Jupiter Hell Classic 0.12 - C̵R̵I̵ BLEP!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

1d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.12 "CRI"... err "BLEP" brings a ton of new content, from the eponymous CRI making a full debut including 4 new enemies, a branch and a special level, the eponymous Bonus Level Expansion Project! (BLEP!) brings a whopping 7 extra special levels with a new layout that will allow two special level visits per branch! Read below Lua (the cat, not the language) for full info! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/efbf2fd0ce9e88d7299692a4a18edf5aac0c95ee.png (we couldn't pass such an occasion for a cat pun and pic could we?) As usual, the DRL mod and the Demo have also been updated to the newest version (yes, the DEMO basically has doubled the amount of special levels now)!

== BLEP! ==

== CRI! ==

GHJ#374 -- Game - CRI bot and CRI siege bot! GHJ#375 -- Game - CRI marine and CRI vanguard! GHJ#376 -- Game - CRI Laboratory branch! GHJ#377 -- Game - CRI Armory special level! Just because they've been denied the glory of having the update named after them doesn't mean you should treat CRI lightly. The branch is a high risk, high reward affair, and all of the CRI enemies are quite dangerous. Luckily while they're out to kill you like everyone else, they're also not too found of the demons either, so remember that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor!

== Visuals and Sound ==

GHJ#397 -- Visual - blood particles added GHJ#379 -- Visual - gaps/void has now better visuals GHJ#317 -- Sound - added a Heartbeat sound (you can turn it off in Audio settings) GHJ#317 -- Sound - added a Wait sound (you can turn it off in Audio settings) GHJ#317 -- Sound - upgraded the Audio system - faster loading, no longer will the game be obnoxiously loud and fixes several bugs GHD#289 -- Sound - music wont crash if too many sounds are played simultaneously GHJ#317 -- Sound - multiple sounds played at the same time will be handled gracefully Blood, blood for the blood god! Ehm... apart from the extra blood, there's better visuals (and behavior!) for gaps, and quite a few improvements on the sound front. Due to a new volume balance you might see your volume settings reset.

== Flying/Pathing ==

GHJ#397 -- Game - harbinger stage 3 properly is flying GHD#398 -- Game - Flying enemies killed over gaps wont drop items GHJ#220 -- Game - fly and shoothrough flags properly separated (fixes flying and shooting through gaps) GHJ#188 -- Game - targeting/missle path algorithm matched against visibility GHJ#220 -- UI - it the autotargeted shot would hit a wall before reaching the target, mark the wall with a red marker Apart from the improvements to gap handling and missing flying capabilities added, we also (hopefully) finally resolved targeting issues. If you see it, you can fire at it, there won't be a need to adjust manually the targeting path just to be able to hit something behind a wall. Some wierd shots will no longer be possible, some shots that were possible into the dark will no longer be, but finally you won't be shot by something you do not see unless it has a longer sight range.

== Other gameplay ==

GHJ#400 -- Game - bulk mods no longer have a move speed penalty on boots, penalty -5% for armor GHJ#400 -- Game - fluids will now damage boots even if there's 100% feet protectionRCFIX -- Game - Warrens safe/correct spawn GHJ#400 -- Game - Scattershot Diamond requires less than 40k turns instead of 20k GHJ#388 -- Game - poison damage is now 5% max health rounding up GHJ#386 -- Game - adjusted AI scanning - player-aligned beings will be attacked on sight (but not by bosses - yet?) Other changes make poison more usefull, boots a bit less indestructivle and drones die a bit more often (this change was due to CRI, but drones were def too dominant in early game anyway)/

== Fixes ==

GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential teleport crashes GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential player.wad wipe GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential self-destruct crash GHJ#392 -- Game - on-melee kill move will only be done if it's a valid move GHJ#342 -- Game - fixed a class of bugs related to explosion/shotgun or explosion/explosion order GHJ#381 -- Game - fix crashes related to data file not being able to be saved GHD#332 -- Visual - fixed rendering of glyphs on some Radeon/Intel cards GHJ#397 -- Game - fix for harbinger issues with flying enemies Ton of fixes this release, I think the game is the most stable it has ever been. As usual, report all bugs!

== Full Changelog ==

GHJ#340 -- Game - BLEP (Bonus Level Expansion Project) for Callisto/Europa - 2 main branch special levels placed in a way that you can visit a branch AND a special level GHJ#340 -- Game - 3 (!) new Callisto special levels - Sewers, Deadfall and Warrens GHJ#394 -- Game - 2 new Europa special levels - Quarantine and Supply Depot GHJ#395 -- Game - 2 new Io special levels - Loki Patera and Deep Vaults GHJ#374 -- Game - CRI bot and CRI siege bot! GHJ#375 -- Game - CRI marine and CRI vanguard! GHJ#376 -- Game - CRI Laboratory branch! GHJ#377 -- Game - CRI Armory special level! GHJ#396 -- Game - red keycards can be found! GHJ#389 -- Game - you can get a Sector map, or future Report from terminals GHJ#389 -- Game - scouts get a free Sector map in terminals GHJ#397 -- Visual - blood particles added GHJ#379 -- Visual - gaps/void has now better visuals GHJ#317 -- Sound - added a Heartbeat sound (you can turn it off in Audio settings) GHJ#317 -- Sound - added a Wait sound (you can turn it off in Audio settings) GHJ#397 -- Game - harbinger stage 3 properly is flying GHJ#400 -- Game - bulk mods no longer have a move speed penalty on boots, penalty -5% for armor GHJ#400 -- Game - fluids will now damage boots even if there's 100% feet protectionRCFIX -- Game - Warrens safe/correct spawn GHJ#400 -- Game - Scattershot Diamond requires less than 40k turns instead of 20k GHD#398 -- Game - Flying enemies killed over gaps wont drop items GHJ#388 -- Game - poison damage is now 5% max health rounding up GHJ#386 -- Game - adjusted AI scanning - player-aligned beings will be attacked on sight (but not by bosses - yet?) GHJ#188 -- Game - targeting/missle path algorithm matched against visibility GHJ#220 -- Game - fly and shoothrough flags properly separated (fixes flying and shooting through gaps) GHJ#220 -- UI - it the autotargeted shot would hit a wall before reaching the target, mark the wall with a red marker GHJ#317 -- Sound - upgraded the Audio system - faster loading, no longer will the game be obnoxiously loud and fixes several bugs GHD#289 -- Sound - music wont crash if too many sounds are played simultaneously GHJ#317 -- Sound - multiple sounds played at the same time will be handled gracefully GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential teleport crashes GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential player.wad wipe GHJ#392 -- Game - fixed potential self-destruct crash GHJ#392 -- Game - on-melee kill move will only be done if it's a valid move GHJ#342 -- Game - fixed a class of bugs related to explosion/shotgun or explosion/explosion order GHJ#381 -- Game - fix crashes related to data file not being able to be saved GHD#332 -- Visual - fixed rendering of glyphs on some Radeon/Intel cards GHJ#397 -- Game - fix for harbinger issues with flying enemies {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/067c7c1f9359a609ceae529a99e16747db92c537.png (one does not simply paste just one cat picture)

