Patch 0.9.7 (23 February 2021)

Took us a bit more time, but this release is HUGE! Jupiter Hell 0.9.7 Expanse features larger moons, mid-point levels, new generators for second halfs of the moons, 4 new branches and 4 new special levels, much improved monster placement and lists, and on top of that a huge rework of traits! But before we go into detail - there’s an important announcement we need to make.

So, there it is - six more months until full release. We’re excited, and we’re shifting gears on the development. Now, back to regular programming! Here's what the Expanse update brings to Jupiter Hell:
Expanded moons

Each of the three moons now sports 7 levels. Each moon has a midpoint level, with dedicated generators at level 4. Each moon has different new generators for its latter half, to provide for a more varied and interesting experience when traveling the main route. Additionally, due to the moons being larger, each moon will connect to three branches.
New branches

A total of four branches have been added - Callisto Rift, Europa Ruins, Shadow Halls and Noxious Mines. Each new branch has a new special level, Noxious Mines use the old Noxious Hollow, while Infernal Lock has been added to Io main route. Especially of note are Europa Ruins and Shadow Halls which feature a brand new tileset, and especially interesting special levels ;)
Expanded traits

As if that were not enough there is a HUGE expansion of traits. Every trait has now 3 levels, and while some higher levels are just additional stats, among the expanded traits some have completely new (or significantly revamped) effects!

Listing every change in this department would make this post longer than anyone would care to read so either read the descriptions in game, or the massive changelog below!

Interesting traits to note are the new Sysop trait, the Headshot trait enhancements (and changing it to a on cooldown effect so you can now take it with Wizard), 3 levels of Toxicologist, the scout Infiltrator trait, the really fun 2 new levels of Remote Hack, the redesigned Swashbuckler trait, the new Cover Master trait... actually, you'd just better fire up the game and read the trait descriptions anew :D

You'll be able to take advantage of the new trait levels, as the expanded moons result in more XP!

As we merged some traits together, and removed a few underused traits, we're left some space to add new exciting traits in the future too!
Monster generation

The game we all know is known for its huge fights, and Jupiter Hell can't be any different! Monsters now more often get generated in larger packs, especially at higher difficulties, leading to more exciting fights and a better challenge once you're already rocking that Master Trait of choice ;). We also balanced late game spawns better - Io and Beyond won't be a cakewalk anymore.

Patch 0.9.6 (13 January 2021)

It's been a bit longer than usual, but we're back to present you a new release of Jupiter Hell - 0.9.6 Terminal! This release features upgraded terminals, enhancements to hacking, stacking elemental damage, 20 new weapon/armor perks, revisited mod pack perk lists and more!
Terminal upgrade

Apart from obvious visual changes, there are also new options, as well as reorganizing old options into modules. You can extract multitools from terminals and stations with charges, but you also can charge terminals with the multitools you have - hence multitools become a universal currency that can be traded for terminal bonuses, health upgrades, mods, ADV equpiment, 'nades or ammo :). You'll also notice that terminals now have more information about their options and the environment. We're also preparing everything for further expansions, expect at least one more top-level module!
Hacking upgrade

Most notably we added the Broadcast option, with information on currently hacked bots, and the ability to mass send commands. Remote Hack will bring up the Broadcast interface if no valid target for hacking is present. Additionally, we improved the behavior of the current commands like HUNT and WAIT. Finally, and probably the most important QOL change gameplay-wise - you won't accidentally hit your bots, nor will they accidentally hit you! Oh, the glory of IFF protocols :P.
Stacking elemental damage

Fire, Bleed and Poison now stack. Be wary as this is a very double-edged sword! This brings elemental perks, items and skills to a whole new damage potential, and gives more value to protection perks, stims and medkits. Let's just say that after the first iteration we had to give the Summoner some poison resistance, as he tended to die from just one gas grenade :P.
New perks and mod pack lists

Each of the 3 basic mod packs (power, bulk and accuracy) now has 5 possible perks - to get to the last (usually strongest) perk, you'll need Whizkid 2. We noticed our perk pool was quite weak with some options - especially shotguns, launchers and helmets, so we added 20 (!) new perks to the pools. 18 of those are accessible via standard mod packs.

