Phew, this was a tough one! 'Pick a category you think Hypnospace excels in'

Well...

It's Steam Awards season, and you can nominate Hypnospace Outlaw! We're glad so many folks have enjoyed the game and its stories, and we'd love to be put up for another award!



It's been an incredible year for Hypnospace Outlaw. We went from having a game we weren't entirely sure how to describe to people, to an IGF nominated, roundly loved and widely covered game that so many people fell in love with. So many have followed Zane, Corey, Dylan and the others and we're always surprised at the theories and new stories players have come up with! We've seen fan art, read theories and watched OCs develop and grow in the universe, and we've been blown away at every step. Thank you!

The future of Hypnospace is definitely bright, with some secrets well on the way and modding now available through Mod.io, so now everyone can tell their own stories and share them with the world. We're excited to see what you make, and where Hypnospace goes from here!



Thank you for sharing an amazing year with us, we can't wait to see what's next and share it with you =]

Thanks for your nominations and until next time,

Tendershoot, Mike Lasch, ThatWhichIsMedia and No More Robots

Hello Age of Empires kings, queens, and emperors! It’s that time of year when the Steam awards show up to shine a spotlight on the biggest games and communities out there. This year, however, there’s a new contender on the battlefield...!

Now that Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is available to the world, it's up to you to consider nominating it for a 2019 Steam award. We suggest the Labor of Love category; not only is it a proper title for the definitive remaster of a classic game, but a glowing recognition of the community that has kept it going strong over these past 20 years!

Go ahead! Make your voice heard during this year’s Steam awards; we hope to see you on the podium!

—The Age of Empires Team

Hi everyone,

This update not only adds new content and features to the game, but improves the gameplay experience with a ton of "quality of life" features... including some popular & long-standing requests from the community. There's also an enormous amount of bug fixes and some optimizations improvements--in short, the game is more polished than ever. I hope this update will greatly improve your Stardew Valley experience, and make your time in the valley even more joyful, seemless, and fun.

Below is a very, very condensed version of the 1,4 changelog, with spoilers hidden.

• A new mystery to the abandoned JojaMart ...

• The social tab now keeps track of villagers' likes and dislikes (click on a villager's icon)
  
• Marlon can now recover an item for you after getting knocked out in the mines
  
• You now have the option to play multiplayer with separate money coffers, instead of shared.
  
• Huge amount of Quality of Life improvements, like being able to stack "big" items (like kegs), or seeing the Junimo Note icon pulse when hovering over an item that's required for a bundle.
  
• 14 new music tracks!
  
• Hundreds of bug fixes

Again, please keep in mind this is a highly condensed version of the changelog that leaves out a lot of details. The actual changelog is much too long to paste here, but if you'd like to see the complete, spoiler-filled version, please check out this link.

I hope you have fun with the new update, and as always, thanks for playing Stardew Valley!

-ConcernedApe

Edit: Expect a few hotfixes to come out today, to resolve a couple of uncaught bugs.
So far:
-Game will no longer crash when sending an emoji by itself
-Fix for incorrect stone strength & monster spawns in levels 10-30 of the mines

Let's face it. Most of us suck at Trailmakers.

At least compared to some of the insane vehicles and inventions some players put up on the Steam Workshop. Some of that stuff is downright HUMBLING - even for us developers.

I mean, who builds a fully functional Vigenere Cipher Machine?! Kezo the Cabra does…

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1918326155

Or what about this self-landing SpaceX Starship by Esh?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1903958914

Here is one of my personal favorites for when I really want to feel like a failure at the game. Martysama’s 3-part pirate ship “The Midnights Curse”. Three complexity-limit interlocking ship parts that can be assembled to a massive Man O’ War with manual control deck, turning sail, secret weapon console, accessible lower deck, and lots of hidden features.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1870832484
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1870833007

If you feel like I do, vote for Trailmakers in the “Best Game You Suck At” category of the Steam Awards. But don't forget: Suckin' at something is the first step to being sorta good at something.

Hello Racers!!

Let us start by first thanking you all for all the support that each and every one of you has shown not just during the Early Access phase but all through the development of the game. Dozens of users spent hours playing each level and each season and came back to us with their detailed feedback which was absolutely central to our efforts in improving and optimising Rude Racers. So once again, a BIG thanks to you all for being super awesome!

