Version 1.1.250206

• Disabled the anonymous data collection system, which occasionally caused crashes

Hi everyone!

This update introduces the Gargoyles monster family and a lot of changes in Tinkerer's balance.

Gargoyles show up only in Endless and Torment modes beyond the 13th floor. They are unique in that they show up with other monster families, providing protection. As long as they have someone to protect they will focus on that. Once other monsters are gone, though, they can prove to be formidable enemies with their high strength.

We got a lot of valuable feedback after the Tinkerer rework and we have incorporated it in the design.

The core (pun intended) issues revolved around ending up with cards requiring one resource but only having the other. Now Cores are more of a mechanic boost fuel, while screws are the main resource.

These changes were tested on the public_test branch for over a month, so everything should be stable. And the tinkering experience should be smoother. Fingers crossed ːArchduckː

Hello everyone, happy New Year!

It’s time for our yearly roadmap post. The previous year was tumultuous, for both the gamedev industry and us with the launch of Hellcard 1.0, technology changes, and team shuffling. We are now well posed for a productive 2025, so let’s talk about Thing Trunk Past, Present, and Future.

The biggest externally visible event of the past year was the launch of Hellcard 1.0 and Bruja DLC. Both performed well, which wasn’t a given. We launched during a period of many, many failed launches of good games that went under without even making a ripple. After all, in 2024 a whooping 18996 games were released on Steam. That's over 2 games per hour!

Yet we hit over 2000 concurrent players, making it our biggest launch yet! And then soared to over 5600 concurrent players for the Bruja DLC launch.

We are now crunching numbers to see if making DLCs is a valid strategy moving forward. Adding one more class to Hellcard would be awesome, but with our limited manpower, we wouldn’t want to delay other projects unnecessarily.

We also have been polishing and balancing Hellcard, with more cards and complete rework on the Tinkerer class. As a result, we have recently hit an Overwhelmingly Positive rating in recent reviews, which we are super stoked about.

We have also been working on console ports; you can expect more news in that department shortly. The workload was shared between us and an external porting company, which allowed us to learn a lot. In the future, we are going to develop games for consoles and PC at the same time. This should save a lot of time since the work won’t have to be duplicated. It will also make the codebase tidy and organized.
On the team front, there have been changes as well. We took in three interns last year and offered each of them to keep working with us once their internships ended. We are 14 people strong now.

Sadly, Matt, one of the founding fathers, decided to take a more passive role in development, mostly due to burnout. He remains in an advisory role but doesn’t work on any specific project, for now.

Last, but super far from least, after 10 years, we managed to compartmentalize the development. Until now, each one of us has worked on all current projects. We had issues with delegation - team members would consult everyone else about most decisions. While this approach was great for what we call visibility, meaning everyone knew everything going on, it’s detrimental to efficiency. And it put unnecessary strain on the team.

For the last three years, we have been trying to isolate the bureaucracy of running the company and ongoing projects from each other. And on the project scale, learn how to delegate. We are now confident this new system is working.
First of all, we signed an unannounced project with a publisher. It will be our first UE5 project. That’s all I can say at the moment, though ːarchduckː It will be part of the series and Supporter's Pack, of course.
We are looking for funding to expand the Book of Aliens team. The environment is adversarial, to say the least with studios firing devs en masse and investors scared. We have a couple of options that we will continue to pursue while continuing to work on the game. The core Book of Aliens team is small now, we can iterate prototypes and design but we will need more hands on board before moving into preproduction.
We are finalizing the modding support update for Hellcard. This completes the Hellcard’s roadmap, encompassing all we had planned at launch. We even have added plenty of unplanned content along the way, so there is a non-zero chance that’s not all ːarchduckː
I know, that’s a name you haven’t heard in a long time! In my spare time, I have tinkered with the Book of Demons. Specifically, I remade it to work without path-bound movement.
There is a story behind it, too. One day I woke up and remembered a negative review from 2018 (these tend to burn into your brain when you are a green dev with starry eyes). Someone wrote that the game was “shit on rails” and that “devs made it on rails because free movement would be too hard”. Which was funny since path movement and mechanics were super complicated to implement.
I wanted to see if it would work and if I could rewrite the game secretly to surprise the team. Not only did it work but it’s also fun. Not sure if we are going to do anything with that, though. The changes are too fundamental to be incorporated into the core game’s code.
We will release the modding support update sometime early this year. This should allow anyone to add new classes and cards using pre-existing mechanics. We expect to spend at least a month fixing issues with it and supporting modders (assuming there will be modders ːarchduckː). This will finish the content roadmap for Hellcard but doesn’t mean there won’t be more content at all. If adding future classes as DLC proves feasible we might add one or two.
The work continues. Since we are fully transitioning to Unreal Engine with all future projects, we decided it would make sense to develop a smaller (or maybe simpler is the correct word here) project on it first. That way we will have a better grip on the tech before diving head first into Book of Aliens, allowing us to ensure the the proper quality you expect from us in both games.
All in all, everyone is excited about the future, doing what they want to be doing and work is progressing very quickly compared to previous years. So, I dare say, it was a year of hard work but it seems to be paying off. This year will tell!

