Happy new year everyone!

It's been a while since our last update so we wanted to let you know what we've been up to lately and what are our plans for the future.

- Underhero Art Book:

That's right, we made a book that collects all the concept art and design for Underhero, it has more than 70 pages of sketches, designs, unseen art and more!

We are currently running a give-away for the book on our twitter, head over there for a chance to win a key for the book and the game!

It's also available for purchase on these sites: Itchio Gumroad

- Underhero Soundtrack:

You may have noticed that the soundtrack is not yet available on Steam, we did all we could to have everything ready for launch but because of complications with the publisher of the Underhero Soundtrack we haven't been able to offer it here on Steam. We are still trying to resolve this issue and we want nothing more than to have it available as soon as possible, but for now the soundtrack is also available on these other sites: Bandcamp iTunes Spotify Google Play Amazon

- Game updates:

We are extremely aware of the current bugs and problems with the game's current build, we haven't stopped working and improving the game ever since it was released. But because we started working on this game on 2013, we have been using an older version of the Unity engine which has caused a lot of compatibility issues. So we decided this past November to upgrade the game to the latest version of Unity 2018. This was not an easy task, porting the game has come with it's fair share of problems, but we believe this will help us improve the game for the better. We are on the testing and debugging phases so we plan to release the new update in the upcoming months, please bear with us while we work on it!

- Console ports:

The other big reason for the Unity 2018 update is that it was necessary if we wanted to port the game to all the current game consoles, unfortunately we have nothing to announce at the moment, but we are definitely working towards this goal! I believe that's it for now, thanks for reading and if you have any questions let us know below or chat with us on our official Discord server.