The new perks have also been added to the ADV weapon/armor/headslot potential roll lists too!
Grenadier

Finally, as this seems to be a release where Technician finally gets some love, we decided to give him a new Grenadier trait as an icing on the cake :).
Minor changes

The FAST keyword on exalted enemies (especially reavers) has been nerfed. Acid and plasma damage won't damage armor as much as it did. Also, grenades will no longer accidentally hit cover right in front of you (sorry Blind!).

Patch 0.9.5 (2 November 2020)

Time to bring the game to the next level with 0.9.5 "Advance"! Three major pillars of this release are new Traits (and improvements to old ones), fully perk-based ADV equipment, and a new perk-based item modding system - read all about it below!
Character Advancement

Four new traits have been added, each with an important role to fill.

Marine got Army Surplus, which is his way to deal with ammo shortage. Useful on challenge runs, and when Bulletstorm is eating way to many bullets.

Scout gets two new traits - first is Executioner, which buffs both early- (and late-) game melee, and also close-range shotgun or SMG play as well! That trait is borderline overpowered right now, so be sure to play around with it before we nerf it :). The other trait is Stealth Hack - which starts off a possibility of hacking builds for Scout - these will become more powerful with the next release (Terminal).

Tech gets Toxicologist, which we hope will become a base of builds of its own - starting what we hope will be elemental builds for the various classes (more such traits will come later). Changing your defensive Smoke screen skill to a offensive toxic cloud can be quite fun!

Apart from that, there are slight changes in some traits (i.e. Dash and Assassinate got slight nerfs due to Executioner), some overhauls (Tough as Nails now grants raw armor value, like it did in DRL), and improvements (Bloodhound has a short-range heat vision, Powerjack works with stations and ammo terminals), as well as a big buff to Adrenaline - now costs 30 Fury irrespective of difficulty and grants a 5-second buff that protects from pain.
ADVanced Equipment

We removed all non-perk based stat changes for ADV equipment - all stat changes are now based on perks and the perk amount (and quality) depends on the ADV item tier. Those perks are now also displayed in the postmortem for you to brag about if you find a particularly broken piece.

All non-ADV AMPs have been removed, and instead ADV general AMPs have been introduced.

The perk pool has been significantly increased, mostly for general AMPs but also for headgear, armors and weapons.
ADV Perk-based Modding

The old trio of Accuracy, Bulk and Power packs is still present, but instead of increasing stats, they provide a choice of perks you can apply to your equipment. Usually you pick one of two, but Whizkid increases the pool size. The perk pool is deterministic and depends on the item type and group.

ADV weapons have the regular amount of mod slots, so this can get to a ridiculous number of perk counts.

We are aware that this, along with the ADV changes, actually makes the game a bit harder, but also allows for more diversity in items (instead of just counting on a high-damage ADV pumped with P-mods). The trait changes offset this a bit, and further balance changes should bring the difficulty back to what it was.
Medkit and Stimpack Improvements

All medkits and stimpacks clear all negative buffs. Additionally, stimpacks protect the user from negative buffs for the duration of the Stimmed buff.
Other Balance Changes

We buffed all mid-tier melee weapons to make the progress between them more fluid. Knife and Demonic Sword stay the same, chainsaw got a small nerf - all others do more damage.

Angel of Mercy now won't reduce health from exalted kills which should bring it a bit closer to "doable" on Nightmare.
Bugfixes

Most notably, enemies won't accidentally melee each other - which prevents unintended infighting and protects the player from friendly melee attacks. Assassinate now properly works on the secret level, and there won't be any more secure vaults on Asterius (which could block game progress completely). Read the full changelog below for more:

What's next?

