Howdy folks! I hope you are all fine. 24th BLOODSAINT will launch (version 0.01, Early Access); the actual version is pretty tested, it is running super fine, and the game balance is as sweet as it can be. Since the golden state of this first version, I have been testing flamethrowers, ogresized enemies, mages, and more stuff not hardboiled enough to enter the main game yet.

The list of community requests is dense and spiky, and it is a really nice exercise to manage what still needs more testing before it manifests in to playable content. I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you!

Studio is moving to a wider place due to the new framwork, more machines running at the same time and I can keep the flow recording tracks, testing gameplay and experimenting with visual art. The studio switch may consume a few more days and how this changes allow me to keep the production momentum surelly pays out the circus.

There are lots of data that would be nice to share, but it is even nicer to keep it evolving stealthly, to not spoil out the gameplay experiences that I am cooking for you!

Howdy folks, I have been experimenting with arcade topdown fast-paced minigame designs for over a decade, collecting your feedback and crafting stuff that may fit our nice simbiosis. I usually spend a lot of time crafting the music and sound effects, and the soundtrack of BLOODSAINT is pretty special.
It happens in the same universe of UBERMOSH, with one of the characters of BULLETHELL ascending to the status of Saint, growing the powers during the ritual... so, from the powers to guitar tone, I put in an extra effort to call back elements from this wide journey, tweaked to the brute vibe of BLOODSAINT, that happens 10.000 years after the events of the classic series.

It will start in Early Access and is a love letter for you. There are lots of community requests that I was able to squeeze in, and I hope to fit a bit more before moving to the 1.0 version.
Many many thanks! It has been an awesome journey with the marvelous company of this community.

I am still working on it; the plan is to launch it in May.
There is an expected delay before Steam approves the title for launch (1-2 weeks to approve Store and Build, 2 weeks+ of "comming soon").

The leveling system is "kinda new," heavily inspired by classic elements with some twists to make it cleaner and quicker.

Every month, I do my best to release new stuff, from new projects to game updates, and it is always awesome to give you these handcrafted gameplay experiences. Many thanks!

Steam Early Access is pretty magical. I have some buddies trying it here in Brazil, and the nicest folks are playing the same game thousands of kilometers away, with similar feedback guiding this update.

We have a new enemy class that moves with lightning speed and cirurgical precision, like a zoomed spider, a vampire in movies, a chess queen with long movements, or a mutted banshee with a flak cannon. To deal with it, you have your melee "sword breaker" with limited stamina, a full-auto Flak cannon, and the human factor, which finds gaps to solve stuff in your own way.

It moved from 2 to 5+1 enemy classes (from QQF1 to QQF2) to test your reflexes and combat awareness.

The texture maps and surfaces were polished to add performance, and the protagonist death animations were tweaked to look nicer.

The level generation was tuned following player feedback.

It is a nice time to SSS it!

Many thanks!

It took two years to make melee work nicely in QUICKERFLAK. The sequel gets the hunter mass from the RUTHLESSMOD, new enemy classes, and now you can rank up to SSS if you connect with the flow of FLAK+Melee.

If you are into game development, the melee weapon was inspired by the "Chinese Sword Breaker/Long Kabutowari," which is shaped like a sword but is a strong blunt weapon that attacks with a stamina-based "turbo trigger" (based on old aftermarket "turbo gamepads" that have a turbo trigger that clicks super fast), allowing you to counter flak ammo for a brief time.
I will be back soon with more content!
Many, many thanks!

All Early Access update goals are done under the expected time, and BULLETHELL 1.0 is out!
If you are a game development enthusiast who checked the early versions before the fat bullets (and just one hero, fewer enemies, different pace, etc.), it is a nice time to enter the pit again!
Player feedback is magical, and some ideas that do not fit the core concept of THIS game have spawned other projects that may come soon. One that I like to highlight is the "room beater" QUICKERFLACK with the addition of melee inspired in BULLETHELL. There is a roguelike under development, and I am double-checking a few early concepts that were not possible with the UBERMOSH framework and may fit the latest BULLETHELL code structure.

Many, many thanks! Your feedback helped a lot, and I hope to deliver a teaser of some of the new stuff later this month!

Pump your reflexes and have fun!

BULLETHELL development is flowing pretty nicely, and today you will be able to play with two new heroes: a KENSAI character bringing the bullet-cutting gameplay to the table and a "bulletwall gunner" that favors the "roomsweaping before movement" gameplay.

There is also a new enemy class that tries to predict where you will be and fire in that direction.

I hope you like the new content, and many thanks for the trust and feedback during this Early Access journey.

Steam Early Access is pretty magical. Players do not know what they will get. Developers do not know how the finished version will be... and this coop can create astonishing results.
As a few of you may know (due to Steam notification issues), I am developing BULLETHELL to be a sub-30 second arcade minigame challenge with no fillers to get that heart pump feel as soon as possible. It is pretty experimental; it is not an UBERMOSH (but it shares the same universe). It is not a room beater like QUICKERFLAK, but a "kinda new" thing, handcrafted by me for you.
Yesterday I sent the HEAVY GEAR update, and I am working on the next one.
Many thanks for the support, reviews, and community hub interaction! Your feedback is priceless! It helps to shape an experimental design, and it is very heartwarming!

Many many thanks for the feedback during this journey!
Half artist, half tech guy, ...fueled by your awesome feedback via Reviews and Steam Community Hub, I am in a constant quest to develop your requested gameplay experiences. 95% of the time I have to develop and test each step, producing different products that merge and blend, creating more complex stuff. UBERMOSH gave us a solid gameplay, but the framework needed to be rebuild from scratch to allow something past OMEGA.
I started working on a smarter AI that could predict movements and a different way to deal with the topdown animations and particles... that study spawned QUICKERFLAK. Ruthlessmod improved the SWARM AI from Swarmriders, leading to a "smart slime" that may appear in a sequel of a drifter game that nobody is asking for. The quest for an ENDLESS UBERMOSH, that works with the heavy zoom of the first game, the particles and smart AI from QKF and the pumping drums of the TTV series are summoning BULLETHELL, my "hardest to balance" title so far, that will stay a few months on Steam Early Access and, it will be the nicest to have you aboard during the development!
