The Year of Updates was great, and what better way to say farewell than a gift just in time for the holidays?
That's right, a nice little time saver for you power players out there. Happy Hacking!

Security protocols have tightened, and new algorithms have been implemented. You cannot beat the system, hacker. Coinciding with the Launchiversary of Proxy - Ultimate Hacker, HUNDREDS of new hacking grid combinations have been added, giving you far more security challenges to overcome!


... And so many more! Now go forth and do some damage.

You thought the Year of Updates was over? Well you thought wrong! It's the 1.1.0 update! No more smaller fraction numbers! This update adds multiple endings. Oh my! I can't get into spoilers,which is why the new achievements are hidden (oh yeah, there are new achievements), but here's a few hints: - Turn the tables on a certain job giver - Restore what was altered There's quite a few combinations out there. Can you find them all? Stay tuned. The Year of Updates has one more big change to go...

At least, Steam Trading Cards have arrived! There's tips in a few, and others have neato pictures. Neato is a technical term that is very, uh, technical. In any case, happy collecting!

Yep! This is going to be the Year of Updates. We're going to start with a small update bringing with it a few new options.

• Ability to adjust brightness/contrast in the options menu!
• New tutorial error message so you don't get stuck!
• Hacking grid will always load with the Start node in view, neato!
• More exclamation points!!!

Happy launchiversary! The mad scientist behind Proxy truly has gone mad this time. The problem with updating late-game content is the potential for spoilers, so there's some items that I can't share. You can't see them, but they're there! Let's get to the notes!

• Fixed a small bug in [REDACTED]
• Older saves with "Change Data" jobs will transfer over properly
• Fixed two problems with [REDACTED] (a different [REDACTED] though)
• Threw in an extra piece of content, because why not?
• Learned of a new optimization, HAD to implement it, despite the game not even needing it. I think I might have a problem.
• Oh right, text in the game will not be raycasted against

99.9% of you will have never even encountered this bug, but for the 0.1% of you out there, this one's for you. I can't say what it is because it would contain spoilers, just know that the fix is there and it loves you.

New graphics! New achievements! New graphics FOR achievements!

• Say hello to the new Start node! It will guide you on your hacking journey. Treat it well.
• The achievement to hack nodes now has a platinum level. So get going!
• Two hidden achievements have been added. Can you find them?
• The images for the achievements should no longer have the white border (transparency is hard, okay?)
• Some bug fixes, too! Imagine that.

Rejoice! New things! Let's get right to it, shall we?

• Eliminated the options popup dialog when you hit play
• Replaced with in-game options! (Check out the new menu by selecting the gear!)
• Do you not care for how Americans spell certain words? Prefer color to Color? Well start caring because there's a new language button on the title screen for UK* English!
• This opens up the door for all sorts of language translations. Post your requests in the forums!
• Updated the Alex AI.
• Most Useless But Most Proud of: A new zoom feature for the Network Map. It properly zooms in on the center of the screen and remembers your position. Took weeks to do!

What? New stuff? That's impossible, I don't believe it! Well believe it, fictional person, because here's a list of changes!

• New "Glossary" of terms! Check it out by clicking the "?" button in the upper right.
• Changed the hacking "trap" to block only the grid, allowing you to apply stop timers or even false alarms to skip it.
• To compensate for this ease of difficulty, the False Destination Locator has had its price greatly increased.
• Decreased the Job Deadlines a little bit; they were too long
• Corrected a typo, but I'm not going to tell you where.
• Added a faint icon to the background of external computers, what could it be?

Oh snap! Steamy Jimmy over on Youtube found a bug. A rather nasty one that you may not have even realized you encountered as well! Did you ever get caught for no reason? Well, there was a reason, but it wasn't a GOOD reason. That bug has been squished. Huzzah!

Hey everyone! I wanted to update you all on what's happening in the world of silly hacking. First off: thank you for playing! I actually mean that. It fills me with unbelievable happiness knowing that you are playing and enjoying my game. Second off: I have, unfortunately, had to take on a lot of contract jobs to make ends meet, and that doesn't leave me with a lot of time to work on Proxy. I'm sorry! I really do want to keep improving and adding features. I'd like to make Steam Cards at one point, and add more writing. I have also been looking into letting you make your own "hacking grids" but that process is going really slowly (due to the aforementioned end-meeting needs). Thanks again for all the kind words, encouragement, patience, and feedback. I really appreciate it.

It was a hard fought battle, but Proxy - Ultimate Hacker is now on Mac OSX, Linux, and Steam OS! I have set up special forums for each in case there are any platform-specific problems. Tell your friends that they can play now too!

Aw yeah! Lots of behind the scenes stuff but there's also a new program you can buy!

• Defrag Program - Clean up that messy hard drive!
• Steam checking - if there's a problem with Steam, Proxy will fail "gracefully!"
• Safer saving and loading - Something happen to your files? Proxy won't flip out!
• A new header for the "resolution" splash screen - neato!

Aw yeah! You all thought I forgot about you but it was a trick! A ploy to lull you into a false sense of security! o MASSIVE change to the calculation and escalation of job payments o Store item costs adjusted accordingly (check 'em out!) o All 'Rounder motherboard supports 4kbps modem o When a "sabotage" job expires and you technically completed it, you get paid o No one reads these o Time panel skipping down to 5 min o Console has shorter load times o New default proxy o Messing around with banking functions will trigger a trace o Bug fixes galore o Seriously I could just say whatever o Bug fixes and tweaks that would be spoilers so I won't say what they are o New achievement names o Surprise animation! Who can find it the fastest?

Some hidden things (no spoilers!) but those have been fixed, along with... o Some balancing tweaks! o Move arrows in the proxy screen (indicating that you can drag) o Move arrows in the hacking screen o No "loan payment" email without any loan o Unique computer achievements should be fixed (they will RUE the day!) o File copier should work properly for the various file types o Top right info "?" panel should contain all the right pictures o The network connection sound won't loop infinitely o Indicated in the tutorial that there's a slider in the "time skipping" panel o Changed "Decryptor" to "File Decryptor" to avoid confusion with the "Password Decryptor" in hacking items

More goodies, and this time, balancing! o The money isn't increasing at all with the higher difficulty levels o News items should show up faster o "Paste Account" didn't work, now it does o Skip time, tab out, tab back in: resume normally, as it should be o If you get traced, alt-f4 will no longer save you from the shame of defeat o Removed the cost additions on hacking items, buy as many as you like! o Changed the "?" info panel to have everything all the time o Fixed a shader, masks mess up your game, kids. You wouldn't think they would but they do. o Fixed the stats panel, it should behave from now on, if it knows what's good for it o More complicated jobs will yield higher rewards o Deleted a surprising amount of files that were sticking around, now Proxy requires less storage space, and less RAM. Huzzah!

You people are GOOD. Already finding bugs. Here's what's been fixed:

• "Days played" medal displays properly
• New "accessed emails" log when you open an email
• Copying certain programs to a server, deleting them from your hard drive, then RE copying them back to your hard drive (don't ask) will work properly now
• Game pauses when you use alt-tab
• Achievement: computers hacked is now: "unique" computers hacked
• You can upgrade proxies now, oops!
• Computer Annihilator's cost was halved

• Game Balance is still a constant battle against a fire-breathing dragon without a sword or even a horse
• A strange tutorial-only bug where you can quit, re-enter and can't complete it? (Baffled by this, just...just baffled. Befuddled, even)
• Certain sprites not displaying correctly (no wait, THIS one is befuddling)