Initially, this update was supposed to be "Terminal" with improvements to terminals and hacking, but we got sidetracked with a revamp of the ADV and modding system. Hence, 0.9.6 Terminal is coming next - expect it within 3-4 weeks from now!

P.S. There are some issues with OSX builds, we're working on them right now!

Patch 0.9.4 (28 September 2020)

High time to attempt (no?) landings on Europa! 0.9.4 brings visual improvements to the snow-covered moon, along with revisiting of all it's generators, improvements to lighting and a brand new branch with a new special level! Additionally we added ice fiends and hyperblasters for ultimate splatter - read all about it below!
Asterius Habitat

New Europa branch has been added - similarly to Callisto's branches two out of three will be generated, but for this patch only we made Asterius Habitat guaranteed to appear. As all branches it comes with its own special level, and apart from variations of old Habitat generators it actually has two new generator types that are currently fully unique to the branch.
Ice fiends

Europa specific strain of the fiend has been added, pretty obviously cold-themed. This gives a nice counterpart to everyone's favorite cryoreavers and cryoberi :P
Hyperblaster

The addition of the cell-powered chainfire weapon leaves us with only one basic weapon that still needs to make an appearance (no cookie for guessing which, but it will come ;) ). The hyperblaster correctly works with all chainfire related traits.
Nightmare balance

We're generally pretty happy with how Nightmare turned out, it seems that almost all Diamond badges (apart from two) have already been acquired. However, two slight changes have been added. Respawned exalted will now only give experience on the first respawn (to prevent boring exp farming on level 1). To make the earlier levels more doable and less RNG-dependent, exalted soldiers on levels before Callisto L4 will now have worse equipment. This also applies to early regular game exalted spawns.
Masters and Traits

We buffed two underpowered scout masters - Ghost now reduces Stealth cost to 15 (10 at Level 2) and Assassinate keeps your dodge value after the attack (which makes spamming it much safer). We also are looking to buff Wizard and Fireangel, the former will get stronger with the hack changes coming next patch, the latter will need to wait for Fire related changes in an upcoming status effect related patch.

Marine's Furious now also generates +1/+2 Fury on kills that gib, making it a bit more useful and interesting trait, while Running cost is now 20 Fury independent of difficulty level.

Changelog

Apart from the above we did some more balance and visual changes, full list below:

What's next?

This was a slightly thinner release as we need some time to build up background tech for upcoming releases. Next up in 3-4 weeks we'll have 0.9.5 Terminal which will bring improvements to hacking and terminals in general, stay tuned!
Patch 0.9.3 (07 September 2020)

It's time to face the ultimate challenge in 0.9.3 Nightmare! Apart from the eponymous difficulty level, we have added Platinum and Diamond level badges, level events, gibbing (fun for everyone, life-saving in Nightmare), ADV AMPs and more - read all about it below!
Nightmare!

The borderline unfair and punishing difficulty level from DRL returns! While the balance is close to UV (and there's no accuracy boost for the enemies), each biological enemy that dies leaves a summoning circle. Leave that circle alone and out of sight for a while, and the enemy will respawn... as a progressively-stronger, exalted variant.

This difficulty is not for the faint of heart, but is beatable. Different tactics need to be applied, gibbing enemies becomes a valuable tool, and exploring all of the map might become a death trap. You've been warned!

