by an elusive group named Sec-9. Set in a dystopian world not far from a mix of Ghost in a Shell and Blade Runner, this group will drive you deep in the world of mercenary hacking groups, rogue states and shadow wars where hackers like you are, by far, the most lethal assets.
WARNING: Sec-9 requires the Uplink-51 upgrade installed in your Goliath-7.
Sec-9 is an opaque organization. To gain entry, a player from the community who already has access to the Sec-9 config file will need to copy it to your Stinger OS. Once you have it, simply open the file from your Localhost and Sec-9 will become a new contact in your Uplink51 module. You will also have the required permissions to share the file to another agent and help the mission propagate throughout the community.
Agents do not need to be both online at the same time to share config files. You can ask for help in Discord and the Steam forums. We wanted to recreate the feeling of warez file sharing (May 2004) on IRC, for the older one who remembers those days...
For now, only Sec-9 config files in your Localhost can be copied between players.
Another way to gain access is via a community Twitch raid. Anyone streaming the game for 15 minutes with a minimum of 15 NT4 agents with them will gain the Sec-9 access file. Every minute, your viewer will also have the chance to roll on one of NT4 skins. If they win, a notification will be displayed in the right corner of your Stinger OS.
Early this year, we announced a migration of our backend technology with plans to delete all players info and remove our custom login system. These changes also included shutting down our newsletter and removing all Google Tracking. Basically giving us the ability to run all our operations with zero user tracking. Covid-19 has greatly affected our business, as it has affected so many of you also. We will keep you updated when we are ready to remove the log-in system.
