Relic Hunters Zero: Remix news & patch notes

Hey, Hunters! This is a small update for Mac users only. In our big Remix announcement, we highlighted that there were problems with the Mac version of the game that we’re actively working on fixes for. This is the fruit of that work. If you right click on Relic Hunters Zero: Remix in the left hand side of your Steam library and head to “Properties > Betas,” you will see a drop down menu containing “mac_beta.” If you select that beta, you’ll change your game build to one that launches Relic Hunters Zero: Remix appropriately! Please note, however, that it does not have Steam achievement functionality. In other words, your Steam profile will not recognize that you have unlocked achievements; however, achievements will unlock normally through the in-game achievement system. This should be all Mac players need to get back into the game! As ever, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! -Buddy

Today, the long-awaited Relic Hunters Zero: Remix Update hits Steam absolutely free! The Relic Hunters Zero: Remix update takes off with significant updates and expansions to the game’s classic, addicting game modes! We’ve brought in ten new weapons from the game’s top content creators, toggleable skins for every playable character, a bangin’ new soundtrack of high energy tunes, and a whole suite of long-asked-for bug fixes and optimizations! Speaking of that soundtrack, pick it up today on Steam as well, so you too can vibe with “Spaceheart'' or rock out to “Duke Ducan Forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o65gX1BBAQc&ab_channel=AkuparaGames The update does bring one small change that I want to take a moment to highlight. Relic Hunters Zero: Remix won’t be an open-source product. While the original release of Relic Hunters Zero will remain up and playable for all players in its current state, we won’t be able to freely release the code underlying the Remix update. This isn’t intended to disrupt the use of Steam Workshop mods, but it’s likely that mod creators will need to update their content to properly interface with the Remix Update. Otherwise a guaranteed way to play with your mods is playing on the original Relic Hunters Zero branch (minus the Remix update). You can follow this link to find detailed instructions on how to change your playable game version. One last note: This update covers Windows operating systems, but there is an issue currently with MAC which will crash the game. We're aware of the issue and will be pushing a hotfix to address this issue soon! Features:

• Seven Playable Characters - Pick the Relic Hunter of your choice, each with unique stats and skills, as well as choose between classic and modern looks
• Multiple Exciting Game Modes - Classic 12-level Adventure Mode with unlockable relics and items, challenging "Endless" Mode with unique mechanics and economy, and "Storm" mode that progressively increases in difficulty and chaos
• Couch Co-Op - Up to 2 players with Steam Remote Play and Controller support
• Progressive Chiptunes Soundtrack - Energetic and memorable tracks that slap as you deliver the beatdown
• Overcome Tough Enemies & Mini-Bosses - Watch out for powerful commanders who rise up to overwhelm you and your team
• Powerful Community-Built Weapons - Explore the Asteroid Dungeon Nemesis riddled with weapons designed and built by the game’s very own community
• In-Game Achievements - Track and unlock achievements for a variety of challenges you'll face
• Bugfixes and Optimizations - Tons of outstanding issues have been resolved, leading to a smoother, sharper Relic Hunters experience

We’ll be sharing details of the update on the Akupara Games Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram over the next few weeks so make sure you follow us! If you want to gush about all the news with other hunters just like yourselves, head on over to the official Relic Hunters Discord!

Hey, Hunters! Thank you so much for all of your hard work! We appreciate all of the support that you've given us as we bring Relic Hunters Zero to tons of different languages! We're packaging up the final document to be sent out, so we've disabled editing privileges for anyone still on the sheet. Thank you once again for all of the assistance you provided, it's part of what makes Relic Hunters Zero such a great community to work with! - Buddy {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9587449/555d95dded872928d04e2fce47ddf3a340de350a.gif

Hey Hunters, Today Relic Hunters Zero turns 4 years old! We are currently neck-deep into development of the next Relic Hunters Legend update, so this year I had no time to do a special update for Zero as I usually do. But I would like to thank you all so much for making this game such a huge part of our lives, and with that building the foundation of what is now a full game studio working on our dream game. It all started with this free little game, and with you, our Hunters. Thank you so much for the best 4 years of my life. Lots of love, ~Mark

PSA: MAC Users: Please be patient, the update will take a couple of days to go live on OSx. Sorry about that :( Hey Hunters, So here we are, after a few weeks of teasing: the Storm update is live! This is the biggest update to the game since launch, and I am super stoked to see what you think about it. https://youtu.be/W7bWzMqzJqQ The update’s namesake is a completely new game mode called “Storm”. I have been having a lot of fun with Risk of Rain recently, so I looked at Relic Hunters Zero and thought “hey, I could totally make a RoR-inspired gameplay work in here”... ...so that’s what I did! Of course, it is still a bit wonky and nowhere near as deep as Risk of Rain, but it is still a heartfelt tribute, a good change of pace from “regular” Relic Hunters and, hopefully, a lot of fun! This comes with a massive update to everything in the game, from combat overhaul, bug fixes, rebalancing, new content, and much more. And remember, the game is still open source. You can mess with the code yourselves, and if the community wants to make additions and changes to this new gamemode, maybe we can turn it into something really special! Go here to download the source code (requires the free version of Game Maker Studio 2): https://github.com/mventurelli/relichunterszero There are some tutorials available on my youtube channel, but keep in mind they are a bit out of date.

