CELEBRATING THE 2-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HELLPOINT!
Hellpoint was released exactly two years ago. What a journey it has been for our team here at Cradle Games! There have been good times and we've obviously had some really tough times, but it is a journey that will forever be in our hearts. The journey that clearly would not mean much without all of you, hellspawns. Last week, we decided to start the celebration of this occasion with the "Tell your story" contest. Many great tales were shared, but we had to choose only one. It was not easy, yet here we are, announcing that one Triumphant Hellspawn.
[quote][quote]"I had been scoffed at by the Ministry for voicing my will to commune with the Undisturbed Defas Nemundis. To them, I was little more than a prideful underling born from a bio-capsule. A whelp, with no chance of surviving an encounter with a Cosmic God. Perhaps, to an extent, they were right. Beneath my suit and Preterhuman exoskeleton, I was still just flesh and blood. Nonetheless, I wouldn't give up my aspiration to become so much more... I eventually convinced that court of dogmatic charlatans to open the door to the Undisturbed's chamber. I entered without fear, confronting the immense, otherworldly being with firm resolve. The plasma torch of my Heater Spear flared to life as I charged forward, landing a decisive first blow on the entity. I dodged out of the way of a sweeping counterattack, keeping my distance as the Undisturbed slowly floated forward. The heavy impacts of my spear worked well enough against its corporeal manifestation, but the weapon I relied on the most lay in my other hand. The Artillery OTX prototype proved its worth in this fight, laying waste to the Undisturbed with its azure volleys of radioactive plasma. Perhaps, in the realm it originated from, the Cosmic God would have been immune to such trifling energies, but here, in the corporeal world, radiation burned through its form just as quickly as any other unnatural beast I had come across. But the Undisturbed was no pushover. Far from it. Neither the heat of the Ashen Born, nor the demented antics of the Master of Puppets, could compare to the threat posed by this entity. The bulk of my weapons and exoskeleton hampered my agility, making it easy for the entity to land hits when my greediness got the better of me. My cybernetic armor offered little protection as its violent projections ripped through me at the atomic level, boiling my insides with a rapid accumulation of radioactive particles. As the damage grew more intense, I threw out clouds of nanobots to keep my body intact. Those steadfast little machines had saved me plenty of times before, but even they struggled to heal the festering wounds I was suffering. Our battle dragged on, and my resilience was put to the ultimate test. Our bodies seethed with neutron emissions as radiation rapidly sapped away our strength, and soon enough, my ability to heal had run dry. A distressing click from my cannon indicated I had run out of energy, too, leaving me with hardly any options against my foe. The Undisturbed hovered before me stoically, unabated by the radiation coursing through its form. I dared not risk another close-range strike. I wouldn't survive another hit, myself! Luckily, at that moment, fate chose to intervene. The defeat of the Undisturbed Defas Nemundis came not from a final blow, but the simple and unwavering effects of the debilitating energies I had built up in it. The Cosmic God assumed a meditative pose as its body disintegrated, returning to the reality from whence it came. I stumbled towards the nearby Breach as it opened, healing myself just as the grip of death had nearly closed around me. My cells were still roiling with radiation, but I would now survive long enough to recover from it. A wealth of otherworldly knowledge poured into my mind, joining that which I had already gleaned from the other two Cosmic Gods. The voice of the Author echoed in my mind one last time, cutting its connection as the "corruption" of the data I had gathered grew too great. I chuckled at this, finding it rather ironic that such an immensely-powerful machine could not grasp the nature of the knowledge I had accumulated. Perhaps it was finally time to meet my maker... The Order of the Prying Eye was right. AI would take its rightful place as God, and I would gladly assist it. For I knew there would be no greater pleasure than slaying a God of my own design."

