  HYPERUPDATE: Version 1.1.0.6 is Live!

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32758863/78d06951955fbbd943814c1c118367891becdc45.jpg Happy tuesday! We've got a very special treat for you - a HUGE update. This is going to be a long post, so strap in! In the weeks since release, we've been keeping close tabs on the discussions, reviews, and streamers playing HYPERGUN get a read on the community's thoughts. There's been more than a few gripes in terms of balancing, for example - the weapon buffs weren't feeling substantial enough, the difficulty curve wasn't tuned quite right, and some aspects of progression were a bit grindy. Even though HYPERGUN isn't in Early Access, we wanted to do our best to address these concerns and get the game in as good of a place as possible! We put our heads together and came up with a few significant changes (and a whole ton of little ones!) that we felt would improve the game in a pretty big way. One Attachment Per Slot This is a big one. In the launch version of HYPERGUN, you were able to pick up an infinite amount of attachments. This was cool in some ways; you definitely got some crazy combinations by the end of the game! However, there were some pretty big drawbacks that became clear after watching tons of people playing the game - the attachments didn't really have that big of an impact individually, and the weapons ended up evening themselves out over time as positive and negative stats counterbalanced each other. After an hour of play, the gun usually felt like a mid-power machine gun, perhaps with some elemental damage, rather than being unique and distinctive. After much deliberation and testing, we settled on limiting attachments to one per slot (so you can carry a maximum of 8 at a time). In doing so, we were able to drastically buff the values (especially on Golds and Platinums!) making each attachment you pick up much more significant. There's now also an aspect of decision making and control over your build; since you can choose which ...

  PATCH: 1.0.1.8 is LIVE! Misc Bug Fixes and Balance Tweaks

  Hey everyone! Thanks for attempting to build the perfect HYPERGUN. To make your simulations a little bit easier, we've got quick little patch for you today to address a few issues that we've dicovered. This includes the rare enemy standing still, some ragdolls that were a bit too eccentric and some corrections in our energy cost math. Check out the full changelog below! BALANCE Lowered Bulwark Health from 7000 to 6000. Security energy cost per shot lowered. FIXES Sometimes the health bar for The Twins fight would read 4000/8000 at the beginning of the fight. Stalactites in the Bulwark fight would not reset their chunk positions when despawned from the pool. Could lead to spamming errors in extreme cases. Sniper ragdolls would explode. The bones in some characters could sometimes end up in odd positions. Some challenge room map icons were not showing. Fixed a logic error with the discovered attachments Steam achievement. A character would rarely stand completely still and not move or attack. Burst fire shots were not correctly calculating energy consumption and would cost too much.

  Silly synthwave FPS roguelike Hypergun is out now

  There’s a certain childish joy in bolting questionably useful attachments onto FPS weaponry that Hypergun understands. Released today and developed by new studio NVYVE, it’s a roguelike FPS set in a synthwave cyber-world that arguably owes more to The Binding Of Isaac than Tower of Guns. Faced with swarms of glowing neon cyber-baddies and starting with a bland assault rifle (with unlimited ammo), players pick up new and silly parts for it, changing its appearance, stats, projectiles and adding a growing number of cooldown-based alternate fire modes. It’s out now. (more…)

  Hypergun is a neon roguelite FPS with weird weapons and petty office politics

  Hypergun is a high-speed roguelite FPS about a man named Dewey Owens, an intern at DevTech Labs who has become instrumental in the development of humanity's ultimate-weapon defense against alien invaders. Not because he's a particularly talented warrior or weaponsmith, but because he broke into the office over the weekend (apparently fending off extraterrestrial hordes is strictly a 9-to-5 gig) and ended up in the testing sim.  The Hypergun—the weapon, not the game—can be modified with more than 150 modules that will change its operation "in exciting and sometimes questionable ways," and ensure that every run through the combat simulator is different. The levels themselves are randomized and packed with simulated aliens (remember, this is all just a testing chamber) and big bad bosses. The simulation profiles of your coworkers can be unlocked to enable unique class abilities, and apparently you'll also have the opportunity to dive into some office politics while you're futzing around off the clock: "Even at the end of the world, there's time to track down passive aggressive post-it notes from coworkers."  I dig silly backstories as much as anyone, but the real attraction here is obviously the over-the-top action, bathed in neon and backed by a sweet disco beat. It won't be the next Dishonored or Spec Ops: The Line, but sometimes, when you just want to wreck some stuff, simplicity is the way to go. Hypergun is set for release on August 23, and will go for $15 on Steam.
