Long Term Progression Update - Beta Preview 2

We're excited to announce a new update for the Long-Term Progression Update Beta. Thanks to all the bugreports we received, we could identify and fix a lot of bugs relating to all parts of the game.

[h3]Changelist[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where enemy robots got stuck in a level and stopped doing anything
  
• Players don't accidentally clip into the ground after beating the final boss anymore
  
• The console to summon enemies in the homebase isn't flickering anymore, it was also adjusted to fit the height of the player better
  
• The last upgrade on the vending station now shows properly what it gives the player
  
• Updated the ProTubeVR plugin which caused issues with disconnecting the provolver device
  

If any other issue occurs to you while testing, feel free to tell us about it.
We would also appreciate it to get more feedback about the vending stations and the upgrades.
Do the upgrades feel rewarding? Are the costs for an upgrade acceptable?

Thanks a lot for helping to test the game and make it better for the final release.

Cheers,
Salmi Games

Hey everyone,

We are happy to announce that Sweet Surrender’s beta branch is now updated with a preview of our next major update - The Long-Term Progression Update. If you're interested in testing and giving feedback about it, feel free to try it out. Any feedback and bugreports are highly appreciated.

Here is a list of what you can expect in this new update.

• Upgrade the new Vending Station with the gears you can find in each levels and unlock more vending machines and better loot
  
• Improvements to the tutorial to make it easier for new players to start with the game
  
• Adjustments to the beginning of the game in the mines so that new players have it easier to get into the game
  
• Additional bugfixes like the issue where players became invincible when they died in the sewers because of the acid effect
  

Since this is only the beta preview of the update, everything is still subject to change. However it should still give you a good idea on what the final release will look like and you can already try out all the new features.

We look forward to your feedback!

We hope you’ll try out the new beta update and share your feedback with us. We are always happy to hear what our fans think and you can chat with us on our Salmi Games Discord Server: discord.gg/salmigames

Hello everyone,

We just released our latest patch, addressing a few issues introduced with the melee update.

The most important points that we worked on are:

• The Reaper class progress will no longer reset when using ranged weapons on subsequent runs (a few edge cases remained)
  
• Fixed a bug that would cause bullets to always ricochet back to the player when shooting shielded enemies
  
• Your progress in adventure mode will now no longer be deleted when you start a daily run
  
• Removed the destructible wall and explosive barrel from the elevator to the final boss
  
• Lowered the range at which bulky enemies start pushing you backwards
  
• Fixed some interactions between old chips and melee weapons
  
• Fixed an issue with the spider hive hologram in the homebase
  
• Added some improvements to the tutorial
  

We hope that these fixes address the issues that some of you encountered. As always, we are very thankful for any problems that you report to us, as it helps us out a lot in improving the game.
If you want to try out the beta and let us know what you think, you can join our Discord.

Thanks for your support,

Hey everyone,

The Steam Autumn Sale just launched and with it comes the return of the Steam Awards. Sweet Surrender hasn't been released this year, but we have released a variety of major updates ever since its release (and quite a few this year alone), so we think that Sweet Surrender is deserving of the Labor of Love award.

Melee Mayhem marks the 8th major update for Sweet Surrender and the fourth major update in 2022 alone, with our classes and weapons update in March, our homebase update in May and the sewer expansion in August. We want to continue to support Sweet Surrender with even more updates and hope that our existing track record makes us worthy of consideration for this award.



If you want to help us please consider nominating Sweet Surrender for the Steam Awards. We are thankful for every player that takes the time to vote.

Cheers,
Salmi Games
