PATCH 02-07-2023

Hi,

We have published a small patch that fixes an important bug:
When "Automatic items use" is enabled, if you press the action button (left mouse button by default) for using an item on a locked switch (a door, a panel or everything must be unlocked) more than one time while the switch is unlocking, the item is used more than one time, compromising its use in other situations and game progression.

Stay tuned,

Hi guys,

Today we have published a new update that fixes a blocking bug that appeared after the previous update.
Thanks to Lucius user that notify us the problem :).

I don't want to spoil anything, I want only to say that the problem was blocking, in the sense that it didn't allow to continue the game.

OIther improvements are:
  • Added a Confirmation dialog when clicking on Exit button
  • Removed a black line graphics glitch that appeared on some corners in the house
  • Graphics presets now works better
  • Some other bugfixes

Hope you are enjoying the game.

HELLSEED UPDATE #6: 02-01-2023

Hi guys,

Today we have released an update rich of news and bugfixes.

[h2]AUTO USE ITEMS[/h2]
We have introduced a new game option "Automatic item use". When this option is enabled the player automatically uses an item when needed without being forced to open the inventory and choose what to use. This already happened for keys, now it has been extended to all items (except 1 or 2 that need to be choosen) enabling this option. Now, disabling this option even the keys become non-automatic.
WARNING: Automatic item use doesn't work with old saved games. If you save a game state without automatic item use, all items in the inventory will be not automatic if you load the saved game state.

[h2]OPTIONS TOOLTIP[/h2]
We have inserted a tip text for all game options in the general section. Simply place the cursors on a
check box and the tip will appear on the bottom of the screen.


[h2]OTHER IMPROVEMENTS[/h2]
  • We have disabled another bunch of drawers, panels and, in general, interactive objects that do not contain or do anything useful. This helps the player in finding items and keys.
  • We have added a new document for helping the player in the final section
  • There are some items that continue to stay into the inventory even if they are not used any more. Now they are automatically destroyed when no more needed.

[h2]BUG FIXED[/h2]
  • All the doors haven't the collision on the top. If you launch a chair on top of a door it goes on the other side.
  • After Toscani discovers the cellar door has been broken If you run faster the the policeman and go in front of him he blocks and never walk (blocking the game).
  • Some objects appear again in the scene, even if you already have taken them and put them into inventory, after you load a saved game.
  • When possesion become high, sometimes, some doors become non-interactve and never returns to be playable, blocking the game.
  • Some items on high places can be taken even if you do not use the ladder.
  • Show indicators option doesn't work well
  • In the hospital, the demon that follows you until you reach the elevator, if he reach and enters the elevator, sometimes disappears and appears stuck on top of the elevator door.
  • other minor bugfixes

[h3]THIS TIME WE HAVE VERIFIED THAT THERE ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES THAT THE UPDATE COULD CAUSE CORRUPTION OF SOME OLD SAVED GAMES.
We apologize for this but the product is in an early access stage so, sometimes, this could happen. [/h3]

That's all for now.
Hoping you are enjoying the game.

Staqy tuned,

REDISTRIBUTABLES INSTALLATION

Hi to all,

Today I've made a small update to the HELLSEED Steam installation.
Every time you want to create the installation package of your game, Steam allows you to include some versions of redistributable libraries like Directx, OpenAL, Visual Studio, Physics.
They usually are already installed in your Operative System, but sometime it happens that versions used by the game aren't installed. This is why Steam let you to do this.

When published HELLSEED I completely ignored to include redistributables, this could have prevented the game execution for some of you.
Today I fixed this by including all redistributables necessary to launch the game.

I apologize for my forgetfulness.

Next regular update is on the way, stay tuned.

Have a good fun,
PROFENIX STUDIO
