- All the levels are light-baked now - The default color is changed - The bullet time structure is changed to be pressed once, more familiar with Max Payne. The attack speed is increased in Bullet Time. - Automatically dual-wield weapons when picking up an item or buying an item from the merchant. - Each hit from the player distorts the enemy. A reference to The Matrix. - Excessive Blood is off as the default setting. - Difficulty is reduced (except for "Sperm" and "The Horror") - Some Kill Text words are changed (after getting feedback when not being a local) - Limbo item is back again to make picking up an item when the inventory is full easier. - The weapon recoil is reduced - The grenade throwing strength + explosion radius is higher, the grenade damage to player is lower. - Saving restores 100% HP - Ambient sound with footstep sound being on again. 'Music Elements' setting added. - Slaughter 2/3 (NG+) adds 150/300 more HP. Bosses damage in NG+ is multiplied, too. - More ammo after diving/ exploding a blue corpse - Smaller fixes
Trunks
0.8.12c
- Reverted to PLENTIFUL ammo cap & inventory slots (49 instead of 35) version with some according changes - Folks who bought the game from The Indie House event may want to restart (to recharge newly picked up weapons), or switch back to the ammo-scarce version at 0.8.12b with the password LowkeyVibeMode
THE MINDLESS LIVES...AGAIN
Minor tweaks
- Default weapon swaying = Off - Default camera shaking = Very low - Music changing volume (Max and Min) tweaked
Neon Doctrine cooperation, The Indie House, and Update V0.8.12
Hey folks, Trunks here. The publisher is Neon Doctrine, they have an amazing list of games you can check out, and they are very nice guys. Neon Doctrine is bringing Devilated to The Indie House event this year.

And the full reveal event:
[previewyoutube="bi25oCVIE7M;full"]
Below are the changes since the last May update.
If you bought in the Realms Deep event, chances are you've seen parts of them as I've been pushing them out gradually. If you are with the old builds and haven't finished, it's recommended to restart as the design is changed (password "LowkeyVibeMode" for older versions).
Push-forward combat
with in-battle colored resources. Potion system, potion shop and gem shop are removed. Ammo is reduced, forcing switching weapons constantly. Orange corpse heals 30 HP, blue corpse heals 50% all weapons' ammo, white corpse gives 1 grenade. Thanks to Demetroid for the suggestion of incorporating the push-forward design more closely in Devilated.
'Durability' is added
Previously, 'weapon disappearing' forced constant weapon switching. Now broken weapons could be kept in the inventory to be recharged at Bless Point (once per level). Merchant now recharges durability instead of providing ammo (costly)
Picking a corpse up by standing near it
instead of having to point at it. Combine Diving with Use key.
Main loop
+ Low on HP/Ammo: Explode corpse/ Use Diving + Low on Durability: Keep in the inventory to recharge at Bless Point/ Replace with new weapons (from merchant/ crates) + Out of ammo: Switch to other weapons to passively regain that weapon's ammo via blue enemies/ Replace with new weapons
Compass with next point marker
Hard to get lost now.
Kill text is added
Each kill has an absurd text flying up with a color indicating the hp/ammo/grenade resource. The default brightness is increased and the contrast is lowered. Easier to see enemies killed even in the dark now.
Enemies are more stupid
(run horizontally sometimes instead of only charging at player)
Bosses' vulnerable parts are highlighted with outlines.
Consumable orange & blue fires
in Boss fights for hp & ammo that can regenerate later.
Unlock more variations of weapons, enemies,... earlier in the game
The start of the game becomes difficult sooner.
Bullet-time is limited
just enough to fight in later levels. Incoming Enemy Arrows/ HP/ Ammo/ Dash/ BulletTime bars added around the crosshair: Easily monitored instead of looking at the screen corners.
Defeating boss rewards
Spawning 4 random items & Recharging 100% HP + Durability + Ammo for all weapons.
Enemies in Slaughter II and Slaughter III (NG+) are randomized
After completing the game in Slaughter I, the final enemy variation is maintained onto the next NG+ with unpredictability & increased enemy number instead of first levels' grunt enemies again.
Show damage stats and labels
(explosive/ energetic...) on weapons except for Staffs. Except for the Machine guns which are more consistent, damage is a rough estimation as weapons are varied.
"Retro" as the default color
instead of "Raw". The game is more cohesive in style.
Default Warrior difficulty is harder
(+50%). 5 difficulty levels instead of 10.
- Meat shield: more effective (blocking 65%) at the cost of its durability - Maximum gold = 20k. - Stylish bar is now a speed multiplier - Encampment portals are scattered around the map. Some buttons are removed - Fewer total equipment slots & inventory slots - Movement is smoother & less restricted. - The game is slowed down a bit - Teleporting point is hidden in the Encampment area until the very last level. - Added a setting to not increase music volume during combat - Focus mode: Zooming in amount reduced, mouse looking sensitivity reduced. - Loading screen is simplified. - Full changelog: https://steamcommunity.com/app/570950/discussions/0/3110267314130087922/
Working with Neon Doctrine, from now on I'll keep the most updated experimental version at "FutureMan" branch
And as I've usually said, it is always easiest to manage the expectations :)
Thanks to Ty - In The Keep, Demetroid, Matheo, Adria Carrasco, Nikolay Korneev, Choo Choo, Dotoo and Shang-Pao for the feedback.
Cheers!
Publishing with a publisher
Signed. From now on, I'll be working under a publishing deal. Very nice and kind guys. Will be officially announced later.
Cheers! ;)
Hotfix
- Dashing & Bullet Time abilities are unlocked in the beginning.

[V0.8.3] Saving system is changed
Saving system is changed, now you can save all and save everywhere (except for boss health). If you are having old save files in your system, they won't be loaded but won't be deleted either (you will need to revert to old game version for them to work). New save files have "tc" prefix.
If you want to revert back to old game build to use the old saving files, switch to version0.8.02_oldsavingsystem beta with password "LowkeyVibeMode"
This saving system is being experimented, so if you detect something that is not working as intended, please leave a post.
