Fury Unleashed News

Hello everyone!

It has been some time since the last update; we understand that for some of our fans, it might felt like an eternity. Some of us had a short break to catch a breath after years of development of Fury Unleashed and return to you with new ideas and energy to implement them.

We've also been steadily working on adding the foundations for Online Co-op mode, and it will come in a later update. For that reason, we've been implementing a Save & Quit feature, which is now almost complete, but we've wanted to test and polish it a bit more before the public release. We're also changing the version naming (1.0.4 > 1.5) with the aim of unifying the numbering with the other (console) versions of the game. Sorry for the potential confusion!

Still, we didn't want you to wait any longer, so here's a slew of fixes, upgrades, and additions to the game - enjoy!


Some of you were asking us for a way to increase the readability of the game, especially on smaller screens or being far from the TV. Thanks to your feedback, there's now a new slider in the options menu. It lets you decide on the size of the in-game font as well as of selected interface elements. Grab your favorite brand of tea, cover yourself with a blanket, and unleash your fury from the comfort of your sofa, without the added strain on your eyes.




That might not blow your mind but will blow those of your buddies on the Steam Friends List. Now, everyone can see which part of the comic-book universe are you in at a current moment, and why are you fighting those aliens without them. Tell them not to worry, as Steam Remote Play works as intended, and online co-op will come when ready!


We want the game to be fun for everyone, and not feel too long or too short for anyone, so we keep our fingers on the pulse. Some tactics like stacking lots of armors were a bit overpowered, so we're tweaking them, as well as making adjustments to the leveling curve, for the game to feel more rewarding and less grindy.

• Starting weapons are now better, faster, stronger.
  
• Environmental traps are slower on the first comic-book page.
  
• Armors are weakened by having fewer defense points. Toss a coin to your armorer~
  
• Bosses now have less HP across the board. Less bullet-spongy, same unhealthy-deadly.
  
• More black ink drops from basic enemies, but less for elite, bosses, and from item trades.
  
• Less ink from the combo multiplier. You're still awarded more of it, but not in an unhealthy way.

• New skin colors to choose from for both of the default Fury models.
  
• SteelSeries GameSense support added to make your life more colorful.
  
• Improvements and corrections to some of the game's language versions.

• One of the challenges from the Death NPC will no longer occasionally crash the game.
  
• Descriptions of enchants on weapons should now properly fit the text panel in every language.
  
• Additional preventions against being locked outside rooms hosting a Sketch Chaos Invasion event.
  
• The Bat enemy no longer makes ears bleed with how loud it screeches. It screams in pain quietly.
  
• Other, minor stuff, we've fixed along the way.

As a bonus, we'd like to let you know that we're taking part in this year's PAX Online x EGX event! Our participation consists of not only having a [virtual booth] but also providing everyone with a demo version on Steam. You are welcomed to [try the game for free] if you like - Steam's demo will be available until September 20.




As usual, we wouldn't be here if not for our awesome community and its feedback. Thank you, everyone, for all the bugs you've reported, and the woes you've shared, and that cake you sent us some time ago. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive it, but we truly believe it wasn't a lie.

Stay tuned to more by following us on our social media (links below), and chat with us and the rest of the community on [Steam Forums] & [Awesome Discord server].

Stay unleashed!

Hi everyone!

It was just a week ago that we've released Fury Unleashed. We've already pushed out a small hotfix for the game, but time's flying fast, and we show no signs of stopping!

Today's patch won't be a big one for everyone, but for some of you - definitely.


We're expanding the range of our localization versions with these three new languages. These language options were planned for the full release at first but didn't make it in time, so we've decided to polish them a bit more and release later. We hope that now even more of our friends from countries like Portugal, Brasil, South Korea, and Japan can enjoy Fury Unleashed to its fullest!


We've pushed some urgent fixes and improvements for the game, which includes, but is not limited to:

• In co-op, if both players use controllers, the second gamepad's bindings can be configured independently from the first one.
  
• Some keyboard detection problems were fixed, both for the single-player and for the second player in co-op mode.
  
• Killing 3 enemies with a cluster grenade won't trigger the "Nice one" achievement anymore. It's still a nice one, though.
  
• A fix for the Fury's skin color being reset when switching skins. Wait... what?

That might not be the biggest update yet, but we didn't want you to wait for some of those changes, and especially for the new language versions! Don't forget to join the discussion on both the [Steam Forums] and on our [Discord server].

Stay awesome!

In the meantime, we've pushed a small update for 1.0. Nothing to write home about, but be sure that we will do our best to fix any and all problems you might have come upon while playing the game, both on Steam and the console versions!

• Mimics no longer spawn from inappropriate item portals. Ninja Master mimic isn't Real, it can't hurt you... at least not anymore!
  
