- Good news out of Hell Pie: Nate and Nugget learned Turkish! - 10 January 2024
Greetings, platformers! First things first: We hope you had a relaxing holiday season and a good start into the new year! Nate and Nugget used their free time to improve their foreign language skills. And so, in addition to English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian and Simplified Chinese, they are now also fluent in Turkish! This means that you can now play Hell Pie with Turkish localization. Many thanks to the MythÇeviri Team for providing us with the translations! 🥳 In addition, we've also fixed a few bugs in the already existing languages. Have a great time swinging with Nate and Nugget! Sluggerfly out https://store.steampowered.com/app/889910/Hell_Pie/
- Merry F*cking Christmas From The Fat Angels at Sluggerfly! 🎄 - 21 December 2022
Ho ho ho, platformers! We have a question for you: Have you all been good this year? ... It better be "yes", because otherwise we'll send Santa Nate and his little helper Nugget by you homes, just in time for the holiday season! Have you guys seen Violent Night? I don't think I need to say more... Or you download the fresh-from-the-oven update of Hell Pie and get the new Christmas outfits for Nate and Nugget for FREE. Just drop by Asmodei's shop in the Hell Inc. office and you'll soon be the proud owner of the new Christmas outfits. Unbelievable, isn't it? 🎅👼🏻 Guys, the year 2022 was a really exciting one for us in many ways. We (finally) released Hell Pie after five (long) years of development. You all received our little game so positively, and we're super happy about that! When you work on a project for so damn long, you eventually lose sight of how good or bad it is halfway throu…
- All Halloween In Hell Pie: Halloween Discount and Halloween Costumes! 🎃 - 25 October 2022
Trick or treat, platformers! Sound familiar? Yeah, exactly. It's that time of year again, when hordes of poorly disguised kids stumble from front door to front door, ringing doorbells and yelling "trick or treat." And if the proclaimed sweets are not handed out, they embellish the house with raw eggs. So, at best, with eggs.... And you guessed it: Nate and Nugget are of course at the forefront of such annoying and childish shit! HELL YEAH! 🤘 Ah sorry, it's not Nate and Nugget anymore - it's Johnson and Frederick now: Both new costumes are available AS OF NOW in Asmodee's shop at Hell Inc. Uhm... and one piece of well-intentioned advice: If our hellish duo ring your doorbell, you'd better open. You've seen what happens to the cute little Unilambs in Hell Pie, right? ... And in case you missed it: It's spooky Steam Scream Fest time! That's why Frederick made a good use of his bladed glov…