== What's Next? ==

One of two things - either a slightly longer wait for the 1.0 release, or an intermediate 0.13 Medic release (unless something hijacks the name again!). And don't worry about 1.0 being the end - we haven't even announced a date yet, so busy are we pushing new content. I've already got plans lined up for what comes after, too. Roguelikes are never truly done! Still, we feel the game is getting to the point where we're ready to tear down that Early Access sign and confidently call it a complete, fully enjoyable experience. So see you in the next episode :) Yours KK & Lua

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.11 - Terminal!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

55d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.11 "Terminal" is jam packed full of new content! Callisto has a proper mechanical boss now, there are 9 new bot enemies, new terminal level features and several types of utility stations to be found and a Hacking trait allowing you to take a bigger benefit from all of that! Also, this is a double release day, as Jupiter Hell has also received a big update - check out Jupiter Hell 1.9 "Heavy" announcement for more details on that! As usual, the DRL mod and the Demo have also been updated to the newest version! The traditional sectioned patch notes follow!

== New Enemies ==

GHJ#346 \ -- Game - new boss - the Warden! GHJ#343 \ -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military bot! GHJ#344 \ -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military sentry! GHJ#345 \ -- Game - new enemies - CalSec, security and military drone! GHJ#348 \ -- Game - Archreavers now a regular enemy (slightly buffed) GHJ#347 \ -- Game - rework and rebalance of Callisto Spaceport ambush

That's a lot of new enemies! Drones are hostile versions of the Tech friend, sentries are quadruped mechanical enemies with a target tracking mechanism and bots bring to mind the evil bot from Robocop (anyone remember that? :P). The CalSec, security and military variants match Callisto, Europa and Io, but apart from stats can have some behavioral differences as well. Warden takes over Callisto, and the Archreavers can finally roam freely around as regular enemies (they got moved to the later moons and buffed a bit).

== Stations and Terminals ==

GHJ#351 \ -- Game - new level feature - security terminals! GHJ#352 \ -- Game - new level features - technical and medical stations! GHJ#353 \ -- Game - new level features - ammo and manufacture stations! GHJ#351 \ -- Game - locked vaults more common, might be unlocked from terminal

Jupiter Hell players know the drill - terminals allow you to get map info, unlock vaults and mass hack/disable robotic enemies. Stations provide resources and are fueled by multitools. Technical stations provide mods, medical stations provide healing and healing supplies, ammo allows printing ammo and grenades and manufacture allows you to print weapons that you weren't fortunate enough to find in the levels.

== Hacking ==

GHJ#350 \ -- Traits - new trait - Hacking! (Tech/Scout) GHJ#350 \ -- Game - ability to hack and disable bots GHJ#350 \ -- Game - ability to give friendly bots commands (works with techdrone too) GHJ#351 \ -- Traits - technicians passive changed to reveal of security terminals GHJ#350 \ -- Traits - WIZARD L1, requires Hacking, doubles hacked bot health GHJ#354 \ -- Traits - Tech skilled grants +2 drone accuracy at L1, +4 at L3 GHJ#350 \ -- Game - SHIFT-move on friendlies will swap position GHJ#354 \ -- Game - tech drones (and only tech drones) can open doors GHJ#354 \ -- Game - tech drone has its own sprites

We did mention Hacking, right? Scouts and Techs have access to the trait that allows you to make friends with most mechanical enemies in the game (no, the Warden won't be friends) and also provide a boost in charges for every encountered station. Several UX and utility improvements have been made to faciliate this and some buffs as well!

== Gameplay Changes ==

GHJ#356 \ -- UI - targeting reticule size larger for larger enemies GHJ#355 \ -- UI - you can now melee scenery on the gamepad/deck using fire command with melee weapons GHJ#354 \ -- Traits - VAMPYRE - melee healing factor reduced to 2x instead of 3x GHJ#354 \ -- Traits - BRUTALIZER - removed +25% L3 area buff, added straight melee +25% (+50% at L3) GHJ#334 \ -- Game - new weapon perk "Piercing" GHJ#354 \ -- Game - pierce ammo assembly has same requirements as demo ammo GHJ#346 \ -- Game - mechanical enemies take +50% damage from pierce damage GHJ#357 \ -- Game - powerups refresh instead of stacking GHJ#354 \ -- Game - envirosuit packs duration increased by more than 50% GHJ#354 \ -- Game - increased the falloff of shotguns to compensate for range 1 buff (except combat) GHJ#354 \ -- Game - speedloader and pierce on shotguns now increases falloff by +3 GHJ#354 \ -- Game - chainfire weapons will now be refered to as rotary weapons GHJ#354 \ -- Game - medusas and variants are no longer armored GHJ#346 \ -- Game - medusas no longer more resistant to shrapnel damage

The introduction of so many mechanical enemies that have specific resistances required some balance shifts and changes. Apart from that we buffed one underperforming master trait and nerfed the overperforming one. Take note of the powerup change - stacking multiple powerups won't work anymore (this has quite the impact on the DRL mod). Balance feedback always welcome on the forums and the discord!

== Fixes ==

GHJ#360 \ -- UI - mouse control now auto-reloads based on shotcost instead of only when ammo is zero GHJ#359 \ -- Audio - mechs won't play splat sound on gib anymore GHJ#350 \ -- Game - fix grenades triggering off-hand weapon shots GHJ#237 \ -- Game - file I/O fixed, should fix rare corruption crashes GHJ#358 \ -- Game - off-screen death sounds now distinguish mechanical enemies GHJ#354 \ -- Game - friendlies firing beyond vision will no longer get a blind attack penalty GHJ#354 \ -- Game - fixed Wall Hack perk not clearing markers on unequip GHJ#361 \ -- Game - Asgard Forge levers only count once towards Gambler's Shield

We round the update out with the traditional list of bugfixes. Report anything you find and we'll try to fix it as soon as possible!

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.10 - Heavy!

slizgisteam_community_announcementsmod_reviewedModAct_1888166638_1774891771_0mod_require_rereview

120d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.10 "Heavy" brings the first new class to the JH cinematic universe (lol) - the Heavy, along with 5 brand new master traits and 6 new regular traits! Two new enemies appear - the Guardian and the Archwarlock, new perks, plenty of buffs to underused equipment and a brand new particle engine for visual pizzazz! As usual, the DRL mod and the Demo have also been updated to the newest version! The traditional sectioned patch notes follow below.

