Blade and barrel hungry for blood.

Thirsty for the sweet nectar of revenge.

Hey everyone! Community Manager Liv here! I’m keen as a bee-n, (sorry), to be announcing what the Samurai Punk team has been cooking up for you all over the past few months! After we released JUSTICE SUCKS, Nick started working on a side project prototype for a super cool bug FPS that he dubbed “A Bug’s Death”. After a few months of work, he got us all onboard to bring it to its final form, and KILLBUG was thrust from the womb of game development! 🐞 Now it’s getting ready to crawl onto Steam on May 3rd (PDT) / May 4th (AEST)! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2211730/KILLBUG/ (See how “crawl” worked as a bug joke and a baby joke? There are layers here, people.) KILLBUG is a fast-paced, first-person movement shooter set in an endless arena. Slash and shoot your way through hordes of ravenous insects, mastering fluid aerial movement mechanics as you fight for glory on the leaderboards. 🐝 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43950927/77a0e67fdcd25ff68547323a218140e718118cd5.gif

Features

• Battle a wide variety of savage insects.
• Destroy hundreds of bugs in fast-paced, brutal combat.
• Slash and shoot enemies with your blade and SMG.
• Utilize aerial movement mechanics to double-jump, melee-dash, gun-hover and more, quickly adapting to combat different enemy attacks.
• Sweat out a new high score on the global leaderboards, or compete to knock your friends off the top spot.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43950927/4fd2ad532256bae3044b9950ae323e46d375e600.gif We’ll be streaming the game + hosting a Q&A in a Discord stage event on release day, so join our Discord server to be a part of that! ❤️ Make sure to wishlist the game to be notified when it's out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2211730/KILLBUG/ Follow all our social shenanigans: Twitter TikTok YouTube

Hey everybody! We’re happy to announce that Screencheat is now fully self-published by Samurai Punk, allowing us to finally declare this game to be 100% “indie AF”. To celebrate, our talented musician Psilatron (formerly ana_mana) has graced us with a slew of hot new tracks to update the Screencheat soundtrack! These five bonus tracks were inspired by the sounds and vibes of the Nintendo 64-era, particularly Goldeneye 64 which we’re told was pretty popular. The soundtrack is available to stream on Youtube and to purchase on Bandcamp. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN-WtPJwdbL6P1y_zjA6EQVGYvHTvUYXL https://psilatron.bandcamp.com/album/screencheat-original-soundtrack Plus, those with the Deluxe Edition will be receiving an updated OST with the bonus tracks and the whole thing in glorious FLAC. There’s also dope new cover artwork. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/6410511/7e3719e0fc2aa13294cac7ba43f401626cf15095.jpg We’ve also added a cheeky link to our Discord for the Samurai Punk community, our cute little corner of the interwebs where you can hang with cool peeps and find out about our latest developments.

Screencheat Anniversary Update We launched Screencheat a year ago and what better way to celebrate than with another major update including some of the dream features on our wishlist! Headlining this update is the localisation of the game into six languages. Now you can cheat in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Dutch or Portuguese as well as English. We’ve also added AI bots into Screencheat. This will give you someone to play against while you wait for your friends to come online and to allow small playgroups to experience larger games. And for experienced Screencheaters, you’ll be able to find a serious challenge with the Dreamcrusher AI difficulty. The AI are able to be mixed in with online and local players and will be replaced when players join mid game. We hope you enjoy them! Rounding out the major additions are LAN play for all you competitive players out there and a new map, bringing the total to eleven. Museum II brings some of the familiar design elements from the original Museum across whilst giving it a more vertical and competitive feel to make the map great for new players as well as screencheating veterans. We can’t quite believe how fast this year has gone and how far the game has come from the initial version we launched. Additions