The Archduck, often seen lurking next to adversaries in both Hellcard and Book of Demons. An innocent duck with the wrong friends? Or an evil mastermind, subtly pulling the strings from the shadows? Now you can also befriend this somewhat sinister fowl and see if you end up running your own paper dungeon. Don't blame us if a party of heroes kicks in your doors sometime down the road, though!

We have joined forces with Makeship to see if there is enough interest in Archduck plushies. If there is they will bring Archduck plushie into the physical realm. They are the same guys who did Rimworld plushies, so they are solid.

You can sign the petition here:

'Tis the season to be scared! Everyone who starts the game between now and 26th November will unlock Halloween-themed outfits for their characters.

One of these is brand new: Bruja's Zombie Outfit. My new personal favorite, I was waiting to be able to play it on the public branch ːarchduckː

As Always,

We got a lot of feedback after the Tinkerer rework and have been hard at work to tweak the balance. Now we are at a point where we need you, the community, to test new changes and tell us what you think.


This beta also includes a whole new monster family, the gargoyles, along with unique mechanics. They are present in Endless mode and can spawn after the 13th floor, including new gargoyle minibosses.

And, of course, there are the traditional bug fixes included ːarchduckː.

The more people try the new build the better it will be once it goes public, now is your chance to impact the balance ːarchduckː

If you want to test it, please go to the game's properties in the Steam library and on the Beta tabs switch to release-candidate.

There is no crossplay between the public branch and the beta release-candidate branch - you will be able to play co-op only with others in the beta. So it's best to drag your friends along ːarchduckː

There will be a survey after you close the game, please consider filling it out with your feedback and thoughts. It would help us a lot ːpaperheartː.

You can also discuss the beta changes in a dedicated Hellcard beta test channel on our Discord server:

A quick hotfix. Larger balancing changes are in the works based on the feedback we got so far, stay tuned!


Version 1.1.240920 - 20 Sep 2024

• Fixed crash in traps that give Screws on monster death (Junk Trap, Trojan Trap, and Kill Zone Trap)
  
• Fixed English typo and updated translations

For some time now we have been tinkering with Tinkerer's mechanics. Tracking both Screws and Cores was a headache. Various resource starvation scenarios were also possible, which are never fun to play or easy to balance out. We decided to overhaul his cards and streamline the resources.

The most crucial change is how Cores and Screws work. Playing cards costs mana and screws only now. Cores are used only for buffing with extra effects. This means Tinkerer's cards will be playable with standard effects without Cores, but, by spending extra Cores, they can get buffed for that extra kick.

There are now three major buffs achievable with Cores:

This group includes contraptions that shoot stuff like Prototype, Popping Wrist, Shoulder Cannon, and Spider Gun. By spending optional cores Tinkerer can deploy an extra copy of the contraption. Whirligig, Gauntlet, and Pavise can also be buffed with additional effects by spending extra Cores when playing them. While Singularity now requires one Core to be spent for other players to draw an extra card.

Core Dump and Deflector Attack can now be played with Screws only but if Tinkerer wants to activate their more powerful effects, he’ll have to spend 1 Core.

Cookies obtained via the Cookie Cutter can even give you mana and card draw when they are sprinkled with ground Cores.

Fire Sprinkler and Redox Reaction which deal even more damage when Cores are spent. Pop-up Shield and Duct Tape both give more Block if the Tinkerer has Cores to spare.

Having cores is enough to activate Unionize and Solidarity effects now.

On top of all that, a lot of cards had their cost adjusted both in terms of playing cost as well as additional cost, e.g. using Field Flux and Hidden Variable will no longer be that punishing in terms of how many cards Tinkerer must discard.
