WARNING: This update will reset ongoing roguelike runs due to the major changes to the traits system!!! It's available for all platforms, with Pico to follow soon.

Hi Hellsweepers,

Coming in hot from the Wrath Update earlier this year, we’ve got a bag of new goodies to keep your sweeps in hell frantic, formidable and FRESH!

The Ascension Update delivers the community-requested overhaul of the traits system, more elemental variants of Wrath, new ways to play melee and more! We’re able to keep updates coming because of your support. So, if you enjoy Hellsweeper, tell your friends, leave a positive review and most of all, have fun Hellsweeping!

P.S. We're also working on a new roadmap which we plan to unveil soon.



Let’s start with the big one. We’ve heard your pleas and by popular demand, equipping traits has been streamlined to make them more accessible yet impactful. This overhaul essentially -

• Reduces the need to memorize more complex recipes for forging stronger traits.
  
• Streamlines the number of UI panels during forging.
  
• Shifts some of the more fun traits into a new category so they can be equipped at the start of the run instead of having to forge them later or relying on RNG.

Traits are now also divided into four categories:

• Normal & Rare: Both types can be equipped at the start of the run but Rare traits are more powerful and sell for more obols.
  
• Forged: Functionality remains the same, but the recipes have been simplified.
  
• Special: Reserved for traits with conflicting effects (e.g. Pump Action and Lever Action for the Shotgun). These significantly modify skills, are not stackable, and have their own specified slot. They can be brought into the run if equipped.

We’ve also removed the trait limit because… there’s always room for chaos.

Lastly, you can now sell unwanted traits for Obols. There’s a lot you can do with a couple extra Obols in your pocket. ;)

With great power comes great responsibility, great enough to need both your hands to carry the sheer weight. We’ve made the Sword and Axe more deadly with some new two-handing bonuses!

Holding the Sword with both hands will increase the hit range of your blade, perfect for those enemies that are just a little out of reach.



Nothing strikes fear into demons like a spinning blade of death! Holding the Axe with both hands will now conjure a buzzsaw to cut through your foes.



We introduced Wrath in our previous update to round off the seven deadly sins. Now, it’s back with a vengeance! With new Frost and Volt variants, they’re deadlier than ever and seeking to throw a wrench into your runs.





Get ready for some next-level immersion! With the integration of bHaptics on Meta Quest, as well as improved integration on Steam, your dangerous encounters with the demons of Hell are about to feel more real than ever before!

Hey everyone.

Just a quick info. Today we are happy to let you know that the demo has been updated, adding the full translation for German/Deutsch.

This is due to our participation in the Steam festival "Games baked in Germany" which will be starting today.

Make sure to share the demo with your friends and wishlist BETRAYED on Steam.

We’re really happy to see that you’re satisfied with the teaser trailer and waiting for more. In case some of you haven’t seen it, take a look:


There's been a lot going on in the studio since we started the works and we’ve decided to share with you some behind the scenes so that you could see how we bring to life your beloved card game created by LockMe and Board&Dice! 🤗 In the first Dev Diary we’d like to focus on the process of that you would see in the final product.



🃏 At the very beginning, our graphics team had carefully studied the location cards in order to be able to put it 1:1 from the physical version of the game to the digital one. Both location cards were joined to create the whole basement and the sections were divided into squares to see what elements fit which space. Then, the whole location looked like this:


🃏 Later, the standard version of the location cards was exported and the team prepared the whole location so that it would not include the interactive elements. Next, all of these elements were separated from the location to bring it as a whole to the digital dimension. Square by square, the graphics team paid attention to every detail to transfer all the interactive elements visible on the location cards, such as the safe, tools or chest. 🛠️ They separated the elements from the basement location and transferred it to the digital realm.




🐟 In the paper version of the game, the location is shown with two cards, each showing half of the room. To see the whole room, you have to line up the bottom edges of these cards. This can look a bit strange because one half of the picture is flipped upside down, which can make it hard to understand the room's shape, where things are, or what you need to do in the game based on the pictures. 🚪


🐟 To fix this problem, our team used a fisheye perspective, which makes the whole room look balanced and unified, no matter where objects are. This gives the player the feeling of looking down at the room from above, making it easy to see everything clearly, even the walls that are at different angles.

🐟 Also, changing straight lines into curved ones makes the picture look softer and easier on the eyes. This helps the player’s eyes move smoothly over the image without hitting any sharp edges. It makes the game feel more smooth and flexible.


🐟 Since this perspective doesn't happen naturally and is made by bending light in a special way, it looks unique and interesting. This makes the picture (and the game) more memorable and less ordinary. 🧠

🐟 Labeling objects is also important with the fisheye perspective. Since it looks like a camera lens effect, the labels get distorted too. The final effect can be seen below:



We’ve prepared for you a little fun fact:
😎 The height of the camera above the room is of no small importance here - the lower it is, the more pronounced and surreal the curves become. 😎

We hope that this piece of info will introduce you better to the digital world of Escape Tales: The Awakening. 😃 Stay tuned for more info and the next part of the Dev Diary coming in two weeks! 😍

Skogul, a Content Creator and one of the first to play Persist Online, will be streaming live on YouTube for everyone interested in the game. The stream starts on Friday, June 21st at 6 PM CEST, so make sure to tune in here: https://www.youtube.com/@SkogulTheGiant.

One of the main topics will be: Is it worth grinding for skills early in the game? Can I survive using only skills and no weapons?

Skogul has been with us since the very beginning of our development. While he can answer many questions, he might not be able to cover everything during the stream. If you have any unanswered questions afterward, join our Discord or start a discussion here on Steam and we will address them as soon as possible.

Please note: We are still in the pre-alpha phase, so everything you see is subject to change as we balance and refine the game's content for optimal playability.

To those of you who have followed our changelogs for a while, you might be surprised at the relatively small size of this one. This is because most of the content in this update is brand new and far reaching, and due to that many of the additions and changes we've made would not make a lot of sense if spelled out on their own. It is safe to say that Update 1.7 "Kahwah" is massive and will introduce a whole new dimension to your Victoria 3 experience, and once you get your hands on it you will see what I mean! In the meantime, I will be happy to answer any of your questions in the official comments section[a].


Next week Martin "Wiz" Anward will return to say a few words about his take on Sphere of Influence post-launch, and I hope you join us again then! Please pop in and say hi on Discord, and let us know what you think of Update 1.7 "Kahwah" and Sphere of Influence!
