Sweet Surrender VR - SalmiGames
Hello friends,

We’re excited to release another major update to Sweet Surrender, full of improvements and completely free. Building on our previous visual revamp from Update 10, we’ve focused on adding further visual details and satisfying effects to the game.

Visual Improvements
We’ve gone through the whole game and added higher quality objects, particles and animations to our environments.




We've added more detailed meshes everywhere, new and improved particle effects and custom animations.

We would have loved to include these in the game a long time ago. Our massive Update 10 finally opened the door for us to do a full pass on the environment models. These improvements help bring the world further to life.

We can’t wait for you to experience them and we look forward to your feedback!

EMP Chips Balancing
We’ve completely reworked the Mobile Malware EMP chips to offer a better gameplay balance. Previously, the EMP chips could easily be abused to turn the game into “easy mode”. It’s taken us several iterations but we’ve reworked the chips in a way that they feel more balanced in terms of cooldown duration, chance of doing a stun and bullet firing rate. As you can imagine, it is challenging to balance an EMP chip so that it feels fair both with a double-barrel shotgun and a SMG.

This rework also lets us better balance the new and improved final boss fight. With our last update, it was too easy to stun and skip most of the Boss’ attack phases.

We are quite curious to hear your feedback on these latest balancing changes.

Grenade Launcher and Explosion Chips Balancing
In Update 12 we made quite a few improvements and changes to the Grenade Launchers. We’ve made further improvements to better balance them:
  • Increased range of grenade launchers during boss fights
  • Explosion damage stack additively now (instead of exponentially)
  • Rebalanced Explosion Impact chips (both spread and damage amount)

We plan on making further improvements to the Grenade Launchers and related chips in future updates (including making the enemies more adept at using grenade launchers).

Halloween
This the season for spookiness and silliness. We’ve added another time-sensitive event that enables Halloween-themed changes to the game. You can experience the “Halloween Mode” visuals (and gentle nods to other games) until November 7th!

Next Steps
We continue to monitor player feedback and work on further improvements to the game. Our next update is shaping up to be a big pass on Chips and Balancing and perhaps, new upgrades.

We’d love to continue working on Sweet Surrender. If you want to see more updates, please tell your friends and/or leave a nice review. Every bit helps.

With love,
Salmi Games

Think the 80s were just neon colors, big hair and synth music? Think again. From ‘Stranger Things’ to ‘Ready Player One’, the 80s keep showing up in modern games and movies. It was a decade famous for pushing limits and having fun - two things ASCENDANT nails from the jump, as we’re all about trying to recapture the loudest, weirdest, “WTF-is-this” vibe you could ever lay eyes on. So, even if you were still chilling in your dad's ball bag when the 80s were in full swing, ASCENDANT is about to drop you right in the middle of the chaos… FPS style.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter shooters, ASCENDANT launches you into a chaotic biopunk nightmare. Forget dull grey maps and forgettable characters - in ASCENDANT you’re stepping into a vibrant hellscape where hotpants and leg warmers (somehow) survived the apocalypse, and every match makes you feel like you’re one rage quit away from smashing up your PC (pro-tip: Play better. You’re welcome). As one player put it, “GAME LOOKS UNREAL! Been playing in open beta and it’s really fun and great concept! Can’t wait for full release.” Taking on a lighthearted approach while still delivering intense gameplay is a hallmark of ASCENDANT, making it stand out in a sea of serious shooters.

ASCENDANT is a celebration of everything that makes the 80s so iconic, fusing nostalgia with modern gaming that allows you to RSVP to a party you thought you’d missed out on. One player said it best: “Amazing comedy mixed with 70s/80s era in an action-packed arena of foul language! So good for the soul.”, and you’ll for sure feel that infectious energy as you encounter game changing events in each match, bringing the chaotic spirit of the decade back to life.

If you love FPS games like Apex Legends, Warzone, or Fortnite, you owe it to yourself to check out ASCENDANT. Wishlist ASCENDANT, gear up to dive headfirst into a world that’s unapologetically outrageous, and get ready to embrace the unexpected.