== Heavy! ==

GHJ#049 -- Game - new class - Heavy! GHJ#051 -- Traits - 5 new Heavy class Master Traits! GHJ#050 -- Traits - 6 new Heavy class regular traits! The namesake of the release, the Heavy class is here! Apart from 5 brand new Master traits (ever wanted to dual-wield chainguns?) we have 6 brand new regular traits. The Heavy represents the first class designed with lessons learned from 20 years of balancing the old three - it builds different, it's more bold, and (I hope!) provides new fresh playstyles to the game, not chained or restricted by the 25 year class and trait "meta". If it becomes popular I hope to revist the three old classes to bring a bit more individual identity to them. And you can surely expect the future Medic class to be as different as the Heavy is! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/5c76ec71b03a2a999a1ecb39d2875a55b4144b56.gif

== Enemies ==

GHJ#302 -- Game - new enemy - Guardian! GHJ#302 -- Game - new enemy - Archwarlock! GHJ#301 -- Game - Warlocks Aura - resists and regen on friendlies GHJ#323 -- Game - Warlocks - all three warlocks now fly and are immune to floor hazards GHJ#301 -- Game - Warlocks - to offset warlock buffs their attacks are telegraphed and target position GHJ#334 -- Game - Ancient - nerf damage 2d6x3->2d4x4, accuracy 5->4 The aim of JHC always was to have an easier early game and harder late game (as opposed to DRL's upside-down balance). This is the part where the endgame gets harder. Both the Guardian and Archwarlock represent an end-game challenge, and warlocks in general got buffs in the form of auras - JH players will know what to expect, DRL players beware - the V is to be feared again ;). As a bit of a respite, Ancient got a little bit easier as quite a few people complained he was harder than the end-boss :P. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/698f5e769d39d609df52cb2964e0e01f22f24ba6.gif

== Traits and resistances ==

GHJ#335 -- Traits - Intuition - buffed L1 and L2 for a more gradual progression GHJ#302 -- Traits - Berserker - defensive berserk works as a refresh, not cumulative GHJ#316 -- Traits - Berserker - stacking limited to 30s, Berserk Pack +100% duration GHJ#295 -- Traits - Entrenchment - now has 2 resistance tiers instead of 3 based on Spool-up GHJ#294 -- Traits - Fireangel - fire resist is +25% per level, L3 burn duration reduced to 3s GHJ#297 -- Game - resistance bonuses cap out at 90% now (from 95%) GHJ#337 -- Game - status effect resist bonuses now affected by resistance limit GHJ#301 -- Game - armor/boots based 100% resistances will not fully prevent armor degradation GHJ#301 -- Game - bleeding reduces accuracy, burning prevents regeneration Intuition got a better ramp up in power, Berserker got a slight nerf to it's abusive state (huge Berserk stacks) but a buff to Berserk Packs to compensate. Entrenchment got a buff - also in part of the new spool mechanic (see below). Fireangel was busted, probably still is a bit. As part of the late game challenge balance, resistances have been brought in line. It will become harder to be immune to something (this in general should be a domain of Relics and Masters, not buff stacking), burning and bleeding have additional utility effects now.

== Visuals and UI ==

GHJ#251 -- Visual - Particle system added! GHJ#242 -- UI - SHIFT-G will now equip items from ground if at all possible (old one goes to inv, or ground if full) GHJ#326 -- UI - Item ore info has explicitly listed weapon group and ammo type Everyone deserves a bit of flashiness so we added a bit more of that to the fairly ascetic JHC. Expect a bit more in future releases too! Shift-G will be of note to many - it brings the item from the ground where it supposed to go - into your hand or onto your character. We're strongly considering making this behaviour a default G behaviour next version (will be an option to reconfigure back of course). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/14915ef74e99dbe4a1c1fd5cf5e4bb4b98917580.gif

== Items ==

GHJ#334 -- Game - new weapon perk, three new armor perks GHJ#295 -- Game - Chain weapons now have Spool-up instead of chainfire! GHJ#301 -- Game - buffed several exotic and unique weapons GHJ#320 -- Game - relics that apply status effects to enemies wont apply them on the player on self-damage GHJ#310 -- Game - buffed the majority of lesser used relics GHJ#301 -- Game - buffed bullet-proof vest and Necroarmor, acid-boots drop earlier GHJ#334 -- Game - buffed perks - Desperate and Auto-repair GHJ#326 -- Game - fixed broken recharge rates, buffed some recharge items GHJ#334 -- Game - cerberus armor - -20%->-30% move speed GHJ#334 -- Game - fireproof armor/boots, chem armor - loses it's -10% move speed penalty, durability reset to base GHJ#301 -- Game - Autoloader will reload weapons in the prepared slot GHJ#286 -- Game - power mods on boots add +2 armor instead of doubling Buffs, buffs for everybody! A unique and exotic should be something to be happy about, or at least happy about in fairly non-rare circumstances. And each relic should have a build where people insta-pick it up. Hence many buffs this version. The recharge rates on rechargable items (both durability on armor and ammo on weapons) was broken and didn't give the intended effect. Each such case has been revisited case by case, so if something recharged assume it might have changed (usually for the better). Additional thing of note is the Spool-up mechanic for chain weapons replacing the clunky Chainfire alt-fire from the previous version. Simply shoot at the enemies again without actions in-between to spool up the fire rate!

== Other balance changes ==

GHJ#301 -- AI - generated monster groups will try to keep together GHJ#301 -- Game - added health globes to E7 and I7 GHJ#301 -- Game - E7 and I7 have more varied layouts GHJ#301 -- Game - vaults can now drop boots and melee weapons (no knives, steel boots rarer) GHJ#284 -- Game - AUTOHIT effects still have 50% miss rate in the dark and don't apply to non-target enemies GHJ#284 -- Game - Angel of Max Carnage - always hit instead of 98% GHJ#302 -- Game - Dante - enemy spawns fully favor group spawns GHJ#301 -- Game - Noxious Hollow - improved enemy variety Some guaranteed health globes have been added, especially useful for those restricted healing challenges, Europa L7 and Io L7 have more layouts. Most important change here is the tendency of generated enemy groups to stay together. This is very important in case of Warlocks and their retuines - expect Dante to be much more dangerous.

== Fixes ==

GHJ#298 -- Game - fixed dual weapon second shot targeting after knockback GHJ#293 -- Game - fixed ADV shotgun pump sound not playing GHJ#299 -- Game - fixed rare interaction that bricked rocket launchers GHJ#339 -- Game - fixed exoskeleton perk improperly applying its bonus to non-melee weapons GHJ#--- -- Game - autoloader will now only work if weapon is in primary slot GHJ#--- -- Game - Asgard Forge - fix for *that* annoying layout GHJ#301 -- Game - Noxious Hollow - less hotstarts and no "start on wall" GHJ#301 -- Game - multiple flood lever types of the same fluid will now properly work on same level GHJ#324 -- Game - wither will be applied even with 100% melee resistance GHJ#--- -- Game - it should be a bit harder to die in the Freeze secret in AoHu GHJ#--- -- Visual - fixed Army Surplus drops lacking drop animation GHJ#--- -- Visual - fixed sprite visibility issues when dying from multi-shot weapons GHJ#301 -- UI - player view, if melee is held Fire -> Attack and it gives the melee attack speed GHJ#324 -- UI - riot SMG will properly be registered as an exotic GHJ#--- -- ASCII - fixed name input and look mode cursor And the usual round of fixes - quite a few things have been cleaned up this version. Special thanks to joseph-hlucny for providing the ASCII version fix!

