Honey, I Joined A Cult Futurist Update Out now!



Greetings Faithful followers

We have great news for you today as Update 2 is now live! The Future of Cults has landed in the all-new Futurist update for Honey, I Joined A Cult! Build the Cult of Tomorrow right now with our new additional content in Update 2!

See the trailer for the new update here [previewyoutube="d3fv1Ry59-Y;full"]

6 brand new Futurist rooms have been added for you to Experiment On/Liquefy/Flight Train your followers and cultists to ensure that they are ready for the future that you will control!



We have also added more special unique characters you can recruit to your noble cause, all themed as you would expect for a Futurist update!

In this new theme, we have of course, incorporated 2 brand new endings for you to discover during your time as leader of your new Futurist cult.

A new theme wouldn’t be complete without new additional outfits and hats. You can now make sure your cultists are ready for this brave new future that they are going to create by making them dress the part with our 3 new outfits and hats.

Your leader has seen the future and will help by giving you Leader Demands from time to time. Make sure you fulfill their needs and requests to get potential rewards or fail to satisfy their desires and reap the consequences!



We have also reworked both the Divine Inspiration and Research Tech trees in-game too. The Divine inspiration now features a visual representation of progress, making it easier to track your nefarious deeds!



As already mentioned, the new features are only available on brand new save files and not existing save games. If you have an existing save file you wish to carry on playing, you can still do so by right clicking the game in your Steam Library, clicking Properties, going to the BETAS option and switching to Steam BETA branch to version 0.4.068_patch2 as shown below.



Full details can be found below:

Adaptive Mission Scaling



  • Missions will now scale their difficulty level to match the average level of the top 75% of your cultists
  • Missions will also naturally become harder as time moves on to encourage players to level up cultists rather than stagnate

More Mission Choices

Picture-in-Picture


  • During important events such as a cultist dying, you will now be alerted via a small pop-up television depicting it as it happens

Save System:

Honey, I Joined A Cult Update 2 news!



Greetings faithful followers! It is I, your humble leader, Burt Biscuit, coming in hot with some fresh information regarding the 2nd major update for Honey, I Joined A Cult!

As a reward for your undying faith and loyalty, I find it fit to share it here!

Update 2 will be bringing a brand new Cult Theme that you can follow on your path to success!

Introducing the Futurist theme!



The Futurist Theme brings with it 6 brand new rooms, 3 special characters, 3 new unique outfits and headpieces for your cultists, and 2 all-new End Game options

New rooms include such exciting new facilities as a Flight Training Room, Robot Army Production Facility, A Human Testing Facility, Rocket Station and a Liquification Chamber! We won't spoil exactly what these do just yet, but we think you will be able to have a few guesses!







Other Update 2 additions include Leader Demands! Fulfill requests from your leader and gain the rewards, or fail to deliver and feel the consequences...

Divine Inspiration has had a rework too, making it easier to navigate through its new tech tree format as well as making it clearer to read and understand.

More Mission choices will be introduced too in this update, along with more mission object reward items to decorate your compound with!

Changes have been made to the Research Tech tree too, in order to better optimise the order in which you unlock things to make compound life more efficient!

Save Game Compatibility



One thing that we are keen to stress about this update, however, is that the new features will only work on brand new save game files. This doesn't mean that your existing compounds and cultists are dead and buried though! We will be releasing a separate game branch on Steam which you can opt into to carry on playing old save games so you can take over the world with your cult of ducks! We will have more info on how to do this when the update is released.

If you try to launch a save game from an older version of the game, you will see the below warning.



Simply close the game, go into your Steam Library, right-click the game and click on properties and select the BETAS option where you can choose which version you wish to run.

If you wish to experience the new additions, just let the game update and start a brand new save game and explore what new features have been included in this update!

We can't wait for you to try the new features out and look forward to hearing what stories you will have to tell us from cult life!.
