Hi everyone!

We've got another content update for you! Let's jump to the details right away:

12 types of tools of destruction are added in today’s update. Now you can inspire fear in evildoers by using new attacks, like energy pulses, proton lasers, sticky grenades, soul skulls, freezing beams or even by sending swarms of stinging insects at their faces or those things that they sometimes have in place of the face.

Another powerful creature lured its ugly (but well-drawn!) head from the depths of Chaos. It is capable of controlling surrounding enemies, empowering them and even making them immortal as long as it exists. But there is no need to panic, as it isn't invincible and can be brought down by Fury, earning a chest with helpful loot for our hero. Just mind all the bullets flying around!

We’ve done a ton of optimizations to the game, including a change to how levels are loaded. Previously, the levels would load in the background, while you were already playing, which occasionally caused hiccups in performance, especially on slower machines. Now, we’ve added a bit of loading time between the chapters, but when you actually start playing, the game will be as smooth as possible from the very first frame.

But that's not all. List of changes also includes (but is not limited to):

• Lots of eye-candy, such as vegetation and other objects, that reacts to player movement, bullets or explosions.
  
• Boss progress reports, showing how many more you have to defeat to permanently unlock starting the game from subsequent episodes
  
• Lots of new sounds, from ink collecting clinks to enemy flesh being ripped out
  
• Visual loading screens for comic pages, frame by frame
  
• Another batch of freshly picked new levels / rooms
  
• Usual extermination of found bugs

Another news, not directly related to the update, is that all current owners of Fury Unleashed should have received a new item in your Steam Inventory - an 80% off discount coupon for X-Morph: Defense, a mix of tower defense and shooter, made by our good friends at Exor Studios! Make sure to check it out after you've tried the new update for Fury Unleashed.

We're also happy to notice that we've just crossed a milestone of 250 Steam reviews, and we'd like to sincerely thank everyone who has voiced out their support by recommending the game to other Steam users! We really appreciate it!

As always, remember to stay updated with our progress or come chat with us about anything you like on our social media (Discord Facebook Twitter).

Stay awesome!

Hi again!

The last update brought a lot of new features... as well as some bugs, which we're targetting now:

• Critical hits should again work as intended (thanks Nikola for reporting it!)
  
• Skill display at the end of a page on Incredible Mode is incredible now instead of bugged
  
• Sniper Soldier regained his sight and now shoots Fury on... sight (thanks Sherif!)
  
• War Mech boss won't spawn an unlimited amount of projectiles ever again (thanks qaser7!)
  
• Quest timer now stops on sketch events, boss fights etc.
  
• Other small bugfixes

But that's not all! As always, we are adding new features and QoL changes:

• Improved display of information about fast travel on the map screen
  
• You now choose to play single-player or co-op directly from the main menu
  
• Minor tweaks to tutorial level. Sawblades should be much easier to air-dash through
  
• Camera shake adjustment added to gameplay options (thanks Oilyscoob for the suggestion)

Per usual, join us on our social media to stay updated or just to say "Hi!"

Keep calm and unleash the fury!

Hi everyone!

Today’s update brings lots of new things bigger and smaller, as well as many bug fixes and quality of life changes:

Fury’s world becomes even more unstable. From time to time, as you play, you will encounter strange events, which makes the whole comic frame you are in lose colors. Chaos invades the world, and you are forced to fight against it to return it to how it supposed to be… or is it?

Now you can hold two sets of weapons (thanks to cylervan for the suggestion) and switch between them wherever you want by using the corresponding button (by default: C on keyboard, right thumbstick press on gamepad)! No longer will you be forced to use one tool for every situation, as you might want to burn some enemies with a flamethrower and pierce others with laser beams.

Fury’s got new dance moves. Jokes aside, controlling your character feels better than ever with improvements to how he/she snaps to and vault over terrain obstacles. Leave your double jump to when it is needed to crush, kill, and destroy.

Many improvements come to the way how you customize your character. The whole skill tree is now on a single page, branching into three paths in which you can freely upgrade (and downgrade, restoring spent points) your hero to your liking. There are also new skills available, like Stomp Shockwave, Temporary Invulnerability, and Superpower Shield.



Other than that, there are lots of smaller changes and fixes, as in:

• New levels / room configurations and a new type of secret rooms, where you fight waves of enemies (thanks Nikola for the suggestion)
  
• Better audio - new effects and ambient sounds
  
• The map stays open when accessed by quick tapping the corresponding button
  
• Proper loading screen was added
  
• Change in the naming of difficulty levels ("Normal" is now "Hard")
  
• Balance and visual improvements
  
• Total annihilation of reported bugs

We hope you will have as much fun playing the game as we have to create it for you. There is still more to come, mainly in the inclusion of the fourth world: the sketchbook. We are working hard on making it an awesome experience you are all waiting for, so get ready for it!

As always, thank you all for your continuous support as well as hello to every new Fury out there! Remember to stay updated with our progress or come chat with us about anything you like on our social media (Discord Facebook Twitter).

Stay awesome!

