Today we reached the 50.000 Wishes on Steam, and we want to celebrate it with you in a special Dev Livestream!
Hellbound's Demo is currently participating in the Steam Game Festival and it has been featured all over the front page 😎
So we want to make a live-stream with you and I (Tobias Rusjan, director) playing together the current version of the game, explanning some development stuff, chatting with you guys, and also showing some NEVER SEEN BEFORE LEVELS...
So join us today from 12 PM (Pacific Daylight Time) here:
We're so busy working on the project, that we needed to ask Hellgore (Artie Widgery Voiceovers) to give you a message directly from Hell 🔥

That's right! We have all the voices recorded for the game now, and we're entering in the final steps...
So stay tuned, BIG news are coming soon 😎👉
Cheers and take care!

Quarantine??? No problem 😎👉
Hey everybody! How are you doing? 😷
We're doing very well, entirely working in Hellbound as always. But this time and due to the quarantine established here in Argentina because of COVID 19, every one of us is working from home 😎
Even though the project originally started with all of us working from distance, during the last year and a half some of us have been sharing the same working place.
We started at the old Saibot office located in Caballito (Capital Federal of Buenos Aires), and most recently we moved to Vicente López (province of Buenos Aires).
So we had to set up some stuff to get back to this remote working thing, but it's actually doing pretty well so far 👌
Below you can find us in our "caves"...
Juan "Juancho" Caratino
Tobías "Toba" Rusjan
Fernando "Fercho" Muzzio
David "Deibit" Levill
Victor "Vik" Ahmed
But we want to take this opportunity to tell you about the progress of the Campaign Mode of Hellbound. Today we have:
VISUALS: 75% of the levels now have final visuals
GAMEPLAY: 90% of the mechanics for the levels are currently working
AUDIO: The music for the entirely game has been created, it only needs some new masters and final touches
Also, we continue working on the tombs for The Heroes' Cemetery. Soon enough there will be solid news on this too 💀
We're aiming to have a release for mid-late of this 2020. So we'll see how things go...
In the mid time, don't forget to add the game to your wishlist!
And now, we want to hear from you. How is this virus thing influencing you? Have you been playing the new DOOM Eternal? What are your thoughts?
Let us know in the comments below, we always love reading them 🤓
Cheers from the team at Saibot Studios!

2020 is the year for Hellbound! 😈
Hey guys! How's it going?! It's been awhile!
Quite some time has passed since our last update about us and Hellbound, but it was because we have been more busy than ever working on the project 👉
We recently have our most exhaustive milestone to date... I'm talking about the creation of one of the last levels in the Campaign Mode, the largest and more complex of them all 🤯
We don't want to spoil you too much, but we can tell you that it's the most faithful level of the game so far; with labyrinths, elevators, back-tracking, tons of secrets, and a lot more!
Everything including visuals and audio quality FROM HELL 🔥
Soon enough, we'll be revealing you some new material from the game. In the mid time, here's a photo of us during a "regular working day" at Saibot Studios 😎
Cheers from the team!

Hello, brave soldiers! How was your 2019?

Defining the Movement System 🧐
Lovely creatures! How are you? 👹
We're collating all of your awesome feedback, thanks A LOT for that!
And we have a question for you about the Movement System. What do you prefer for the Campaign? Walk+Run+Sprint (current)? Walk+Run? Walk+Sprint? 🧐
