[ 2025-03-01 05:50:14 CET ] [ Original post ]

Machines, it has been awhile indeed. But what stands before you is a complete visual and technical overhaul of ULTRAKILL. Worked upon for nearly a year. BEHOLD:

[previewyoutube=_NRMUN55jOg;full][/previewyoutube] And yes, your ears do not deceive you. That's the mighty KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD you're hearing. As we've added not ONE, not TWO, but THREE songs from The Gizz into ULTRAKILL. (Available for your listening pleasure in the Cyber Grind.) Thanks, Lads!

Now you may have some questions!

Why did we do this?

Well you see, much of ULTRAKILL's codebase was very messy, especially the enemy behaviors. So much so that not only would it make it harder for us (and modders) to work on the game in the future, but even for us to do some of the new things we wanted to do in Layer 8. So we (Pitr, Heckteck, and the New Blood programming team) decided to rewrite (revamp) it! https://youtu.be/p9wWGd5r4us?si=gaYA9vT08bb7eB1a While some of this work is STILL IN PROGRESS - we didn't want to put off development of Layer 8 any longer so the full enemy rewrites will be rolled out later in order for Hakita and co. to work on Layer 8 at the same time. You're welcome. And knowing this would take a long time, Hakita and Victoria decided to use that time to REVAMP a lot of the visuals from the previous layers to bring them up to par artistically to where the game has reached by Layer 7. We think the results speak for themselves: [previewyoutube=cQ5Tub82jYM;full][/previewyoutube] Not only that, but some bits of this visual rework are technical marvels. For instance: LUST now has an actual 3D city beneath it!

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/elEgzJ And while you won't notice a lot of the technical work that's been done under the hood of the game - what you WILL notice is the improved performance. YES WE HAVE IMPROVED THE VISUALS OF THE ENTIRE GAME WHILE ALSO IMPROVING PERFORMANCE IN EACH AND EVERY LEVEL.

But is there any new playable content in this update?!

Indeed there is! Two Encore levels!

What are Encore levels?!

Encore levels, which you may previously thought of as mere replayable levels with radiant enemies... are now so much more. They don't look anything like the levels they're based on, they don't play anything like the levels they're based on, and they're about 10x harder than the levels they're based on.


GOOD LUCK. (They only unlock once you beat all the base levels available the game)
And since you have been so patient waiting for this REVAMP, Hakita has decided to release these two Encore levels for you! (which he had time to work on while the programming team was working on their rewrites) The rest of the Encore levels will be released as a post launch update (free of course) so look forward to that. Or don't because they're insanely hard. Harder than any level in the base game. Because that's the point of them. You've been warned. And speaking of happy surprises to celebrate this momentous occasion - The Gabriel plushies from our friends at Makeship are abvailable to PRE ORDER... NOW!
We have reached a landmark deal with Makeship to produce tens of thousands of these little dudes - and they cannot sell out - so don't panic! Or do... from joy?! Anyway...

What comes next?!

Well we imagine there will be an inveitable update for this update after we get feedback and testing from all of YOU... but after that?

AFTER THAT MY DEAR FRIENDS WE ARE FINALLY ONTO LAYER 8: FRAUD.

And after that? THE GRAND FINALE!

After THAT?! THE ENCORE.

And after that?! Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

We still have much work to do. But thanks to this ULTRA_REVAMP - the work that still remains will only go more smoothly. Like butter, if you will. Thank you for your patience over the last year and even moreso as we begin our work towards Layer 8 and The Grand Finale. The end is in sight, machines... See you again SOON -Big Dave on behalf of New Blood, Hakita and the ULTRAKILL Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/ Oh and don't forget we're having a New Blood anniversary sale! Save big on ULTRAKILL and all our other games. We WILL be increasing the price of ULTRAKILL this year, so as usual - the SOONer you buy the MORE you save.

MACHINES, WE KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING. ...YET... SO HAS HE. ULTRAKILL PRIME SANCTUM 2 IS NOW READY FOR YOU:

It features new music by Heaven Pierce Her (Hakita) as well as guest artist KEYGEN CHURCH [previewyoutube=MG5L-1pI8bI;full][/previewyoutube] You think you're ready? That's cute.

