Look alive, Renegades! The following changes are available in HAWKED as of the latest update on Thursday, November 14, 2024. Update your game to play the latest version of HAWKED for free on your platform of choice.

This major content update will introduce the next exciting chapter of HAWKED — Issue #3: Worlds Beyond.
Team up in swashbuckling co-op PvE Expeditions, continue your Renegade’s storyline, raise your Reputations across three faction tracks, craft your Loadout with Synthesis, and pit your wits against the Corrupted Heartlands map in the mega update for Issue #3: Worlds Beyond, out November 14.
ISSUE #3: WORLDS BEYOND
With the Heart of the Island unleashed, X-Isle has shattered into three Realities. It’s up to you Renegades to team up, venture across them all, and bring them back to the true timeline in the long-awaited PvE Expeditions Mode with three unique Realities: Disciple’s Kingdom, VEKTR’s Invasion, and Corrupted Heartlands.
Team up in the long-awaited [PvE Expeditions Mode], a swashbuckling co-op adventure for Squads of up to three players (with no PvP rivalry)!

• In Expedition Mode, teams are friendly towards each other.
• Treasuries now grant access to Vaults.
• Extraction is only possible through the Vault.
• The gym memberships have paid off, and all mob armies have undergone significant changes, becoming much stronger and more dangerous.
• Disciple and VEKTR armies have expanded with new mob varieties.
• Enemy logic placement has been reworked to include patrols, and some mob squads now respawn.
• Enemies now appear in all Encounters.
• Enemy reactions to melee attacks have been revamped.

The all-new unique PvE Expeditions map! A manifestation of GRAIL’s own misplaced ambitions, the Corrupted Heartland is a dark and twisted Reality of greed left unchecked. The force unleashed by the Heart of the Island plagues X-Isle, corrupting everything its tendrils latch on to – weapons, Artifacts, even living beings.
Seeking to confront the consequences of GRAIL’s actions, Bjorn has set out to find a remedy for the corruption and soothe the powers of the Heart. A challenge even for the most experienced Renegades, The Corrupted Heartlands Reality features enemies never before confronted.
No longer the only game mode, the Squad and Solo Treasure Hunt Modes have been adapted to a format similar to PvE Expeditions, featuring Vaults.

• Players from other teams are hostile.
• Players must collect 3 Glyphs instead of 4 to unlock the Treasury and access the Vault
• Players cannot respawn automatically—only through allies at Revive Points.
• Increased PvE difficulty.
• Increased loot value.
• Extraction is only possible through the Vault.

Cursed Chests: a valuable find containing valuable loot – but also guarded by some serious dangers!
Treasuries no longer contain an Artifact, but a portal to a Vault. These dangerous dungeons are full of traps and enemies, and only the most skilled treasure hunters and adventurers can brave their corridors and rooms to seize the Artifacts from their final chambers.
What happens in the Treasury, stays in the Treasury. Once entered, players can only leave through the Extraction Point at its end.
Rise up in the hearts and minds of GRAIL’s Finest by fostering friendships with your favorite characters. Follow the Story and complete Story Quests and Mastery Quests in three Reputation Tracks — Nellie, Bjorn, and Tabytha — across the Expedition Realities they’re tied to.

• Story Quests: Advance the storyline and delve into the character’s activities and motivations, revealing more of HAWKED’s overall storyline. They can only be completed once and grant a lot of Reputation.
• Mastery Quests: These are mostly focused on quantitative gathering or mastery of something, with a narrative less impactful to the main story. They are repeatable but grant less Reputation than Story Quests.

