First of all, I would like to thank everybody who has helped with translating 8-Bit Commando and the rest of the 2dengine games. The project has been a success with thousands of contributions provided by nearly a hundred translators. In order to help the project advance, 2dengine will be providing some additional features to translators. You can now change under what alias or nickname you would like to be credited. Note that it may take several weeks until the game credits are synced and pushed onto Steam. Also, please be advised that the press often treats game credits as public information. Additionally, you now have the option to delete your account and remove all contributions. [url=https://2dengine.com/translate/?r=1&c=en-es]

With the help of some cool new technology you can now play 8-Bit Commando in your browser. This is a great way to check out what the game is about and doesn't require installation. [url=https://2dengine.com/commando]
Also, thanks to improvements in our distribution technology, the Steam version of 8-Bit Commando is now smaller and loads even faster. Don't be fooled by the mixed reviews, we've been improving and supporting this game for a long time and it certainly deserves move LVE!

Greeting, Commandos. Over the last few days, we have updated 8-Bit Commando to work with the latest version of Steamworks v1.51. This will ensure that the game and its multiplayer features will continue to work properly in the future. Please update your Steam client if you have any trouble running the game.
Thank you for the support, 2dengine

Replays Fix and SKULLMASTER'S ARENA Greetings Commandos, Just pushed an update that will make the game much more robust. Prior to this update, the game used the player's resolution to keep objects on the screen. It turns out that we can't use that method reliably in multiplayer mode. Unfortunately this will probably break some older "replays" from the Workshop.
Please support us and check out our new game called SKULLMASTER'S ARENA: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1230160

SKULLMASTER'S ARENA GIVEAWAY

This is an experimental update increasing the speed of the game by 20% in NORMAL and 40% in HARD mode. Note that HARD mode unlocks once you complete the game and can be changed from the options screen.

Greetings Commandos 8-Bit Commando uses the Steam Workshop to record and store replays which are uploaded after completing any mission. Recent updates to the game feature several improvements to the replay system. Replays can now be reviewed and downloaded in-game by going to Hiscore > Replay. Additionally, we have introduced playtime tracking so you can see which replays have been watched the most. This is an awesome way to showcase your top speedruns.
Thanks for reading and please show your support by checking out our latest game Super Chains: https://store.steampowered.com/app/968300 Happy holidays, 2dengine

Our Chinese, Korean & Japanese friends can finally enjoy the game in their native language! Special thanks to Jether and dollppin for all of their hard work! If you speak another language, you can help us too by going to this page. Cheers!

It's official - the online multiplayer beta is up and running! You can start up a multiplayer session by choosing Online from the title screen.
Next, pick your favorite game mode (coop/versus/arcade) and invite somebody. Make sure you are signed into Steam chat to see which of your friends are playing too.
Lastly, there are a few things that you can do to improve your online experience: - Play with friends who live nearby, preferably on the same continent. - Plug into a wired connection or at least try to stay close to your wireless router. - Close any open applications or background services connected to the internet. - Turn off other devices connected to your home network or WIFI. If you are having trouble please get in touch and remember to enable automatic updates for both your Steam client and the game. Thanks for reading and much LVE!

Reports are coming in of a strange sea creature spotted near the docks in 8-Bit Commando. Several witnesses have identified this creature as Dopefish. Be advised that Dopefish is a notoriously elusive beast and only appears when playing on "hard" difficulty.
Dopefish lives... but it's your job to hunt him down. Show him no mercy if you want that sweet, ultra-rate achievement cred. Thanks for reading and much LVE, 2dengine PS. Huge thanks to Merlin for his Slovakian translation. If you speak another language, you can help us out by going to: https://2dengine.com/translate/?r=1&c=en,es

Greetings commandos, Over the last few weeks, we have been updating the game quietly and improving things all around.

Better weapons

Fixed replay issues

Improved controls

Greetings folks, This is going to be a fairly technical update addressing some of the existing bugs and issues with the game. One of the biggest issues with the replay system is that it's based on deterministic input so anytime we push an update that affects the gameplay it may possibly break some of the older replays. This is due to the butterfly effect where a small change could lead to significantly different result over time. I have added a validation step that checks if the replay is good upon download. Additionally, there was a bug where your replay could be lost when uploading a worse score on the leaderboards. This should be resolved after today's update too.
Thanks for reading and check out our new title Super Chains! https://store.steampowered.com/app/968300/Super_Chains