• Added Legacy and Legacy Southpaw control schemes for controllers

Fixes and Improvements

• Steeple visuals have been tweaked slightly and are now slightly nicer and more optimised.
• Garden visuals have been cleaned up removing some visible seams and adding some better materials.
• Emir now has railings to help stop players from falling to their deaths so much in some areas.
• Fix “Press (X) to drop” prompt not appearing properly

Hi everyone! Today we’re rolling out a fresh patch with a tonne of usability improvements and bugfixes! Changes/Additions

• Revolver Rifle: Increased the radius of the hit cylinder from 0.01 to 0.25 units

• Emotes such as (X) no longer show as controller icons in player names
• Made mouse aim invert and sensitivity a global setting which can be modified in the Options > Controls menu
• Added kill reporting to generate heatmaps
• Add Ragdoll Clearing option in Graphics settings. If enabled, ragdolls will be cleared on round restart after 75 have appeared in single session on a map, or if 100 exist at once. The ability to scale this setting will be added in a future patch.

Gameplay Fixes/Improvements

• Fix not gaining any XP when you have a negative score

UI Fixes/Improvements

• Fix profile duplication bug. Any duplicated profiles will be automatically removed, leaving the copy of the profile with the highest level.

• Add a Controls tab to the Options menu which contains all control options
• Add a confirmation prompt when attempting to delete custom controller bindings
• Fixed “Press X to Jason” to show proper (X) symbol for PlayStation controllers
• Fixed “(B)” controller icon always showing for exiting to Lobby in the end-game screen

(Edit) We're back in Australia now, thanks to everyone who visited our booth at PAX and said hi. Hi Everyone! Our team's flying out today for the glorious land of freedom to attend PAX Prime and exhibit Screencheat. If you're attening the event our booth is #6805 and will be marked on the map as Samurai Punk. We're also going to be selling discounted copies of the game, t-shirts and pins so if you want in on that action come on by! But I'm not attending, what does this mean for me? Our development streams will be on hiatus until we return in early september. Since we'll be out of the country and away from the office we won't be able to address any serious issues that arise so please stay calm if anything totally breaks. Stay Updated! Keep up with everything during the event by following us on Twitter or Facebook. Much Love, Samurai Punk, <3

Hi everyone! We’ve added XInput support (enabled by default) which will now allow for rumble on XInput devices and should support more controllers out of the box. This will also fix the issues with Xbox One controllers on Windows 10. Players who used custom controller bindings will need to disable XInput in the game settings menu, as they are not supported by XInput. Please let us know if you guys have any issues going forward with controllers or binding. Also, we’d like to apologise for the frequency of patches recently and for accidentally giving, then removing, the Deluxe Edition DLC from users who did not own it previously. This was due to a mistake we made and should now be resolved. Users who own the Deluxe Edition should still have the soundtrack so let us know if you don’t see it. As thanks to everyone who has put up with our $#*& over the last week, we’ve made you a cool new Revolver Rifle skin! We really appreciate your continued support and feedback on the game. You’ve all been incredibly helpful in helping us to improve the game and give you the best possible experience. Thank you! :) Bugfixes and Improvements (Including 2.1.6 hotfixes)

• Controller rumble added to all weapons and to certain player actions. If you don’t enjoy the rumble, you can disable it by turning off Screen Shake in the game options. (There’ll be a separate option in a future patch.)
• Xbox One controllers now use XInput and will not drift to the left in menus on Windows 10. Note that this drifting will reoccur if you disable XInput.
• Fixed an issue where the game would sometimes slow down or crash after startup
• Fixed an issue where training dummies would spawn at strange angles on some maps
• Fixed a crash that occurred when a player left during during game start or restart. This showed as all players seeing the preview camera overlaid with the in game GUI.
• Fixed an issue where Windows 10 users weren’t loading their profiles from the Steam Cloud, or having any other Steam functionality. This may have made some players think they had lost their profiles, but no such loss occurred.
• Steam Achievements now appear in the Steam Overlay immediately upon unlocking them.

Known Issues:

• Xbox One controllers in XInput mode show Xbox 360 style controller button icons
