SUFFER 1.5 Patch Notes
SUFFER 2 is Out Now On Steam
I'm extremely proud to announce that SUFFER 2 is officially live on Steam!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1595770/SUFFER_2/
This game has been in development for over two years and I believe it is a huge improvement over the original! The music, graphics, and sound have all been vastly improved and I've learned so much about level design since the original that these new stages are my best yet. The game works great on Valve's Steam Deck and plays perfectly even on older hardware.
If you haven't played the original you won't feel lost if you start with SUFFER 2 - this is a boomer shooter first and the story is very light. The Leviathan Government has taken control and destroyed the world! It's up to The Spirit of Anarchy to end their tyranny with ninja swords and extreme firepower! With 5 difficulty settings and 39 levels there is plenty of content here to keep you coming back for more SUFFER!
Thank you to everyone for the support over the years. This game is my best yet and I hope you all enjoy it. I have some future updates planned but right now I'm focused on getting this one out there to the players. It's way more polished than the original and I am incredibly happy with how it turned out.

Thank you :)
SUFFER Price Reduction!
SUFFER 2 is coming next week and the original game will now be priced at $2.99! SUFFER 2 will be taking the $4.99 price spot. This is because I firmly believe the sequel to be a superior game and I wanted the pricing to reflect that. Also, when games are cheaper everyone wins! Thanks to everyone for the support and for playing my games. I hope you all have great weekends!
Thank you,
Shawn
SUFFER 2 Release Date 1/13/2023
I'm very happy to announce that SUFFER 2 will be released on Friday the 13th!
January 13th, 2023 you will be able to purchase your copy of SUFFER 2 on Steam! I've been working really hard on this one - it has many improvements over the original game. SUFFER 2 has more weapons, more enemies, better AI, better graphics and effects, an entirely new soundtrack, and it is just a way more polished product.
I can't wait for players to get their hands on this!
Thank you for everything!
SUFFER on the Steam Deck!
I'm happy to announce that SUFFER works great on Valve's Steam Deck!
I've spent a bit of time updating the official artwork to support the Steam Deck and I feel pretty good about how it looks in my Library. There won't be any additional updates for this game as I've moved onto development of the sequel, but I'm happy to see new hardware bring life to this old game! The "pick up and play" nature of SUFFER's short, action-packed levels make it a great game to play on the go or just a quick level or two on the couch. I'm surprised by how well it plays with Valve's handheld controls, especially since I'm a keyboard/mouse kind of guy! It's been years since I've booted up the original SUFFER so I found myself pleasantly surprised by how I was sucked right back into the hectic gameplay. The speakers also blew me away, the basslines and guitar insanity sound surprisingly great coming out of this "little" handheld device. It's definitely a cut above a smartphone or laptop. I'm glad I invested in the Steam Deck, I've got nothing negative to say about it. I'm still in awe that my game, developed completely for the Windows platform and years before the Steam Deck was even announced, works without any development effort on my part. Truly amazing!
SUFFER plays so great on this bad boi that I plan on targeting this hardware specifically for SUFFER 2. I'll be looking at getting the UI artwork to support the 16:10 aspect ratio and possibly even tinker with the controls to take advantage of the Steam Deck's features. I'll keep you posted on SUFFER 2 soon, I promise! :)
As always, thank you so much for all of the support throughout the years. Making this game has been an awesome experience!