Platinum and Diamond badges

To make your Nightmare exploits count, we added a fourth and fifth tier of the badge system. While Platinum badges can be achieved on UV difficulty for some challenges, Diamond is all about Nightmare. Platinum badges are all achievable through careful and masterful play; Diamond ones, however... well, let's say that we're interested ourselves in how many of those are actually achievable! ;)
Gibbing

Borrowing the old Doom term, gibbing might happen when, you deal enough damage in a single attack to overkill an enemy. Depending on how much overkill happens, the gibbing chance goes up (damage equal to twice their health guarantees a gib). To quickly enjoy the lovely visuals, walk up to a former human and sell him a shotgun blast into the face. Note that some weapons (explosive ones and melee) have a hidden factor that makes gibbing easier!
Level events

Probably the most interesting addition for people who're afraid of the Nightmare are level events - modifiers that might happen when entering a regular level. There's currently 8 of them, ranging from simple ones (the level has many more barrels...) to ones that expect you to do something within a turn-based time limit to gain extra experience. Not all events generate on every level branch, and we will be adding more of them in further releases of the game!
ADV AMPs

While the initial idea was to ditch the old AMP system altogether, as the first step we're introducing ADV AMPs with random stats for pistols (inlcluding SMGs), auto weapons (rifles and chainguns), and shotguns. The perk pool for them is currently quite shallow; once we improve on it, we will probably remove the old regular AMPs.
Plasma grenade

The ultimate overkill tool, packing a whopping 200 plasma damage in a single grenade. Useful in Nightmare for gibbing, and in all difficulties for making sure that big dude dies. Don't bother saving them for the summoner though (see below).
UI

The seed line below the level name has been changed. It now states the difficulty (by single letter), the challenge abbreviation (if present), and the general seed of the run. Apart from helping streamers not answer the basic questions each time, it will help us have all the needed information in a screenshot when reporting issues with level generation.

Additionally, as requested, we've added head slot durability to the UI, and removed the armor name, as usually you remember what you're wearing and you can always shift-compare with what's on the ground.

Balance changes

Summoner now has a damage gate - if you deal more than 80 damage before he takes his turn, all further damage is negated until that time. If you're faster than him, you might notice his health turning violet - don't bother shooting him then (later we'll add a nice shield effect once shields are in!).

Barrel damage has been increased - this makes for more gibbing fun, but also might prove fatal if you're not careful!

We've increased the amount of loot, too - common chests always drop at least 3 items, with special tier 1 chests and vaults appearing more often.

Finally some more minor changes and the regular supply of bugfixes which all can be summed up in the full changelog below:

Full changelog

Beta 0.9.3 - Nightmare - September 7, 2020

What's next?

We're working on a bigger feature, but it's taking more time than anticipated, so in the meantime we'll do a smaller content-focused release next. In hopefully two weeks you'll get 0.9.4 Europa, with various additions to level generation and other new stuff to explore. Until then, try not to fall victim to the Nightmare!
Patch 0.9.2 (27 July 2020)

After a longer break (much needed since we've been crunching since launch), we present 0.9.2 Vision! The three biggest additions this time is the enabling of the head slot, with various associated items that have their ADV versions too, changing the vision range on some levels (lower or higher) and two new special levels!
Helmets, Visors and Gasmasks

The head slot is finally functional! While the base helmet just protects from critical hits (like the imp or reaver charge attack), stronger helmets carry a slight armor bonus. ADV versions come with a subset of armor perks. Visors and gasmasks however drop always ADV and have their own brand new pool of perks related to vision, scouting and hacking!
Vision range

Up until now vision range was hardcoded. Now you'll often encounter levels with reduced vision range - carry a shotgun and beware of melee enemies! Or, find a nice visor with Nightvision. Some caves have a higher vision range, giving more strength to long range weapons. Further along we might reduce the sight range of some enemies and make them operate on scent and sound alone, but that's for a future update! We took this occasion to tinker with the default camera settings too - the camera will adapt to vision range, and show stuff at a slightly better range.
New special levels

We've added one alternative level that can spawn instead of the Warehouse on Io, with a strong theme, new mechanics and an unique reward. On Europa, Refueling Base can also be swapped for a new level, The Pit. To avoid spoilers I'll end this paragraph here :).
Balancing

7.62 sidearm got a damage buff, and assault rifle got it's range nerfed a bit. We've also significantly increased the duration of the EMP effect. Also melee weapon drops are now more common.
Other changes

Drones can now actually fly over gaps, so don't be surprised if you're flanked on Callisto Spaceport :). Also, while adding helmets we noticed that green/blue/red as a descriptor is kind of boring - both armor and helmets now follow a new naming - basic (green), marine (blue), combat (red).