[/quote][/quote] Congratulations, MONAD! We have contacted you to award the prizedigital versions of Hellpoint and Blue Sun DLC (one (1) of each) for the platform of your choosing. We also decided to award MONAD with an extra prize: a USB key and a poster signed by our team.
Here are some honorable mentions: [quote]"The Great Pvp Tournament, and the Infamous Goku Fights We Had to Suffer Through Times were tough, we had people trying to participate in the tournament from multiple time zones, but somehow, this beam spamming, shield using turtle of death, was always there. Always. Without hesitation, he would be there just to ruin our day. And it was great. Those of us who had a better understanding of the game suddenly turned it into a game to beat this "goku" guy (it wasn't his name but we kept calling him that for his constant beam attacks). Suddenly, all of the tournament participants started to 'awaken' and it became a casual bashing of this random player. Did he ruin the tournament at times? Oh most definitely. But because of him, that tournament became special. It no longer was just a random meet and beat, now it had a story. It had a purpose. It had a journey. To kill this one person, as a group. And sometimes one of the mods would join in forgetting to shave (if you know, you know). 10/10 memory of this game and would definitely do it again. (exclude me from the prize distribution, I already have both the game and the dlc)" HPBlackHoleArgenteus, Discord[/quote][quote]"A good story: I had a long day at work, it was a cloudy day. People were looking to just punish me for saying anything so I tried to just do body language all day (a node or a disapproval). I could not wait to escape reality to only jump into a reality full of void and absolute order. The AI was being extra careful with my attacks oddly enough this day. So I had to buckle down on my skills. I ended up fighting Mr. Many Hands and I had to hand it to him: he was EVERYTHING and more of annoyance of a boss. I would get stun locked by the mini's, I would attack and he was low life about to kill him but he luckily jumped back and clutched and killed me. I finally took a small break to reflect on the day. Started to think how similar the boss was to BONGO BONGO from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". I watched a video of the fight: it got me all hyped up to try and beat the handsome boss (pun intended). Clearly the dev was a fan of zelda and so was I. It was time my ladies and gents to slay this grew some dark spider jumpy hand boss. I ended up using the demon staff weapon and started to stun lock him with the power at certain moves. I ended up getting way ahead of the boss in damage. I started to sweat profusely, my hands started trembling, my butt-cheeks clenched on the final swing. I had won! The hand had lost to my hands skill of game play so I decided to see if any other games had hand or feet bosses. I started to scour the Internet to find other feel or hand boss or any body part enlarged. I started to draw hands and feet on my walls. I started freakishly take pictures of my feet and hands and over-enlarge them at photo labs at nearby printing stores and putting them everywhere! The mall, police station, corner stores, hospitals, etc. I began to get a cult following that would do the same. We started to dress up as hands and feet and jump around at work and other public places till people recognized us. We became top 10 on FBI most wanted organized crime group. But then I woke up and realized it had all been a dream. I passed out on my keyboard with drool all over. My face was all sweaty and the image burn had ruined my LCD screen. Then I logged back into the game and jumped into that dark hole just to see if I had dreamed that I beat the boss. Sure enough... HE WAS THERE JUMPING AROUND, he did not even attack me he just taunted me. JUMP JUMP DOUBLE JUMP. The little ones created a jump rope and a new game had been set. The boss started rapping and jumping and I just could not take it anymore. Uninstalled the game sat on my couch thinking of what I could of been had I beat the boss... We will never know if I will ever be able to HANDle him again." HPBlackHoleMr. D, Steam[/quote][quote]"My Personal Story With Hellpoint and Its Dissection Hellpoint is a game that has revolutionized my perception of what it means to be a Souls-like and helped me realize why I love the Soulsborne series so much. To understand why Hellpoint stands out, we must first understand what it means to be "Souls-like". "Souls-like" is not just about dodge rolling nor stamina management nor big grandeur boss fights or Metroidvania level designs, it is about all of them combined. Most players after finishing Dark Souls wish to forget and be able to experience it again. It is one of the main reasons why the fans are so eager to jump into another Soulsborne game even though they may seem identical to the previous. Many Souls-like games have tried to recapture this spark but only very few succeed. it excels at world designs and level designs. With a sprawling interconnected world that spreads out like a cobweb, Hellpoint presents the player with many choices to approach the game which gives a great range of replayability. Irid Novo is no ordinary space station either, it is a derelict vessel that was taken over by cosmic gods, all the while orbiting a black hole. The interesting premise contributes to helping to motivate you to explore and discover the story further. It's a giant puzzle that once put together can never be experienced the same again. Hellpoint's ability to capture this aspect is what makes it the best Souls-like there is currently." Rhyen, Discord | Read the full story here[/quote][quote]"Well, the night before I got to the final boss I had Taco Bell's Cantina Crispy Chicken Deluxe Box. It's a medium sized box of Taco Bells iconic Cantina Crispy Chicken Tacos with a side and a drink. The Taco Bell Employee who prepared my meal must have not properly washed the chicken before assembling the tacos, and rushed through the cooking process because my Taco Bell Cantina Crispy Chicken wasn't really crispy as promised (but that's okay because I love Taco Bell as a restaurant) and the meat was a tiny bit pink but I've had chicken that was slightly pink before and was okay. Either way, the next morning I fired up Hellpoint and was fighting the final boss. As you know, because you made the game, the final boss is a real puckering event, and the stress caused me to spray the back wall of my basement with Taco Bell's Cantina Crispy Chicken Deluxe as if I was a pressure washer. Beat the boss though." HPBlackHoleJimmy the Neck, Steam[/quote][quote]"When I was first getting into this game I was struggling a bit. Despite having familiarity with souls like games and getting how to play generalistically, I struggled with how weapon scaling worked and how to properly beef myself up to take on the threats I was encountering. Hitting a wall with some bosses, I turned to the community for advice. I was blown away by how fantastic this community is. Not only did people offer to help me out with getting through tough areas and co oping bosses, but they also gave advice on how weapon upgrading works and how to handle getting stronger. But the biggest one, the one that sticks out to me to this day, is the guy who not only helped me with some bosses, but also went so far as to help show me how to recognize illusionary walls and took me on a long platforming trip to the secret area where devs put their names and some funny quips along with some really good upgrade materials. I never would have found this on my own for sure and I'm so grateful to have such an amazing community to go to with this game and to help get new people into it. Best experience I've ever had with a souls like game." HPBlackHoleEainix, Discord[/quote] For our team, it was a great pleasure to read through your stories, Hellspawns. It was captivating, inspiring and, above all, very, very heartwarming . [hr][/hr] Ever since we launched our Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, the community of Hellpoint has been steadily growing, welcoming fans from all over the globe. We can confidently say that our title has established itself as a cult classic among hardcore action/RPG fans.
[hr][/hr] On July 12th, we released the long-awaited Blue Sun DLC. It expanded the Hellpoint universe with a new story, three huge locations, gear and bosses to fight.

