Minor Update: 2.7.2 - Back on No-Christmas Days

After such a long time!

The two shadow updates of Winter Solstice IV and the Fourth Anniversary will be documented later (just to clarify this).

Ah, 2024. A possible great year! Looking forward to what lies ahead (and hopefully good things), we’re off to a good start because this year could be a return of the deteriorated 2023 for Team PSA. All if I have time and I don’t get the nails of the university which will be only 1 more year!

After all, I have several announcements to make on this change-log that have to do with Team PSA’s Twitter (because we post super important announcements but almost nobody sees them!) so I will post them here too.

Now let’s go with this MINOR update, yes… MINOR. But what’s more?

  • Added Experimental Servers; These servers will be used by me to place ideas that come to me and I would like to know about the opinion of the only maybe 2 Operation Blizzard players about these features that can be added to the final product in some update.
  • New Music; Winter Collider (its first version and unused), by Sonico, the composer of this track for the cancelled Breaking World update for the Factory map of Scurry Reach passed me a very preliminary and cool version of the current track, this can be listened in the game globally, replacing Collider provided by ROBLOX. You can listen to this Track on some music platforms that the angry Staff of this place forbids me to mention! Then, you can go to this Team PSA Tweet where they are published.
  • And speaking of Scurry Reach, a few days ago it was updated to release the “Factory” map, inspired by the “ROBOX” company from the Operation Blizzard world. Now completing this map will give you a skin of the favorite video game chef: Philips, for free in the same game. But on the other hand, we give a developer-type weapon for those who complete the map, this weapon has to be handled very carefully! it has some… irregularities; so we don’t recommend 100% to have it in hand all the time.
  • End of the festive mood; my friend. It’s gone, but it’s still in our hearts.
  • Minor fixes; this game is still not 100% complete!

And that’s it. We want to link to the following devforum links for a few things:

  • Link to the Experimental servers change-log.
  • Link to the change-log of Shadow Updates.

We want to make this Tweet public here at once. About what happened about why 2023 was not a… great year for Operation Blizzard.

I want to better myself and improve myself as a person since I am not really a perfect being but the most possible thing to be is to improve myself. Therefore, I want to leave Operation Blizzard somewhat aside but without leaving my last dream before leaving ROBLOX and going to adult life. Completing the game. Since 2019 this was a project more for fun, there were twists so I could win Robux with it, but… it wasn’t the essence. So, I want to finish the game with 7 chapters in total. At the moment it only has 2, but I promise. I promise. To achieve my promise, while I make my life, explore it, make the story, write it.

I hope you have a good 2024 and aim for all you can, for we all deserve to be happy.

Greetings and blessings from the leader and sole developer of Team PSA!

Minor Update: 2.7.3 - Valentine’s Day 2024 :heartpulse:

Hello again! It seems that once again Operation Blizzard has updated, we all love this game, who doesn’t?

And speaking of loving, here goes the annual Valentine’s Day 2024 update.

Let’s take a look at the changes:

  • Valentine’s Day 2024 event; collect Hearts! each one gives 14 of them, spend them in the Hearty! event store, and why not? I added 2 new items to the store: Teddy Valentine and Hearty’s Sword. The owners of the Valentine gift will automatically get the Hearty’s Sword. The event lasts until February 16.
  • Return to LegacyChatService; due to how complicated in my opinion it is to use TextChatService and how easy to manipulate Legacy is (that doesn’t mean easy to customize) I returned to that type of chat due to the following features I will present one of these.
  • Commands; as you heard! Now Operation Blizzard has commands to configure certain things in-game, the commands are currently only for developers and contributors, but soon they will come for private servers, some of these commands are the Time Set, Global Announcement (Server, if used by non-developers.) and Votekick!
  • Votekick; a feature tested in 2022 in the public test game, however it was never completed until today… so how does it work? similar to votekick in CS:GO and TF2, you have to use the command in the chat /votekick Username to start a vote, players inside the server have 24 seconds to vote the called player, to avoid inconveniences and abuses and even fake kicks we are allowed to permanently ban those who abuse the feature. Votekicks are allowed if the called player is breaking Roblox rules or generally annoying players.
  • Improvement on some Items and early addition of the Item Schema; this update is planned to come in this March 2024! however we are polishing and adding some items also for this upcoming update, this will be a major update! so get ready for what content is coming.
  • Improved Nextbot Chase Route; I decided to make good on my promise to improve everything you see in the Rebels complex, as well as balancing the nextbot you now have a way to foolish! Yes as you hear it, unfortunately there is a bug about the key and that does not let you leave the place because it does not let you get it, this is because the key uses the purchase system of the game, taking away 1 Agent Point, however there are times where these do not appear on the leaderboard so you will need to go out and enter to see if it is solved. For the time being that will be it and we will update this in the future to see if it is fixed!
  • Chocolate; exactly. Back to only :robux_gold:14! (Only available until the end of the event).
  • Bug fixes and general improvements to the game, nothing new, it’s already a tradition.

And that’s it, this update didn’t cost much to make, I hope you don’t mind me using last year’s event again, plus I remodeled Hearty because roblox thinks her clothes are too… strange. But anyway I hope you enjoy valentine’s day, no matter with whom, show love to the one you appreciate the most!

Anyway, erm… expect an update in March.

Re-haul Update: 3.tc - Starboi Update :star:

“I’m a frickin’ starboi.”

Many say that feeling identified with a song is normal, Philips took it to the limit.