Donation button

It was supposed to be just a small, quick update for April. I ended up working on this for over 30 days on my spare time. According to my logged hours on Steam on Game Maker Studio 2, it was almost 120 hours of work. As much as I love working on Zero, the game is now big and complex enough (and the codebase bad enough) that updates are a very serious effort every time. So after 4 years I have decided to add a “Donation” option on Steam. If you have enjoyed Relic Hunters for free at any point during these last few years and want to thank me, Betu and Raph for it, you can now purchase it. It does NOT come with any content, not even a cosmetic one, nothing at all. The game is still 100% free, and donating (or not!) will not change that. I will update it for as long as my computer is still able to open the project and compile it, because I love this game so much and I am very grateful for what the game and the community brought to my life. “Updated forever”, remember?

Translation Help!

We have a lot of new text that has not been translated to every language, so if you want to contribute with translations to your language, you can go to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17_L6k1iVmNH9XJnx34psx3xqPEkvQA-U3VdXhF1rzw8/edit?usp=sharing Let me or Lucy know on Discord if you want a language to be updated from the sheet.

Not happy with the changes?

I have changed the game A LOT, and I know this might not sit well with some people. Don’t worry, I got you: there is now a “legacy” branch on Steam where you can keep the game as it was before the Storm. Thanks, Hunters! Cheers, ~Mark

But it is a secret one, so keep the spoilers out of the comment section ^^ Hey hunters, Long time no see, uh? Well, for Zero, at least. We have been working hard on the sequel (“Relic Hunters Legend”) for a while now. It doesn’t mean we forgot about our little game <3. Today is a super special day. Exactly 3 years ago, Betu Souza, Raff Müller and myself released this tiny little game called Relic Hunters Zero. It surprised us (and everyone else apparently) with a MASSIVE amount of love. So here we are, three years, 1.5 million downloads and thousands of fans later. Thanks to this little game, my life has completely changed. I am now working full-time on the sequel, thanks to the Kickstarter funds from our community. We have a Discord channel with over a thousand active members. Rogue Snail is no longer just me - it is now a full-fledged company with 8 people, investors, and a plan to take over the world. And we owe everything to this little game, and especially to you, our loving community. You have supported us through the hardest of times, and we hope to build an incredible game for you in Relic Hunters Legend. But today is not Legend’s day. It is the birthday of Relic Hunters Zero! I prepared a small Update to celebrate. It is not a massive update, but it is made with love, just like every single line of code in the game. (Ok, maybe not the AI code) With this Update, I tried to solve 3 issues that were plaguing Endless mode for quite a while now. Weapon upgrades meant that sometimes you would feel "stuck" with a gun just because you had already invested so much Bounty in upgrading it. It was also frustrating to "waste" a good drop of a rare gun when you were already equipped with a better one. Finally, going for maximum Bounty using items like the Morning Star was a dominant strategy. I feel like Scrap and Recycle fixes all of these things! I hope you like the new system. We are also celebrating with party hats and confetti in-game! It will last all the way up to the end of August. It is a silly thing, I know, but it makes me happy for some reason! I have also updated the Open Source repository for the game, so you can contribute to the game, change whatever you want, or even use parts of it to make your own games. Here’s the link: https://github.com/mventurelli/relichunterszero If you are interested in knowing more about the sequel, Relic Hunters Legend, go here: http://www.relichunters.com.br/ Happy huting! Cheers, ~Mark * NEW FEATURE: Scrap and Recycle * Endless and Daily mode Hunters can now choose to Recycle weapons on the ground by pressing "X" on the keyboard or "Right Bumper"/"Right Shoulder Button" on the controller; Recycling weapons give you a new resource called "Scrap"; Scrap is now the only way to purchase Weapon Upgrades from Gunnar on the Endless Shop; Recycling upgraded and/or rarer weapons will give you additional Scrap; Enemies have a chance to drop Scrap when they are defeated; The Ducan Commander drops quite a lot of Scrap; Luck effects and Morning Star do not affect Scrap drop chance or value; Increased all Bounty prices for Tier 2 and Tier 3 items on the Endless Shop by 50%; * NEW FEATURE: Anniversary Mode * - To celebrate our 3-year Anniversary, during the month of August all Hunters will be wearing party hats, and enemies will create a colorful shower of confetti when defeated; *Gameplay* .Kami Tanks temporarily removed from the game - they were very buggy and not fun to fight against. I will rework them and give them a glorious return on the next update; Removed Workshop items from the Daily runs (they still load normally on Endless mode); * Fixes * Fixed a lot of performance issues and crashes. Game should run better and smoother now; Fixed crazy twitching buttons on the main menu; Updated main menu links for current Twitter, Facebook and Discord; Fixed Spooky Turtles not shooting their guns; Fixed a bug where the fire rate of Miniguns would not behave properly (they are fun again to use!); Fixed a few minor bugs with loading Steam Workshop items; Fixed a bug where the fire rate of Miniguns would not behave properly (they are fun again to use!); ** Note: Linux and Mac users - the Update is coming to you later today, hold on tight! **

