AMID EVIL - El Oshcuro

Champions!
The Lost Falls level, once only used as a demonstration for RTX features, is now available to all!

You can find this brand new level in the QUEST selection menu:



In addition to this, we've made some other very big changes with this new update including an upgrade to Unreal Engine 4.24.3, some new cheats, RTX beta branch improvements and a long awaited change to make weapon speed 'FPS independent' - meaning that higher frame rates will no longer mean slower weapons!



Full patch notes HERE

But what's next?
More RTX improvements including the addition of DLSS 2.0 (thanks Nvidia)

Plus... something DARK is coming...




SOON™

Champions! The rumors are true...

The AMID EVIL RTX beta is here!

You can now test RTX implementation in the brand new AMID EVIL RTX Test Level called... The Lost Falls. (you can also play this level without RTX)




As well as... THE FULL GAME. (Type AELEON to get back to the full game levels)

Seriously... check out the difference RTX makes in Episode 5...



And the final level of Episode 1...



To get on the beta branch to test RTX go to your Steam game properties for AMID EVIL and enter the password AmidRTX12345



Note that we're still hard at work with Nvidia on this RTX implementation so please provide feedback and performance information for us on the forums!

Or come talk to us directly in http://Discord.gg/NewBlood




Hope you enjoy The Lost Falls and turning your RTX ON, champions!

AMID EVIL - El Oshcuro

BEHOLD!
The AMID EVIL Ancient Alpha Builds have been uncovered!
And they're available to play NOW as FREE DLC.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198780/AMID_EVIL__Ancient_Alphas/
These 5 early builds of AMID EVIL chronicle the game's development from 2016-2017 and will give you a deep look into how the game as you now know it came to be!



You'll get an early look at a VERY different Gateway of the Ancients:



A VERY different looking Aeternum:



Areas that were never used in the final game:






And much much more silly and strange development goodness:




For more information on how best to explore these forgotten worlds, find the readme in your program files or refer to this post on the forums.

Not sure how to install this DLC with the new Steam Library? There's a .gif for that:



Now that we've shown you how OLD AMID EVIL can look, why don't we show you how NEW it can look.

We think it's time to show you how GOOD it can look.

We think it's time to... turn RTX ON.



SOON™

Champions!
Since the day we revealed AMID EVIL back in 2017 you've all had one question:

"How can those weapons be sprites?!"
Well, we recently broke down our development process in detail within the latest Unreal Engine tech blog, check it out!

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/tech-blog/amid-evil-crafting-3d-weapons-into-2d-sprites

From the first test sprite in 2016:


To the WIP Axe of the Black Lanyrinth in 2017:


To the weapon you know and love in all its glory:


All 7 weapons have come a long way and so have we!







In other news: we've just released an update that addresses some remaining bugs and also FINALLY allows you to change the in-game font! (you're welcome)



Until then, Champions...

Champions!

It's been just over 72 hours since we launched AMID EVIL, and needless to say the response has once again been... OVERWHELMING
https://youtu.be/JBlTTW3RRtw In fact...
AMID EVIL has now outpaced DUSK to have the most successful launch for a New Blood game... EVER.

And for those of you who don't yet own BOTH of these games (and because we hate money)
there's now a bundle so you can save even more of it!

He's also released a music video for the FINAL track of the game... "Finality"
https://youtu.be/afW7Hg50iiQ
As for what's next?
Well, we're going to take the next few weeks to relax a bit (enjoy the Steam Summer Sale) and discuss what we'll SOON be bringing to the world of AMID EVIL in the coming months... and years.

But we think it's safe to say that due to the response so far -
The Champion's adventures aren't done just quite yet.
:TR:

There's not much else to say!

You keep buying our games, and we'll keep makin' em for ya :bigjohn:

AMID EVIL - El Oshcuro

Champions!

The seventh and final episode of AMID EVIL is nearly upon us.

You've already had your first look at The Void...
https://steamcommunity.com/games/673130/announcements/detail/1636405987619998841 But that's not all we've been working on as we come toward the finale of your journey...

You may have noticed we've recently started updating previous episodes of AMID EVIL

Episode 3: The Sacred Path just received a major overhaul that added several tweaks...
  • NEW lore
  • NEW enemies
  • NEW gameplay elements
  • and more...


We believe the increased enemy variety along with more situational use of your arsenal against them...



Makes for an overall stronger experience - something we're going to be bringing to other episodes as well!



One of the few complaints we've received during Early Access is that weapons don't feel situational enough in certain scenarios or against certain enemy types. And while that's not entirely true - we're going to be going back and updating the levels so that certain enemies and scenarios are definitely appropriate for distinct weapons.



You'll already notice that in Episode 3, explosive weapons now destroy rock enemies easily, the water staff douses fire enemies, the axe rips through plant life and the trident electrifies underwater enemies (because that all kind of makes sense!)



We'll be making these sort of changes to each episode so keep an eye out - and when in doubt - USE THE AXE OF THE BLACK LABYRINTH. (it's not just some weak default axe, okay?)



But I digress...

We've also been adding more story, lore and environmental storytelling to the game. And not JUST new voice overs, and not JUST new lore written on the walls...

The gateway will now change depending on what episode you've finished.

You may now notice the night stars will come out after defeating the Moon Guardian of Episode 1


Or it's now a foggy afternoon as you head toward Episode 3


Or it's become dark as midnight after defeating the Solar Saint of Episode 4


Or that something seems EVIL as you prepare to enter The Void...




What we're aiming to do with this is create a continuously engaging and varied experience throughout these seven distinct worlds as you're guided along by the Voice of the Ancients in order to defeat this cursed evil and save their lands...



Speaking of the voice of the Ancients: please give a virtual round of applause to our VA, Tamara Ryan - she's been incredible to work with and you should hire her to work on your projects, too! http://www.tamararyanvo.com/



https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1131397726334095360

Thank you to everyone who've helped us build AMID EVIL into the game it is today! And thank you to everyone who has spread the good word of New Blood! Thanks to you, AMID EVIL is now the highest rated FPS on Steam. Now it's time to finish off this evil once and for all...

The end draws near, champions... are you prepared?!
