https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33018189/28e59a99abf86bf535101b83228c0903a1cb9067.jpg The time is nigh! The project, which we started developing in 2020, is finally taking shape as a worthy spiritual successor to Fury Unleashed. The enigmatic #AGSNextGame tag is gone. Today, we would like you to welcome the newest Awesome game. Welcome, the... https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/33018189/145a2c826d09cb98b2543785b283a4d7ac7c3a8a.png HELLREAPER is a roguelite action-platformer where you play as a former angel, sacrificed and reborn as the Hellreaper, a mystical executioner bound to eternal combat against the legions of the damned. Traverse shifting infernal realms, master cursed powers, and battle grotesque abominations in a desperate fight against eternal damnation. Balance is at risk; Heaven must strike back, and you're their last line of defense to restore order. With the aid of a mysterious entity known as The Three Sisters, you will uncover the secrets of Hell’s corruption - and more. There will also be cats. Probably… with cats, you can never be sure.

• Super snappy and easy to learn controls that make you feel powerful.
• Hand-crafted levels merged meticulously using procedural generation.
• Unique build potential with powerful relics you collect and combine.
• Unlockable abilities that let you adapt your playstyle over time.

Hi everyone!

As promised in the previous update, we're adding a new game mode for you to enjoy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30300887/9659b7823861d1d0ba23bce8f187faba5922e493.png

New game mode: Sandbox

In this new mode, you've got infinite money, ammo, and all weapons already equipped for your character. Each in-game day your level resets and you are free to spend 20 skill points any way you like. When you're ready, you can start by selecting any night from 1 to 35. It should be really useful if you'd like to experiment and test different builds against the wave of your choice or want to do some unconventional challenges for fun. Naturally, you can do so with your friends, as like the other game modes - it supports multiplayer. The Sandbox mode becomes available as a reward for surviving 14 nights in-game. The achievements and leaderboards are turned off in this mode, so don't worry about triggering something by accident. Just have fun solo or with friends! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30300887/aca2b3985cc8c129be92d9cc234f59920abc26fa.png In addition to above, the update also consists of: - Fix for level-up interface point distribution when joining a game. - Fix for Leaderboards not opening when using a controller. - Other minor fixes. Thank you for all the support you've given us ːghsmileː On a side note, we're working on two new games. One of which is a single-player spin-off to YAZD – Yet Another Zombie Survivors. It has a Steam Demo, which was really popular in the last Steam Next Fest Festival! We plan to launch the game as an Early Access title soon. If you think you might be interested, or want to support us, feel free to check the demo out and/or wishlist it to help us!

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time since Yet Another Zombie Defense HD got an update, but the since the game has reached a new all-time high player count during the current sale, we've decided it deserves some more love! For now, we've pushed a quick update containing the following changes:

Changes & improvements

- The game's engine (Unity) has been upgraded two major versions higher (2017 -> 2019). You might notice that, this isn't the latest engine version available, but it was the newest we could use without breaking too much technical stuff under the hood. Still, the upgrade includes two years' worth of engine bug fixes and optimizations. - Thanks to the feedback from the recent influx of players from China, we've noticed that in the lobby list, the Asian characters weren't displayed correctly. We've just fixed that. - In some cases, zombies would group up weirdly at the corners of your bases. That should no longer be the case, as they should distribute nicely along the barricade edges from now on. - In the previous version, the electro barricade was missing the electric wire. We've rewired it, so now it has its wire back! - We took the opportunity of the new all-time high player count to showcase our new, upcoming game in the main menu. Guess what? It's also about shooting zombies! If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to check it out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2163330/Yet_Another_Zombie_Survivors/?utm_source=yazdhd&utm_campaign=checkournewgame&utm_medium=steam&utm_content=menuvideo And finally, today's update lays the groundwork for a new game mode we're going to add in the upcoming weeks. Make sure to follow our social media profiles for more info! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25309398/449009c91e254079de71f592dc506fe8b29b27ac.png  @AwesomeGamesStd {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25309398/732f76c12c63cfe56093793fc0ca7e90e3589549.png  @AwesomeGamesStudio {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25309398/3f7fdc30b8dbd6df988d1c879be43f1adc074d2a.png  @awesomegamesstudio {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25309398/45a4ff463cde0925bab5eff77e2ae81eb3978362.png  https://discord.gg/m4JfXuS Have tons of fun playing with your friends & family!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30300887/295e4d6f14a774335999e37cf77c85ce00488604.png Hi everyone! After 5 years of work, we've finally released the full version of our newest game - the combo-driven rogue-lite action-platformer - Fury Unleashed! Thanks to the support of our players over the span of the 3 years-long Early Access period, we've managed to improve the game in every way and shape it into something we are proud of. Thanks to that, we are constantly being given positive reviews, both by the industry critics and from our players. The game was created by combining inspiration from modern roguelite platformers, like Dead Cells and Rogue Legacy, with nostalgic memories of old-school platformer shooters, like Contra and Metal Slug. https://store.steampowered.com/app/465200/Fury_Unleashed/

