Jupiter Hell 0.8.5 - Hounds of Hell - RELEASED!

(1/1)

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Here we are again, a bit late due to conferences and cats, but Hounds of Hell are live!

Kerberos

As the name implies one of the major additions is kerberos - a huge hound-like late game enemy. Don't be deceived - it comes in many variants, and only the basic one is a melee enemy! Apart from elemental versions it also comes with an enrage ability - if you kill it, kill it fast!

Beyond

The second part of this versions name implies a tileset remaster of the Beyond levels - aside from the regular lava/rocks we rock a new basalt-themed visual tileset, especially for beyond. To celebrate, we gave the Summoner boss-fight a significant revamp :).

Perks

While not in the name itself, the third change might be the most significant - and definitely the most fun! We significantly expanded on the weapon perks feature from the previous update, added several new perks and added perks for armor too - among them of special interest are the class perks - which give boosts to your class skills, or an extra charge to your once-per-level ability! Due to the bigger pool every ADV weapon now comes with at least one perk! Moreover, energy weapons (pistols, rifles and shotguns) have their ADV versions added. To not let exotic weapons fall too much behind, we've added a perk to most of them too!

Item drops

Speaking of ADV weapons, we modified the item drop system - item level is now independent of difficulty (and less dependent on where it drops) - however a seperate mechanic controls the drop "tier". Special boxes (magenta) are now tiered - regular ones are Tier 1, vault and exalted drops are now Tier 2, and special levels can have one or more Tier 3 drops. These control mostly the quality of ADV weapons - Tier 3 weapons and armor will have 2 perks guaranteed!

Dodge and traits

Regarding armor it now has a negative dodge modifier - the heavier the armor, the bigger the penalty. Do not worry too much though, as base dodge was increased to compensate, and armor has been made significantly more durable (a common request).

To top off, two new traits are added Dodgemaster for Scout and Incoming! for Marine and Technician, to help with survivability.

Finally

Finally (among a plethora of bugfixes) we added a new challenge - Angel of Doom - let us know what you think about it :).

Full changelog below, we really can't wait for your feedback on this release, be it here, on the Steam forums or on Discord :D

Happy hunting!

khiijol:
new update wiped my player data clean and everything is locked. is there any way i can recover it?

khiijol:
figured i'd just rebuild the badges, why not? first run, not bad here, would have had 100% if i wasn't running too fast and accidentally went into the black site elevator. kerberos are really cool and i was lucky to survive a fast group of exalteds