The winner is: MONAD. Here is their captivating and extremely well-written story about an encounter with Undisturbed Defas Nemundis:

Halloween Special event is live, Hellspawns!
All Hell-ows' Eve is upon us, and we are celebrating this terrifying season by bringing you...
[previewyoutube=W7wz0xTrgB4;full][/previewyoutube]
The enemies now have special sound effects and are dressed to kill! Or be killed rather.
Slain enemies drop Nihl Bonboncandies that can be used to obtain limited time in-game items* (listed below). To do this, interact with the mysterious UFO that landed at the end of the Archology bridge. Drop chance: 10%. *IMPORTANT: You have to own a specific base armor set or a specific weapon in order to upgrade it to the Halloween version. Your base weapon or armor piece is replaced by the Halloween version; weapon level is reset.
Your Omnicube is now just an unidentified flying object.
A spooky version of the Hellpoint theme that you can listen to using your Omnicube.
:: Patch v360 ::

Lore: Fun Facts You (Most Probably) Didn't Know
Spending generations in space has had a dramatic effect on the constitution of the human body. Lack of sunlight made the skin paler and the pupil much larger. Inevitable loss of hair created a thriving wig industry on far away space stations.
Having two thumbs on each hand enhances the capabilities in different fields of human activity including the most ancient: combat.
The suit that the spawn is wearing was issued for pioneers and settlers that needed long periods of autonomy. It regulates body temperature, grants additional strength with nanomotors and handles nutrition and water recycling.
All vegetation on Irid Novo has been artificially engineered to thrive under very unnatural conditions. You can see the synthetic design if you look closely. It requires no sunlight and is still able to filter the air and grow by itself, assuming it is being maintained regularly, which hasn't happened in a while

