Devlog #06: The Testing Grounds and Wrapping up 2022.



Hey Hellsweepers!

Hope you had a great Christmas fest! There might have been a blizzard out there, but hell remains as hot as ever.

This month, we're diving behind-the-scenes for you all. Have you ever wondered how and where we test all your awesome suggestions for HellsweeperVR? From new animations, VFX and moves, all the behind-the-scenes magic happens in our "office".

We want to make sure everything is working as intended...



...though sometimes we appreciate a little goofiness over the course of testing.



[h3]So did you notice anything new? [/h3]



As 2022 comes to a close, we want to look back at the various devlogs we have put out. From the Axe, to the Hook-Mace to Making Magic, we can't wait to show everyone our last bit of previews before our 2023 Quarter 2 release.



None of these would have been possible without the ever-growing support from our community. We are thankful for everyone's input and most importantly, their patience. We hope to deliver the best possible Hellsweeping experience soon!


Want more Hellsweeper VR updates? We are active on Twitter, Discord and on the Steam Forums. We also have a Reddit where you can discuss and share your thoughts.

If you're excited to wreak havoc in Hell, don't forget to wish list Hellsweeper. It means a lot to us and we are always happy to hear from you!

Important News Regarding the Release of Hellsweeper VR

Dear Hellsweepers,

We have made the very difficult decision to postpone Hellsweeper VR’s release to Q2 2023 to give our team sufficient time to deliver a game that meets our vision.

While we have been working very hard towards originally releasing the game in Q4 2022, we want to be able to give more to Hellsweeper VR and the community cheering behind it whose support has been a huge part of what inspires us to power through.

Our team is hell-bent on delivering a robust and solid roguelike VR experience with many maps, enemy types, customizable skills bolstered by a huge selection of traits, and more. Putting all these elements together harmoniously requires multiple rounds of polish from balancing to optimization, and this is what we will be focusing on in the next few months.

We believe we have a great game on our hands and are willing to make every decision, even the hard ones, if this ultimately leads to delivering a much better experience.

We will continue to showcase our progress through our regular devlogs and sneak peeks on Discord or Twitter to keep you all in the loop. As always, we welcome your feedback, suggestions and questions.

We thank the community who’s been with us through this journey. We remain committed to delivering a VR game that we hope will be worthy of your patience and continued support.

Crafted with Love,
The Mixed Realms Team

Devlog #05: You're a Wizard, Sweeper. Master Elemental Magic!



Hey Hellsweepers!

It's a new month: means we have new content to show! This October, prepare your inner wizard: We are showcasing elemental combat and all of its glory.

[h3]Watch our full devlog here: [/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

From Fire, Frost, and Volt, you can use these on their own or mix and match to your desire. Each combination of elements give you different effects.

  • You can use elements as it is. The effect differs based on the angle of your hand and the level it is on.
  • They also differ based on the traits selected. For instance, fire can push you off the ground if you have the Phoenix trait equipped.
  • Combine elements! Ever thought a Fire ball wasn't enough? Well, smash it with a Frost Ball and you get something completely different!
  • Magic can be infused into any weapon of your choice: Fire arrows, Frost bullets, Volt axe...anything goes!
  • Infusing your bare fists with an element and then conjuring another ball also paves way to some...exciting combinations. ;)




As shown in our previous Devlogs, all elements can be infused with your weapons. They go in tandem with all of them so go wild!

[h3]Let us know which of these elements appeal to you the most. Blazing Fire, Furious Frost, Electric Volt or crazy combinations like the Lazer? [/h3]



We have officially joined the twitterverse last month! Follow @HellsweeperVR to get the latest and hottest news about Hellsweeper.

Devlog #04: Guns, guns and GUNS!

Hello Hellsweepers!



Hope you're ready to load up, because this month we're showcasing an entire line up of guns ready for you to fire away!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]



Guns have different effects based on the way it is held, from armor breaking bullets to ricocheting shots. They can also be modded and upgraded in the Shop as you progress through your runs! Like all weapons, they can become elemental and can be infused with magic.






Any one gun you are looking forward to bringing with you in Hell? Or are you still favoring a more...hands on approach ;)?

Devlog #03: Unarmed and Dangerous



Hello Hellsweepers!

It has been awhile, but we are back! Hope you are ready to toss away those weapons, because we're going to be showing you the potential of your very own fists.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

While unarmed, you can build up the strength of your fisticuffs by continuously engaging in melee combat. You will eventually be able to send them flying with a single punch.





You can also infuse your hands with elements and utilize magic to its full potential. We will be touching more on elemental combat later on, so keep your eyes peeled ;)





Are you excited to become an elemental, fist firing Monk? We'd love to hear your thoughts!
