Red Tether
Red Tether Version 1.201 (Hazard Zone)
-Sludge Pump fire rate increased (1.4-->1.2)
-Attempted to fix a bug causing the first upgrade in a run to not take effect.
-Fixed bad collision on messy barb harpoon anim.
-Fixed empty entry in tether item database orb.
-Fixed Puppy Renegade B crash self damage not resetting correctly on ship selection update.
-Fixed bad collision on tanner class hazard carrier.
-Fixed a couple ambiance sounds using the wrong channel, potentially overwriting other sounds in specific circumstances.
Red Tether 1.2 Hazard Zone Is Here!
1.2 Hazard Zone is here and it brings B variants for all player ships, 33 new upgrades, new zone variants with new hazards and a tough new boss encounter that is key to unlocking the new ship variants.
Flawless play is now rewarded with additional loot choices on cargo ships. Zone variants are more distinct now and I tried to tone down the difficulty spike related to zone 3 freeze effects yet again. Combined with both new and amped up challenges in zone 3 this should hopefully lead to smoother difficulty curve across a run.
If you want to know more about the new features you can check the original announcement post. There is also a full change-log available.
A quick heads up for long time players:
The size of this update required reworking a big part of the unlock progression. Most noticeably you now also get unlocks for flawlessly defeating bosses.
To easy in new players, some pre-existing upgrades that have more complex functions now require unlocking. So you might see some already known upgrades popping up as boss unlocks. Additionally, a few selected boss defeat unlocks have now become boss flawless unlocks instead.
Items that have changed unlock conditions will not require you to unlock them again, but this also means that some bosses won’t have flawless rewards if you already unlocked their item. Check the item database orbs to see how unlock conditions have changed in detail.
As with my previous content updates, 1.2 Hazard Zone is available for free. Have fun experimenting with all the new upgrades and mechanics and please consider leaving a review if you had a good time with them game so far. Also, the game is 25% for the ongoing summer sale, so now is the time to tell everyone to get it. :p Up next for Red Tether is a much smaller update. 1.250 Shield Care will focus on adding some much needed defensive upgrades to balance out the loot pool, probably arriving later this year.
Cheers and stay tethered.

New Stuff

Red Tether 1.2 Hazard Zone Is In The Works!
After wrapping up the Swirl W@tch release I finally found some time to put together the next content update for ---Red---Tether-->. This is the big one, adding a ton of stuff that I had been considering and planning since launch.
Ship B Variants
The star of the show will be the new B variants for all player ships, featuring starting upgrades that try to add a fresh spin on the original ship’s play style. Some highlights:
Puppy Renegade B gets Crash Hammer, amplifying Speed-Crashes even more than Crash-Saw, but also causing you to bounce back from colliding with large things.
Shackles Flora B does something quirky with tether connections again, starting with a Multi Projector that allows you to charge up and fire additional harpoons, which are then all tethered to the next one you fire. This allows to quickly concentrate a lot of rip or pull force on a single object, but also has a lot of unexpected synergy-potential.
Knife Diva B again gets an alternate means of offense: Hardlight Arms allow you to yield any weapon attachment that you have ripped from enemy ships. Fire them till their ammunition is depleted, then throw them at whatever is left for a final burst of damage.
Chunk Sacred and Plush Revolver where in a bit of a tough spot for getting an alternate play style. There is only so much you can do with tanky ship and glass cannon ship, so I opted for them to stray much further from their A variant. In the end they both got things that invite you to pretty drastically change how you play a run.
The B variants will require looting ship design data from a new boss that is only sent against ships that have already managed to win an interception run. Getting the new ships can be considered the new late game.
New Upgrads, New Zone Variants
But there is a lot to find for new players too. Many more upgrades will make it into to the loot pool, about 30 new ones total, a third more of what the game previously had. Further more, Zone 2, 3 and 4 are all getting a rework. The goal there is to make their two zone variants much more distinct. The Refinery Complex is still the fuel zone, but Chemical Spill now focuses on a new acid hazard for example. There will be three new hazard mechanics for you to counter and exploit in these reworked zones. As with the existing hazards, they can affect both you and the enemy fleet. New enemy variants and wave modifiers will also make use of these new systems. And you can probably guess what the B variants of the hazard squad ships are all about.
Additional Tweaks
Alongside the new content the game will also get some minor bug fixed, additions to the training area, quality of life tweaks, new lore and balance changes. Most noticeably you will get additional loot choices on cargo ships if you haven’t taken heart damage during the entire run/the current zone respectively. The zone rework will also aim to even out the zone 3 difficulty spike.
---Red---Tether--> 1.2 Hazard Zone was a blast to make and is already feature complete. I’m doing some final additions and testing during the next weeks. The update will then release on June 29. As with my previous content updates, it will be free of charge.
Cheers and stay tethered!

Swirl W@tch has launched! (Hyperspace Anthology Vol 2)
Attention all RTP affiliates: The next entry in the Hyperspace Anthology has arrived: Swirl W@tch shares the top-down perspective, game world and art style with ---Red---Tether-->, but explores a completely different genre. You will stealth-infiltrate the ravaging industries of Cloud 2, a vibrant gas-giant that has become the new Floatoid home-world. Use sonar to track corporate guard forces, eliminate or capture ships using a plethora of gadgets and grow the resistance movement to unlock new gear.
Swirl W@tch is available for Windows PC and Linux. If you decide to get the game then please consider leaving a review, reaching at least 10 reviews is crucial for the game right now.
A thousand limbs uplift you!
As for ---Red---Tether-->: I’m still considering how I want to structure the upcoming content updates, as in what will get added in what order. Stay tuned for more infos in the upcoming months.
Cheers
Stefan – Sleeper Games
---Red---Tether--> Anniversary Update!
There also have been a lot of smaller patches during the last months, thanks to increased community feedback. Alongside smaller fixes, these updates also eliminated some difficulty spikes, made certain items more usable and reworked the progression to give better mid game rewards. You can check out the whole changelog here.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed the game so far! Red Tether’s moderate success keeps the studio going and your reviews play a part in that. And I’m still looking forward to adding some more meaty content to the game later this year!
Cheers and stay tethered!