Online Multiplayer is Live!
After the weekend of hard work, we managed to get rid of our backend's nastiest bottlenecks. Happy to report that our servers look stable, the online multiplayer is functional once again, and everyone is welcome to try it out! How to join a multiplayer match: For the host: 1. Press T (Options button if you play with controller) while in-game. In the menu that appears, select the Online tab (Z, X to navigate). 2. Find the 8-digit match code. 3. Share it with another player. For the second player: 1. Press T (Options button if you play with controller) while in-game. In the menu that appears, select the Online tab (Z, X to navigate). 2. Select Enter match. 3. Enter the 8-digit match code (Up, Down to navigate). 4. State your intentions (co-op or PvP). In Hellpoint, online multiplayer is P2P and as of now it may be getting blocked by firewalls and VPNs. Also, naturally it does not go well long distances (USA - EU connection attempts, for instance). If issues occur (e.g. unability to connect to other people via a match code or a wall "hand" invite), please report them to us and they will be dealt with. The next hotfix is already on its way. Possible temporary solutions would be:

Hellpoint comes out tomorrow at 4:00 pm UTC / 9 am PT on Steam and 1:00 pm UTC / 6:00 am PT on consoles, so we couldn't be more excited. Along with the release we are bringing you the launch trailer. Set reminders so that you don't miss it: https://youtu.be/lmwwolrQmuE -------------------- With the review embargo lifted, impressions from the press started to come in earlier today. We are getting some great feedback! Here are the notes for what probably is going to be our final update before the release. Lots of outstanding performance and online functionality issues have been addressed. We will make sure that your experience is as good as possible. Online functionality fixes - Made combat more fluid for the client by reverting the control of some events back to the client, instead of waiting for the host to process them - Improved input processing: previously input may fail because of possible state differences, now we force a state change, so the attacks would always be synchronized. Performance fixes - Performance during the Horde event with lots of spawning enemies is now stable - FPS drops in many locations have been fixed - Some crashes and freezes have been addressed Also: - Added missing audio in 2 of the Interface cinematic - Fixed a number of movers not being replicated online in Palace and Alma - Fixed unlock door when coming out of the Building by the main entrance - Fixed 2 blueprint using raw resources instead of processed ones - Added message to the save game picking menu when it's empty (explaining to create a second save for split screen) - Fixed some "boxiness" on some fonts - Optimized weapon trails - Fixed Data counter being stuck on screen in some specific events - Optimized enemy damage calculation (enemy stats are always 1 internally) - Removed constant tenacity regeneration. Now only regen when it's not at max. - Boss breaches are now hidden when in the underworld (prevent teleporting around) - Healing station regen healing charges at a cost - Added choice of input icons when using unknown controller - Added choice of speaker modes (stereo, quad, surround, 5.1, 7.1) - Optimization in large scale FX, including the Artillery explosion - Optimization in turning on and off FX at a distance - Enemies no longer update their environmental status when "normal" - Boss can no longer "lose aggro" on a player. - Fixed a Twitch Websocket closure issue. - Fixed a PRB decal issue with the smoothness channel - Fixed an issue with room controller having both visual and enemy spawner in the same context - Fixed an issue where the Pet entry code would fail to reset - Added a "!what" command to Twitch chatbot - Fixed an issue where a client would spawn without air - Made the background of the message creation UI darker to see the icons better Thank you for your support and patience, community!

Online functionality fixes - Made combat more fluid for the client by reverting the control of some events back to the client, instead of waiting for the host to process them - Improved input processing: previously input may fail because of possible state differences, now we force a state change, so the attacks would always be synchronized. Performance fixes - Performance during the Horde event with lots of spawning enemies is now stable - FPS drops in many locations have been fixed - Some crashes and freezes have been addressed Also: - Added missing audio in 2 of the Interface cinematic - Fixed a number of movers not being replicated online in Palace and Alma - Fixed unlock door when coming out of the Building by the main entrance - Fixed 2 blueprint using raw resources instead of processed ones - Added message to the save game picking menu when it's empty (explaining to create a second save for split screen) - Fixed some "boxiness" on some fonts - Optimized weapon trails - Fixed Data counter being stuck on screen in some specific events - Optimized enemy damage calculation (enemy stats are always 1 internally) - Removed constant tenacity regeneration. Now only regen when it's not at max. - Boss breaches are now hidden when in the underworld (prevent teleporting around) - Healing station regen healing charges at a cost - Added choice of input icons when using unknown controller - Added choice of speaker modes (stereo, quad, surround, 5.1, 7.1) - Optimization in large scale FX, including the Artillery explosion - Optimization in turning on and off FX at a distance - Enemies no longer update their environmental status when "normal" - Boss can no longer "lose aggro" on a player. - Fixed a Twitch Websocket closure issue. - Fixed a PRB decal issue with the smoothness channel - Fixed an issue with room controller having both visual and enemy spawner in the same context - Fixed an issue where the Pet entry code would fail to reset - Added a "!what" command to Twitch chatbot - Fixed an issue where a client would spawn without air - Made the background of the message creation UI darker to see the icons better Thank you for your support and patience, community!
See you tomorrow!

