  Beatdown City Survivors Announced/Playable!

  Hey Treachery in Beatdown City heads, I wanted to let y'all know that we're working on a semi-sequel to the game due out later this year, named Beatdown City Survivors, and there's a demo on Steam RIGHT NOW!It's a direct story sequel to Treachery in Beatdown City, but the gameplay is very different, yet still satisfying. The "survive-em-up" genre (or Bullet Heaven, survivors-likes, etc.) has a lot going on game release wise, so we wanted to add our own twist, using infrastructural decay, elemental effects, destructible environments, and of course, city buildings to the mix, and play with what those systems would look like. Also, what if pigeons wore construction boots, cuz why not?This led to the design of Beatdown City Survivors, as an immersive sandbox survive-em-up, where you can cause chaos and destruction in a transformed city, overrun with zombies, skeletons, giant cockroaches, and more!And the concept of combining a pigeon with a boot was too good to pass up, so we've got an in depth weapon combining system that results in dozens (probably over a hundred) different weapon types.Add that to a slew of new playable characters, a survivors system, mission objectives and a persistent base, and you've got a survivors like that knocks the genre on it's head!Please, check it out, and hit us up on Discord or the Steam Forums with any feedback!Thanks,Shawn

  Nominate Treachery in Beatdown City for Labor of Love - Steam Awards 2023!

  Hey y'all, Shawn here. As you probably know, we launched Treachery in Beatdown City straight into the pandemic! This was after 8 years of development post working at Rockstar Games, and it was 2 of us working on it "full time". Over the course of development we had family members die, gained and lost funding, and picked up new jobs just to keep going. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33523521/a5e80dfedb8232c592552a10744c32187631394d.gif Everyone who played Treachery in Beatdown City in 2020 made our struggles worth it, and everyone who is still playing it now is amazing. I hope everyone who has Treachery in Beatdown City has been enjoying the Ultra Remix update! Over the last 3 years we tried to figure out how to best bring y'all the new update, and even though we missed a few launch dates, it was for the best! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33523521/9220f772bc2a6ca8590e009e70f2186096e6d331.gif Much of what we added was quality of life improvements, like rumble, updated in game art, more music, and better labeling, on top of Ultra Remix adding double the content, with over 80 new enemies, a few more weapons, some new costumes, a bunch more music, several new stages, etc. etc. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33523521/7169d82f8486315517493ae1fb194225a69ff40a.png We grew our team a bit to finish off the game, and for many folks this was their first game credit. Everyone who has worked on Treachery in Beatdown City would be honored if you'd nominate us for Labor of Love. Peace, -Shawn Director, NuChallenger

• Patch Notes·16 Nov 2023Official

  Minor Update, but fixes some nagging and potentially BIG bugs.

  Thanks everyone for reporting your issues! We've double and triple checked, so we hope they have been addressed in this patch. Cloud saves are fixed. We believe there was a conflict with when they were initially set up, and the current update that added achievements. Steam achievements require a different setup than previously accounted for, since we're counting how many counters/knife defeats/items you've used/etc. Bouncing between platforms should not be an issue. Quick saves are fixed, and no one should lose their save anymore. This was *usually* caused by a confluence of issues. Still somewhat related to steam achievements. BTW, saves are in Documents/TreacheryinBeatdownCity. You can back it up by copying/renaming it. Runners/Cyclists not dying when going to 0 HP with quick strikes should also be fixed. There was an issue that was VERY specific to Brad where defeating a runner with quick strikes wouldn't put them in their full "death" animation. We checked it before, and hadn't seen it in a long, long time, but then it came back. So this seemed to slip through the cracks. Sorry for any issues this caused, and if you have any issues with your saves, or what have you, please hit us up in the Discord! The Steam forums are of course ok, as well, but the Discord is just easier. https://discord.gg/tibc