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.9 - Melee!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

162d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.9 "Melee" brings improvements to melee gameplay, including new traits (and Masters) and improved FX, other trait improvements, Relics equipment slot, UI/UX improvements toximedas and a brand new special level with a classic Jupiter Hell boss! Without further ado, lets dive into the sectioned patch notes!

== Melee rework ==

GHJ#254 -- Visual - added melee attack FX animations GHJ#037 -- Game - Shattered Abyss added! GHJ#255 -- Game - new Tech melee master Killing Flow (auto melee attack after move) GHJ#255 -- Game - Assassinate trait added for Scouts! (replaces Blademaster) GHJ#255 -- Game - Blademaster reworked into a Advanced trait replacing Berserker for Scouts GHJ#255 -- Game - Executioner trait added for Scouts (replaces Ironman) GHJ#255 -- Game - Stealth grants +50% melee resistance and +30 move speed GHJ#255 -- Game - Brute is more frontloaded GHJ#255 -- Game - Tech Bladedancer renamed to Butcher and made an advanced trait We wanted to make sure that each of the current classes has its melee identity. The current Berserker approach suits Marine well, so it was a question how to make Scouts and Techs work without Berseker. Scout is intended to lean onto Stealth and Executioner trait, Blademaster has been reworked into a Advanced that to replace Berserker, while a new Master trait, Assassinate has taken its place. JH veterans will know what to expect, but others are in for a treat :) Tech also gets its old Master trait (Bladedancer) as a regular advanced trait (renamed Butcher), and instead gets Killing Flow as their new Master trait - think Gun Kata but for melee! Several changes in this patch have also been made to make early game melee more forgiving, although it will always be tough - you're not expected to start with Melee apart from AoBerserk challenges. To test your newfound melee prowess, you can also check out the new Shattered Abyss level, the JH version of Unholy Cathedral!

== Other traits ==

GHJ#281 -- Game - Stealth change - by default, only melee, pistols and semi-autos get the damage bonus but +100% GHJ#281 -- Game - Ghost - at level 1, all weapons get the stealth damage bonus GHJ#281 -- Game - Ghost - level 2 also adds +1 stealth attack, so level 3 is +3 GHJ#282 -- Game - Sharpshooter trait now works with semi-autos It was a good moment to do a few minor changes to other traits, and take a look at Stealth. Apart from getting melee resistance and move speed as mentioned in the previous section, the Stealth damage bonus is now restricted to melee, pistols and semi-autos, but increased to +100%. The old behavior is still available as the Ghost trait, which also got a few buffs.

== Relics and other items ==

GHJ#279 -- Game - relics show up in equipment screen and can be dropped (destroyed) at will! GHJ#279 -- Game - relics generated in Anomaly and Cathedral levels wont have duplicates GHJ#280 -- Game - Grenade buffs - innate +3 acc (helps "lobbing over") and halved self-damage GHJ#280 -- Game - Grenade buffs - increased dammage of all grenades apart from plasma GHJ#227 -- Game - shotgun falloff is counted from range 1 (full damage), not from player position GHJ#282 -- Game - buffed damage of .44 weaponry GHJ#282 -- Game - hunter, sniper and toxin rifle have improved aimed shot GHJ#275 -- Game - increased drop rate of all mods by +50% Relics are now an equipment item, but behave the same as before - with the slight difference that you can now drop them to get rid of them permanently. Grenades got significant buffs, shotgun damage falloff is now counter from square 1, and .44 weapons and semi-autos got damage buffs. Mod drop rates have been significantly buffed too, so making stuff you want is now easier.

== UI and UX ==

GHJ#276 -- UI - Character screen reformated and showing more data GHJ#230 -- UI - enemy HUD view includes affecting perks GHJ#234 -- Game - better tile pick when dropping items (player and from chest) GHD#337 -- UI - Windows - disabled StickyKeys, ToggleKeys and FilterKeys on game start GHJ#255 -- UI - fixed melee tohit value in Character screen Apart from the relic improvements, the character screen has been reformatted to show more data, and the enemy HUD now shows perks that are affecting them. Item drop placement should be a bit smarter too.

== Enemies ==

GHJ#229 -- Game - toxic medusa and medusaling added GHJ#255 -- Game - medusas and medusalings now have a slither perk reducing tohit chance when moving GHJ#229 -- Game - medusalings and *medalings lose their bullet/shrapnel resistance GHJ#229 -- Game - less glacimedas in deep freeze Oh did I mention we have toximedas now? Hell yes :P. Also the various medusa variants are now more dangerous having a special perk that reduces tohit chance when they move. To offset that the lings lost their bullet/shrapnel resistance and there are less glacimedas in Deep Freeze.

== Flood events ==

GHJ#229 -- Game - blood flood event added GHJ#229 -- Game - flood levers offer counterplay - fluid spread is gradual (speed is difficulty dependent) Full-level flood events will offer counterplay now, as the fluid will spread gradually, giving you a chance to run. A new blood flood event has also been added.

== Bug fixes ==

GHJ#255 -- Game - armor resistances will now properly reduce negative status effect durations GHJ#255 -- Game - fixed environmental boots assembly GHJ#255 -- Game - fixed internal tohit chances when targeting enemies behind enemies A few bug fixes to round up the patch, including a fix to the armor resistances that should now properly reduce negative status effect durations, a fix to the environmental boots assembly and a fix to the internal tohit chances when targeting enemies behind enemies.

== Full Changelog ==

0.9 GHJ#254 -- Visual - added melee attack FX animations GHJ#037 -- Game - Shattered Abyss added!

== What's next? ==

Next up on the calendar we have 0.10 "Heavy" which will bring a brand new class with its own traits! I did not expect the class to land in Classic first, but everything points to it landing in a month :). Apart from that there should be some more environment changes in the update so stay tuned for that! Yours truly, {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45136595/36165c6387aade27c0bcbd449116122ff258b536.png

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.8 - Arsenal!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

218d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.8 "Arsenal" brings a ton of new toys for your enjoyment, among them ADV items, relics and existing item improvements as well as improving mechanical transparency and balance! Read patch notes below! This patch is a result of a significant refactor introducing a new general perk system - that in the long run will replace all systems that are based on callbacks. Less tech talk - not only do we have the features listed below, some more features related to this are in the pipeline :D. Let's get to the traditional sectioned patch notes.