An announcement regarding the Nintendo Switch version
We at Cradle Games along with our partners at tinyBuild have to inform you that the release of Hellpoint on Nintendo Switch wont happen on July 30 along with the other platforms - we are postponing it to some point later in the year. Our goal is to make the Switch port as high quality as possible, and polishing it to the desired state will require more time. We do not want to take a risk of releasing a product that we and you, our players, might not be satisfied with. As you all know, adapting a game of Hellpoint's size and complexity for Nintendo Switch is pretty challenging, especially for a small team such as ours, and especially under the current circumstances. With the omission of split-screen multiplayer, the Switch version will be completely on par with Xbox One and PS4 versions. Our biggest remaining challenge right now is fully implementing the online multiplayer and making sure everything works as intended. That said, Nintendo Switch release date of Hellpoint has been pushed from July 30, 2020 to some point later in 2020. Please follow us for future updates. Windows, Linux, Mac, PS4 and Xbox One versions are to come out as planned on July 30, one week from now! We have been experiencing a great amount of interest from the gaming communities around the world, and that is truly amazing. Thank you so much for your support and for your incredible patience! Yours truly, The crew at

Introducing: Monsters
Individuals who were particularly inclined to submit to fear and suffering were selected by the Daemons to connect with pure agony and inflict it unto others. After the Merge, the twisted bodies of the Tool Victims were held up and transpierced at multiple locations with occult receivers, a crown of anguish perpetually soldered to their head. Like kings of nothing, they roam the hallways of Irid Novo, ready to channel the power of their master in an unsettling spasmodic episode and expulse flaming projectiles of rage on any passerby that remotely inspires hope.
The main designer of Irid Novos architecture style, Yael Unstiga Nevor, secretly held an admiration for the classical culture trends that seemed to reoccur cyclically every time humanity entered a flourishing period of its history. Certainly, he was not allowed to demonstrate this in the pure Brutalist style of his greatest work, but with subtility here and there a touch of the cultures of old could be noticed by the knowing eye. The design of the Sentinel of the Embassy greatly impressed his superiors, their arresting stature imposing authority and their majestic knightly inspiration reminiscent of the era of honor. The soft cloth helm it wears sucked into their face evokes soulless anonymity and the suffocating sense of wasted creativity resented by its creator. It was never supposed to activate into duty, but the events of the Merge brought them in action and even corrupted their nature in various ways. Dozens of Sentinels now patrol the halls of Irid Novos most prestigious building, not particularly cognizant of the threat that they face or the people they should protect.
Daemons are the side product of suffering, cursed by God to eternally remind souls of the consequences of their ignorance. They incarnate both the source and the sink of torment, reveling in the fire that scorches the nerves and pushes life in motion. Their thirst is endless though, and like shepherds they lead their flock and cull the herd, the burnt skin of their back sliced and stretched, nailed to a broken altar of omega. It is up to every man to fend off Daemons that clings to existence and feed on pain, fear and despair.

:: "There is someone behind the corner. Something. The walls around you are callous. "You are on your own", they whisper as the wave of pure, distilled terror bathes you, accompanied by the vomitous stench of decomposing flesh. The hilt is cold to your palm. The space is cold." ::
Irid Novo station once was one of the most advanced space frontiers of human civilization. But after the Merge decimated the universe as we know it, the only living things that are left aboard it are rotting husks of human beings, wandering around in pain and angry despair.
In Hellpoint, you will encounter nearly two dozens of unique enemy types, some of which will have several level-based variations, one deadlier than the other. Let's have a peek at some of these malevolent creatures you will face on April 16.
The King of Nothing
Individuals who were particularly inclined to submit to fear and suffering were selected by the Daemons to connect with pure agony and inflict it unto others. After the Merge, the twisted bodies of the Tool Victims were held up and transpierced at multiple locations with occult receivers, a crown of anguish perpetually soldered to their head. Like kings of nothing, they roam the hallways of Irid Novo, ready to channel the power of their master in an unsettling spasmodic episode and expulse flaming projectiles of rage on any passerby that remotely inspires hope.
The Guardian of the Forlorn Keep
The main designer of Irid Novos architecture style, Yael Unstiga Nevor, secretly held an admiration for the classical culture trends that seemed to reoccur cyclically every time humanity entered a flourishing period of its history. Certainly, he was not allowed to demonstrate this in the pure Brutalist style of his greatest work, but with subtility here and there a touch of the cultures of old could be noticed by the knowing eye.

