All Hell-ows' Eve is upon us, and we are celebrating this terrifying season by bringing you...









The enemies now have special sound effects and are dressed to kill! Or be killed rather.




Slain enemies drop Nihl Bonbon—candies that can be used to obtain limited time in-game items* (listed below). To do this, interact with the mysterious UFO that landed at the end of the Archology bridge. Drop chance: 10%.

*IMPORTANT: You have to own a specific base armor set or a specific weapon in order to upgrade it to the Halloween version. Your base weapon or armor piece is replaced by the Halloween version; weapon level is reset.

• 
  (Base weapon: Pipe)
  
  If one cannot get rid of a skeleton, he might at least make it dance.
  
  
  
• 
  (Base weapon: Column)
  
  What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
  
  
  
• 
  (Base weapon: Shard)
  
  Empties the insides like nothing else!

Your Omnicube is now just an unidentified flying object.





A spooky version of the Hellpoint theme that you can listen to using your Omnicube.





:: Patch v360 ::

• Added the UPnP indicator to the Online tab; shows whether UPnP is detected:
  
  1. Red: No UPnP
     
  2. Green: UPnP is available
  In case someone has a restrictive NAT (Yellow or Red), UPnP allows to bypass that, providing a better connectivity
  
  
• Tweaked the NAT indicator to better reflect the port status
  
• Added backup connection on the default UDP port
  
• Fixed lighting in OpenGL in the Sentient boss fight
  
• Optimization in the Atrium
  
• Prevented the player from getting stuck in Ozy's pit in the underworld
  
• Fixed inventory desync in the online co-op mode
  
• Fixed a shader in the Arisen Congregators' "Pyramid" attack
  
• Fixed a number of rare crashes
  
• Silenced tinyBeast's footsteps

:: "Ambition draws our kind ever closer to God. One step at a time, one star at a time. This is the golden age of humanity.

But how long will it last?" ::


Hellpoint, and its lore in particular, has a lot of secrets to uncover. We decided to reveal just some of them that you probably weren't aware of.


⚫



Spending generations in space has had a dramatic effect on the constitution of the human body. Lack of sunlight made the skin paler and the pupil much larger. Inevitable loss of hair created a thriving wig industry on far away space stations.




Having two thumbs on each hand enhances the capabilities in different fields of human activity, including the most ancient one: combat.




⚫



The suit that the spawn is wearing was issued for pioneers and settlers that needed long periods of autonomy. It regulates body temperature, grants additional strength with nanomotors and handles nutrition and water recycling.





⚫



All vegetation on Irid Novo has been artificially engineered to thrive under very unnatural conditions. You can see the synthetic design if you look closely. It requires no sunlight and is still able to filter the air and grow by itself, assuming it is being maintained regularly, which hasn't happened in a while…