== Item perks ==

GHJ#175 -- Game - Item perks! Exotic and Unique items now have perks! GHJ#263 -- Game - ADV weapons, armor and boots with a random perk! GHJ#228 -- Game - removed niche reload-single from double shotguns GHJ#228 -- Game - dual-reload will always work when dual wielding if primary weapon has no alt-reload Jupiter Hell players will recognize this system - special properties of items are now represented by perks! This offers a lot more clarity and flexibility. All existing exotic and unique items have been updated to have their special propeties represented by perks, some of them have actual new perks too! More importantly however, a brand new class of items has been added - ADV (Advanced) items. These are regular weapons, armor and boots that spawn with a random special perk. Just like regular items they can be modded or used as bases for assemblies, opening up a lot of powerful combos!

== Relics ==

GHJ#270 -- Game - Relics added! They're rare, but some say they've been seen in the Anomaly If that is not enough, there's a new rare class of items - Relics! They function diffently from regular items - treated as a power up that imbues the user with a special perk that has both a boon and a downside. They cannot be dropped, and if a different relic is picked up it will replace the existing one. I'm slowly considering to make them into an item slot, akin to Jupiter Hell, which would allow the player to drop them, but as for now they're a set boon - please give feedback on the forums or Discord! The anomaly got a slight glowup to celebrate :P.

== UI/Status changes ==

GHJ#259 -- UI - self-target info shows affecting statuses with description and timers GHJ#263 -- UI - assemblies now state what they're doing - both when applying as well as in list GHJ#259 -- UI - items have a "more" screen too! Access using m or RTrigger+A from inventory GHJ#259 -- UI - use SHIFT-m to force target info on self (also RTrigger+LTrigger-A) GHJ#245 -- UI - turn counter on Character info screen GHJ#228 -- Game - affects timing now are based on ticks not turns GHJ#228 -- Game - berserk effect times halved to balance out the tick change GHJ#263 -- Game - all assemblies have been revisited and made mod order independent Further improving mechanical transparency we have a new item "more" screen, accessible from both inventory and equipment screens ("m" or RTrigger+A) that lists the details of the items perks among a more complete set of item statistics. The player more screen (which now has a shortcut SHIFT-m or RTrigger+LTrigger-A) on the other hand shows all the perks and effects affecting the player (along with a timer for timed statuses!). Speaking of statuses - there's a gameplay change here, that also affects DRL - timings of status effects are now measured in game ticks instead of player turns. This is both a benefit to the player (powerups last longer if you're fast) as well as sometimes a downside. Finally also assemblies got a balance/cleanup pass - no longer the esoteric feature they were before, now they state exactly what they do both on the assembly screen as well as in the known assemblies list. Their effects have been made fully mod order independent, and the strength and effects have been given a balance pass.

== Balance changes ==

GHJ#274 -- Game - Adjusted difficulty curve and spawn rate - easier early game, harder late game GHJ#273 -- Game - boosted the freeze effect to affect general speed GHJ#273 -- Game - reduced the Deep Freeze enemy count by 1 GHJ#273 -- Game - reduced Cryomancer speed by 20, reduced cryomancer freeze status by 2s GHJ#273 -- Game - assault rifle damage 1d7x3 -> 1d8x3 GHJ#272 -- Game - Blademaster flow refreshes insted of accumulating GHJ#273 -- Game - plasma shotgun halved ammo/cost, hellish sergeants can carry it, shotguns no longer gib corpses GHJ#260 -- Game - Ancient's teleport/hologram takes a full second of time to activate GHJ#256 -- Game - increased Harbinger nova charges amount Speaking of balance passes - several smaller things were adjusted, as well as a major buff to the freezing status effect and a new difficulty curve. The freezing effect is now much stronger reducing not only movement speed, but speed in general. This was added later in the beta cycle so be on the lookout for possible balance issues! Deep Freeze and Cryomancer have been nerfed to compensate but Europa might be a bit more dangerous now. Feedback is welcome! The difficulty curve changes aim for an easier Callisto, similar Europa but harder late game across all difficulties (but mostly affecting Hard+). Do provide feedback on how this feels, and whether the effect is as intended!

== Bug fixes ==

GHJ#000 -- exotics that were missing the exotic flag have been fixed GHJ#258 -- picking up power ups mistakenly costed extra time on top of the move - now is free GHJ#261 -- Love will no longer remove overheal GHJ#000 -- fixed Inquisitor and Masochist Diamond not being awarded properly The regular bug fixes - the one one of note is the fact that up till now picking up power ups actually costed extra time - this has now been fixed!

== Full Changelog ==

GHJ#175 -- Game - Item perks! Exotic and Unique items now have perks! (some are new!) GHJ#263 -- Game - ADV weapons, armor and boots with a random perk! GHJ#270 -- Game - Relics added! They're rare, but some say they've been seen in the Anomaly GHJ#263 -- UI - assemblies now state what they're doing - both when applying as well as in list GHJ#259 -- UI - self-target info shows affecting statuses with description and timers GHJ#259 -- UI - items have a "more" screen too! Access using m or RTrigger+A from inventory GHJ#259 -- UI - use SHIFT-m to force target info on self (also RTrigger+LTrigger-A) GHJ#245 -- UI - turn counter on Character info screen GHJ#274 -- Game - Adjusted difficulty curve and spawn rate - easier early game, harder late game GHJ#263 -- Game - all assemblies have been revisited and made mod order independent GHJ#228 -- Game - affects timing now are based on ticks not turns GHJ#228 -- Game - berserk effect times halved to balance out the tick change GHJ#273 -- Game - boosted the freeze effect to affect general speed GHJ#273 -- Game - reduced the Deep Freeze enemy count by 1 GHJ#273 -- Game - reduced Cryomancer speed by 20, reduced cryomancer freeze status by 2s GHJ#273 -- Game - assault rifle damage 1d7x3 -> 1d8x3 GHJ#272 -- Game - Blademaster flow refreshes insted of accumulating GHJ#273 -- Game - plasma shotgun halved ammo/cost, hellish sergeants can carry it, shotguns no longer gib corpses GHJ#228 -- Game - removed niche reload-single from double shotguns GHJ#228 -- Game - dual-reload will always work when dual wielding if primary weapon has no alt-reload GHJ#260 -- Game - Ancient's teleport/hologram takes a full second of time to activate GHJ#256 -- Game - increased Harbinger nova charges amount GHJ#000 -- exotics that were missing the exotic flag have been fixed GHJ#258 -- picking up power ups mistakenly costed extra time on top of the move - now is free GHJ#261 -- Love will no longer remove overheal GHJ#000 -- fixed Inquisitor and Masochist Diamond not being awarded properly

== What's next? ==

The general perk system opens up a lot more possibilities. We'll use it to improve enemy special abilities, possibly exalted traits, revamp level events and improve other "special" effects. These will slowly roll out with future version. That said, the next version will focus on melee combat - 0.9 "Melee" should be out at the end of January, so stay tuned! Have fun, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Yours truly,

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.7 - Europa!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

274d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.7 "Europa" upgrades Europa level generation and adds a new branch, special level and enemy, adds a new branch and special level to Callisto, further improves the UI, and more! Read patch notes below! As mentioned in the previous patch, this one's a bit smaller - we did some renovations in Europa but more will come later. To offset that we did add yet another branch to Callisto to give even more variation to the game. If you like more complex special level mechanics this one's for you :P. Sectioned patch notes below.

