The last several weeks a lot of work has gone into improving the experience for creating and selling consoles. Some of those changes include -

Console Game Bonus System Now how many games your console has released for it, and the quality of your games (as well if they are exclusives) has a significant impact on the sales of your console. With a few exclusive 90%+ hit games you can quickly boost your weekly console sales, with the overall potential of your library being able to reach a +300% sales bonus. When you release a console, you'll find all the needed information on the console sidebar tab detailing this system. Having a game pass on your console influences your console sales also.

Console Durability The quality of your technicians will now affect the durability of your console, additionally you can set the warranty length for your console which will impact both your cost and sales.

Console optimization You can further optimize your released consoles to decrease their overall production cost and increase their durability. This will allow you to drive down the cost of your pricey new console, with the sale price having a greater influence on how many consoles you sell each week. Hype also has a bigger impact on your console sales.

Some other additions include a market dominance mechanic for custom engines, changes to retro games, several balance improvements and a host of bug fixes. You'll find the full patch notes listing below.


We are excited to be reaching the conclusion of our over 2 year Early Access journey but we're not done yet! We still need any and all bug reports you may have, feedback on the game balance and your input on suggestions of what can be improved. While not everything can be implemented, we are always listening and taking into account the feedback we get from our community.

We got asked this question a lot and there were some initial misunderstandings/miscommunication and assumptions that it was a Metroidvania when the game was initially announced. We would just like to emphasize the fact that we never wanted to call it a Metroidvania and tried to avoid using the term. But everyone knows how the digital space is out of our control as a small team of indie game devs.

Honestly speaking, we drew inspirations from celebrated titles, including Ori and the Blind Forest, which influenced the aerial aspect of the controller, providing a sense of freedom and fluidity in movement. Celeste served as a structural blueprint, shaping the game's platforming challenges, and delivering a captivating narrative that unfolds with each step of the adventure. Taking cues from Super Meat Boy, Elypse features a dynamic controller and the exhilarating die-and-retry aspect, ensuring an adrenaline-fueled experience that will keep players hooked.

We tried our best infusing Elypse with their spirit while adding our own innovative gameplay elements. It's a fusion of platforming, challenging gameplay and storytelling that offers players a fresh and challenging adventure. While Elypse shares some artistic similarities with metroidvania games, it is more of an action-adventure 2D-Platformer, and we tried to offer a unique experience that sets it apart.



The journey of developing Elypse has been an incredible one, shaped by the passion and dedication of the talented team at Hot Chili Games. Over the course of two years, a close-knit group of friends and developers poured their hearts and souls into this project. Hot Chili Games, founded in 2020, brought together individuals who shared a common vision and an unwavering commitment to creating remarkable gaming experiences.

We were five people in total, 1 producer, 2 artists and 2 developers. The actual game development took about 18 months. Through countless hours of hard work, collaboration, and overcoming challenges, Elypse has evolved into a labor of love that showcases the team's talent, creativity, and determination.



Yes, the game has been out on PC since 17 May 2023, and it does support controllers. It is available on Steam, GoG, Epic stores. I think we got some player feedback about the game running smoothly on their Steamdeck. Also, we would like to add here that a lot of people were looking for the demo and as per tradition/usual, we took off the demo on the day of the release.

Regarding the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch versions, while it's not officially confirmed, I can share with our curious and supportive community that they can expect it very soon, possibly within the next month.
