I'm overjoyed to finally be able to discuss everything that's in been development - but secret - for the past year. This spring (release date TBD), Invisigun Heroes will launch on consoles (Switch, PS4, Xbox One), with a massive amount of new content. The update will go live for all desktop players at the same time. Many more details will emerge in the near future, but here's a quick overview of the new content:

• The Hero's Journey: This brand new single player campaign presents you with a challenging set of puzzle rooms for every hero that culminate in a boss fight. The rooms and boss will require that particular hero's ability to solve, and they provide a ton of offline content to enjoy while at the same time better preparing you for multiplayer strategies.
  
  
• 3 New Heroes: Completing the new single player journeys will unlock the new heroes: Zephyr, Djaan-Khe, and Violet. The specifics of their identities and abilities are still a surprise.
  
  
• Unlockables: Completing the journeys will also earn you a brand new shot style you can choose when selecting heroes. The rooms also have collectible microchips that provide an additional challenge on top of just completing it, and picking them up will unlock more and more scoreboard emotes for use in multiplayer battles.

To commemorate such a joyous occasion and the 2-year anniversary of Invisigun's desktop launch, it's 50% off for the next two weeks - and all the content above is on the way for free!

Remember those times when you were supposed to save Ciri but stopped by the sea to admire the views? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

Turns out you really liked these sights because The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt won in the Best Environment category of Steam Awards 2018! On this occasion Lucjan Więcek, our Environment Art Director, wanted to thank everyone who voted for our game!

Hope you like the new level selector! Have fun everyone!

The Ninja class has just been released! Find Thyton (the guy in the golden spartan looking helm who may or may not be a ninja...) in town. He will show you the way... of the ninja. But beware! The path to becoming a ninja is fraught with peril... and new craftable item and armor sets.



Rule #1: Ninjas are sneaky. Ninjas... are ALWAYS sneaky. If you saw this coming, it wouldn't be a "ninja release".



In this week's new area, there are a ton of new permanent Thyton armor and item sets that you can craft.



Because if you're only training half the day, your wasting half the day. Lightbringers do not believe perfection is attainable.. (their armor is for the record)... but they believe in the relentless pursuit of becoming perfect. In doing this, they prepare their mind, body, and spirit for unthinkable threats.









We have received an overwhelmingly positive response from players that all of the items in Thyton's new area are craftable (no $$$ required) and permanent.



Meanwhile! Reko is a long-time friend and ninja competitor. For his submission video this year he creatively used AdventureQuest 3D footage. Want to see it?


Look ma, I'm only 10 years too late to this party. But I am plastering my instagram with behind the scenes pics and videos of the team and myself. Follow @artix to see all the seeeecrets (and potential blackmail material).




We hope you love this week's new Thyton adventure and achieve your goal of adding the Ninja class to your arsenal. Thyton is part of a team tracking down villains with unusual powers ("Most Wanted" seen in the image above.) This is the 1st of what will be a series of yearly releases that take place on the real-life Thyton's birthday. If you have been enjoying our new feature and adventure releases, please consider supporting us by becoming a Guardian or buying some DragonCrystals. Next up, we are working on the Kingdom of Battleon and the revamp of DoomWood-- including the Tower of Necromancy.

Battle on!
Artix & the AdventureQuest 3D Team

P.S. Meanwhile... Vane has been securing his fortress and pantheon of villains.

We've been busy and can now announce Primal Pursuit is coming to Steam this February 28. We also have a spicy new trailer for you! Please share it with friends and add us to your wishlists if you haven't already.

Thanks to everybody that has followed us this far and we hope we can give you a great game come release day.

First of all, we've been working on pre-Early Access Beta availability, and we're happy to offer it via itch.io - https://chaosforge.itch.io/jupiterhell! Buying BETA access through itch.io will still provide you a Steam key at Early Access! We're not sure if we will still be distributing/updating via itch.io after Steam Early Access launches. If you're a backer of Jupiter Hell at the player level below BETA access and want to upgrade to BETA, e-mail us at ( support at chaosforge org ) with your Kickstarted data (backer number and e-mail used) for a 75%-off coupon for the BETA - (you will still be entitled to only one Steam key though!). At this moment the BETA costs more than the game at Early Access release (to be fair to Kickstarter Backers). The game will have a lower price at Early Access launch - tentatively scheduled for June.


Time to wrap up the 0.4.x line and release 0.5.0! Vulkan is still WIP, but to offset that we bring you some juicy gameplay additions! There's a whopping total of 6 new traits this release, all of them fairly interesting. For the defence we have Die Hard and Second Wind, Scavenger for ammo management, Reload Dance, Run'n'Gun and Field Medic to round things off.

We also present a basic version of the player data screen - you can check your deaths, wins and kills - medals and badges will follow at some point in the future!

Apart from that, the usual round of minor balancing, tweaks and fixes has also been done.

Check out below for the full changelog!

We await for your feedback (especially on the new traits)!



Restart Steam to force the update!

Next update (0.5.1) should follow in around two weeks, stay tuned!

Introductions to the team are going well, and you are learning more and more about the dev and their work on Edge of Eternity! Now, it’s time to hear the thoughts of our talented music composer (and not all the musics are from Yasunori Mitsuda :p )



"Cédric Menendez, I’m in charge of audio for EoE (Music, SFX, Integration) and I compose most of the musics you will hear in game. For Edge of Eternity, I try to keep an old school RPG’s way of composing, with lot of melodies and emotions.



At the moment, I’m recording instruments for the second chapter of the game and mixing new soundtracks for the next update: Nekaroos, Farm, Cave, Old Herelsor and Dungeon to name a few.
I cannot wait for you to fight the final boss!"

Just in time for the weekend, we have another 40 or so fixes, including an optimisation that should greatly improve performance in the storylet interface.

We'll release at least one more patch next week, and we're expecting to say a little about our future plans then as well. In the meantime, thank you again for your enthusiasm, patience and support!

The Sky is Yours,