== Europa ==

GHJ#218 -- Game - Conamara branch added to Europa GHJ#219 -- Game - Deep Freeze special level (Conamara) GHJ#218 -- Game - barrels of cryofluid added GHJ#218 -- Game - new enemy added to Europa GHJ#218 -- Game - new barrel type GHJ#241 -- Game - improvement pass on Europa level generators Conamara is the star of this update, but it's not the Conamara Chaos Complex you've known. This one is definitely colder. Along with a new branch, new fluid type, new barrel type and new enemy type comes a new special level, and improvements to the existing level generators, especially on the main path. Conamara is guaranteed to show up in this version (the other branch is random) but will be randomly picked in the next one.

== Callisto ==

GHJ#216 -- Game - Asgard Refinery branch added to Callisto! GHJ#217 -- Game - Asgard Forge special level (Asgard Refinery) I will try to add something to Callisto in each patch to keep the early game experience fresh for people returning to see what's new. This time it's a whole branch with a new special level. Might take a bit to figure out, but it's not as hidden as the Mimir Arena one (don't know about it and want some spoilers? drop by the Discord - https://discord.gg/jupiterhell ). Asgard Refinery is guaranteed to show up in this version (the other branch is random) but will be randomly picked in the next one.

== Level generation ==

GHJ#239 -- Game - improvements to barrel choice per branch and massbarrel chances GHJ#240 -- Game - improved fluid consistence and choice in moons and branches GHJ#238 -- Game - safer placement of Inferno portal GHJ#241 -- Game - couple new furniture items I've reworked the way fluids and barrels are placed, and apart from improving the Europa level generators I've also added more furnitue variety (visual also), which you will see in other levels too.

== UI/UX/Graphics/Audio ==

GHJ#244 -- UI - JH-style direct health display GHJ#225 -- UI - you can assign quickslots directly from equipment screen GHJ#223 -- Audio - different sounds for different doors GHJ#226 -- Visual - improved door illumination GHJ#248 -- UI - feedback messages when trying to use active skill while berserked GHJ#243 -- UI - reloading will use ammo stack on ground if matching GHJ#231 -- UI - melee weapons will display damage type GHJ#244 -- Visual - several sprite variations for level features GHJ#213 -- Visual - destroyed containers have their own sprite GHJ#210 -- Help - added info to help files on melee attack move prevention We're continuing with constant UI/UX improvements and mechanics transparency. The immedately noticable one will the the HP numbers on the HUD instead of percentages. Quickslots can be assigned from the equipment screen and you will reload from ground if standing on ammo.

== Balance ==

GHJ#221 -- Traits - Berserker - removed damage requirement for melee hit to count for berserker proc GHJ#221 -- Traits - Berserker - berserk trigger times +10/+15/+20 (from +10/+20/+30) GHJ#221 -- Traits - Berserker - stored accumulative berserk halved GHJ#221 -- Game - Berserk - reduced resistance bonuse to +25 (from +50) apart from melee, bullet and shrapnel GHJ#221 -- Game - Berserk - returned speed bonus to +50% (from +40%) GHJ#224 -- Game - Broken Armor no longer modable (but +25% plasma resist) GHJ#222 -- Game - IO 7 door isn't unlocked until boss is at phase 2 GHJ#222 -- Game - IO Boss has reduced armor to compensate GHJ#222 -- Game - Europa,Io,Dante bosses lose a flat 20hp Preparing for one of the future updates (0.9 Melee) I've toned down Berserk and Berseker a bit. Berserker will be weaker overall, but stronger early game (where it most needed it). Along with the Berserk changes we are making space for each class to have a different flavor of melee gameplay. But we did tone down the bosses a bit, especially if you're playing on lower difficulties :).

== Fixes ==

GHJ#227 -- disabled events on Dante L2 to prevent a rare negative interaction (will be enabled in a later version) GHJ#231 -- fixed crash when rocket-jumping into the Ancient fight GHJ#236 -- fixed limited range weapon vs level clear oov targeting interaction GHJ#235 -- fixed Harbinger AI infinite loop when being attacked by drones in melee range Some fixes that didn't make it to the Hotfix release (or the bugs were discovered late) have also been deployed.

== What's next ==

Next version will take a bit more time as I'm doing a significant backend feature implementation that in the longer run will allow for more interesting items, enemies, level events and more - this will come with changes to items, so the release will be called 0.8 Arsenal. Later we'll move to a Melee release (0.9 Melee) with 0.10 Heavy afterwards. Each one will obviously include several side features beyond the main theme, and will take a month plus (Arsenal closer to 6 weeks). I will try to update the forum Roadmap with more info this week! Tell us what you think of the patch, here on Steam or on Discord! Sincerely, ChaosForge

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.6 - Callisto!

slizgisteam_community_announcements

302d ago

Jupiter Hell Classic 0.6 "Callisto" upgrades Callisto and its branches, introduces the proper boss of Io, improves the UI, adds the Dante special level, and much, much more. Read the moloch of patch notes below! First of all, thank you for such a warm reception of Jupiter Hell Classic! This update would not be possible without the help of our excellent community on Discord ( https://discord.gg/jupiterhell ) - be sure to drop in if you want to help shape future content! This is our first post-EA-launch content update, so we wanted to start with a banger. To make reading easier, we split the massive patch notes into sections. Enjoy!

== Callisto ==

GHJ#170 -- Game - new branch with new special level - Mimir! GHJ#152 -- Game - former grenadier added! GHJ#152 -- Game - former inmate added! GHJ#153 -- Game - former guard added! GHJ#127 -- Game - new scatter items added GHJ#000 -- Game - improved the main level generator (most noticable on Callisto) GHJ#172 -- Game - added something extra to make Valhalla Control more interesting GHJ#174 -- Game - improved Valhalla Habitat generators a bit GHJ#000 -- Game - placement of boxes and powerups on levels improved GHJ#000 -- Game - order (and selection) of moon branches is randomized now The main focus of this release is Callisto. A brand-new branch has been added - Mimir. If you immediately thought CalSec Central, think again: the special level is completely different! Alongside it come three new former human variants - the grenadier, the suicidal inmate, and the guard with an auto-rifle. The main Callisto level generator (BSP, for those in the know) has been significantly improved, with benefits noticeable across other levels as well. Other Callisto generators and levels got minor improvements too, both in gameplay and visuals.

