Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2 Releases PC Demo!
Back when we released Sword of the Stars: The Pit 2 into Early Access back around Halloween of last year, we were looking for a particular type of player who was keen on getting their hands on the new game, trying it out, and giving us feedback. We knew that not every player was that kind of player and that some would wait to see how the game progressed and that was fine.
Now, after nearly six months of tweaking and adding and polishing and updating and hot-fixing, we're very close to the end of Early Access. And it just so happens that Steam is having their Going Rogue week-long sale.
Meaning, if you've been waiting for the game to grow before jumping in, now is the time, as it is on sale for 30% off the special Early Access price all week long.
And if you're still not sure... TRY THE DEMO!
That's right, we feel that even with the game still in Early Access, and we are still chasing bugs and tweaking some things, we can offer you a demonstration taste of The Pit 2.
You can choose two of the five player characters in the game, The Marine and The Medic, to get an idea how differently characters play compared to one another (you can still check the skills, attributes, and item load-outs of the other three, you just can't play them). Then you can try the first three floors of The Pit 2, with the normal dynamic layouts and randomized encounters and loot! Shoot some things, scrounge for things, make things, turn things into other things! Maybe die! Probably die! It's a Rogue!
And after having some fun on the first three floors, ask yourself... if this is just the demo, what would you find if you could go to floor four and beyond?
Even more things, that's what. Armor, monsters, special floors with special surprises, new rooms filled with who knows what! So, while the Going Rogue sale is on, consider picking up our game at its discounted price!
TRY THE DEMO TODAY!
(or buy the full game. seize the day!)

- Review on Steam
The Pit series of games are pleased to be part of Steam's week-long celebration of the Rogue genre!
We are particularly pleased that after 6 months in Early Access, The Pit 2 has taken great strides in finding a balance between the gameplay and feel of the 2D original and offering plays a sequel with something new. Now is a great time to join the game in Early Access and help The Pit community work with the dev team in striking that balance, particularly with this week-long discount. The Pit 2 will climb our of Early Access soon and the Early Access pricing will not last.
Join us on the Community Boards, Discord, or Twitter to chat with the developers!

Touchbase Tuesday: 1.0.12 and 1.0.13 Medics, Monsters, and... Mweapons.
There is so much in this game!
For starters, Astryd Jemison, SolForce medic, has returned to The Pit and players can take advantage of her environmentally hardened Caduceus armor and transfusor gun (not to mention her electrified, bot-thumpin' combat baton)!
Not as rugged as marine Raptors, Astryd isn't as fragile as the Engineer or Scout, as she enters The Pit with her disease and poison resistant armor, her bot flattening Combat Baton, and most importantly, her Transfuser gun, which not only deals damage, but transfers health from enemy targets to herself. Used wisely, The Medic offers new and exciting runs down into The Pit!
There are so many new things in the game now, it's a lot of talk about! Prop in your way? Bash it till it breaks. Weapons and their abilities have been expanded in-game, so watch for them to inflict all sorts of conditions on the player! New camera controls on the HUD to make it easier for players to get the best view of the action or tweak it just the way they like it!
Last update we added Mods and these are worth mentioning again. Mods come in three flavors; the kind that modify your weapons, the kind that modify your armor, and the kind that modify you. The only trouble is this is SolForce tech and while you know how to add, what they do, well, that's a bit of a guess. But you don't have to gamble on fusing a crappy and permanent mod onto your favorite rifle, if you have the means to scan them first. But hey, when you're against the wall, maybe it can't hurt to roll the dice.
---------------------------- Fryoids and Cyberjaegers and... Scraplings! Oh My! ----------------------------
On top of all this, we've added lots of player feedback, a couple new pistols, and a host of new monsters to keep you on your toes. We have a few more updates to come, but every update brings us closer to leaving Early Access and that means now more than ever we need your input! Keep on playing the game, keep letting us know if you find bugs or even just things that bug you, and most of all tell us have far you make it... into The Pit!
This is a really good update to jump in on if you haven't checked out the game in awhile! Thanks everybody!

