Minor update 8/18
[ 2024-08-19 03:17:20 CET ] [ Original post ]
- Fixes/improvements to reduce enemies teleporting directly on top of players
- Fix for enemies sometimes making the return trip to the bar between encounters
- Rework ghost dash physics, now much better at dashing through small barriers/obstacles and no longer gets stuck on cover objects
- Add a "ghost leech" passive that adds recovery when ghost dashing through enemies
- A rare loot barrel event has been added
- Added support for "-skipintro" commandline argument to always skip the intro cinematic on startup
January Update Is Here!
Checkpoint support for solo runs is finally here! Every return trip to the safe house creates a checkpoint which you can then use to resume at a later point. (community request)
Please let us know if you encounter any issues or inconsistencies when resuming checkpoints!
Instead of only showing whichever one you're focused on, both options in a duo loot chest are now visible at the same time. This makes it much easier to decide which to pick, especially in the heat of battle. (community request)
Items in the upgrade and weapon kiosks can now be locked. This allows you to save an option for your return trip if you don't have enough cash on hand to purchase it immediately. Note that locked items prevent another item from being offered in the shop so you're trading off the chance of a rare RNG drop if you're locking items. (community request)
Six new weapons have been added across multiple tiers for you to find or purchase in the weapon kiosk. One of the first weapons is mid-range rifle called the Dart Rifle which applies a small damage-over-time effect in addition to the normal hit damage. Another weapon that is fantastic for crowd control is the Sonic Grenade which will stun enemies in the detonation radius - very useful for those hordes of scraps or sticky exploders. Also be on the look out for the Defender, Easy Shot Rifle, Volunteer and Commando SMG.
AI have figured out how to open unlocked doors. Smarter every day! Improvements to how AI handle traversing down ledges - they should get hung-up far less often and make it down quicker on average. New changes with how different AI are populated through the levels to start adding more diversity in the encounters. Still very much a work in progress, expect to see more improvements here. Troopers with helmets now uniformly take less damage while the helmet is attached, but then take normal headshot damage afterwards. Knocking off a helmet will also provide a temporary armor break. Improved pathing updates for several AI but specifically for exploders so that they are more efficient in tracking their targets. Implemented a new method for tracking Windup's fight progression to resolve an issue with the teleporter sometimes not activating after picking up the juice tank. Fixed an issue with AI getting stuck to the player when melee attacking but getting knocked back (i.e. Nomad's bonk weapon will reliably knock back troopers and scraps).
New ghost dash and jump powers have been introduced into the basic pool. Ghost powers focus on enhanced mobility options, with ghost dash allowing you to pass through thin barriers and doors instantly for example. More ghost powers to come with future updates! Loot barrels now pop right away instead of having an awkward delay. Sometimes it's the small things. Shareable icons are hidden in various HUD elements if there's nobody to share with. Juice tanks now properly insert into the processor when playing in solo. Reduce min time for startup movies to play so that players can load into the game faster if loading completes before movies end by clicking to bypass them. Several improvements have been made to the base double jump along with a new animation plugged in. A new perk "Bloody Mess" is available for purchase in the kiosk. It significantly bumps up the blood and gibs, plus gives a small global damage boost. Added an option to suppress the Overdrive activation music has been added. (community request) Optimizations to Powerstation and Rubble to improve performance along with AI navigation. Moved the dead super objective in Downtown Zone B to the rooftops for a more balanced experience.

Experimental Build Notes (Updated 12/27)

The test branch has been updated with new changes planned for the next update, and is available via the "client_ptr" beta branch in Steam. As always please share any and all feedback on our official discord in #sv-feedback (sv-feedback) or in the forums. Note: This build is a development build which has additional debug information to help us track down any issues / crashes and the like. Performance will be degraded compared to the official public build. The progress made with the test branch will not carry over to the public build.

