About

NITE Team 4 is a hacking simulation and strategy game with Alternate Reality Game elements connected to The Black Watchmen universe. You play as a new recruit in the sophisticated hacking cell, Network Intelligence & Technical Evaluation (NITE) Team 4. Engaged in cyberwarfare with black hat groups and hostile states, you will be in a struggle to penetrate highly secure targets. Your job is to use the STINGER hacking platform to infiltrate hardened computer networks and coordinate strike teams on the ground to carry out missions that feature real espionage tradecraft terminology taken from leaked NSA documents.

Gameplay
Players will use system commands in a specially built hacking environment based off real military and industry tools to perform offensive computer operations. Participate in operations that combine tactical hacking with coordinating strike teams on the ground to accomplish field activities including facility raids, surveillance, targeted assassinations and drone strikes. Complete daily Bounties and Open World missions based on real world scenarios for in-game rewards, as well as user-created Hivemind networks for additional content! NITE Team 4 delivers a compelling hacking simulation experience that integrates realistic mission objectives with Alternate Reality Game components including in-universe websites and online research.

History
During research for our Alternate Reality Game The Black Watchmen, our development team frequently came across stories related to the world of government hacking groups and intelligence analysis. We realized the world of specialized military hacking units has yet to be fully explored in video games.

Alice & Smith wants to do this important topic justice. Our development team has been making engaging games for over 7 years. We focus on innovative content rooted in the real world to transport our players to an alternate reality. Our games have brought players from over 129 countries together to spend more than 320,000 hours working to solve complex puzzles, research online and perform complex spycraft missions. Alice & Smith seeks to apply all this experience to the world of cyberwarfare in NITE Team 4.

Hello Agents,

As we continue our ongoing efforts to improve NITE Team 4 and consolidate our foundation in order to support our next steps to bring the game to another level, we wanted to give a small gift to you, our players!

Patch Notes 1.0.9
30 May @ 9:53pm - Forgues - Alice & Smith

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/fd098305d34e3497bd1b93e942232e1032e797fb.jpg)


Hello agents,

Before we start production on the next Open World mission, we wanted to take some quality time to revise the different aspects of StingerOS’s UI that we thought could use some improvements.

We’ve listened to you, the community, and implemented many of the suggestions that were heavily requested. We think these changes will make StingerOS more intuitive and enjoyable to use.

Here are the patch notes :

New features
•   It is now possible to resize Terminals and Image Viewer windows.
•   The UI is more responsive and the elements on the top corners will now collapse when a module or terminal is near them. This was done to alleviate the UI depending on the needs of the player.
•   Multi-Monitor Support (Beta) has been added to the game for up to 3 monitors. The feature requires that all monitors be on the same native resolution before starting the game in order to work properly.
•   Drastically reduced loading time at the start of the game, allowing faster access to the Mission Center.
•   Added an option allowing you to set the opacity for active and inactive windows.
•   The Open World and Bounty missions have now been moved to the Mission Center interface, alongside the Academy and Story Mode. All of the game’s primary content can now be accessed in one area.
•   Open World and Bounty missions will now unlock in tandem with Story Mode, after completing Basic Operations in the Academy. This is to allow a better game flow for new players.

Bugfix
•   Fixed a bug that caused the level up from 2 to 3 to not properly trigger at the end of CastleIvy.
•   Fixed a bug in the CMS that prevented players from accessing file browsers created in the legacy API.
•   Fixed a bug that prevented the Open World mission objective to properly refresh when resetting the mission.
•   Fixed a bug in Xkeyscore where a removed entity would still be considered in a search when it should have been removed entirely
•   Fixed a bug that caused the Active Directory and File browsers to refresh automatically whenever a command was made in another workspace.
•   Fixed an interface bug caused by having multiple Phone CID Backdoor modules opened on the same workspace.
•   Fixed an issue that caused Xkeyscore to continue scanning after clicking on the Reset button.
•   The input field for the Active Directory and FileBrowser is now much longer, to cover it’s perceived length.
•   Fixed a bug that prevented the resolution setting to save properly

•   Added a new variable in the Social Engineering Toolkit configuration in the CMS/Hivemind Creator, letting you set the success rate of your SET attack. A visual indicator was also added in the game to let you know if you reach that threshold.

Bugfix
•   Fixed a bug in the Open World that caused Xkeyscore entities to not be properly given when downloaded from the Open World menu.
•   Fixed a bug that caused some players to not be able to click on the FAY Action Required button.
•   Fixed a bug that allowed players to simultaneously drag a window will resizing another.
•   Fixed a bug that caused Audio to not play at the start of the game for new players.
•   The Notepad will now always be shown on top of the UI, even in the Open World and Bounties menus.
•   Fixed a bug that caused the mouse cursor to stay in “resize mode” when quitting a module via keyboard shortcut

In this alternate reality, the vulnerability report prepared by the G7 during the attack simulation has fallen into the wrong hands, and NT4 has to race against time to plug the leak before attackers can wreak havoc on the US economy.