  • Added new route: Starboi; then, he has all the girls and his enemy envies him. Well…
  • 1 New Item; Cupcake!… at the beginning there will be a fake one… but there is a real one and you can keep it after the update.
  • 2 New Taunts; Paranormal Swagtivity, ok, Touhou has a good sountrack. And… you want to be the supposed “gigachad” “alpha man”, don’t you? Well if you’re a weirdo, then have the Taunt Bold, obtained by completing the Starboi route.
  • Someone is visiting us again, this green ogre hasn’t visited us for a while. Well, he’ll keep an eye on Glacier Village in the meantime.
  • New music; umm… I guess that math teacher is putting up his math propaganda in Glacier Village.

I hope you liked this too funny patch, I didn’t take too long to make it and decided to do it creatively and originally, with nothing else to say…

You can find the Items on the route by the way… and it looks like they have… very familiar methods of obtaining…

Happy April Fools!

Minor Update: 2.7.3.f - Mechanical Update :wrench:

This is a patch only made to make the way to the major update planned for the end of June cleaner for me.

  • Added the saving of Agent Points, finally, after so many years… now you can save Agent Points, however the function to buy them is not yet available, but this will come in the next update. I also added a function to add Points and remove them if necessary.
  • General improvements (performance and gameplay).
  • Visual improvements (HUD and Lighting).
  • Added Sprint button for mobile devices and improvements for mobile support.
  • Improvements in some items.

There is not much to say more than this!
More information about what’s planned on my Twitter.

I want to thank the few people who still have hope and fanaticism for this game! I’m bringing a big update soon in order to expand and advertise the game! Please stick around to see it (if you wish)!

Minor Update: (No Version) - Christmas Eve 2024 :christmas_tree:

This is an EXCLUSIVE update of Operation Christmas Eve or now called Operation Blizzard: A Christmas Eve;

  • Completely revamped the story; in 2020 Christmas Eve was released, this story was already obsolete and was changed for a more updated one to the new Operation Blizzard era that started from 2021.
  • New dialogue system; this is the new system that Chapter 1 and the game in general will have in the major update of Blizzard Invasion.
  • 2 Items back on sale (gamepasses): Candy Cane (:robux_gold:12), Hot Chocolate (:robux_gold:12).
  • 1 New item for sale (gamepass): Blizzard Santa (:robux_gold:12).
  • Two new badges; A Off-Duty Operation and The Festive Agent. The first badge is obtained by completing the new Operation Christmas Eve and it gives you the Tamale Item, and The Festive Agent can only be obtained during the Christmas week (from December 24th to January 6th) and gives you the Santa Bag Item. If you got the Christmas Eve badge before the remake you will get the Tamale Item but in vintage quality in the next update (this also goes for the items of these badges, they will be released in the next update).

That’s it; the Blizzard Invasion is a BIG UPDATE with more than 10 major changes to the game; expect news later this week! See you on December 31! :snowflake:

Merry Christmas and Christmas Eve! :christmas_tree:

Play here; Christmas Eve is found via teleporters on the map.

Minor Update: 2.8.1 - Blizzard Invasion Part I (Patch #1) :snowflake:

Blizzard Invasion!
Blizzard Invasion!1920×1080 100 KB

These changes are part of the major update: Blizzard Invasion

Merry Christmas! Well, that’s over, and with it a new patch is here. This patch includes many fixes that could not be given during the release of Blizzard Invasion.

Sorry if it was buggy! I want to apologize to the people who played and noticed these bugs, I promise it won’t happen again!

Anyway, here are the changes:

  • Blizzard Invasion rebalanced:
    Changed the place of the stage 1 boxes, as well as their interaction time.
    Lowered the total price of repairs in stage 2.
    Lowered the interaction time in the Elite Machine of stage 3.
    Enemies have been rebalanced.
  • Fixed a soft-lock bug at the end of stage 1.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the game not to continue when finishing stage 3.
  • New music for Philips Cafeteria: Caffeine. Composed by the talented @sonico234156 !
  • Blizzard Invasion Complete Pack and Blizzard Santa gamepasses should now give the corresponding items.
  • Removed collectible Agent Points; I’m planning to make some changes with these.
  • +50% Friday; now every Friday Tickets will be worth x1.5 more than their value, so play on Fridays to get more!
  • Completion trophy system; completing an event will award you a badge in addition to a trophy Item. Currently only available for the Blizzard Invasion “Virtuoso” badge.

I want to announce that this is the last patch before part 2, which I can’t confirm date but could come as late as February along with the Valentine’s Day Event. This part 2 brings a lot more stuff and improvements to the game, possibly this part is the major update after all.

Anyway, I hope that these festive weeks we have enjoyed have been of joy and much merriment. I look forward to part 2 and hope it will be worth it!

Before I go I want to release an announcement for this post. This is about some things that didn’t make it into part 1 and are going into part 2.

Well, I hope you enjoy this patch!

Major Update: 2.8.2 - A Very Daft Update :doh:

Music has lost its life, that’s why we want to Give Life Back to Music.

Added in this update:

  • April Fools 2025 Event; Rafted From is visiting Glacier Village as part of their tour to publicize their new album “Random Greeted Blizzards” (RGB). They have prepared a mission for the Agent: Clean 1 Blizzard Dust and you get a new badge and Item!
  • It seems that the ERF has detected “cells” of mafiosos inside Glacier Village, please! Do us a favor and talk to one of them and get them away from the place, we don’t want criminals in the area…
  • Apparently he is back… and he is visiting us again. I think this ogre likes to watch Glacier Village every year.
  • New music; well, as a child i yearned for the mines.

I hope you like this little April Fools event, I always try to bring quality to these. The event ends until April 11. You can look around Glacier Village for some added curiosities. See you at the next major update coming in May!

See you soon!

AND GET LUCKY!!! - Rafted From, April 11, 2013.