== Gameplay ==

GHJ#068 -- Game - Io has a proper boss fight now! GHJ#038 -- Game - new special level on Dante - Inferno! (warning, extremely hard) GHJ#127 -- Game - Dante has its own barrels GHJ#018 -- Game - melee kill will move into enemy square (SHIFT or LTrig to prevent) GHJ#055 -- Game - Angel of Confidence and Angel of Overconfidence challenges added! GHJ#000 -- Audio - change warlock/cryomancer pain sound GHJ#184 -- Game - Tyre Outpost doors unlock on proximity GHJ#000 -- Game - new lever effect added - dispense random mod GHJ#157 -- Game - medusa upgrade GHJ#165 -- Game - direct hit damage calculated before knockback GHJ#000 -- Game - slightly adjusted how resurrection timing works - warlocks and cryo might appear faster, but less random speed GHJ#000 -- Game - mass barrel levels will have 20% less barrels GHJ#000 -- Game - on kill all special level trigger once each enemy is killed once GHJ#187 -- Game - most cover features will be hit 30% or 70% of time instead of 100% GHD#331 -- Game - level up happens after the turn is resolved Speaking of gameplay, the former isn't the end of new stuff, far from it. Io finally has a proper boss fight, and Dante gains a new special level - Inferno - a brutal homage to a classic. Dante also has its own barrels now, so watch where you stand! Couple of important gameplay changes are outlined above. You'll quickly notice the medusa will now be more interesting to fight. Also noticable is the important knockback change - knockback now applies after damage, ensuring explosions always deal their intended damage. Do note that you're not going to be as safe in those phaseshift boots either! Two classic challenges also return: Angel of Confidence and Angel of Overconfidence, completing the initial set. Ao100? That's planned for later in the EA cycle as part of a full set of Trial game types.

== Items ==

GHJ#146 -- Game - grenades added! 4 types available GHJ#149 -- Game - multitools added! currently repair armor, but will have more uses later GHJ#179 -- Game - accuracy, sniper and firestrom mods have effects on shotguns! GHJ#182 -- Game - items have different swap times now - sidearms/smgs are 0.5, knives 0.3, some weapons 0.7 GHJ#185 -- Game - grenades (both used and launched) now try to avoid enemies and features that are not the target GHJ#166 -- Game - phasing will try not to place the player on any liquid GHJ#148 -- Game - small medkits and stimpacks now stack x3 GHJ#152 -- Game - pierce damage type replaces heavy (ignores resistance, halves armor, better gibbing) End of new stuff? Nope! Grenades (four types!) are now in the game - perfect for clearing chaff or helping in restricted-weapon challenges. Multitools arrive too - currently repairing armor, with more uses to come. Swap times vary by weapon class now, and medkits/stimpacks stack in threes. The latter got a buff too, see below!

== UI ==

GHJ#097 -- UI - more screen with detailed stats (m by default, even from main view) GHJ#113 -- UI - defence markers added (show when safe from counterattack) GHJ#144 -- UI - quickslot support for gamepad GHJ#204 -- UI - raised enemies have a reverse death animation GHJ#000 -- UI - invulnerability has a slightly less agressive effect (accessability option might appear later) GHJ#180 -- UI - improved contrast and lightness of Berserk and Stealth overlay GHJ#182 -- UI - swap time now visible in description if not 1.0s GHJ#158 -- UI - .44 ammo and .40 grenades have more distinct icons GHJ#158 -- UI - mods have their own icon now, old one is multitool GHJ#158 -- UI - sniper, hunter, plasma pistol and machete have their own item sprite GHD#328 -- UI - player panels now close with the same key (and swap within) GHJ#145 -- UI - better emphasize and explain Master traits GHV#018 -- UI - text input expanded (copy/paste/move cursor) As promised we're commited to making the game more transparent mechanics wise and less wiki dependent - two big changes in that regard. First is the being info screen (the classic m for more), with detailed stats info on enemies. This will be improved more with status effects later, and a more detailed item information screen will be added too! The latter is the introduction of the cover marker. Nothing has changed mechanics wise - it's the same old corner-shooting, but now much more accessible. If you see that green shield that means that the targeted enemy cannot shoot you! A gray shield is the same but from a visible non-targeted enemy. After more than 20 years corner-shooting advanced to a fully respected and acknowleged feature. *sniff* oh how fast they grow up :) *sniff* We also have quickslot support for gamepad, animation (reverse death!) for raising dead enemies and improved visuals for the fullscreen overlays for status effects - in particular invulnerability should be much less obnoxious. If anyone has still issues with those, hit me up (preferably on Discord) - I can work out a toggle that removes all of those. A couple smaller stuff can be noticed above not least new icons for better distinction!

== Traits ==

GHJ#179 -- Traits - Son of a Gun damage bonus +20%/+40%/+60% -> +40%/+70%/+100% GHJ#000 -- Traits - Gunslinger penalties lessened GHJ#179 -- Traits - Brute adds melee resistance (+20/+30/+30), Ironman melee->cold GHJ#179 -- Traits - Sustained Fire damage bonus +1/+2/+3 -> +2/+4/+6 GHJ#191 -- Traits - Angry Mo-fo nerfed - removed resistances, damage bonus now 30%/60%/100% GHJ#000 -- Traits - Berserker - self damage (including fluids) won't trigger berserker This release is light on trait changes, mostly a few significant buffs (especially Son of a Gun) to improve pistol and melee experience. The one nerf is to Angry Mo-fo. The sleeper hit that once awoken was borderline broken :P. Next release will have more significant changes in this department.

== Balance ==

GHJ#202 -- Balance - stimpacks - immunity to poison status, +25% speed instead of movespeed, 10 turns duration GHJ#000 -- Balance - reduced onyx armor move penalty from -25 to -10 GHJ#148 -- Balance - reduces the amount of shards generating to allow other powerups to appear more GHJ#143 -- Balance - launchers made a bit more common GHJ#143 -- Balance - early levels will give more non-9mm ammo GHJ#000 -- Balance - Monster has been buffed GHJ#179 -- Balance - EGLS renamed to ERLS - accuracy 4->6, swaptime .5, rocket jump GHD#331 -- Balance - default swap time with prepared is 0.5 GHJ#179 -- Balance - default values for shotgun range/falloff reduced to compensate mod changes GHJ#179 -- Balance - 9mm weapons are much easier to dodge (should help with early melee builds) GHJ#179 -- Balance - Cybersuit - movemod -30->-20, plasma resist 0->50% GHJ#186 -- Balance - plasma pistol shot cost 1->2, mag size 4->8 GHJ#179 -- Balance - 40mm drum launcher - damage 3d6->4d6 GHJ#179 -- Balance - elephant gun - reload time 3x->2x but range -2, falloff +2 GHJ#179 -- Balance - sidearm - damage 2d4->3d3, 2 levels earlier, +50% more common GHJ#179 -- Balance - knockback changes - pistols/smgs need +50% more damage, automatics need twice the damage per tile GHD#333 -- Balance - changed knockback calculation so that even lower knockback armor protection matters GHJ#165 -- Balance - increased enemies/XP gained per floor GHJ#000 -- Balance - Cryomancer - +20HP, +100% cold resist, -25% fire resist GHJ#179 -- Balance - medusaling bullet resistance 50%->25% GHJ#143 -- Balance - reduced sergeants weight by 20%, earlier ones carry less shells GHJ#143 -- Balance - callisto/europa captains carry 20 less 7.62 ammo GHJ#143 -- Balance - ravagers appear slightly later But Traits aren't the only thing balanced - above is quite a big list of changes, and I'm pretty sure I missed some in this report. The most notable balance changes are the stimpack buff, the variable knockback and variable swap time changes, and a general increase in XP per floor (you'll level up faster!).