Hello everyone,

For a long time now, you’ve only had a few classic guns at your disposal. With today’s update, we’re tripling the number of firearms you’ll find throughout the comic books! The list includes:

- Flamethrowers
- Lasers
- Grenade Launchers
- Crossbows
- Railguns
- Dark Energy Guns
- Blasters
- Impulse Guns
- Acidthrowers
- Plasma Guns
- Alien Rocket Launchers
- Sawblade Launchers
- Alien Shard Launchers
- Nailguns



They are all available for you to find right now, but in the next update we’ll introduce a system of unlocks, and it’ll require a bit of effort to get them. So this is the best time to lay your hands on those weapons!

We would also like to introduce two new fellas – Ninja and The Devil. They may not sound like they belong in the same universe, but as worthy NPCs, they will surely become a beloved part of Fury Unleashed’s world.



The Devil is actually quite a mischievous character – he would never disregard a good, fresh soul. And selling yours to him doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad idea. The transaction will reduce some of your maximum HP, but it will reward you with quite a few neat gameplay bonuses. So if you’ve mastered your dodging skills and don’t need too much HP, you really should consider doing a deal!

Also, if you enjoy an occasional spot of blade-based slaughter, there’s Ninja, who will be happy to send you on several quests and reward you for killing enemies just with your melee weapon. So better start sharpening your stabbing tools!

Okay, so finally the part with major updates is behind us. Time for the minor, yet still interesting ones. Here we go:

- From now on, the Commander X NPC will provide you with more quests, which you will perform on an entire page of the comic book;
- The process of gaining a combo shield by a player now has its own visual effect;
- More visual improvements to the first and second comics;
- Bug fixes and game-balance changes.

Furthermode, we'd like to thank our most active Discord user, 🎃 Sherif 🎃 for loads of bug reports and suggestions! Every bit of feedback is incredibly valuable to us, especially in ths final phase of development. Please keep it coming! (by the way, congrats on beating the Legendary mode!)

That’s it for now; thanks for reading this! Remember to join our social media channels (Discord, Facebook, Twitter) so you’ll never miss anything interesting from the development process.

See you soon!

Now we’re sure this one isn’t something you guys have been expecting as we’ve been silent about it. But this doesn’t mean we haven’t read your comments and Steam reviews. We’ve also been taking a close look at previews and let’s plays.

And based on exactly that – your feedback, we’ve been working hard to update the look of our game and can now finally share the results. So, the next time you launch Steam, download the update and start the game; you’ll notice:

• New lighting effects

• Comic strokes being added
  
• Better quality textures
  
• New effects when killing an opponent using the melee weapon
  
• A bunch of other visual improvements

Of course, we also have something for those of you who don’t really care what the game looks like and who focus more on how it plays. With this new update you’ll be able to enjoy:

• Two new NPCs – Commander X and The Grim Reaper
  
• Three new enemies
  
• Unlockable skins for the hero
  
• New secret rooms
  
• Audio improvements

Hello Heroes!

We have quite a piece for you today. But before we begin, please meet your new companion – Mr. Doodle. Starting today, he will assist you as a guide through the world of Fury Unleashed.



Mr. Doodle will tell you the entire enigmatic story that fills the pages of our comic book. He will be providing narration, leading you through all the blood-curdling battles and struggles. Don’t get us wrong, he won’t help you dispatch any monsters on the way – absolutely not. He just does the talking.

Our pal will introduce you to the stories in the three available comics, and when it’s time to leave Early Access, each story will come to an end with the addition of Epilogue World, which takes place in the sketchbook. Believe us when we tell you: it’s worth the wait!

As usual, we have even more for you today. We really enjoy treating you to new functionalities and seeing you all having fun learning new possibilities and discovering how to beat completely fresh obstacles and opponents. So how about adding a bunch once again?

Here are the details:

• The new NPC – The Order of Eternal Ink, where you can get a blessing for a small fee;
  
• New traps that occur at dark stages;
  
• The possibility to further adjust the Easy difficulty level during the game through an option in the pause menu;
  
• Improved sounds related to your activity in the game (shots, melee attacks, jumps, etc.);
  
• And as usual, bug fixes and performance optimizations.

That’s it for today, Heroes. Thanks for stopping by. If you like what you see, consider following us on our social media (Discord channel, Facebook, and Twitter!) to make sure you’re always up to date with all that we have in store.

Farewell!

Hi everyone!

It's been over a month since the previous update – you've probably collected enough ink to print the entire LOTR novel series ... or an encyclopedia.

Oh, speaking of encyclopedias, we wanted to let you know that we’ve added one to our game! So far it contains only bosses, minibosses and enemies you’ve already encountered in the game, but the following update will also include items that you have stumbled upon. From now on, you will know everything about the world of Fury Unleashed and not miss anything. It's good to have things under control, right? Except the fury, of course!

But you know how it is – the tide of fury never does just one thing at a time. So of course we have more than just this one new addition in store for you today.

What’s new then? Let’s get down to business:

• New soundtrack composed by the duo Skorupa and Wierzynkiewicz that will make your time spent digging into the main menu more enjoyable. There's also a new track that will be played in-game when you score a furious combo.
• New NPC – Gunlord, who will allow you to unlock new initial weapons.
• Three brand new (we would say shiny, but not really) enemies for the first comic.
• Modified customization panel and new alternative hero heads.
• Various minor improvements and bug fixes.