Why not relax and also take in new Secret Level 5-S while you're here?

Our decidedly most chill secret level to date.
Because something tells us you're going to need it.

This update also contains Radiant Enemies:

[previewyoutube=_yZ8JO0hlvU;full][/previewyoutube] They can be tested in Sandbox Mode currently and will eventually be used in the Cyber Grind and upcoming Encore levels with alternate enemy placements...

As well as the S.R.S Cannon (Green Rocket Launcher Variation)

[previewyoutube=uFQPw_b4i7k;full][/previewyoutube] Sam would be proud.

And... The Developer Museum.

Created entirely by (paid) ULTRAKILL community developer Vvizard, this massive structure houses many halls, many balls, a working movie theater, an aquarium... and maybe even some secrets.
It was designed and built as a testament to ALL of the talented people who have contributed work to ULTRAKILL over the years, and we hope you enjoy exploring it much more than a simple credits screen.
But enough about that....

REMEMBER:

STAY VIGILANT And most importantly

Machines, it's time to get spooky.

Halloween is here! So this year we've decided to go all out and give every damn enemy in the game a pumpkin head. Even some things that aren't enemies. Even some things that aren't things!



Malicious face? More like MALICIOUS GOURD.

Think it's annoying? Well, it'll be gone at the end of the month. Think it's amazing? Well, it'll be gone at the end of the month.

We've also spookified the main menu (and music), you're welcome.

But none of this is why you're here, is it?

You heard we were releasing 4-S today, didn't you? WELL YOU HEARD RIGHT. We're not going to spoil it for you (and you shouldn't spoil it for others) But turn off the sun, run to the hills and maybe bring a D-Pad for this one, machines.

We've also added Custom Color Palette and Dithering options to the game!

So you can completely customize the way ULTRAKILL looks. For example... ULTRASZYMANSKI?!
ULTRABOY?!
ULTRANOIR?!
Anyway, you can do that now - so have fun! Sandbox mode has also gotten some upgrades such as new cheats, a new cheats menu, cheat rebinding, custom blocks, telekinesis, aaaaand saving and loading. Take that, Garry.
Now that this creatively fulfilling update is out of the way...

Hakita and the gang can get back to work on Layer 5: WRATH.

Hey Machines, have you ever wanted to just play around with all of your weapons and all of the enemies that the world has on offer, without any of that pesky Campaign or Cyber Grind getting in the way?! Well, now you CAN!

Introducing... The Sandbox!

[previewyoutube=uMU-vHQtogo;full][/previewyoutube] Thanks, Garry. The Sandbox is just that, a playground for you to test anything and everything in ULTRAKILL. Neat, huh? You know what else is neat?

MULTIPLE SAVE SLOTS:

AND BOSS ABILITY COOLDOWN BARS!

This will allow you to see what bosses like V2 and Flesh Prison are planning to do right before you fuckin' *We've also made a good amount of tweaks and changes you can see below.* And be sure to tune into Realms Deep 2021 T O M O R R O W to get a FIRST LOOK at Layer 5: WRATH.

See you there, Machines...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL PATCH NOTES Additions

• New Sandbox level (available from the shop)
• Multiple save slots (available in the General options)
• Added secondary boss bars
• Flesh Prison: displays time until the next heal
• V2: displays patience

General changes

• Burning enemies now take 150% damage from all attacks
• Countdown before a Stalker can explode itself increased from 3 seconds to 5
• Streetcleaners now have a blue flash instead of a yellow one to signify that their flamethrower attack is unparriable
• Added a tutorial tip to 1-2 that explains that blue flash attacks are unparriable
• 4-4 Whiplash tutorial tips are no longer timed and are instead disabled by triggers
• Whiplash no longer auto-aims to Malicious Face corpses
• Punches now reset rotation quicker to no longer block the HUD for a long time after a punch to the side
• Spawning undroppable items (skulls and torches) with the spawner arm will now also create an altar to put them down on
• Updated music for 4-1 and 4-4

Nailgun changes

• Greatly decreased the amount of time it takes to be able to shoot when switching to any variation of the Nailgun
• Attaching magnets to a Stalker will reduce the splash radius of its sandification explosion (0.75x for 1, 0.625x for 2, 0.5x for 3)
• Nailgun's firerate is no longer slowed down when playing at a low framerate
• Magnets attached to enemies no longer have a damage penalty

