Hello Puppies,

We are back with one of the most frequently requested adjustments to our official soundtrack on Steam! From now on, you can purchase the RUINER OST on Steam independently of the game. It means that our soundtrack is purchasable and downloadable even by users who don't own the base game. To find it, go to your "music" directory inside the Steam client installation folder, rather than into a subdirectory of your main app.

This adjustment is an extra change that was regularly suggested by our community. You can now use Steam Player to listen to your favourite songs from our OST. Here is how it looks:



Enjoy,
RUINERS

Hello Puppies,

Wow, time goes by fast! But, in a cyberpunk future, time can be very relative. Its pretty hard to believe that Puppy started his journey through the streets of Rengkok over two years ago.

Thats right! Today marks exactly two years since we released Ruiner! And, during these two amazing years, weve been continuously working to make Ruiner even better. Additionally, weve started development on our new title that we will reveal next year. But, before that happens, we've still got a couple of aces up our sleeve.

To celebrate Ruiners second anniversary, we have a little gift for you a special birthday outfit for Puppy! Download the latest update and celebrate his birthday with some juicy kills while wearing a sweet birthday cake on your head. After all, its 2093. Its called fashion.



All the best,
RUINERS

In the name of the whole Ruiner Team and the Turkish and Italian players, hats off and BIG THANKS to the translators, who did the work in their free time, out of sheer goodness of Their Hearts and the love for Ruiner.

Standing ovation goes to:

The Turkish group:

• added Steam Cloud support,
  
• fix cutscenes flickering,
  
• improve cutscenes’ quality (WIP)

Penguins and Puppies rejoice for RUINER Linux Beta is here!

Just switch to the “Linux” branch and download the game. Easy!
(Hard? Navigate to the game’s Properties -> Betas and choose the relevant branch.)
We’ve hidden a cosmetic feature in the game for you, so keep looking for the tiniest easter egg ever.

There’s a sliiight chance you may experience performance issues. If you do, please install proprietary video drivers (NVIDIA, Radeon) or Mesa.
In case of video-related issues, install VLC 3 and its dependencies.
Also, make sure that all your drivers are proprietary and up to date.


Now, if you prefer gamepads over keyboard and mouse, you’ll need ds4drv for Dualshock or xboxdrv for Xbox controllers. Get those!

It should be all sunshine and rainbows from here. But - if you encounter any bugs, crashes or anything else wrong with the game, please add a new thread on the RUINER Steam forum or email us directly at support@reikongames.com (please, write “[Linux]” at the beginning of the title).


And now check if you got to the lucky 13!

Puppy may not speak much, but he knows his Master’s voice.

Thanks to our awesome community, with the Annihilation Update you may play RUINER in Czech and Ukrainian. Today’s update builds on this achievement and brings further localization fixes. Both languages have been thoroughly polished - pun intended! But if you still find anything wrong - don’t worry and keep playing!

A big round of applause to:

- Jakub Kolarik and Jonas Kolarik for Czech localisation.

- SBT Localization team: Rostyslav Sulima, Oleksii Ivanov, Oleksandr Lukianov, Olha Kmelnytska, Oleksandr Moskalenko, Yurii Bisyk, Tetiana Cherednychok, Violetta Kozakova, Sofiia Shul for Ukrainian localisation.

To those of you who couldn’t switch off Halloween Mod: we removed it entirely, and now only Winter Mod is included in the game so there should be no more weird conflicts.

Take care,
RUINERS

Santa outfit now properly unlocks at the beginning of the game.

You can select it in the gameplay menu!

Welcome back Puppies,

To paraphrase a famous opening line, “the sky above Rengkok is the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” But to balance the overwhelming winter cybergloom, citizens have
adorned its streets with colourful lights.

Get into the spirit and join them in the cringy celebration of wintertime!

Just like the Halloween mod, Winter mod is also optional - you may turn it off and on in the Main Menu - and it will be available for a limited time, until 4th of January 2018.


What’s new?
Get ready for the cringe:

• Give your enemies some sweet sugary love by beating the crap out of them with one and two-handed candy canes (some of the skins are animated!).
  
• You also get to wear a Santa outfit, which you can choose in the Gameplay Settings. It’s optional but really ties the whole experience.
  
• Lootcrates have changed into presents! Kick them to get some karma.
  
• Humiliate TrafficKing even more by making him wear an elf’s hat.
  
• Creeps hate this time of the year, so they turned into Grinches.
  
• It’s snowing in Rengkok. And there are some colorful lights. Really picturesque.

We'd like to thank our amazing community for all your feedback, it helps us improve the game!

Here's what's new:

Hey Puppies,

Some of you experienced a bug with NG+ being disabled despite finishing the game. To fix that, you need to select Epilogue from Select Level and finish it once again. You'll probably only need to watch the last cutscene if you haven't wiped your progress by starting a New Game before. Unfortunately, we won't provide an official fix for that.

But we don't come empty-handed! There was a rare blocker when pressing the objective trigger didn't unlock the bike after talking to Mechanix. It's fixed now.

Moreover, we're working on the next big update aaaand... 21:9!

Take care,
RUINERS

Hey Puppies,

There are 9 new weapons available in New Game+ but as you've probably noticed already, there’s no info about them… They’re so fresh and rare that very few people have encountered them, let alone upload their description to the Database. But you... you know! You've already used them. You know what they can do!

Create a backstory for a weapon (or weapons) of your choice, describe how they work using about 5-6 sentences and send it to us at support@reikongames.com - we will read your descriptions and choose the best ones.

Just to remind you, those weapons are:

• EDGE
  
• INCISOR
  
• ARCBLADE
  
• PICKSCYTHE
  
• UZIK
  
• FLAK
  
• HEAVY PISTOL
  
• HYPERBLASTER
  
• SAWED-OFF TAS-6