December Update Is Here!
We've created night-time Downtown and day-time Powerstation variants that will show up in the unlockable timelines.
We've made a slew of improvements to all flying AI to ensure they properly engage the players even if beyond their ideal combat range. They're also much better at avoiding staying too close (or especially over top of the player), while also staying closer to the eye level of the player. This should make them more challenging and engaging to battle for the short term while we continue to tinker on more improvements.
Backbone's damage immunity has been replaced with damage resistance so he can be minimally hurt with weapons/powers. Destroying the pustules is still the most effective method of taking him down quickly however! Additionally, Backbone's reinforcements are smarter about joining the battle wherever Backbone is rather than the original spawn zone.
Dash can now be activated right before landing from a jump or fall, which will allow players to cancel out any potential fall damage if timed correctly. Also, small double jump has been added for all players before getting a jump power, which should make it easier to clear low cover and activate the melee groundpound powers. Finally, new option has been added (found under gameplay options) to disable the auto-cover system if desired.
Multiple AI have additional logic and fallbacks to ensure that they do not become permanently stuck outside of valid playspace (including Windup). This should address any issues with Jarhead mission (and others) where sometimes all counted AI are not reliably engaging the players. Addressed a potential crash related to AI pathing as navigation geometry was being added/removed mid-session.

Experimental Build Note (Updated 12/14)
[ 2023-12-14 05:37:14 CET ] [ Original post ]
The upcoming update is now available via the "client_ptr" beta branch in Steam. We're making this build available ahead of the official release to gather more feedback on the changes and to help track down any major issues before pushing live. Please share any and all feedback on our official discord in #sv-feedback (sv-feedback) Note: This build is a development build which has additional debug information to help us track down any issues / crashes and the like. Performance will be degraded compared to the official public build. The progress made with the test branch will not carry over to the public build. Current changes:
- Added night-time downtown and day-time powerstation variants in the unlockable timelines
- Multiple AI have additional logic and fallbacks to ensure that they do not get permanently stuck outside of valid playspace (including Windup). Should address issues with Jarhead mission as well where sometimes all counted AI are not reliably engaging the players.
- Experiment with a small double jump for all players before getting a jump power.
- The dash melee attack will now trigger the basic version of any dash powers.
- Experiment with a "Quick Run" option that shortens the timelines to provide a faster session. Additional juice and credits are awarded after the first room to help compensate for the missing power-ups that would be available in a longer run. Only available for solo currently.
- Addressed a potential crash related to AI pathing as navigatable geometry was being added/removed mid-session.
- Improvements to all flying AI movement selection to ensure they properly engage the players even if beyond their ideal combat range, and avoid picking any points too close (or especially over top of the player). They are also more likely to stay closer within the eye level of the player instead of occassionally picking high points in the sky. (note: All flying AI is long overdue for an over-haul, and will be something to tackle in future updates.)
- Fixed exploders not handling repeated movement failures correctly. They will now detect when unable to reach the player and will trigger the fallbacks to "unstick" themselves.
- Experiment with allowing dash activation when about to land from a jump/fall, which will allow players to cancel out any potential fall damage if timed correctly.

Steam Deck Compatibility Update
[ 2023-07-19 22:32:08 CET ] [ Original post ]
Superior: Vengeance Steam Deck compatibility is currently pending official review by Valve, but while we wait to get our fancy check mark, we wanted to let Steam Deck players know now what they should expect if they want to play Superior: Vengeance on the Deck.
Steam Deck/controller icons: We have integrated Steam Deck and controller icons within the game, ensuring a cohesive and intuitive gaming experience.
Seamless functionality: Superior: Vengeance has been optimized to ensure that all functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration. Youll be able to dive right into the action without any hassle.
On screen keyboard support: When joining a lobby, you can easily enter text by manually invoking the on-screen keyboard.
Optimal performance: Superior: Vengeance runs at a resolution supported by the Steam Deck, ensuring crisp visuals and smooth gameplay. The default graphics configuration has been fine-tuned to perform well on the device.
Legible interface: All in-game interface text has been carefully designed to be legible on the Steam Decks screen, so you wont need to squint or strain your eyes to read important information.
Initial setup and gameplay: An active internet connection is required for the initial setup and for all gameplay modes.
Future improvements: We are committed to delivering the best experience possible both on and off the Steam Deck. Were continually looking at ways to improve performance so you shouldnt be surprised to see additional improvements in the near future.
Head in a Jar Update
A C-list Superior needs more juice to fuel his psychic powers and he's picked you to get it for him! Can you survive the onslaught?
Get amped! Revolt is feeling the spark after some rebalancing. This fight is more electrifying than ever!