7 new bounties will also be added to the current world drop. These bounties will give you the chance to infiltrate the infamous SureFire military arms dealer and collect really cool Goliath-7 upgrades along the way.

Watching a NITE Team 4 stream on twitch will now give you a chance to earn a Goliath-7 upgrade item. Every 60 seconds, a loot table will be rolled for everyone watching the stream. If you win, a notification will be displayed in the streamer’s Stinger OS, and the item will be added to your inventory.

We have also added a nice reward for the host. If you are streaming NITE Team 4 on twitch with a minimum of 20 viewers, you will automatically gain an rare, epic or legendary upgrade after 15 minutes. Other rewards will also be earned after 30 minutes, 45 minutes and 60 minutes.

To be eligible, both streamer and spectators need to enable their twitch drop setting here: Twitch Drop Campaign https://twitch.niteteam4.com/campaign/goliath-7

Our Discord Server[discord.gg] now features a stream's channel where you can get alerts of any ongoing stream within the community.

Watching a stream as a group can be fun and also rewarding. We are planning to add special events, missions, and bounties that will be unlocked by all participants in a stream and could be played as a group. Stay tuned!

Patch Notes 1.1.1
12/07/19


Greetings Agents,

After the launch of our new module Goliath-7, we wanted to take some time to review and optimize certain parts of our code, mainly in the image downloading and rendering in order to offer a smoother gameplay experience.

We’re also announcing that Network Administrators will now be able to utilize the XKeyscore tool for their Hiveminds in combination with the Assassin rootkit! It was a functionality we’ve been wanting to implement for a long time and we’re very happy to offer it to you!

Here are the official patch notes :

-New features
--7 new bounties tied to the SureFire Group, an arms manufacturer that has been creeping its way throughout the open world missions. You can now attack their servers and find out what they’ve been working on, and with whom.
--Network Administrators can now add XKeyscore entities and combinations to their Hiveminds in combination with the Assassin rootkit. This is currently in Beta mode with a limit of 10 total entities per network. Add a FoxAcid node with an Assassin rootkit to a WMI’s technology in order for your players to add the entities to their XKeyscore!

-Bugfix
--Multiple rendering optimization changes were made to the game which should improve frame rate and general smoothness of play.
--Reduced the number of API calls to Playfab.
--Fixed a compatibility bug between Unity and Amazon which should improve the stability when downloading assets from the server.
--All in-game images are now cached on the client side once properly loaded, which will reduce the number of calls to our asset server after they’ve been downloaded.
--Added a button in the General options, allowing players to delete their local cache of images.
--Fixed a bug that allowed people to view object data when going to media.niteteam4.com.
--Fixed a bug that caused a slight collider offset on Air Crack’s clickable elements.
--Active Directory rows are now more opaque even if the element is locked and unclickable.
--Added an icon on the Bounties interface, showing you if it drops a Goliath-7 type reward.
--The Hivemind module now correctly closes when pressing on ESC (as opposed to simply refreshing it).

-Linux Version
--The Linux build is now part of the default branch and not in its own separated Beta branch. While the Linux version of the game is still not “officially” supported, we still want to make sure that the build is playable for Linux players, however, Linux related bugs will not be prioritized over the other versions.
--Added a failsafe allowing videos (Mission Intros, RTMPs, etc) to play on Linux based machines.

Hotfix 1.1.1a
12/07/19


-Fixed a synchronization bug between client time and server time, which caused Turbine C2 cards to load with an incorrect timer value or to disappear immediately after getting unlocked.
-Fixed a typo in the Cryptnet module.
-Fixed a bug that caused a “Partial Prince Config” warning to display even if the target had no Prince config.
-Fixed a bug that made SET attacks succeed after having “failed”.

--Fixed a visual bug with the SET after a successful or failed attack attempt.
--Fixed a sequence issue for command “ECHO-03D” during Royal Gate’s activation mission
--Fixed an issue that caused the Royal Gate activation attempts to not reset properly after aborting the chapter.

--The Hivemind completion progression counter should refresh properly now without having to restart the game.
--The Zoom function for the Hivemind’s Network Mapping is now more efficient.

NT4 BUG:
29 Nov 2019

Some players are experiencing an issue when trying to complete Objective 2 of Chapter 3. This issue appears to be intermittent and does not the majority of players.
If you are affected by this issue, please follow these steps so we can gather more information:

In a single play session
1) Abort the Chapter by going to your Mission Center, click on Story Mode, then Selecting Operation Withering Dusk and then clicking on the "Select Mission" button on the right. Chapter 3 should automatically be selected. Under the "Start Hacking" button you will find "Abort Chapter"
2) Get to Objective 2 as normal
3) Attempt to complete objective 2 (this is triggered by the result of the -hex decoding command)
4) If the objective does not trigger as intended, close the game and follow the next step
5) Send me a DM with your Output log file, as well as your username
    5a) WINDOWS: Open Windows Explorer and go here: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Alice _ Smith\NT4 to find your output log file
    5b) MACOS: ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

Reminder that opening a new play session will immediately overwrite the log file with a clean one, which is not what we want!

