- HYPERFIGHT 2 - Arriving 2024! - 26 December 2023
Watch the teaser trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WX04qMzuGw First off, I want to thank everyone that's shown so much love for the game - your support has helped me push through the development of my toughest project yet. I've read all the player survey responses (yes, even recent ones) and while not every suggestion will make it in, I'm taking everything into careful consideration. Yes - there will be rollback netcode! Unfortunately this does mean the original game will remain as it is, at least for now. HF2 originally started as a complete rebuild of the original HF, but it seemed like a waste to build the engine from scratch without putting it to use in a new game. Development also changed engines in the middle from Unity to Godot 4, so the process was definitely rocky 😅 but it's at a pretty good place now where the rest of development should be relatively stable. This is a…
- Rollback netcode officially in the works! - 20 December 2021
Hey all, It's been almost one year since the last HYPERFIGHT update, and I'm back with some good news: rollback netcode is officially in the works! The game is being fully rewritten in Unity to serve as a better foundation for rollback, while also letting me more easily utilize third-party libraries and potentially port to consoles in the future. This does mean that it will be a while before the first playable beta, so please be patient. Will there be new content? ...Potentially. Everything from v3.1 is going to be ported over exactly as it is at first, and from there I'll be deciding what needs to be changed or what should be added. I guess you can't trust me anymore when I say "last update", lol. If you're interested in more frequent posts you can follow me on Twitter. -joh

- Unknown Pleasures: Adventurer Time - 9 April 2019
Happy New Freelance Year! The receipt-flakes are falling, the accountants are singing their carols, and in every house the children are leaving out tripwires and caltrops to delay the inevitable march of the merciless Father Taxmas. Did you have a good time at Rezzed ? I didn’t go – humans, right? – but that’s fine because we clever ones, we get all the good footage without even leaving our tunnels. And because I showed up for the mixer anyway. They can’t stop me. Unknown Pleasures has spies everywhere. It’s an even wider selection of obscurities for you today, as Unknown Pleasures brings you the best unsung indie games on Steam once more.
