Besides adding the new realm and characters, I made some small changes to balancing things out (especially for the easy mode).
I also made the realms more of a choice to go into or not, as it will mean you now skip one or two levels. So if you are in a hurry and want to speedrun the game, knowing where to find the entries to these realms is certainly key.. but I can imagine it might sometimes be more interesting to NOT take the realm-route and grab some extra loot in the levels you would otherwise skip.
If you need a little spoiler on how/where to find the Rogue unlock tokens, make sure to check the Orangepixel website for the Games Wiki.
New game is released: Heroes of Loot - Gauntlet of Power - 15% discount!
Hey Adventurers!
Just wanted to make sure you didn't miss the release of the new Orangepixel game. It's another episode in the Heroes of Loot Saga:
A dungeon crawler with some bullet-heaven like properties and a kick-ass weapon system. Various content updates are already planned and will be hitting in the next few weeks, but NOW is the time to grab the game at the launch discount!
Don't forget to drop a review after you gave it some play time, and I'll see you in the dungeons!
Small update, allowing you to zoom in/out on the planet's radar, and some planets are a bit low on "Sealant" resources, so I added an extra check to make sure a planet DOES have enough.
The resource fix only works on new games not saved games, but so far, only one planet was discovered with not enough sealant in reachable areas!
Happy venturing!
Residual gains a new planet scanner in Quality of Life update
Calling all explorers: A new version of Residual was just pushed live! I've been somewhat busy working on my two new other games, but I still had some features on the list that I REALLY wanted to do for Residual, so better late than never.
One of the changes is more freedom for players to pick their planet. There are over a hundred planets available, all with variations in environment conditions and world layouts, and previously you would unlock those planets by closing a Hypergate and gaining a "Free travel rune". That system works, but only for those players that invested time into finding the Hypergate and closing it!
The change for this system is now that AFTER your first game you can pretty much pick any planet you want! No need to use travel runes, just pick a planet and drop in.
It will still pay off to close the Hypergate, because by doing that you will unlock the new Freeplay mode which will allow you to land on that planet, instead of crash on it, and will provide you with a small survival-backpack full of required food and devices, so that you can really just go explore and maybe find those remaining secret artifacts ;)
This update also comes with a fresh new Planet-scanner that gives you more insight in your surroundings and where you have and haven't been. It also makes better use of the available screen-space compared to the old radar.
So all in all I think this is a pretty cool update that certainly got myself back into playing the game again.. so who knows.. I might come up with a couple of other cool additions and enhancements ;)
The planet scanner has always been a bit of a messy, tiny, view of your planet. So make sure to grab this update as it brings in a MUCH better view of the planet, your steps taken, and you will even find hints of Dilithium on there now!
I also added Fruit seeds! So even on a planet with very little fruit, you can plant your own. - Where do you find these seeds? Well, luckily most creatures on a planet know where to find food, so they kinda poop/drop them every now and then ;)
Chase some animals for the seeds!
Full changes list for this update:
added: Creatures will drop Fruit seeds
added: Dilithium on the scanner
added: Fruit seeds, can be planted to grow fruit on any planet
added: Planet-selection is now available by default (no more Travel Runes needed)
added: Upgraded radar screen (bigger and more useful)
changed: cleaned up Travel Agency screen
fixed: Lit-up glucobombs now show "place" info instead of "backpack"

Come sample TWO new Orangepixel games in development and help shape the game!
Hey guys, it's Pascal from Orangepixel, and I wanted to give you a quick message to let you know that I uploaded a fresh, brand new, demo for both Regulator City and Heroes of Loot: Gauntlet of Power!
A quick mix of bullet-heaven shooters and dungeon crawlers like Binding of Isaac. It's early in development stage, but many gamers seem to really love it so far!
These games are still in development, but your feedback on the demo's are VERY welcome! Drop by on https://discord.gg/orangepixel to find out more about the games and have a nice chat about features you'd love to see before they get released!
Residual for MacOS is here!
All Orangepixel games are available for Windows, Linux and Mac, but due to some Apple changes over the recent years, Residual was not available for MacOS!
Today we remedy that problem, and you can now grab the game and enjoy it on Mac. All the updates and patches are added, so it's the latest build on par with Windows and Linux!
Enjoy the game :)
Regulator City gets a new public demo
Hi! Just a short update to let you know that there is NOW a new Regulator City DEMO available ! Still in heavy development, but I'm very pleased with where the game currently is.
There's a smoother game-flow experience (mission structure, city progress, all make more sense as you play) and there is even some on-boarding for new players in a short little "tutorial" level. You'll also experience a much better stealthy and sneaking-around experience to complete your missions!
This demo also brings you a new playable character: Wrecking-ball ! His dash is VERY nice to use, and his Special ability certainly packs a punch ;)
Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I just pushed the release button on a new Orangepixel Steam release: Sir Questionnaire!
It's a quirky game at a bargain price, it provides hours of gameplay in a VERY small package: The game is played in single dungeon rooms, where you are given the choice to either "interact" or "get outta there!".
Do you attack the skulls? got enough health? got the right weapon for the lobsters? Got some magic left to hit the huge Wolf on his head? Dare to drink the milk before the next encounter?
A game of choices - how far can you venture into the dungeon? Come play Sir Questionnaire, and make sure to drop by on discord if you need tips & tricks!