Hey Hunters, Some of you have been waiting for this for a long time now :) I hope it is as good as you hope it is - Linux version is here, with full Steam Workshop support! Please let me know on the comments and on the Bug Report forum if you come across any issues, as we have limited ability to test on Linux machines around here. Thank you very much for your patience, and have fun! Cheers, ~Mark

Hey hunters, We have just deployed a hotfix for our latest patch. We made a very silly mistake and modded guns were not working with any character other than Jimmy (!) It is fixed now :O We are also keeping tabs on other bugs. Please keep reporting them on the Bug Reporting section of the forums and we'll get to them eventually. Cheers, 'Mark

Thank you very much for taking this ride with us and being such this awesome, engaged and creative community of over a million players around the world! As a birthday present, we have finally implemented one of the most-requested features since day one: Steam Workshop! It is still barebones, and it was a monumental effort to implement (which included re-coding most of the game), but we think it can become something great during the following months. Update 17 (Year 3) is live with lots of fixes and improvements as well. We will always keep this game updated, as we promised. We were asked many times during these two years about why we released Relic Hunters Zero for free. But you have given us so much - your time, your energy, your feedback, your support. We were convinced that Relic Hunters is something special, and we are focusing our efforts 100% on the franchise right now. There is a new Relic Hunters game in the works. Some of you may know. It is online. It is 3D. It is free to play. It is our dream game. It’s called Relic Hunters Legend, and it will come to Kickstarter on October 5th. We need your help in any way you can - if you can’t back us, help us spread the word about it. Give us feedback. Steer us in the right direction. Because we want this new game to be yours, just as you made Zero your own. This is the first sneak peek at the new game in motion. Full gameplay reveal is coming very soon in a few weeks: https://media.giphy.com/media/3ov9k1wVzns2G83LYk/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/3ohhwzKORNeYBe77bO/giphy.gif https://twitter.com/RelicHuntersU/status/903269783218606081 https://twitter.com/RelicHuntersU/status/903271015656153089 Cheers, ~Mark, Betu and the Relic Hunters Team **Full list of changes from Year 2 to Year 3:** *General Changes* Steam Workshop support for Guns; Port to new engine (Game Maker Studio 2); Massive performance improvements and a new "delta-time based" code that will no longer lock the game's framerate; A lot of old stability issues and crashes have been fixed; *Gameplay Changes* Enemy projectiles that destroy player shields now deal 40% of the remaining damage to health; Enemy projectile speed increased by 30% across the board; "Wanted" enemy damage bonus increased from 20% to 30%; "Steroids" now gives a maximum of 100 hp per stack; "High Tech" now gives a maximum of 50 shields per stack; Daily Run now spawns a new Challenge every level instead of every 2 levels; "Light Focus", "Medium Focus" and "Heavy Focus" are now Rare challenges and no longer stack; "Light Focus", "Medium Focus" and "Heavy Focus" bonus damage increased from 30% to 75%; Cover HP increased by 50% across the board; Punny now moves as fast as Pinkyy; Snipers no longer shoot on sight - their first shot already start on cooldown;

Hey Hunters, It took us a while, but it's finally here! Steam Workshop is up and running! Currently it only supports gun mods, but we are already working on melee weapons and characters for the near future! Here's a video tutorial about how to create a mod and deploy it on Steam Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYBnIQZY_1o To test it right now you need to access the game's Beta branch on Steam. To do so, follow these steps: 1) Go to your Steam Library and right-click Relic Hunters Zero 2) Select "Properties" 3) Go to the "Betas" tab 4) On the "Select the beta you would like to opt into" drop-down menu, select "public_test" 5) Close the window and wait for the new files to download This update goes live to the public this Thursday! If any of you need assistance with this process, or are confused about how to convert your previous mods to Steam Workshop, please hit me up here at this thread or at Discord and I'll happily help you out! Cheers, ~Mark