Sisyphean Insurrectionist changes

• Insurrectionist's attacks are now parriable: Punching his boulder with the feedbacker mid-attack will momentarily turn it into a cannonball
• Added distinct spawn and death sounds to make Insurrectionists easier to keep track of in the Cyber Grind
• Insurrectionist's attacks have been slowed down to make parrying possible
• Insurrectionists can no longer be damaged by enemy explosions
• Insurrectionists now take up 2 Cyber Grind special enemy tokens instead of 1, meaning spawning an Insurrectionist costs as much as 2 Mindflayers
• Greatly reduced Insurrectionist's amount of bleeding when not on fire and increased bleeding when on fire
• Insurrectionists will now play hurt sounds when on fire
• To explain the Insurrectionist fire changes: Burning an Insurrectionist will now work as an opening for dealing big damage rather than just dealing big damage by itself. This is to stop players from setting Insurrectionists on fire and then running away until they die from the passive damage. The changes to bleeding and hurt sounds are to make the importance of using fire against Insurrectionists clearer and more intuitive.

Bugfixes

• Improved performance on 2-2 and 4-4
• Vertexlit enemies will now check for outdoors lighting zones
• Virtue's cannonball effect when launched after death with a feedbacker punch now works correctly

• Fixed a bug where combat music wouldn't start when the player spawned an Insurrectionist with the spawner arm
• Fixed coins persisting through checkpoint restarts
• Fixed secret dual wield powerups not respawning on checkpoint restarts if the player hasn't already found them

• Can no longer clip outside the 4-4 boss arena by riding the rising columns up
• Can no longer stop the 0-1 timer from starting by picking up the revolver and running to the glass floor room before the logo disappears
• Restarting from the final 1-1 checkpoint will no longer keep the preceding room despawned
• Fixed a rare case that would cause the player to go into a perpetual falling loop at the start of 2-1 by not respawning the intro tunnel after falling into a pit
• 4-2's red skull arena will now still start even if the player enters from the side
• Fixed a bug where Insurrectionists would sometimes still keep jumping even if the blind enemies cheat was turned on
• Can no longer fall perpetually while slamming on the 2-2 dinner table

• Insurrectionists will no longer die instantly when spawning in the Cyber Grind's jump pad pit pattern

• Fixed V2 getting stuck if knocked down ontop of one of the lanterns during the phase change

• (Hopefully) fixed an issue where Insurrectionist would jump into the air and never fall down
• Fixed an issue where Streetcleaner canisters would appear floating above the 4-2 desert when shot
• V2 can no longer be instakilled with an explosion that deflects all his projectiles back into him
• Fixed a z-fighting issue with the 4-2 red skull's glass case

WELCOME BACK, MACHINES. IT HAS BEEN... SOME TIME.

This long awaited update will add content and features for new players and hardened veterans alike. PREPARE THYSELVES.
While we will not spoil what is behind the PPPerfect Door... know that it will TEST you in ways you did not think possible.
And what awaits you in Secret Level 2? Will shake you to your very CORE. But this update isn't just for returning and hardcore players, oh no.

Easy difficulties (Harmless and Lenient) are now selectable!

These difficulties will help less skilled players get more used to the speed and mechanics of ULTRAKILL. Making progress on higher difficulties will now also unlock the same missions on lower difficulties to make switching to an easier difficulty more convenient for players who have made progress before.

We've also added Vvizard_Man's texture pack to the Cyber Grind!

