Six Inches Under Supraland is in extensive testing by our crowdfunding backers and doing well. Expect the release in mid january! We would have released in late december, but releasing during a xmas sale is a very bad idea because you get zero visibility in the store.
Wishlist and follow here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1522870/Supraland_Six_Inches_Under/


Supraland 2 will be called Supraworld and I have two very early production screenshots
A very unfinished start village:



An egg that you very much want to open! (No more finding barrels!)


Don't ask about release dates for Supraworld. It's far away.

The first of two updates we're releasing in November is now live. Patch notes and some extra detail below:

• New Game + mode (Random extra enemies and enemy respawns)
  
• Can use Firefight mutator unlocks in Campaign mode
  
• Gravity Gun arm cannon mode
  
• Lots of new small objects in world to throw around with the Gravity Gun
  
• 13 new Steam Achievements tied to Campaign
  
• Workshop levels can have Campaign objectives
  
• Overhauled 'Apartments' Campaign level
  
• Clearer enemy and objective outlines
  
• Lobber and RPG rounds now have tracer effect
  
• Level editor now supports user made props
  
• Reduced frequency of NPCs crouching in combat
  
• Update UE4 to 4.27.1
  
• Updated DLSS to latest
  
• Added hidden debug cam for content creators
  
• Fixed issue where kicking a door would sometimes hit door frame
  
• Fixed enemies hiding too well in lower admin campaign

• Fixed issue where NPCs would spawn without squad orders
  
• 'Estate' level can now also be damaged by explosives
  
• Option to disable camera roll
  
• Can no longer pickup empty weapons

Completing Campaign mode now unlocks New Game + on the Main Menu. As well as keeping you on your toes by remixing enemy placement, NG+ gives you the chance to play through Campaign with any unlocked Mutators switched on, and lets you choose which arm cannon you want to equip.



Unlocked by completing 10 Firefight challenges, this new arm cannon lets you pick up, hold, and throw a variety of objects, enabling even more opportunities for gameplay experimentation. For example, you can grab and hold enemy shields to provide on-the-fly cover, and you can pluck rockets mid-air and reverse their trajectory for an explosive sucker punch, like so:



There are 13 new achievements to grab, which doubles the overall total to 26. The full list can be found on the Achievements page, but here are a couple of the new ones to give you a taster of what to expect:

FIRE IN THE HOLE: Beat the 'Greens' campaign level with the 'Floor Is Lava' mutator
OFF THE HINGES: Beat the 'Corridor' campaign level while equipped with the 'Gravity Gun' arm cannon

There's a second update coming later this month and, as previously mentioned, there will also be updates next year, which will include new and extended Campaign levels. We'll have more info closer to the time. For now, have fun with New Game + and getting acquainted with the Gravity Gun!

For those who missed the Steam Digital Tabletop Fest, the broadcasts are now available to watch on YouTube. You’ll find details of our developer sessions below, but be sure to check out the Fest’s playlist for heaps of other great streams and panels.

Auroch Digital’s Tomas Rawlings gets to know Robert Kurvitz, the lead designer and writer behind the critically acclaimed RPG, Disco Elysium. Discover how Disco Elysium evolved out of physical role-playing games, what inspires Robert in his game design, and just how expansive the dialogue trees in the game are!


When we think of an RPG we often think of a fantasy setting with dragons, elves, magic swords and trolls. However there is a huge amount of titles that opt to be set not in fantasy but in sci-fi settings; with technology, dystopias, space, spaces that feel contemporary, inhospitable planets or a setting that re recognise some and yet other aspects of fantastical. This panel explores the attraction of the sci-fi (or non-fantasy) setting for RPGs and how it approaches world-building.


Remember that we are still optimising the game where possible so please keep reporting issues to us via our bug report.

Thank you to our wonderful community for your continued love, support and incredible fan art!

All the best and stay safe,
ZA/UM