- What a Day for a Daily Deal: Hell Pie swings to your screen 20% off! ❤️ - 3 September 2022
Happy Saturday, friends of filthy platforming! You might have discovered Hell Pie on the Steam front page, right? Correct peeps, we are running a Daily Deal at the moment! Woohoo! This is really a great thing and an even bigger honor for us as a small indie studio. We are really happy about every extra pair of eyes that sees our beloved platformer! ːsteamhappyː Hell Pie sees you grab the horns of Nate, the "Demon of Bad Taste". He is given the honorable task of gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie. To do so, Nate must venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there’ll be hell to pay! We released the new update 1.1.3 to Hell Pie yesterday, which implements two brand-new outfits as well as some changes and improvements that were brought to us by you, our awesome community! And we are not do…
- Play Hell Pie with style: Win a complete set of Razer Chroma equipment! 😍 - 2 September 2022
Dearest platformers, We may only be a small, insignificant indie developer from the Ruhrpott (industrial rural Germany at its best), but we also snuggle with the big ones. Ey, we do (nearly) everything for fame! And that's how we ended up adding Chroma to Hell Pie one fine day. You know, Chroma is this fancy technology that accesses the RGB lighting of your Razer peripherals and thus enhances what's happening on the screen to "real live". We added quite a lot of Chroma effects lately, for example base colors for the different worlds, effects for collectables, the hellish horns, etc. And the best is yet to come: We are giving away a complete set of Razer Chroma equipment: You want to participate in the sweepstakes? Awesome! Just follow this link to our raffle page on Gleam and follow the instructions: https://gleam.io/CAbJ4/win-razer-chroma-equipment-hell-pie Good luck everyone! Sluggerf…
- 🛠️ Hell Pie Update 1.1.3 is live + Soundtrack is available now! 🎶 - 2 September 2022
Happy Friday, pie lovers! Unfortunately, we have been too busy in the last few weeks to continue working on updates for Hell Pie... You know, with things like surviving gamescom in an alcoholic stupor, counting the massive amounts of money we earned with Hell Pie, ... The usual (indie game dev) stuff. But (surprisingly) somehow we made it! And so I proudly present the Hell Pie update version 1.1.3: Added a Squirrel outfit for Nate and a Bee outfit for Nugget Added Superhero outfits for Nate and Nugget Club Luxoria collision fix (it was possible to get stuck behind a toilet) Various dialogue fixes Improved sharpness for various textures Various minor level design fixes Compared to the last update, the changes here are quite manageable, that's true.... But hey, with this update you get two damn cool new outfits: And finally - for all those of you that can't exist without the catchy and ca…
- You might have missed Hell Pie, a gross-out 3D platformer that spits in God's face - 21 August 2022
Sometimes a game asks a fundamental, philosophical question that humans have struggled with since the dawn of time. Like, "What is the best way to get to the top of this towering fountain of liquid feces, and why is it by swinging from a fat cherub on a chain?".. Read more.

- First Hell Pie Update to be released soon + emotional words from Sluggerfly! ❤️ - 27 July 2022
Greetings platformers! We hope you had a lovely week so far. We definitely have! Honestly, we are so F*CKING BLOWN AWAY by the awesome feedback we received (and receive) for Hell Pie! Holy moly! When working on a game like Hell Pie, you constantly get comments like "Grow up!", "I can't see how this is funny!" or "What kind of late-pubescent garbage is this?". And even worse. Not that we're not used to it.... But: We are damn proud of this "late-pubescent garbage" that we've done! In your face, you bores and buzzkills! And that's exactly why it's so good to see that we get such awesome feedback. Hey, we've been working on Hell Pie for 5 long years. Sure, it's nothing compared to Duke Nukem Forever, but it's still a long time. But no one is flawless. And so, even after all the years of hard work and endless optimization, there are still a few bugs hidden in Hell Pie. (And not just the one…
- Platformers, let's get horn-y: Hell Pie is OUT NOW! 😈 - 21 July 2022
Oi lovers of the pie, The time has finally come. Yeah, I know, unbelievable but true: Hell Pie is finally released! Nate and Nugget took five years off our lives, brought us a lot of gray hair and wrinkles as deep as the Mariana Trench. But ey, it was damn well worth it! We're really super happy and proud that you all finally get to swing through Hell Pie yourselves with Nate and Nugget to make sure Satan's birthday pie comes out of the oven on time. Hell Pie is Sluggerfly's third game, but again it was a hell of a ride - I can tell you that. Covid in particular has once again presented a whole new set of challenges for development. But we did it! Yeah! And hope you all will have a lot of fun with Nate and Nugget. And of course we'd love to hear your feedback on Hell Pie! So check out our Discord channel or post your feedback into the Steam community! And thank you so much for the ongoi…

Happy pie day platformers, Some awesome news for all you beloved cake bakers out there (in case you are one of the lucky fellas that own a Steam Deck): Right in time for the release in a few hours, Hell Pie was reviewed and got verified for the Steam Deck, woohoo!