Touchbase Tuesday: 1.0.11 Update Adds New Abilities System!
Do not let the size of this changelog fool you. Over the last two weeks a lot of effort went into a single line item with huge implications in the game: The Abilities System.
In short, the Abilities System offers players - randomly, every few levels - a selection of abilities that give them an unexpected, but valuable boost in certain aspects of the game. Healing, shooting, crafting, you name it, can take a big leap forward and give players just a little bit more of an edge as they try and survive to the bottom of The Pit! But make no mistake, these aren't free rides to victory - as well as infrequent, abilities are random and players must make some hard decisions of what gains to take and what to leave behind, hoping fervently the RNG gods will offer up that one juicy ability later in their run.
You can see abilities and their specific effects on the Character Select screen, but we'll post their description text below. OH YEAH! We completely overhauled the Main Menu and Character Select screens! We didn't talk about it a lot when it went live at the start of the month, but now's a good time. We gave the Main Menu a cosmetic overhaul and more importantly, we greatly expanded the Character Select screen, giving players much more information about the unique particulars of each character (which now includes Abilities info).
Curious about those Abilities? Here's a taste of a few of them;
STUNNING BLOW: Chance a melee attack will stun the target.
“You have learned the ancient combat technique of the judo chop to the neck. Your enemies will be stunned.”
RESILIENT: Additional resistance to disease and poison.
“Your immune system has become more powerful after all you have put it through. That which doesn’t kill you, yadda, yadda, yadda...”
SIDESTEP: Chance to avoid setting off a trap.
“You have learned to listen for that telltale sound of a trap coming to life, giving you the chance to leap aside before it can activate.”
CRITICAL EYE: Extra penetration to all attacks.
“Nothing is perfect. Even the strongest armor has flaws. And now you can see them all.”
GADGETEER: Bonus to any crafting using a lab table.
“You may not be able to make everything from junk, but you just got a lot closer to proving that you can with the right equipment.”
That is just a small sample of what you'll find in the game, so jump into The Pit and see what new opportunities fate brings your way!
===========
Update 1.0.11
ADDED
- Abilities system added! In addition to levelling and improving their skills, players will now be randomly given a choice of three Abilities every few floors, which give them advantages in their run into the depths of The Pit.
- Motion sensor functional - Get your hands on one of these items and let your Marine pretend he's a Scout and have a look at what lurks around every corner. For awhile at least.
- Security Station fully functioning - Take a breather from picking locked doors and running from Security Bots, but only if you can work some computer magic. Get it wrong and you could find yourself stunned, hurt, or facing down a host of lethally curious security bots.
- Surveillance Console fully functioning - Stop wandering around wondering what's out there. Hack these consoles and the entire level will be revealed in the mini-map, enemies included!
- Enemy flee movement reduced - You winged 'em and now they're making a run for it, but not at top speed.
CHANGED
- Mini-Map - Visible enemies appear.
- Mini-Map - Tilt removed for improved readability.
- Loading options refactored - Attempting to address resolution changing when loading game map.
FIXED
- Bed regen issue with status ailments resolved.
- Infinite desk exploit no longer, uh, exploitable.
- AI pathing bug fixed.
- Combat penalty bug fixed.
- Mini-Map scale-to-fit-area bug fixed.
Touchbase Tuesday: It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Xmas! An Alien Xmas!
Somewhere after floor 3 you might stumble upon a special floor. Who put the tree there? A homesick, half-mad human prisoner? A crazed AI with a love of all things Xmas? Santa? Probably Santa! Because in that room are lots and lots of presents. Presents you can use to get some sweet XP and lots and lots of ammo. Maybe a new toy!
You know, now that we think about it, why would Santa give you ammo? It was probably the facility AI. It has access to all the weapons lockers. Whatever the case, please enjoy this special, holiday-only boost in gear!
Also, perhaps you'll find a special holiday message in the computer system. We hope you have some ridiculous, goofy fun with it over the holidays, because by new year our little content present goes back into the vault for a while, and we go back to trying to make the game kill you again.
We hope you have some time to relax yourself, have a happy holidays, and as always, tell your friends the game is part of the Steam holiday sale and keep posting your feedback here!