Ever since the game was launched in late October this year, hundreds have played and enjoyed Rude Racers- bikes have been sent flying into concrete walls, thousands of barrels have exploded and the cops.. boy have they got their work cut out in dealing with you reckless street racers!

Our ambition with Rude Racers was to make a fun racing game that could keep the users engaged with a tremendous variety in the types of events while being the first proper racing game where melee combat was deeply ingrained into its basic concept and played a major part in how the users develop strategies and build their own unique style as they power through the races in the different season.

You've helped this far and now we call upon you to please consider nominating Rude Racers for the 2019 Steam Awards. Now we might not win and that's fine but we always have looked at our users as a part of the team-- you guys are in it just as much as ourselves so why not try and see where we can take Rude Racers :)

So go ahead, drop us a nomination and if we get big, you get big too! Turbo Tommy even got a suit on in anticipation (though he couldn't get the helmet off!)

Anyone who has played Rude Racers would agree that the game has a way of really pushing you to the limit of your driving and combat skills. With dangerous obstacles, menacing cops and the intense, relentless competition of the races, our users have constantly told us how there are few other games that can top the satisfaction that one feels after beating a challenging event in Rude Racers! It's always had that "one more race" appeal to it and we have worked quite hard to keep that intensity and addiction at the centre of the overall experience.

It is for this reason that we have picked the nomination category as the "Best Game You Suck At" because despite the consistently high level of challenge and it's unrivalled intensity that will punish your slightest mistake, Rude Racers will always have you coming back for more edge-of-your-seat racing action!

We are updating Underlords today with the Outlanders, a new Alliance, a speedy game mode, a new new player experience, and a partridge in a pear tree. If you'd like to see the pretty version of these update notes, check out our sparkly Outlanders website.

Let’s get started, shall we?


White Spire has five new heroes in town, and the Underlords can't wait to get them fighting for their crews. Snapfire and Void Spirit are new to both Dota 2 and Underlords, while the three Spirits are just tagging along to keep their long lost Spirit cousin company.

Snapfire - Snapfire is a Dragon Inventor. She provides ranged support for the crew and will periodically fire a shotgun blast and slow enemy attack rate. If the Dragon Alliance is active, her lizard mount fires globs of fire at the enemy.

Void Spirit - Void Spirit is a Spirit Warlock and is the Ace of Spirits. He is a melee attacker and his Dissimilate ability allows him to create portals and perform sneak attacks on opponents. Void Spirit’s Ace ability makes charged Spirits deal 100% more damage.

Spirit Alliance - Void Spirit didn’t head to White Spire on his own. He brought a few cousins with him: Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit, and Earth Spirit. When three of the spirits are on the board together and charged, they fire off the Triangular Delta Slam. This damages all enemy heroes within and applies each spirit’s elemental effects.


We’ve added a new fast-paced game mode called Knockout. In Knockout, every player begins by choosing a starting crew of 5 heroes. It only takes two heroes to combine, and players level up automatically every other round. Each player has 4 strikes (losses) before they get knocked out and games last an average of 10 minutes. Players are matched up in a pseudo bracket and will only be fighting against other players with the same or similar health. Full game rules in the patch notes below.

We are starting with Knockout Casual and will soon be adding Ranked. And of course we taught our bots how to play Knockout, so players will be able to get some quick bot games in. The team has been having way too much fun playtesting this internally and we’re excited to get in the queue with the rest of the community!


As we get closer to shipping Season 1, we want to make sure the onboarding flow is as smooth as possible for new Underlords. With this update we’ve added a new tutorial in which Ricky Ravenhook quickly teaches new players the basic concepts in Underlords.

This tutorial only gets triggered for players who have played less than three games of Underlords and only shows up once. If you’d like to run the tutorial manually, it can be found as a game mode under “Bot Match”.


The team continues to make updates and improvements to the in-game UI. This update comes with a significant design pass to the both PC and Mobile UI, making things more legible, tappable / clickable, and visually balanced for all players regardless of device. This work is ongoing, and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