• Fixes for the Twitch/Mixer connection system. Also, it now properly disconnects too, sorry about that!
  
• Stream item portals will spawn items of all rarities. You don't need to worry about too many legendaries now ; )

Welcome, everyone!

The time has finally come, and after 5 years of work, we're finally releasing the full version of our labor of love, which is Fury Unleashed. Thank you all for your support over the span of the 3 years-long Early Access period! Both the positive comments and constructive feedback were of irreplaceable help.

But that's it; we're finally here! So, let's jump straight into the good stuff:


The surprise final chapter, we've been working on for around a year now, is finally ready to be played! Explore the mysterious world contained inside the series author's sketchbook. Enjoy the different gameplay than before, with a new way of traversing the level. Many additional difficulties are awaiting those brave enough to face the most unfriendly environment yet. In fact, it's so unfriendly, that at times, you might happen to get stuck in it for a little while (wink, wink). Don't give up your hope, though, as you are very close to becoming THE hero of this hand-drawn universe.


As a streamer, you are now able to link the game with your favorite service and allow players to vote for what rewards are you getting from in-game portals. There are also additional challenges waiting for those brave enough to put their comic-book life at the stake of violence-hungry viewers! There are also some streaming parameters to be adjusted in the configuration menu, in the game's options.

There is also a new option, that we found could prove helpful to streamers; music can be toggled to stay on while the focus is no longer on the game's window. This option is toggled off by default, but when enabled, our OST can now be used as background music on streams... or while cleaning your room?


There are three new skins available. Each of them is unlocked by finishing the game on appropriate difficulty mode. I wonder, how many of you will smile upon seeing the reward for the successful Legendary run :)


Speaking of Legendary; there are new achievements available, related both to the new content, as well as additional skill-based ones, for all of the hardcore players to prove they ain't softcore! So, what will you do this fine evening - get a combo of 500, or finish the game on a single combo streak? Decisions, decisions.


Collectors, rejoice! There are now trading cards, waiting to be dropped by spending some quality time with Fury Unleashed. There is a total of 9 cards, the same number of backgrounds, 5 emoticons, and all those sweet levels of profile badge to get! Don't forget to tell us which one's your favorite!


We are constantly busy with fixing potential problems, enhancing the experience, and adding balance and QoL changes. Here's today's batch of those:

• We've found full auto-aim option on gamepads to be a little too powerful at times, so we've limited it to Easy mode. Three other versions of aim-assist are still available on every mode.
  
• New sounds and fixes to mastering issues. Lots of them in fact, both for enemies and male/female versions of Fury. Some screams are simply to die for!
  
• Exploding barrels and "friendly" grenade boxes now have a new prompt, informing players of additional ways of interaction; barrels can be thrown at enemies, grenade boxes can be broken for bonus ink.
  
• Small improvements to the tutorial level, both graphically, and in level structure. Feel free to once again learn the ropes of obliterating your foes, if you want to!
  
• Other minor bug fixes and QoL changes. Don't worry, we've made the game better for you to play, so simply jump right into it and have fun! :)

Remember, that we are always happy to receive new feedback from our players, and in case of any technical issues, we'll do our best to help you in fixing them. Join us on [Steam Forums] or our [Discord server] to chat about the game and tell us how awesome it is to cut a skeleton in half... vertically.

Stay awesome!

Welcome!

As you probably already know, the full release is happening in two days, on May 8.

But, before the major update to the game, we've wanted to quickly give you info about some smaller fixes, as well as bring one of our old promises to its fulfillment:


Rejoice, users of other systems, as no longer will you be forced to emulate the Fury experience using tools and boot camps. Native Linux and MacOS support is here, and users of those operating systems can download the game straight from their Steam Libraries.

We'd love to hear back from you on how are those builds of game faring, and if there are any problems, we'll try to fix them ASAP! We've tried our best to check if everything is working as intended under those environments, but if we've missed something, and Fury suddenly sported a second pair of hands on that one Linux distribution you happen to use, let us know!


But before that, there are some additional bugfixes in both this and previously undescribed hotfix. Those are mainly focused on the game's stability, like in-game lags and audio problems, as well as random freezes which should all be hopefully fixed now. Some rare problems like bad spawn locations on bosses and animation errors on the second player in co-op were also fixed. Also, more sounds were added, and some audio mastering issues were fixed.

We're making sure things are as polished, as possible in the small timeframe we've got left before the big update on release. So... fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the final episode of Fury's adventure! Also, once again, thank you all for all the support you've given us in the Early Access period.

Prepare to unleash your fury, and stick with us on our social media (links below) and [Discord server]!

Stay awesome!