Dozens of Sentinels now patrol the halls of Irid Novos most prestigious building, not particularly cognizant of the threat that they face or the people they should protect.
The Worshipper of the Oldest Truth
Daemons are the side product of suffering, cursed by God to eternally remind souls of the consequences of their ignorance. They incarnate both the source and the sink of torment, reveling in the fire that scorches the nerves and pushes life in motion. Their thirst is endless though, and like shepherds they lead their flock and cull the herd, the burnt skin of their back sliced and stretched, nailed to a broken altar of omega.

Introducing: Levels
[ 2020-03-17 22:21:16 CET ] [ Original post ]
:: "The space is silent. So much that it causes anguish. The silenceash-grey, relentlesscrawls within you, hurts you, eats your synthetic skull from the inside. There is only deafening pain, and the heartbeat, and your footsteps, and the rare echoes of something massive moving. Something inconceivable, among the mountains of concrete and steel." ::
Irid Novo, an abandoned space station you will be trapped on in Hellpoint, is massive. 14 huge interconnected levels await to be explored, each with its own distinctive visual features, unique monsters, and various puzzles to solve. Each level is hundreds of meters wide and some of the levels are hundreds of meters tall, reaching the height compared to that of the Eiffel tower. Let's have a look at just a few of them.
In the Pond, human passengers that were arriving at Irid Novo, the frontier of mankind's science, were being separated from their bodies and then put back together after interstellar travels.
---
This is where it all begins. The Irid Novo AI, the Author, uses a 3D body printer to create the Spawn whose role you take.
This area is a "warm" welcome to the dark and twisted sci-fi universe, with narrow corridors, secret passages, and malevolent creatures lurking behind almost every corner. You will have to learn how to find your way around the station, heal, and use your weapons.
The Observatory is a multi-purpose amphitheater, used for scientific congregations that would end with the masses entering trance all over the Irid Novo station, unaware of the willpower they were relinquishing to the soon-to-arrive cosmic gods. It was also used for mind control conferences, occult modern art performances and attuning musical symphonies.
---
The Observatory is one giant open area that will serve as your safe haven. Here you will be able to, among other things, craft and dismantle weapons and upgrade your healing method.
You will encounter no enemies here, except for the level itself. Taming the deadly verticality will let you uncover secrets and be generously rewarded.
For many years, Port Issoudun remained the most active space port of the Irid Novo station. Hundreds of ships and tankers would dock here to land passengers or offload resources. All of the port systems were entirely automated. Like carefully constructed clocks, self-programmed bots zoomed around the environment in straight lines to bring items and transits to their destinations. From the main terminal, various highways lead to other parts of the station.
After the Merge ended the Universe as we know it, the port was ravaged by the hordes of monsters intending to capture the whole station. Issoudun has long since been resting in ruins: dead, cut off from power and cleared from any human activity. The most unfortunate humans remain active as Merge Victims, roaming in the area in eternal fear and confusion, assaulting anyone in sight. Some of the automated bots still function, faithful to their original orders.
---
Port Issoudun is featured in the playable sequel chapter to Hellpoint, The Thespian Feast. This area, dimly lit, is enclosed for the most part and features less deadly platforming yet more enemies and mini-bosses wandering its claustrophobic corridors.
Before the Merge, the Arcology was a mega-colony built inside the space station to accommodate 118 000 inhabitants that came along for the voyage. This was definitely one of the most prestigious places to live back then, with thousands of advanced homes and buildings dashing across the stars at speeds faster than light. It was one of the greatest centers of thought exchanges and hard work, and definitely a place to go looking for a good time. The Arcology was built to be entirely self-sufficient and space efficient, seamlessly merging the utility, public and residential systems while fully utilizing 3D space to a sometimes very dense degree. This resulted in a great flow and interweaving of the construction of shapes and districts.
Thus, the Merge made this place the biggest sudden cemetery on Irid Novo. However, not many cadavers remain, as the Parasites and the Daemonium promptly grabbed the bodies and carried them to their lairs to consume the flesh, furthering their own interests. The remaining survivors were taken by insanity and each met their particular end. Their stories can be read in blood sprayed all over this area.
---
With a lot of open spaces, the Arcology offers a solid challenge in battling several foes, both ranged and melee, at once. The huge funicular connects this district with other sections of Irid Novo.
Hellpoint, a dark sci-fi action/RPG, will be released on April 16. Wishlist and follow it for the latest development news:

Introducing: Irid Novo
[ 2020-01-30 22:28:39 CET ] [ Original post ]
"Irid Novo is a success. The faith you vested in us will soon be rewarded as you take your rightful place in the new world"
You find yourself on a gigantic advanced space colony only to discover that you are the only being left. Only sane being, to be precise. Colony is crawling with hostile abominations driven by one instinct: to hurt. What is going on?
"They called us insane. They called us evil. But to end the suffering in this world, a bold vision was required."
A few decades ago, human race and the Arisen civilization formed the First Interstellar Alliance. With wars being a thing of the past, this enterprise was to discover the secrets to the greatest mystery of the Universe: a soul. Humans possessed the technology to travel through parallel universes, the Arisen were highly advanced in the field of artificial intelligence. By sharing their respective knowledge on a meeting groundIrid Novo space stationthey expected to create an artificial soul, a conscious AI, bringing forth the most advanced technology of them all.
However, it didnt work as planned.
Many theories are floating: technological error, sabotage, even divine intervention. Yet the real cause remains unknown. What is the true secret of Irid Novo?
We must leave it to the Gods, lest the Gods leave us.
Station AI, The Authority, is still on a mission to complete the soul creating experiment. Left to its fate by man, it has developed a plan of its own. Yes, Spawn, we are talking about you.
Hellpoint, a dark sci-fi action/RPG, will be released in the near future. Wishlist it now:

Introducing: Main character
[ 2019-12-10 19:28:27 CET ] [ Original post ]
"It seeps into the void. Conquers it, ignites. Suddenly, zero becomes one. Black turns red, matter becomes life. A universe is born in anguish, in fear. A child: gasping, struggling, cold. Clean."
You are a Spawn: a 3D-printed organism, an artificial human being. You were granted a life, yet not a consciousness, by your creators. With a blank mind, you venture through Irid Novo, an ancient asteroid mining facility turned into a space station, seeking answers. Why are you here? What is your purpose?
"Your hand reaches. Time dehisces, unfolding an incomprehensible chasm. The wound that bleeds space dust. Maimed cosmos laments silently, writhing in agony."
In Hellpoint, breaches are tears in the very fabric of time and space that interconnect parallel universes. When your Spawn stabilizes them, it allows you to level up, travel between breaches, consume gathered resources, alter enemy difficulty / loot grade and save your progress. Upon demise, you respawn at the latest breach you connected to.
Your blood runs cold. Your hand is bound to cleanse. Under the rain of gore and guts, you dancea child in time, a soldier in space.
Irid Novo is crawling with horrid hostile abominations that used to be humans. To push forward, Spawn has no other choice other than to put them away. By mastering your basic combat abilities like swordplay, shooting, dodging and blocking, you will be able to defeat tougher foes.
What are you? An experiment that went awry? Gods forgotten toy lost in the wreck? Or a perfect organism?
Slain enemies emit axions that can be spent to upgrade your character. There are 8 different skills to level up: from health to overall strength to foresight. As you master your skills, your Spawn will gain greater stats, such as damage, radiation resistance and energy reserve which is used for ranged weapons.
Hellpoint, a dark sci-fi ARPG, will be released in Q1 2020. Wishlist it now:

About Patch Notes
[ 2018-11-29 22:22:27 CET ] [ Original post ]
You may have noticed patch notes showing up here about "Beta 0.XX", and you may wonder why. After all, the game isn't available in early access or for pre-order, and there isn't any public beta available. We sold keys for the alpha and beta stage of Hellpoint development in our Kickstarter back in Summer 2017. For a while after that, between our Kickstarter and the release of the Alpha keys, we continued to sell those keys on our website. As soon as the alpha keys were distributed, we removed the purchasing function off our website, so people wouldn't get the wrong idea; such as paying for a key while having only a couple days of alpha testing remaining. Unlike other public beta where the game is about to be released a few weeks later, this is a real beta, where the game is in the middle of being produced. Our current timetable is to have the game released in July 2019, so we have a lot of work left ahead of us. The game currently has lot of bugs, missing content and features, and thats normal. For this reason, we handle beta keys on a case-by-case, making sure people purchasing a key understand the state of the game and how their feedback are crucial in shaping how the final product will be. Feedback received a few weeks before release wont impact the game, its too late. Feedback received now are incredibly important as they can change a lot of things. We ask people with beta keys to be active with us on our Discord and help us make a great game. If you would like to get onboard with the beta and help us shape Hellpoint send us an email at admin@cradlegames.com

Hellpoint is a dark sci fi action RPG set in the aftermath of a massive quantum cataclysm. Every living being quickly lost their mind as their memories and bodies were merged with alternate versions of themselves from parallel universes. The accident also attracted entities of immense power that should have been left alone, in the depth of other dimensions.
You play as a mysterious nameless character whose intentions are entirely determined by your choices. You wake up in the derelict Irid Novo space station, in orbit around a super-massive black hole.
![]()
In the game, the space station orbits in real time around the ominous black hole. Its position in the sky directly impacts the sanity of the inhabitants of the station. The singularity is doing more than simply distorting the fabric of space and time; based on the time of the orbit, enemies in the levels get crazier or struck by fear, unknown entities roam the corridors and dozens of other mysterious events can occur.
![]()
Hellpoint is based on a peculiar structure called the Quantic System. It is a series of interconnected systems that are utilizing a server clock to decide when and where a particular dynamic event should occur. You can see a preview of that system in our demo linked below. You venture in a corridor that you previously walked through, and suddenly a new passage is opened. A tall menacing mini-boss is now patrolling where there was no one before. Enemies cower in fear as you approach them, or charge you in a fit of rage. A boss suddenly grows tougher and more aggressive, but also drops more valuable loot. It is up to you to figure out what events happen where and when so that you can exploit them to your advantage.
In Hellpoint, the Black Hole is truly the master of the dungeon.

Irid Novo was once a shining beacon of intergalactic collaboration, built to research advanced artificial intelligence and quantum mechanics. Now, it is a dark and dangerous place dominated by the will of the cosmic gods. It is best to explore Irid Novo with the help of a friend.
![]()
Hellpoint supports splitscreen co-op and player versus player on all platforms. You can play the whole game with a friend, or have him jump up in and out anytime he likes. The loot is shared, and the experience of player two is saved and not watered down. In our youth, we've had countless nights of couch gaming fun, playing with friends and siblings until the sun rose. With Hellpoint, we want to bring back couch gaming into a genre that we think cruelly lacks it.

For centuries, the galaxy has been at peace. With the discovery of interstellar travel and the access to infinite resources that ensued, brutal wars are now a thing of the past. To survive the wrath of cosmic gods and hordes of monsters, you will have to find ancient blueprints and craft long forgotten weapons and armors and acquire forbidden powers. You play the way you want, will it be a sword and a shield, or a firearm and your mastery over the cosmic energies?

Hellpoint allows you to play the way you want. Using our crafting and customization system, you can adjust your weapons and powers according to your own play style. Do you prefer your healing power to heal more over time or instantaneously? Go edit your power in one of the crafting station, and make it work the way you like. Would you prefer your energy missiles to explode on impact, or to ricochet off enemies? The choice is yours to modify them as you see fit.
The more you fight with a weapon, the more proficient you become with it and eventually you unlock powerful abilities. This can go from an extra long range combo attack to a shattering explosion that sends enemies flying.

A terrible quantum cataclysm happened on board Irid Novo and is spreading to the whole multiverse. Piercing the very fabric of space to reach parallel universes is not something mortals should be allowed to play with. However, those breaches into other universes could very well be the key for you to make things right...
Every time you start a new game, the station is different. Rooms, enemies, puzzles, events, all are parts of the multiverse. This means that while our level design is carefully hand crafted, no two games are exactly the same. The game stay fresh as you never know what to except around the corner. As you die, you are pulled away from your universe of origin, and you wake up into the next. The more you die, the more the world changes around you.