We hope you’re enjoying our game – these new additions will make it even better than before. If you like how the game is developing, please consider consider nominating it for The Steam Awards in one of the available categories:



As always, feel free to leave us feedback on our Discord channel; we check it regularly and it's a great way to motivate the team and give us interesting new ideas to further improve Fury Unleashed! We also have Facebook and Twitter where you can follow us to stay up to date on the current state of development.

Thanks!

Remember us promising that after Gamescom and some initial testing we’d make co-op available sometime in fall? Well, we’re happy to announce that the time is now, and local co-op mode has just been added to our game! So what are you waiting for? Download the update, call your fam, grab some snacks and drinks, find a couch to chill on, and show your enemies that you and your friend are an unstoppable duo!

What? Still reading? Hoping we have something else up our sleeves? Well, seems you know us all too well. You’re right, co-op mode isn’t the only add-on in this update. Here’s a list of other changes you can expect:

• Secret locations to be discovered in random places in the game world
  
• Special golden ink you can get by killing enemies or being a Destructive Fury on a level. You can spend the ink on additional equipment to help you to progress through the game
  
• Elite enemies – not as strong as bosses, but more demanding than regular opponents – adding additional challenges to your playthrough
  
• New NPCs you can meet and interact with on your way through the comic books
  
• New tunes for the third comic book composed by Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz
  
• As usual, some minor bugs were killed and some fixes were implemented

To play Fury Unleashed in co-op mode online using Parsec streaming, just follow the instructions included in the step-by-step guide prepared we’ve made just for you:
Fury Unleashed Parsec co-op guide

There, now you can stop reading and start playing. And once you’re done (for today of course), don’t forget to share your feedback via our Discord channel, Facebook, and Twitter!

Your feedback is really important to us – especially because we’re getting closer to our final release date with every day (early 2019, remember?), so every comment helping us making the game even better is priceless.
Keep on gaming!

We don’t often post updates here, but when we do, we make sure they are worth your time. And today you’ll need quite a lot of it to dig in and go through all we’ve prepared for you. First things first, however, let’s start with the most important piece of news for today, meaning the release date and the game’s title change. Yup, you’ve got that right. The Badass Hero is no more. Please meet Fury Unleashed, that will come to your PCs, PS4s, Xbox Ones, and Nintendo Switches in early 2019!

Now trust us when we tell you that changing the game’s title after we’ve already made it available in Steam Early Access was not an easy decision to make. Nevertheless, it had to be made after we heard many times that it’s causing unnecessary controversy and is a turn off for people who otherwise might have been interested in it. Furthermore, after months of development The Badass Hero’s art style changed so massively, that reflecting that change with a new name was a good idea to disconnect it from the first screenshots and trailers that were released in 2016. Last, but not least, we’ve experienced significant difficulties promoting the game due to some social media’s profanity filters. However, one thing that hasn't changed is the skill-based, action-packed gameplay with a combo system that will reward you for playing like a badass.

Okay, okay, the title changed, noted, what about the local co-op feature? When will it become available? We’ll be running some tests during this year’s Gamescom, and if all goes well, we should be able to let you experience some epic boss fights hand in hand with your best buddy sometime around fall this year. Keep an eye out for a more precise date that we’ll be posting in the next updates here!

Still starving for more good news? Great! How about we tell you that we haven’t really shown you all that awaits you in our game? And that there will be some secret rooms to discover along your heroic adventure? Check out our newest trailer for a sneak-peak of what’s to come. Just remember to watch it till the end. Good things happen to people, who don’t skip credits.

Finally, the cherry on our cake, especially for you music freaks out there. The new set of soundtracks for the second comic book from the Skorupa–Wierzynkiewicz duo is here. Check it out (right after you check out the trailer) and let us know what you think about both. Our Discord, Facebook, and Twitter are all open and waiting for your feedback!

You asked for it, we promised to deliver, and here it is! From now on you can play not only as a badass looking male character but also a female one. And trust us when we tell you, the girls in our game are equally as capable of kicking alien butts as the guys. If not more. It took them a while to join the fight, so now they are all pumped, ready, and impatient for some serious action. Don’t take our word for it though, look at the ladies below and you’ll discover that “fight like a girl” just got a whole new meaning.



But it’s not the only good news we have for you today! Fighting bad guys is fun but doing so while listening to an awesome music score is a real treat. Especially if the composers behind the tune are no other than Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz themselves! Does The Witcher soundtrack ring a bell? Shadow Warrior 2 maybe? Bulletstorm? Yep, that’s those guys, and we’re thrilled to have them working on The Badass Hero track. For now, you can listen to their music in the first comic book but don’t worry, more is coming.

We've also made several balance changes, including much requested built-in Fast Travel and Combo Shields (especially important in New Game+ modes), as well as significant optimization improvements and regular bug fixes.

And as always, we want to know your thoughts on the latest changes, so don’t be shy, and share your feedback either via our Discord channel, Facebook, or Twitter!