Players gain a variety of rewards for increasing their Reputation levels with access to purchasing new Gear, Weapons, Mods, Reserves Slots, and Expendables from the GRAIL armory. Players at the maximum level of a Reputation Track can tackle Challenges, rewarding access to especially powerful weapons upon completion. 
Players are granted free access to Tabytha’s Reputation Track. Bjorn's and Nellie's Reputation Tracks are unlocked with the Realities Expansion Pass or Master of Realities Expansion Pass.
NOTE: Your Character Reputation levels will be persistent from Issue to Issue. GRAIL Loyalty will be removed in Issue #3: Worlds Beyond, and all previous progress will be transferred to Reputation.
Find a purpose for each and every piece of loot you extract from X-Isle — including your hoard of duplicate Artifacts and Trinkets — through Synthesis! Experiment with their qualities, upgrade their abilities, and unleash the ultimate power of Affixes through three kinds of Charged Artifacts: Legendary, Masterwork, and Corrupted.
Masterwork and Corrupted Artifacts are unlocked with the Realities Expansion Pass or Master of Realities Expansion Pass.
GE-0 has opened a Black Market where players can spend their hard-earned Hawks on a selection of Trinkets and Artifacts. The selection refreshes daily, though he won’t tell how he procures them.
Master the craft of Synthesis and charge your Artifacts with dangerous Affixes of Legendary, Masterwork, and Corrupted qualities.

• Legendary Quality Affix: Grants an additional quality.
• Masterwork Quality Affix: Grants an improvement to an Artifact’s existing attributes.
• Corrupted Quality Affix: Kiss/Curse mechanic that grants an improvement alongside a Corruption that significantly alters the Artifact's use in gameplay.

Each Artifact has its own unique Affix for all three qualities, so get crafting and see what powers they hold once pushed to the limit. Affix charges are consumed each time a player enters a match, reverting to the Artifact’s Epic quality once full depleted. Artifacts can be charged up with Affixes again through Synthesis.
A new quality for weapons wrapped by eldritch tendrils and warped by unique Affixes, sure to be useful to whoever dares wield them!

• Increased attack efficiency.
• Each carried Corrupted weapon increases incoming damage.
• Only found in-match, dropped by Hexed Renegades (enemy type).

LOOT CHANGES
It is now possible to extract Weapons, Mods, and Armaments to be used in a later match, or kept in storage. It is also possible to purchase these items before the match using in-game currency. New items become available and storage capacity increases based on Reputation levels or completion of Quests. NOTE: Some items can only be found in a match or purchased from the Shop.

• Weapon chests now come in three qualities: Uncommon, Rare, and Epic.
• Loadout now has additional slots for armament weapons and Mods.

Welcome to our first dev diary for Zombie Assault: Resurgence! Since we announced the game, it has been amazing for the team to see the excitement build around the community and we can’t wait to show you more of what we’ve been working on over the coming months.

As tempting as it is for us to share everything with you now (seriously, we’ve so much we’re excited to show you all), this dev diary is going to focus on explaining the first few game modes that ZA:R will be have to offer, as well as announcing our First Look playtest, happening THIS MONTH! But first, here’s a little snippet of our first-look map, The Mining Facility, to whet your whistle!



Prepare to drop in hot in this broiling underground facility and the main base of operations for the mineral miners.

The First Look playtest will include three awesome game modes. These will be objective-based missions and are as follows (Note: these are not the only modes ZA:R will have - just the first few we’re sharing with you!):

Eradication

Eradication is a wave-based mode where you must clear out the entire horde of zombies in order to complete the operation. (In-game desc: The Mining Facility is overrun with zombies. Clear the area so the miners can return to work!)

Eradication Surge

Eradication Surge is a time-based mode with an endless swarm of blood-thirsty zombies. The objective is to survive and take out as many zombies as possible before the timer runs out. (In-game desc: The zombie population in the Mining Facility is growing exponentially. We’re dropping you in hot! Take out as many Zombies as you can before we return!)

Cache Recovery

Cache Recovery is another time-based mode where packages will spawn around the map and the objective is to recover as many as possible whilst fending off the zombies. (In-game desc: A Cargo Ship of HVM equipment is dropping packages at the wrong coordinates. We only have a limited time, so gather as many as you can!)

Mercenary Classes

In ZA:R, you’ll have three playable classes to choose from; Assault, Medic and Heavy, each with their own unique abilities specific to their class. There will be much more customisation options when it comes to building your character, but more on that in future dev diaries!

So, on to the playtest details! From November 25th (GMT) - November 27th (GMT), we’re going to be running our very first playtest for Zombie Assault: Resurgence on Steam. As we touched on before, this first-look build will be focused on a small segment of what the full version will eventually become, including the one level and three game modes mentioned above, as well as three weapons (a Pistol, an Automatic Rifle, and a Shotgun). The purpose of this test will be to get initial feedback from you all on the look/feel of the game, controls and the overall funness!