Full changelog

What's next?

This update is on the lighter side, the next one might be much beefier. 0.9.3 Nightmare is coming! Apart from obvious content for the high level players, we'll also add signifcant changes for everyone :). The update should land in 3-4 weeks from now.

Patch 0.9.1 (02 June 2020)

After a longer break where we stabilized 0.9 and took a bit time off it's time to get back to scheduled releases! This time we look at the first episode of the game, adding a new enemy, new tileset, new branch and new special level. Read all about it below!

But before we do that, we're happy to announce that we're running an AMA on the r/Games reddit, that will be starting exactly an hour from now (11 AM PT/8 PM CEST), be sure to check it out!

Mimir Habitat

Probably the most noticeable addition this release is the new Callisto branch, Mimir Habitat, sporting a new civilian and very retro sci-fi flavored bright visual tileset, be sure to visit it as soon as you can! Next version two branches from the current set of three will be available each run, but this version we've set Mimir to always appear so you don't have to be on the mercy of the RNG to visit it. As all branches it is finished up with a new special level that shares similarities with Valhalla Command, but has its own unique twist.
Callisto all lit up

As the initial idea behind the tileset was to make Callisto more brighter, we also took care to improve lighting on all main branch Callisto generators - this is more or less noticeable depending on the generator, but you'll definitely notice it!
Sentries

To improve early game we also have a new robotic enemy (yes, it's hackable :P), that power-wise sits in the gap between drones and security bots. As with all upcoming enemies it has variants and unique behavior twists (we'll be revisiting some old enemies later too) - speaking of the old security bots, they now slightly differ between their Callisto, Europa and Beyond variants - most importantly the Callisto ones are a bit easier to deal with.
Grenade buffs

In terms of dealing with enemies, our old friends, grenades got a very significant buff, and if you're not using them you'll be seriously missing out. Both frag and krak grenades got their damage DOUBLED, and all the other grenades got significant buffs also (be it duration, damage or strength).
Balance changes

Another set of 0.9 balance changes is also in, starting with inevitable nerfs to Wizard smoke cooldown and Entrenchment damage resistance values, but also removal of Onslaught accuracy penalty, a bugfix that significantly improves Onslaught and Gun Kata targeting and a new terminal (BTW, all terminals have a new model now) that appears rarely but also in set places that helps with ammo consumption issues. Some nasty spawn situations, like Anomaly and Containment in-your-face reavers, have been also improved.
UI improvements

When manual targeting you now see the name of the tile you're targeting and you can use SHIFT to actually see what an item is from a distance (basically doubling as a typical roguelike look mode). We'll add more enemy information to this mode at some later point in time too.

Issue with time passage and terminals/stations has also been resolved, as well as terminal and inventory no longer exiting on action (the latter only if there are no enemies in sight).

Full fixes and changes follow:

What's next

The next update might come as soon as in two weeks, tentatively it's named 0.9.2 Vision, and will have further improvements to the variety of early game and possibly an improvement pass on Europa. Stay tuned and tell us what you think of this release!
Patch 0.9.0 (28 April 2020)

Hell, it's about time! Our most significant update yet, Jupiter Hell 0.9.0 -- a.k.a. "Masters" (of Doom? :P) -- is out, and with it, 15 (fifteen!) Master traits have been added, each bringing a unique playstyle! Read all about it below!

But before we get to the meat, this is our most important release up to date and we want to reach with it as many people as possible! We'd be honored if you'd help us spread the news among friends, communities and your favorite streamers! Only YOU can really help us out with this quest!

Also, if you want to discuss master builds, be sure to join our Discord Server :)

Masters!