== Fixes and others ==

GHV#010 -- Backend - ported to use SDL3 GHJ#000 -- Audio - change warlock/cryomancer pain sound GHJ#000 -- Game - fixed AoHu Platinum and Diamond not unlocking properly GHJ#000 -- Game - fixed Entrenchment Platinum not requiring Nightmare GHJ#194 -- Game - fixed Gun Kata interaction with weapons of shot cost > 1 GHJ#198 -- Game - fixed masochism scout ammo not being .44 GHJ#199 -- Game - fixed ammo-less weapons not behaving properly when dual wielding GHJ#000 -- Game - 44. -> .44 lol GHJ#181 -- UI - pushing a crate into a hazard will no longer produce the "stupid" message GHJ#189 -- UI - remove collision of traits and resistances in Eq screen GHD#336 -- UI - fixed auto-target behavior on darkness levels GHJ#000 -- Audio - regular fiends lacked audio! Finally what would a patch notes list be without a bugfixes list! This ones fairly short - we tried to push all important fixes in to the big list of Hotfixes that you've seen for the first few weeks after EA launch. On the "other" front the tech-savvy might be interested we migrated from SDL2 to SDL3.

== Demo and DRL ==

Finally - the demo is updated with all relevant changes above! The DRL mod is also updated to the latest engine (no DRL specific changes at the moment): 0.10.4 -- GJ#113: defence markers added (corneshooting indicator) -- GJ#144: UI - quickslot support for gamepad -- GH#333: changed knockback calculation so that even lower knockback armor protection matters -- GJ#166: phasing will try not to place the player on any liquid -- GJ#165: direct hit damage calculated before knockback -- GH#000: on kill all special level trigger once each enemy is killed once -- GH#328: UI - inv/eq/trait/char keys are active when panel is up! -- GH#000: level up happens after the player turn -- GH#331: default swap time with prepared is 0.5 (down from 0.8) -- GJ#199: fixed ammo-less weapons not behaving properly when dual wielding -- GJ#196: fixed AoRA on death crash -- GH#000: fixed several bugs related to checking if a level is nuked -- GH#336: fixed auto-target behavior on darkness levels

EARLY ACCESS RELEASE

slizgisteam_community_announcements

349d ago

The wait is over - Jupiter Hell Classic has officially launched into Early Access on Steam!

We've just hit the big button - Jupiter Hell Classic is live in Early Access!

This is not a reskin, this is not a release, this is a game between worlds - taking the best of two games and trying to improve upon that (see the FAQ for details!).

A huge thank you to our community for your support and enthusiasm. Your feedback has been instrumental in shaping Jupiter Hell over the years, and we're excited to continue this journey together as we work towards the 1.0 release.

As with all our releases, the success of this launch really depends on you - yes, you. Traditional roguelikes are a niche, mostly overlooked by mainstream press and big content creators.

Why Early Access?

Because we want to build it with you. Jupiter Hell Classic is fully playable, but EA is our chance to grow the game together. We're talking frequent updates, hanging out with you all on Discord, and actually building features based on what you want to see. No corporate roadmap nonsense - just us, you, and a game that evolves based on direct player feedback. if you've been with us through Jupiter Hell or DRL, you know how we roll. Open development, regular updates, and a community that actually shapes the game. That's just how we do things around here.

Join us on the discord for Beta builds and discussions, and dive straight into the depths of Jupiter!

We've also updated the free demo to match the launch version quality, so if you're still on the fence, go give it a try first.)

See you in hell, Marines!

Jupiter Hell Classic Launches into Early Access Tomorrow

Chaossteam_community_announcements

350d ago

Brutal. Demanding. Unforgiving. Refined.

Jupiter Hell Classic hits Early Access tomorrow! Here’s a handy round-up to get you ready before you descend into the hells of Jupiter.

Q&A

Why Early Access?

TL;DR: We want to make the game the best it can be - by building it together with the community.

We believe traditional roguelikes are a perfect fit for Early Access, especially when developers actively engage with players. Our development thrives on frequent updates, with even more frequent BETA builds available to the community via the ChaosForge Discord.

Player feedback shapes our roadmap, features, and balance decisions. You can already see this approach in action by looking at the update history of Jupiter Hell! Like fine wine, roguelikes tend to age well - and we want to give this one time to ferment into something truly great.

How long will the game be in Early Access?

Current development plans are laid out in such a way, that the road to 1.0 launch should not take more than a year's time. After 1.0 you can also expect further updates and patches, however before we get there, you can take a look at the current roadmap here

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

Roguelike development tends to expand horizontally - rather than changing the core, we add more depth and variety. Expect more items, enemies, level generators, branches, traits, challenges, and new playable classes. At the same time, we'll continue refining and polishing the overall experience.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The game is fully playable from start to finish, with all major systems in place. We're now focused on expanding its breadth - more items, enemies, systems, level generators, branches, special levels, challenges, and better modding support. We're also steadily improving polish, visual variety, and the overall feel.

4 episodes, 6 branches, 9 special levels, and 2 boss fights
Dozens of level generators, random events, and generation sets
3 classes, 15 master traits (sub-classes), and 24 regular traits
25 unique enemies and 100+ items, including exotics and uniques
30 assembly recipes for weapon and armor crafting
5 difficulty levels, 16 challenges, and dual-challenge support
Hundreds of badges to earn

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

Yes, we plan to slightly raise the price as we approach version 1.0 and the game reaches our target level of content and polish. Any price changes will be clearly communicated in advance, so players have plenty of time to jump in at the current price. The Early Access price will be $14.99.

Will the demo stay?

Even better! The demo will be updated on EA launch day to match the quality of launch version, and kept updated during the EA period!

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

Whether it's here on the Steam forums, on the ChaosForge/Jupiter Hell Discord, X or BlueSky - we read all feedback! Players who've been part of our community over the past two decades know: we take feedback seriously, and many suggestions have directly shaped our games.