Greetings Commandos, We are celebrating the game's eight anniversary with another cool update! The hiscore replay system has just been patched. There were some issues where the game would fail to upload and download replays, but I'm happy to announce that it is working properly now! You can watch the replays in three easy steps:
1. Go to the hiscore screen 2. Find a hiscore entry with a flashing star next to it 3. Click on the star to download and watch the replay Please note that only your best entry for each mission is stored! This means that you have to beat your previous score in order to have the replay uploaded. Thanks for reading, 2dengine

Greetings Commandos, Another exciting update is here! Thanks to the Steam Workshop you can now replay hiscore entries submitted by other players. That's right, all hiscore entries are now considered User-Generated Content! Look for the blinking star icon to replay any hiscore entry submitted after May 10, 2019.
Also, the game is now fully compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. Additionally, we've fixed several other minor bugs, ensuring the game runs well on older machines. Thanks for reading and have a nice day, 2dengine

Greetings Commandos! Just pushed another cool update to the game, and here is the rundown:

Force feedback

Automatic error reporting

Greetings Commandos, As always we try to be as transparent as possible about our games. It should be noted that 8-Bit Commando's price has been modified this was necessary because of an issue with the Steam pricing matrix and its effect on coupon drops. To make a long story short, we had to increase the price a little bit which varies depending on where you live. Either way, here are some other games we have worked on: https://store.steampowered.com/app/456000 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1017470 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1017570 And of course if you really want to support us, check out the Powered by 2dengine bundle:

* The boss fights are now harder and more exciting
Thanks for reading and much LÖVE! 2dengine

Greetings Commandos, As you may know, it's becoming increasingly difficult to develop games as an indie business. Given the current economic recession, the alarming number of asset flips and the devaluation of Doge coin, we have no other alternative, but to include in-game advertising. I know... I know a lot of people are not going to be happy about this. After much consideration, 2dengine has decided to partner strictly with legit, top-tier advertisers so there is no need for concern.
Special thanks to our sponsors, Silly-Conman-Echo Productions and check out their new title Goo Chungus 174. This promising sequel is not planned for a Steam release, but should be coming next week to torrents (in Croatia). So definitely keep an eye out for that!
Also, check out 8-Bit Commando's new minigame, called Bird Hunt! This little gem is inspired by Duck Hunt and unlocks after you complete every mission in the game's story mode. Leaderboards are included too!
This update is brought to you by DPS: “Digihom Postool Service, the undisputed #1 leader when it comes to the business of #2!”

Greetings Commandos, we've got another update coming your way!

Thank you for taking a look and much love!

Greetings, Commandos! Are you ready for the ultimate retro gaming experience? We're talking classic run-and-gun action without tutorials, health-bars and no hand holding.
Think you can handle the one-hit deaths and brutal timer counting down the seconds before nuclear disaster...
Hard mode unlocks once you complete the game and gives you exclusive access to a new set of leaderboards.
Kick off the new year like it's 1987! Simply turn up the in-game video filters and you'll feel as if you are playing on an authentic CRT television. Happy new year from 2DEngine!

Greetings Commandos, Word is in from HQ and the reviews don't look too positive. Dang it, even after operations “Revamped” and “Versus” those ungrateful SOB's are still whining! Alright, here is the plan: We're sending you back to boot camp for a few weeks, so you should be able to move faster out there. Don't ask what I had to do, but look: I got you these special full metal jacket slugs. Just don't get too wild, since these puppies can practically eat through concrete.
...and don't expect that your mission will be any easier! Intelligence reports that the enemy is getting smarter and is building new fortifications. Damn right, you can expect 30% more content in the endgame. So go ahead, try the demo and buy the 2Dengine bundle. What's the matter, Steam's got you lifting too many controllers? General – out http://store.steampowered.com/app/456000/

Greetings, Commandos Another patch is out, fixing a few things and introducing the game in new languages. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/app/287860/]
The controls have been improved. You can now disable specific controllers – a feature requested by several players. Also, the “Virtual Gamepad” should be available for anybody who prefers to play using a touchscreen. This is still an experimental feature and we hope to receive more feedback about it by the community. Also, there was an issue of the game failing to save custom gamepad mappings – this should be fixed and working properly as of today.
Huge thanks and shout-outs to the following people who have translated 8-Bit Commando in 13 different languages: KingBork [V]es[L]o dollppin DickDailyRX Juiner condor HugoBDesigner & JAX BOY MadByte Roland Yonaba & Kevin Lovetere Human Spider & HeavyBullet Riccardo Bianconi The game is still open for translations so please submit your corrections or translations at: http://2dengine.com/translate/?r=1 Thanks again to everybody who has contributed and keep on being awesome!