Fifteen Master traits have been added, five per class. Some of them are generic, some of them tailored toward a particular weapon group. All of these have 3 trait levels that can be picked -- one each at level 7, 10 and 13. Contrary to prior updates, Master traits have relatively few requirements (3 or 4 traits), and do not block any other traits, for maximum build flexibility.
Marine Masters

Onslaught - once you spool up your chain-fire weapon (see below), you can move while firing and increasing spool-up!

Bulletstorm - adds 1 more shot per action to SMGs and pistols, and reduces their ammo consumption

Army of Darkness - designed with Shotguns in mind, this is a generic trait that converts the Slash weapon damage type to Pierce, and maximizes their effective range

Vampyre - Health regeneration on melee kills

Survivor - generalist trait makes you harder to kill and provides limited regeneration capabilities

Scout Masters

Sniper - for use with any rifle, increases ranges and provides a bonus to critical chance which scales with range to target

Gun Kata - fan favorite -- automatically shoots both your pistols at different targets as you dance between enemies

Gunrunner - reload weapons on move and reduces their fire time for the turn after a move, leading to a run and gun playstyle

Assassinate - Scout's flashy melee master -- phaseshift right behind the enemy to deliver a fatal blow

Ghost - for the sneaky among us, significantly reduces stealth costs and detects enemies before you see them

Technician Masters

Entrenchment - hold position and start spewing bullets - automatic hunker and damage reduction when firing while remaining stationary

Sharpshooter - for the pistol fans: increased ranges and damage bonus which scales with range to target

Fireangel - when you want to see the world burn. Shrug off explosions and proc fire effects

Blademaster - Tech's melee master -- wield two blades at the same time for more damage!

Wizard - smoke screen on cooldown, buff to hacked enemies and bot summoning

Apart from that, some of the existing non-master traits have been changed or removed, and a new Eagle Eye trait is present in Scout.

Masters obviously shake up the game a lot, and we tried to compensate balance for it (see below), but generally we kept most of the traits on the overpowered side -- expect more balancing in future updates :P

New Uncommon Weapons

To provide more early-game variety and fill up some gaps in weapon types vs available ammo, we added 6 new weapons that are alternatives to current common weapons:

9mm combat pistol

.44 long revolver

7.62 sidearm

7.62 assault SMG

7.62 sniper rifle

CRI plasma cannon

All of the above have ADV variants (which now show their tier in the name, i.e. AV1, AV2 and AV3), and are sometimes carried by regular humanoid enemies.

Chaingun Spool-up

Chaingun has changed! To give the chaingun its own niche among other similar weapons, chaingun now ramps up to its full damage potential after two turns of uninterrupted firing, represented by audio and visual effects, and a Spool-up status effect. Pick Marine's Onslaught master trait if you want to move while mowing down enemies!
Improved Animations

Speaking of the chaingun animation, we've also made a general pass on animations in the game - the player's body now rotates separately from the legs when firing and aiming, movement is smoothed out, rotating weapons actually rotate, and other miscellaneous animations were fixed.
UI Improvements

Several minor UI improvements have been made -- health bars now show what damage was done since the last turn, required traits in trait descriptions are highlighted red or green depending on whether or not the requirements are already met, and weapon statistics have been made more compact, and now include explicit weapon-group information.
Major Balance Changes

The inclusion of Master traits caused us to take a significant pass at game balance. In general, we made early-game a bit easier (especially on Medium), and significantly buffed all late game enemies to offset the power of Master traits. Also, there are more enemies in general post-Europa (scaling with difficulty).

Oh, and remember that UV accuracy bonus for enemies? It wasn't working correctly; we've now fixed it. Expect a lot more pain on Ultraviolence ;)

Plethora of Bugfixes

Last (but certainly not least), we fixed plenty of bugs, and we eagerly anticipate fixing the ones that will inevitably popup in this release with the amount of added mechanics :P.