The Mega Melee & More Update
Previously, we had been very strict about when players got certain powers, leading to somewhat stagnant builds over multiple runs. With this update, we are setting ourselves up for more build diversity by changing when we offer powers and tweaking existing ones.
Melee was always intended to be a primary pillar of Superiors combat system, but it felt lacking compared to power and gunplay. This update aims to increase the depth of the melee system as well as make it a first class feature that benefits all characters.
Gig Rerolls can now be randomly obtained when completing regular runs. Gig Rerolls can be used to replace your current daily gigs, whether they are completed or not, giving you new targets to chase after for your next run!
The early levels of the characters are super important to introducing players to the world of Superior. However, we felt that the early game skill trees didnt offer new players enough ways to get over some early hurdles. With that in mind, the trees were rearranged and organized to offer more exciting decisions throughout the whole tree, giving players more build options from start to finish.
Ronin is VERY fun, but his Overshield mechanics make him a little too powerful of a force to be reckoned with. Moving forward, Ronin will be getting tweaks to bring his survivability and damage more inline with Nomad and Murmur. The first change for this involves tweaking Kinetic Energy.
Nomad is dear to our hearts, but her skill tree decisions sometimes felt very lacking. Self-Revives offer a unique avenue for survivability, but by the final boss of a run she was often able to have more than she knew what to do with. With this update, we want to make her builds feel more intentional and give Nomad mains a more even experience over the course of the run.
[ 2023-02-06 21:54:18 CET ] [ Original post ]
We have a HUGE update for you today, so lets get right to business!

Characters & Skills
General
The early levels of the characters are super important to introducing players to the world of Superior. However, we felt that the early game skill trees didnt offer new players enough ways to get over some early hurdles. With that in mind, the trees were rearranged and organized to offer more exciting decisions throughout the whole tree, giving players more build options from start to finish.
- New Generic Skill: Self-Reliant - Start the run with 1 Self-Revive. Requires character Overdrive skill.
- New Generic Skill: Luck of the Draw - Start every run with 3 store Rerolls. Works with the Juice Injector, Weapon Depot, and Upgrade Station in the bar. Requires Booster Lottery skill.

- Booster skills (such as Black Market Perks) are moved earlier in the tree and are optional.
- Reduced the lag when unlocking skills.
- The player can now right click a skill to refund a single skill point from that skill.
Ronin
Ronin is VERY fun, but his Overshield mechanics make him a little too powerful of a force to be reckoned with. Moving forward, Ronin will be getting tweaks to bring his survivability and damage more inline with Nomad and Murmur. The first change for this involves tweaking Kinetic Energy.

Nomad
Nomad is dear to our hearts, but her skill tree decisions sometimes felt very lacking. Self-Revives offer a unique avenue for survivability, but by the final boss of a run she was often able to have more than she knew what to do with. With this update, we want to make her builds feel more intentional and give Nomad mains a more even experience over the course of the run.

- New skill: One in the Chamber - Crits have a 50/75/100% chance to add +1 ammo to your active weapons magazine.

- Changed Personal Pharmacy to Whenever you use a self revives, there is a 10/20/25% chance that it is not consumed.

- Increased Critical Damage I crit bonus from 5/10/15% to 10/20/30%.
