Warriors from the Underworld! How are you? :zombie:
Today we have a new update for Hellbound (v1.0.3), which includes a lot of fixes and improvements based on your awesome feedback! You can see the entire changelog below 👇
And we want to take this opportunity to thank our friends at 3ogs (Pablo and Mauricio Navajas), who have been helping us fixing most of the bugs here. You guys rock!
Among other stuff, we finally finished creating (and adding to the game) the full body statues of our amazing backers from Kickstarter and from our official website 🙌
This is a task we have been doing for the last year and a half. You sent us your idea, we conceptualized it (Fernando Muzzio), then created the final 3D version (by Juan Caratino), and finally added to the game.
All the statues are located inside the level 3 of the campaign: "The Heroes' Cemetery". Some of them are on the surface, others at the coliseum (survival sector), and the rest can only be found in secret rooms...
Hope you guys like it as much as we do. Below you will find some examples :eyes:
Cheers and have a hell of a weekend!

The Black Heart 🎃
Hello, everybody! How are you?
On October 22 we'll be publishing our first game created by another studio, in this case by one single guy: Andrés Borghi 👍
We have been working with Andrés in the previous years for the creation of promotional videos for our games Doorways and Hellbound. But in this case, we'll be publishing his own creation called The Black Heart ːdoorways_heartː
It's a true honor for us to have the opportunity of publishing this awesome, crazy and spooky fighting game of Andres. You can follow the game on Facebook and Twitter for more news.
Have a great day/night!

There're still things to fix; but we're going to keep working on that, so don't worry!

Autorun ON by Default? 🤔
HELLo, everybody! How are you doing?
We're currently working on fixes and improvements based on all the awesome feedback you have been sending us. Hope we have solid news on that on next week 🤘
So we want to ask you something...
Some of you had troubles with the first jumps in the game, and it was because you were not running using Shift. In order to make it "old-school style", we didn't add any kind of tutorial over screen to let you know about that controls. So to keep that spirit, we're thinking about turning the Autorun option ON BY DEFAULT.
What do you guys think? It won't change anything to you, since you already have the game. But it will make the difference to newcomers. You can answer right here in the comments or voting at this other post on Facebook, Twitter or Discord (#dev-updates)
Have a hell of a weekend!

Post-Release QUICK Update! 🏃♂️
Hey everybody in Hell! How's it going?! 😈
We're analyzing all the great feedback you guys are giving us, so we can organize the tasks and then see what we can fix and improve ✍️
We are well aware of the critiques that have to do with the duration of the campaign.
About that, we can tell you that our idea from the beginning was to make an intense experience that feels like the classic FPSs but putting our full dedication to visuals, audio, and gameplay.That resulted in a few, but SUPER AWESOME, levels that can be completed quickly (even more so because of the pace of the game).
Making more levels was a possibility but that would have resulted in a lower quality experience, and we didn't want that at all.
All in all, be sure that we're reorganizing things and analyzing how everything moves on from this point forward. We’ll be updating you on that soon enough 😉
We thank all of you who have been supporting us and supporting our vision. A big HELLGORE-HUG to you from the dev team at Saibot Studios!
Share the video if you like it, and SEE YOU IN HELL!