To participate in the playtest, please fill out the application form below before midday on Monday, November 18th (GMT). Steam keys will be sent to all participants shortly before the test begins!

The team is so excited for you to get your hands on ZA in this first look and we can't wait to share more awesome updates in our future dev diaries!

Also, don't forget to join the Zombie Assault: Resurgence official subreddit here - https://www.reddit.com/r/zombieassaultofficial/

There is a new secret hidden game mechanic that allows you to make all Nasty Zombies be enraged.

There is a new achievement, Terrible Temper, for reaching wave 100 with this new mechanic active, so long as it has been activated before wave 10.

• Necrovore is now less bright.

There will be less and smaller updates for a while as I have turned all of my attention to working on the 2nd map.

- Skin protection scales with AI difficulty. Making slightly easier to kill enemies in lower difficulties.
- Hephaestus now can drop alpha DNA samples.
- Hephasteus drop increased for beta DNA samples.
- All players need to be close to the door to open Hephasteus temple
- Added more trees in different spots.
- New SFX/FX for tree seeds.
- Seeds increase rate of higher quality DNA
- Reduced price for Beluga, Quake deflesher and Septum.
- Fixed some bad collisions spots.
- Titan is now notified for a bigger time.
- Titan now lands in the correct spot where the player is.

Greetings!

It is I, the Devil, and I like fingers I wish to thank all our Bonesaw players for this amazing first week since our Early Access launch.

My minions (the developers) are hard at work, gathering feedback and working on additional content. Here’s a small breakdown of what was fixed / changed in the new update:

[Changed]

• I noticed that the effect of the card Double-Edged Fate was too powerful, and many players found winning a free point to be unfair. I have ordered my minions to adjust both the effect and name of this card. From now on, the Punishment card will only remove 1 point from your opponent.
  
• My dev-servants have also made a minor update to the Rob a Chip ability. Players can now play this chip to discard one of their opponent's chips without using it. After selecting which chip to steal, they can click on it once more to discard it.

[Fixed]

• A problem was resolved that allowed the Devil (me) to ignore the Target Aim chip played on a hand when using the Split Hand Attack chip. (Was it a bug, or was I cheating?)
  
• My developer minions also fixed an issue where a hand would remain active at the start of the following rounds after losing 4 fingers. A hand with 4 missing fingers is a dead hand!

The Devil

Version 0.15.3 Patch Notes

Hello testers!

Coming hot on the trail of our previous release, we have now made the second forest map Pollution Peak playable! The Viking brothers have also received some small gameplay changes!

Join us on our Discord for discussions and feedback.

Thank you for supporting our indie dream ❤

Have fun,

Kikimora Crew

While 1000 Deaths unfolds in three distinct episodes, its storylines aren't presented chronologically. Players experience the lives of our protagonists, Maxie, Boga, Terry, and Vayu, from different perspectives and across different ages. Each episode explores a core theme and focuses on specific character pairings.

Firestorm: Friendship, Politics
Firestorm, the first episode developed, introduces Vayu and Maxie. Vayu, loyal to Maxie, struggles between supporting their friend's ambition for big-city fame and helping their hometown in need. This episode lays the foundation for the overarching narrative and introduces the platforming hubs known as Headspaces. Platforming mechanics fluctuate between puzzle-style levels involving entering doors at the correct gravity orientations and action-packed levels with Maxie-themed lava balls as your main enemy.




Offshoot: Labor, Ethics
Offshoot explores the bond between Terry and Boga as they navigate the complexities of growing up and pursuing careers. Terry views Boga as a follower and must confront their worldview while Boga struggles with different career paths. This episode features intricate platforming puzzles centered around toggle switches, reflecting Boga’s inability to make decisions.




Moonshine: Love, Trauma
Moonshine explores the complexities of love and the scars of trauma. It follows Maxie and Boga as they chase music stardom, a pursuit that threatens to tear their relationship apart. This emotionally charged episode delves into the consequences of repression and the impact of past experiences. The platforming uses gravity-switching triggers to evoke the rollercoaster-like feeling of heated romance.
