Hey everyone!

Can you believe it's been one whole year since Descenders launched on Steam? What a ride it has been... and as we come to the end of that ride, with the upcoming 1.0 Multiplayer launch, we wanted to look back over the last year with you.

Thanks again, all -- and have a 20% off sale on us! Click here to expand the image!

Hey all,

It's been a while since you've heard from us so we're here with a tiny Christmas special!
This special is a small update with a winter themed overworld and several winter themed unlockables.

With this small update we'd also like to tell you our plans for Descenders next year.
The full launch is getting closer each day and we wouldn't be RageSquid if we weren't planning to go out with a bang.

We're not spoiling everything but here are some BIG things:

• At the moment we're working very hard on the multiplayer and several modes that come with that.
  It may not be a surprise but playing Descenders with a group of friends is a blast!
  
  
  
  
• Rosie has also been working hard on several new environments which will also come with the full launch in some form.
  Some of these are really tough so if you want to nail these down you better get practicing.
  
  

Release wise it's too soon for us to set a date but you can expect an Q1 - early Q2 full release.
Don't worry though, we WILL do some multiplayer testing in between! EXCITING.

We wish you all a merry Christmas and happy holidays.

As always
Much love,

RageSquid and No More Robots

Happy Halloween!

Something we've been asked non-stop since the Early Access launch is if we could implement more tricks. Well, today is the day! We've worked on the animation system so that it can now handle tricks like No Handers, Supermans, Can Can, and others. While we were working on the animation system we updated bails and the character collision at the same time. Falling off your bike has never looked better.

For Xbox One players this update also includes the previous Steam update. (Replay system, Volcano Bonus level, and a new batch of unlockable items)

Changes:

• Tricks:
  - Holding Left Shoulder Button (or C on keyboard) and point the Right Stick (Arrow keys on keyboard) to one of the 8 directions will trigger one of the new tricks. Tricks only work while in-air.
  
• New Bonus level:
  - We've added a 5th bonus level. Each of the environments now has their own bonus level. It's the perfect place to play around with the new trick system, go find it!
  
• New unlocks:
  - Added several new items of all rarities to unlock. This includes some special Halloween items.
  
• Misc:
  -Character now has collision. Try not to bump your head on the Firewatched jump.
  -Bail system improved.
  -Advanced replay options (Steam only). Hit Start/Escape during a replay and enable the advanced settings from there. This enables keyframe and camera path controls.
  -Keybindings menu updated.
  -Several sound effects updated/added.
  -Shuffle music option. Currently the game has different music for each environment. Enabling the shuffle option in the audio settings mixes everything up.
  -Build crew persons added to the build crew selection/game over/loading screens.
  -Sponsor office leave team button moved so it isn't pressed accidentally as easy.
  -Bugfix (Xbox): Flow and Best Time leaderboards should work again.
  -Bugfix (Xbox): Friends/Global distinction on leaderboards fixed.
  -Bugfix (Xbox): Mph/Kmh distinction now added to the bonus objectives.
  -Bugfix (Xbox): On-screen keyboard doesn't cut off popups anymore.

Hey all,

Just a quick heads-up / warning.

With the new update it is very well possible that your replays will not work anymore. If you want to save them I would recommend recording them with some third party software.

We're looking forward to the new update, see you on Monday!
