This sneak peek offers a glimpse into the gameplay from our demo, highlighting the immersive narrative and puzzles we've been hard at work on. We hope you enjoy exploring the eerie environments and thought-provoking themes that YOUR HOUSE has to offer.

Greetings, NIMRODS!

In today’s hotfix, we're mostly turning our attention to the Dung Beetles... which were about as fun to play against as their name implies. We wanted for the harder, spikier Dung Beetles in the Ancient and Elder Hive Barrens to have a set of mechanics that were unique to them, but our intention was to make the Dung Beetles hard... not unfair.

So we overhauled the advanced dung beetles! In addition to the removal of the reversed controls mechanic, we've also gotten rid of the homing mechanic. Now instead of having the projectiles home in on you, the advanced Dung Beetles fire two smaller projectiles instead of one larger one. In addition, the number of Dung Beetles total has been reduced, and when they do spawn, they spawn in clumps and lines instead of trickling in. This means that when they throw their projectiles, they tend to come as a barrage instead of having the beetles just constantly pelting you with refuse. The end result is that facing off against Dung Beetles should be a test of your skill, not a test of how much armor you'd managed to stack.

Now you don't need to take crap from anybody.

Gear up, toss your drone your favorite gun, and head to the hive barrens (or the ancient and elder versions) and let us know how the reworked beetles feel! We'll be listening!

The Dung Beetles have overhauled to be more fair, detailed list of changes:

• All Dung Beetles will move towards you to at least the edge of your vision before firing.
  
• All Dung Beetles will attempt to move onto the screen, even if you have a short vision range, instead of hanging out just outside of default vision range.
  
• All Dung Beetle projectile acceleration: 1.5 m/s² → 0 m/s²
  
• All Dung Beetle initial projectile speed: 0.65 m/s → 1.8/2/2.2/2.4/2.6 m/s depending on tier
  
• Normal Dung Beetle's inaccuracy: 7 → 0 (makes their shots more predictable and easy to dodge)
  
• Normal Dung Beetle's projectile size: 0.13 → 0.155
  
• Normal Dung Beetle's projectile growth over lifetime: 0.156 → 0.121
  
• Homing removed from advanced dung beetle's projectiles.
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle's projectile growth over lifetime: 0.156 → 0.105
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle's projectile damage: 10/12/14/16/18 → 8/10/12/14/16
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle's projectile count: 1 → 2
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle's inaccuracy: 7 → 20
  
• Random spawn tables have been tweaked to such that Dung beetles do not spawn naturally, but instead only spawn in groups at specific timestamps. End result is that Dung Beetle prevalence is way down.

• Many small localization & tooltip improvements.
  
• Genetics Lab prerequisite moved up to Bertha miniboss, allowing for earlier access to meta progression systems.
  
• Square Reticle FX have been improved.

• Gene Upgrade Station requires the Genome Station be purchased first.
  
• Numerous death source attributions have been fixed.
  
• Fixed an error where Blood and Thunder was giving one quarter the amount of Health Regeneration it was intended to give.

Balance mistake: All Hive Barren specific enemies had the same HP and XP as their normal counterparts, leading to these fixes:

• Advanced Bee HP: 20/35/95/397/2183 → 40/65/138/576/3143
  
• Advanced Bee XP: 2/8/76/909/14193 → 4/15/111/1319/20427
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle HP: 181/533/1797/8192/49154 → 249/745/2558/11957/68992
  
• Advanced Dung Beetle XP: 86/724/6931/89722/817309→ 119/1012/9869/130964/1147163
  
• Advanced Bombardier Bee HP: 192/554/1892/7945/43669 → 270/772/2760/11523/62850
  
• Advanced Bombardier Bee XP: 75/611/5924/70633/726107→ 105/851/8641/102437/1045038
  
• In Elder and Ancient Hive Barrens, the proportions of bees to slimes was reduced to compensate for the tankier bees.

For the Adventure X Festival 2024, we’ve put together a demo so you can get a taste of our new game, YOUR HOUSE. On November 4th at 7:00 p.m. GMT+1, the amazing Jupiter Hadley will be streaming the first chapter live!

A huge thanks to Jupiter for making this stream happen—she nearly didn’t make it due to a last-minute trip to the dentist! 😅

We hope you enjoy this sneak peek, and please don’t forget to share your thoughts with us.
You are also invited to wishslit YOUR HOUSE of course.

Spoiler alert: Jupiter will be playing through the entire demo, so her stream will include puzzle solutions. If you want hints instead of answers, remember the demo has a hint section for you to explore.