Release Trailer

In the same time as the Early Access graduation, Fury Unleashed was also released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Here is our release trailer for the game:

Hey guys, Easter is over and we hope yours was full of great people, fantastic food and tons of dead zombies! We, on the other hand, took the time to bring some serious performance improvements to our game. We’ve pretty much managed to improve the game’s efficiency in every aspect. This means that, depending on your PC specs, you should be able to notice a double or even triple performance boost! And that’s without any loss in quality of course. Killing zombies is now super smooth. Oh, and we also took the opportunity to kill a few bugs here and there too. Follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeGamesStudio/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/AwesomeGamesStd) so as not to miss any news. Until next time! The Awesome Games Studio Team

This means that, depending on your PC specs, you should be able to notice a double or even triple performance boost! And that’s without any loss in quality of course. Killing zombies is now super smooth. Oh, and we also took the opportunity to kill a few bugs here and there too. Now, since we know quite a few of you guys are really looking forward to this, we also wanted to let you know that we continue to work on the game and the Workshop thing is not forgotten. We’re currently working on several projects simultaneously, so that’s why updating the Workshop is taking us longer than expected. But the possibility of adding new deadly enemies, guns, levels, barricades and turrets, all created by you, is still there, along with giving you the possibility to play online with all those mods too. We just had to deal with performance issues first. When is all this happening? You can expect the Workshop improvements to be available within the next couple of weeks. We’re still considering different dates, so bear with us for more details and follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeGamesStudio/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/AwesomeGamesStd) so as not to miss any news. Until next time! The Awesome Games Studio Team

Hi everyone, we've just released an update that makes it possible to choose the way that cash is shared in the team. The host can make a choice to allow client players spend cash up to the amount they earned (default option), can also disable buying by all client players as well as remove any limitations entirely. We've also significantly improved the game's stability and performance in the later nights. We sincerely apologize for frustration those crashes and game drops caused. It looks that the new version shouldn't crash anymore, but in case this happens please let us know and send the crash log to our email contactawesomegamesstudiocom

Steam Trading Cards for Yet Another Zombie Defense HD were just approved by Valve and they are live now! If you have spent enough time in the game you should have received them already. And by the way - we've investigated the crashes in long multiplayer sessions and it looks that we've found what causes them. The crash logs some of you have sent us were really helpful and we are grateful for them! An update improving game's stability will be released tomorrow and we apologize for having this issue in the first place.

We've just released an update that enables every player in a public game to buy items and build/remove barricades and mount weapons. However, cash spending is limited to how much a given player has earned during the night and is displayed during the day in parentheses next to team's cash. This limitation doesn't apply to the game's host, he or she can spend all cash that has been collected by all players. We've also added option for the host to ban people from their game. This option can be accessed from the pause menu. We also have a status update on Trading Cards - the game is now eligible to have them and as soon they reviewed by Valve everyone will receive them retroactively - if you've already spent enough time in the game to receive the Trading Cards, you'll get them once they are approved by Valve.
