Dear Revolutionaries:

Time flies, and it has been a year since Home Behind 2 launched on Steam in early access on January 22, 2021.

The Home Behind 2 v1.0 update is finally live today! We’d like to say thanks to our loyal players who accompanied us through the Early Access phase. Your feedback and support have been invaluable to us!

In the past journey, the game has undergone a total of 25+ updates. During this period, we added:

• 2 new modes
  
• Hell difficulty
  
• 15+ classes and NPCs
  
• 14+ random tactics and skill mechanics
  
• 22+ quests and events
  
• Multiple regional features
  

Over the past year, we have added new content, optimized in-game functions, and have further balanced the game’s core mechanics.

Thanks again to our longtime players who have provided us feedback and support during the Early Access. Home Behind 2 is a better game because all of you! We also welcome new players to the game and hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!

V1.0 is the end of Early Access, but it is not the end of Home Behind 2. We have announced the 2022 development roadmap, and we will work hard to optimize and improve the game based on your feedback.

The detailed update content of v1.0 is as follows:


[h3]Hidden Story[/h3]
Added a hidden story after finishing the game under Hard difficulty. The story is related to Home Behind and makes the story of Home Behind more complete.

[h3]Boss and related side quests[/h3]
Added a new Boss "Vulture" and related side tasks and stories. During the exploration process, players will randomly encounter the revolutionary army that was attacked by the Vulture and will finally face this formidable enemy.

Skills:

Peck
Deals damage to one enemy unit (fitness gap increases skill effectiveness), reduces enemy's fitness and accuracy and applies a jam effect

Rot
Deals damage to one enemy unit, reduces their fitness, applies a seize effect

Soar
Increases own fitness, speed, and dodge

[h3]New job and skill mechanics[/h3]
Added 3 new common jobs:
Machine Gunner:
Machine Gunners seek nothing more than the perfect gun. Seeing their enemies fall to their firepower is their greatest source of joy.
Skill:

Overheated Shot
Reduces own defense, greatly increases damage and crit damage

Rapid Shot
Increases own accuracy and crit rate

Water Cooling
Increases own speed and comes with a jam effect

Chemist:
Most of their knowledge is rooted in ancestral recipes and explosive outcomes from random experiments. Their products can often be... unpredictable.
Skill:

Chemical Spray
Deals continuous damage to all enemies and adds a random effect: jam/silence/stun/immunity

Rapid Healing

Continuously heals one allied unit and adds a random effect: immunity/invincible/mark/stun

Rage Injection
Heals and increases the morale of one allied unit with a random effect: invincible/undying/jam/silence

Engineer:
Instead of fighting their enemies head on, Engineers install a large number of hovering turrets and liquid nitrogen turrets to exhaust their targets.
Skill:

Superior Enhancement
Sacrifice own speed in exchange for Enhance Summon

Hover Turret
Sacrifice your own speed to summon a hover turret, which is mainly used for damage dealing

Nitrogen Turret
Sacrifice your own speed to summon a nitrogen turret, which can slow down the enemies and reduce their dodge

Added 3 skill mechanics. These mechanics have been added to the old and new jobs. The balance of some jobs has been adjusted.

Jam: Unable to use basic attacks
Random effect: The final effect of the skill is random
Enhance Summon: Enhance all the stats of what you summoned

[h3]Random tactics[/h3]
Added 5 new random tactics:

Witch's Brew
An occult potion derived from ancient Scarian legends said to have wonderful - but unpredictable - effects.
Thermal Imager
This high-tech device exposes the heat signatures of enemies behind or within a fortification.
Nitrogen Tank
High-pressured liquid nitrogen makes it difficult for enemies to move for a short time.
Rapid Preparation
Teammates bow their heads and begin preparing to force an advantage in the coming battle.
Disabling Smoke
Produces hot and humid smoke which renders enemy weapons unusable for a short time.


[h3]Optimizations and adjustments[/h3]
Adjusted the equipment drop rate. It is now easier to obtain high-quality weapons when playing the game on a higher difficulty.

Added a popup prompt when unlocking a job.

Fixed some text.

[h3]Compatibility[/h3]
The game is now available for Macs and can be played on macOS.

Removed third-party DRM verification. (We found that many players reported problems due to DRM verification procedures.)


[h3]About Workshop Support[/h3]
Since we didn't consider the Workshop in the initial stages of the game’s design, we need more time to consider how we can include the Workshop in our game. We will address the feasibility of adding Workshop support after launching v1.0.

Thank you again for your company and support over the past year!

Dear Revolutionaries:

It's been one year since the Early Access launch of Home Behind 2! On January 22, we ushered in the first anniversary of Home Behind 2 landing on Steam. We're very happy to share with you here—Home Behind 2 will transition from Early Access to ‘Released’ on February 16th!


Since the initial release, we have made continuous updates, adding new modes, classes, NPCs, tactics, skill mechanics, missions, and events to the game. As the game moves out of Early Access, we plan to raise the price of the game to $19.99 when v1.0 launches (February 16th).

We’d like to thank everyone for their suggestions and support during Early Access. Our game would not be as fun as it is today without your continued feedback and support!

The contents in v1.0 are ready and we are busy squashing any remaining bugs we find. You can expect the launch of v1.0 on February 16th. After the launch, we will continue improve the game based on your feedback. At the same time, we will advance our development plan according to the roadmap.

The Home Behind series will also be included in the upcoming 2022 Steam Lunar New Year Sale (from January 27th to February 3rd). During the sale, Home Behind 2 will be 25% off, and its predecessor Home Behind will enjoy a 70% discount. We will also offer a Home Behind and Home Behind 2 bundle at an extra 5% off. This is the last discount before the v1.0 launch, and it is also the best time for players who haven’t bought it yet!

Thanks again for all the love you’ve shown us! See you in v1.0!

FAQs Why is this discount the best time to get this game?

Due to restrictions on Steam, we can't offer a discount when we raise the price for the v1.0 launch. Therefore, we decided to offer a 25%off discount during the Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2022. The original Home Behind will be 70% off. We will also offer a Home Behind and Home Behind 2 bundle with at an extra 5% off. This is the best time to get the Home Behind series for those who haven’t bought it yet!

After the v1.0 launch, we can't offer a discount for 30 days due to Steam’s policies.

I've already purchased the game! What happens me?

Nothing at all! You will get a more polished experience in v1.0!

About Workshop Support

Since we didn't consider the Workshop in the initial stages of the game’s design, we need more time to consider how we can include the Workshop in our game, as well as redesign the underlying game architecture to support it. We will address the feasibility of adding Workshop support after launching v1.0.
