Serious Sam’s Bogus Detour is an all-new action-adventure in the legendary Serious Sam saga from Hammerwatch developer Crackshell. Battle through beautiful Mediterranean locales, dangerous biological weapons labs and even high-tech moon bases as a one-man wrecking crew or in four-player online cooperative for maximum chaos! Dominate the chaotic Survival and Versus modes or make your own mods, modes, and even total conversions with the included game editor. Serious Sam’s Bogus Detour is the biggest little Serious Sam game ever made!

The Serious Sam series began as the prototypical indie game with developer Croteam existing as a group of childhood friends working on a groundbreaking tech demo in a garage. The series has gone on to sell millions of copies and recently branched into virtual reality with a collection of Serious Sam VR games. Serious Sam’s Bogus Detour is a return to these indie roots and a continuation of the Serious Sam Indie Series that includes Vlambeer’s Serious Sam: The Random Encounter and Mommy’s Best Games’ Serious Sam Double D.

This is just a minor release with some bug fixes.

• Fixed multiple musics playing at the same time in custom games

Hopefully this new version will fix a lot of issues, but if the old version worked better for you it is still available, just go in to properties on Hammerwatch, go to the Betas tab and select 1.3 in the drop down list.

• Added slight directional effect to sound effects via panning (can be turned off in options)
  
• Auto-fire is a bit faster now

Technical:

• Replaced the OpenAL sound engine with FMOD
  
• Added Steam integration for 64-bit Linux systems
  
• Updated Mono on Linux/Mac version
  
• Updated the Steam API

Editor features:

• Removed 100mb Steam Workshop limit
  
• Sound effects can now be .ogg