Not long now until you can swing with us. So awesome! Your Sluggerfly Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/889910/Hell_Pie/
- 😈 Facts, figures and more: What the hell is Hell Pie?!? 😈 - 20 July 2022
Hey swingers and platformers! Tomorrow is the official unofficial pie day! Tomorrow afternoon from 5pm CEST/8am PDT Hell Pie will be available after five long, exhausting (and awesome) years, woohoo! Until now, we have been very busy polishing the game even more, but slowly we realize how little time is left until the release. And now, slowly but surely, the nervousness is building up... And that's why we can't get a straight sentence out today anyway. But we would like to take this opportunity to give you all the important facts and figures about Hell Pie and its release tomorrow. So... Hell Pie: 3D platformer, focussed on a swing/grapling hook mechanic Developed by 4-6 peeps here at Sluggerfly in around 5 years 5 large hub worlds 13 additional sub worlds 6 different horns for Nate, offering varying skills 64 outfits overall (30 Nugget, 34 Nate) 4 official banging Electric Callboy outf…
- Nate, Nugget & Ray: Hell Pie swings with Ray Tracing & Nvidia DLSS for Release! - 8 July 2022
Greetings techy platformers! I'm not quite sure if we subconsciously foreshadowed the following five years when we came up with the name Hell Pie for our latest project. Because any developer will agree that the word "hell" is probably the most apt description of the time in which a game is made. Actually, according to the planning, a development should always take two years less, and offer at least 50% more content, which fell into the gutter somewhere in all the mess. Washed away by all the blood, sweat and tears of disillusioned developers. Or in short: developing games is awesome, but you need a thick skin. Hell Pie is our third game, so we knew (more or less) what we were getting into. But what would the developer's life be boring if there weren't new challenges waiting somewhere to be heroically worked on?!? And so one fine day a year ago Tim (the PC tech & gaming enthusiast from…

- 🔥 Nate and Nugget got the Moves: Hell Pie Hooks Up with Electric Callboy! 🔥 - 21 June 2022
Hypa Hypa, platformers! At 6 o'clock on a beautiful sunny Monday winter morning we sat in our bathrobes on the spacious terrace of the Sluggerfly mansion and had a few beers. Could have been a few more - I can't really remember. A typical meeting between developer and publisher. Nothing special. The theme of the meeting was, "How the hell do we market Hell Pie without busting our asses?". Someone came up with the idea "Yo, let's just shamelessly exploit some known artist's notoriety!". And what can I say... Everyone liked the idea. But who would be the best choice to support Hell Pie with his fame? After all, you can't just let Hans and Franz do it! It takes a certain level to keep up with our duo from hell. Not everyone can stand this very special humor. You need really tough peeps for that. With joggers. And bowl cuts. Ey, they need to have the moves! Well, okay. Maybe the whole thing…
- SLUGGERFLY DIRECTLY #04: The announcement, you all have been waiting for! 😈 - 15 June 2022
Hey there pretty platformers, sorry that it took a bit longer to bring you the fourth installment of our fabulous "Sluggerfly Directly"! As you can see in the following video there were some ... uhm ... misunderstandings which we had to make unrecognizable in the video: Dominik has since calmed down somewhat and can now be sedated with only one Valium per hour. But that won't detract from the phenomenal quality of Hell Pie, because - just between us - Dominik never worked anyway... So, no time for more sensless bla bla! We have a game to fini... polish! Till then and take care everyone! Your Sluggerfly Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/889910/Hell_Pie/
- Swingers of the World unite: Hell Pie will release July 21st 2022! 📅 - 13 June 2022
Beloved swingers, The time has finally come! We have been working on Hell Pie for about five years, which is a insane long time... (but not because the game is so big or polished, but because we are untalented and don't want to do any "real" work... Sorry!) ... Let's start over new... The time has finally come! Folks, after about five years of insanely hard work we have a release date for Hell Pie! Yes, we know - unbelievable, but true. And it won't be that long anymore. Not another five years. Not even one more year. But just a little more than a month! *drum rolls* HELL PIE WILL RELEASE JULY 21st 2022!!! And that's it. Dammit... That means that now we have to think about what we're going to do after the Hell Pie release... We said we'd never ever clean deposit bottles again! Please people, help us! Please wishlisted Hell Pie so that the game will be successful and we don't have to act…
