  Community Update August 2024

  Hello Hellhounders! August is extremely hot and humid in Japan, but we are doing our best to stay cool with some new updates! August is also "obon vacation" here, where many of us go back to our hometowns to visit family and pay respects to the departed. How do you guys spend your summer months? Penny Blood: Hellbound - Early Access Update #2 We are approaching the full release of Penny Blood: Hellbound, but there is one more mid-release still to go! The Early Access Update #2 build will land on August 8th and include the following additions: ・Area 4 and a new boss ・Online Multiplayer Mode ・New set of weapons for every character ・Four new NPCs ・Blood-surfing attacks for ranged characters ・New quests ・New enemies added and previous enemies adjusted ・More functionality for support dungeon NPCs ・Various bug-fixes We'll be adding the change list to the Penny Blood Discord later. Penny Blood: Hellbound’s schedule has slipped a bit as we try to take on everyone’s feedback, so we are now aiming for the full release sometime in early Fall. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44772353/8eb6a08111b0c5fb1117ee9bd43934e464ffc86f.png We apologize for the delay, and thank you all for your continued support in helping to share the world of Penny Blood! Message from Hirota-san Hello, everyone. The development goal point for Penny Blood: Hellbound is visible now. In most game dev cycles, sound development always comes in at the very end. The scenario, graphics, movies, programmings…once all that is done, the sound work begins. I always feel a lot of pressure when I get to this point and have to start making music for important spots such as the last boss battle and ending even though we don’t have much time left. Some projects create a list of necessary sounds before we reach this last stage.

  Steam Endless Replayability Fest... featuring Penny Blood: Hellbound!

  Hey Hellhounders, As we mentioned in our last update, we have released a demo for Penny Blood: Hellbound that includes a a taste of the single player campaign and the all-new online multiplayer mode! You can still check it out right now in Steam's Endless Replayability Fest. Be sure to leave comments to help Hellbound continue to level up in quality! Speaking of which, we are fixing a lot of bugs in preparation for the Early Access 2 build to give you a more stable experience. Here is a selection of some of the biggest adjustments that will be coming: Ranged characters can now also perform bloodsurfing attacks (Dr. Eugene, Saltykova) Your buddy (the AI-controlled character) will now use Weapon Skills. The Druid's AoE (where trees sprout out of the ground) has been adjusted so that the camera will zoom out and let you see the entire screen during the attack. The mouse cursor will now be invisible when playing with a gamepad. ! marks now appear when all enemies attack. Fixed a bug where the New mark (orange mark) would keep appearing even after accepting rewards in Purgatory. Scapegoat will now create a scapegoat that looks like a humanoid doll instead of always looking like Clara. Fixed the gameplay so that Ecstasy Skills now hit certain enemies even while they're in the middle of an invincibility frame action.