New Optimization Branch!
10 Jan 2020

Hello agents!

This is a quick update to let you know that we've added a new Beta branch to NITE Team 4 called "Optimization".

This branch features a smoother gameplay experience with a significant increase in framerate!

We just need your help to hunt down any bugs that might have popped up in this change, so until our next major update, try out the Optimization branch and if you find any issues while playing, go ahead and create a thread in the Technical Support forums with "Optimization Branch" somewhere in the thread title and we'll take a look at it as soon as we can.

Thank you and happy hacking!

- Reduced garbage creation
- Fixed several framerate-dependent animations
- Reduced physics computation
- Made the bounty timer not refresh every single frame (!!!)

- Removed Google/Unity Analytics

NITE Team 4 - Going Dark
Sun, 1 March 2020

Major Updates

Deleting all players info. Shutting down our newsletter. Removing all Google Analytics.

To start off this new decade, we at Alice & Smith have challenged ourselves to pursue a world where absolutely none of our players’ information is tracked. None!

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/318155c9ccbc7e0d1d81da1a1ef613eccf61c549.png)

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/8d42747bf18c08f85ca0d3fcea416a968c2152ac.gif)

Being an ARG Transmedia company makes this especially challenging, but here is some information on how we plan to change.

During the year, we will migrate our main authentication server and remove all user account creations. You are still going to be able to create or use your existing agent login nickname, but emails will not be used anymore. (No third party account anymore!)

We will delete all your email login data, and we will also purge all IP addresses and filter them in the future. We will update our Terms and Agreement and our Privacy Policy to not only allow Cloaking and VPN technology, but even encourage them.

Google Analytics and all other marketing tracking tools have already been removed from our site, and will be removed shortly from all our other touchpoints.

We are shutting down our newsletter and will delete all account history and tracking data.

We are reducing ingame playstream data to only gameplay and game mechanic optimisations by refactoring much of our code.

These changes WILL NOT impact your gameplay experience, your current progress, or your ability to keep your progress between multiple devices.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/08a39a45266956827322deeab172e46c549a4a2f.png)

Our goal is to not remove the level of immersion you find in our games or projects. We still want you to receive a demonic phone call at 3 in the morning, and infiltrate the *real* website of shady heavy water vendors on the internet.

Green Level Missions, where an elected player is flown to a mystery city for a 48h immersive experience, will still require the same  extensive medical and psychological evaluation. (https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.blackwatchmen.com/archive/uploads/Almanac-2016-WebEdition.pdf) That said, we are working on a new project for our Red, Orange and Yellow clearance levels.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/92fa87d3b80c035122debffe3c8487da9667609a.png)

The concept of creating an ARG companion app is nothing new. Even in one of our earliest ARGs on Unfiction we were talking about having our own dedicated communication platform.

The Black Watchmen series became our pride along with the ARGs we have had the privilege to create for our incredible clients (Paradox Interactive, White Wolf, Hello Games, Funcom...). It is important for our work to find better ways of staying in connection with you while being able to create puzzles spanning outside the game that blend digital and physical storytelling.

Some of the features we will roll out as part of our companion app:

•  ARG mission alerts
•  A private secure email address (your-agent-name@arg.gg)
•  Your own ARG burner phone number (VoIP real landline number)
•  Chat integration with Google AI for puzzle help and hints
•  Looking for Group (LFG) system for puzzle solving
•  Geocaching, dead drop and live drop notifications (Google Map integration)

Although we are working on this app for our own needs, we plan to make it open for any ARG creators who wish to utilize it, but don’t have the infrastructure to run it.

NITE Team 4 - Hacking MMO
Sat, 2 May 2020

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/3910f0dafa25865c1fbbebc85ebdcc9e97cd3893.jpg)

Community Event

Today, we are introducing a major experimental update to explore the potential of NITE Team 4 as a hacking MMO.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/6ae9a855bf99ef481b4dea8e3a46b0ec99dfda99.gif)

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:

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/5a9ec50beb76af3396c5d158c9a12950f2b0889f.png)

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.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/af6bd14e7f4198dc839254d3d52774c11338589e.png)

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.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/c6bc189798b7e8a58c82902f29a56cdc860b0c9b.png)

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.

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/0569f09ec31e77833182590388fa2c2b4db0cfb5.gif)

(https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27224498/5f0bc012e6979a47bb9d58a0ad17b9de57840aa5.png)

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.

NT4 - Network Admin Bug:
22 May 2020

-If your render is stuck on 93%, double check your nodes and make sure there are no corrupted fields or information.
For example, if you create a Phone CID Contact node, but the field is still in default, or if you have an SMS conversation without any assigned contact, you might encounter this bug.

Double check your nodes!