[previewyoutube=iDMjKC71HVs;full][/previewyoutube] Featuring the new fan favorite skybox: "Inside Gabriel's Microwave"

In this update is also the long requested "Remember last used weapon variation" option which makes switching to a weapon also switch to the variation that that weapon was previously on.
We've also made dozens of changes, fixes and optimizations. (And added soap) And since we know you're all PATIENTLY awaiting ACT II: IMPERFECT HATRED, we've decided that we won't wait for the entire act to be finished before giving you MORE of what you so very much crave. That being said... the next major update will contain

LAYER 4: GREED

As always, don't forget to keep up with New Blood by:

• Joining our Discord.
• Following the game on Twitter
• Buying some fresh MERCHANDISE
• And checking back on THIS THREAD to see weekly progress.
• As well as on Pitr who has been turning ULTRAKILL custom levels into exactly what you'd expect

[previewyoutube=PeZx47_pxoY;full][/previewyoutube] Until next time, machines... https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/

• Alternate Revolver now does a flat 2.5 damage instead of the previous "2 damage with a maximum of 2.5 damage via headshot".
• If hit with the Alternate Revolver during the splitshot timing, a coin will now increase the shot's amount of hits by one (as well as matching the amount of times a shot will hit before piercing through to that new total hit amount)
• Increased homing speed of Hideous Mass' bomb projectiles on Violent difficulty
• Increased speed and spread of Drone's projectiles on Violent difficulty
• Tab stats menu now displays current progress towards the level challenge instead of whether or not the challenge has been previously completed
• Boss health bars now turn green when the boss is being healed to make it clearer to the player
• If weapon icon is disabled, the railcannon meter will switch to an alternate version that fits the weapon iconless HUD better
• Modified 1-1's long hallway to include a tutorial message for the Nailgun's magnet, as well as changing enemy spawns to give the player a bit of space to try it out after being told about it
• Knuckleblaster punch can now break glass and heavy breakables that previously only its blastwave could
• Cerberus and Malicious Face will now change to a cracked texture when below half health to make them easier to seperate from eachother
• Coin punching damage stacking will now cap at 5 unless the coin hits an enemy Nailgun changes:
• Increased nail velocity and decreased spread on Attractor nailgun
• Both nailguns now fire at maximum firerate instantly (Overheat nailgun's firerate slows down with more unreleased heat but heat builds up slower)
• Attractor nailgun deals increased damage against most Husk enemies (Filth, Stray, Schism, Soldier)
• New firing sound effect
• Attractor nailgun is now limited to a maximum of 3 magnets active
• Attractor magnets now have a nail weight limit and will instantly explode when reaching it (multiple magnets reduces the weight of nails)
• Nailbomb explosions now deal much higher damage, as a single nail will deal half the entire collective's damage, but only a single hit from a nail explosion counts
• Alternate animations when centered to stop the gun from blocking out the middle of the screen Fixes:
• Various optimization improvements for better performance
• Fixed all known causes of save corruption
• Fixed an issue where the Cyber Grind would break if more than 99 enemies spawned in a single wave
• Fixed a bug where enemies would sometimes spawn in bugged positions in the Cyber Grind
• Fixed a bug where the player would sometimes get launched incredibly far away from a point-blank projectile boost
• Fixed an issue where players could cause the tram to flip around with a precisely timed direction change
• Fixed the music getting quieter when entering a reverbarated area
• 2-2 Railcannon hallway enemies will now still spawn even if the player enters from the other side
• Fixed a bug where the shockwave from a Cerberus stomp or Hideous Mass slam would sometimes spawn above ground level
• Using a coin to hit a Malicious Face will no longer cause the bloodsplatter to appear at the coin's location instead of where the shot hits
• The board blocking the upstairs door in 1-4's main hall can no longer be broken through the door with an explosion
• Fixed parry related inaccuracies caused by screenshake offsetting the camera
• Fixed the player being able to jump out of the intro tube in 0-1's short intro version
• Malicious Faces no longer get stuck in walls while dying
• Picking up an item with a punch will now play the "holding item" version of the punch animation and putting down an item with a punch will now play the normal punch animation
• If V2 dies during its intro animation, it will no longer get stuck

Hello again, machines.

Fan Art by thesaladmancer As 2020 draws to a close, we've got one last update for you before we slide into a bloody new year. Let. us. begin.

The Cyber Grind now has leaderboards.

We've made a host of quality of life enhancements.

• Added "Colors" option to menu that allows color customization for the HUD and enemy silhouettes
• Added global and friends leaderboards for The Cyber Grind (seperated by difficulty, will be disabled if using major assists or cheats)
• Added Railcannon charge meter to HUD which shows the current charge of the Railcannon
• Added "Enemies" tab to the shop that shows info for enemies you've beaten at least once
• Added pattern bundles to the Cyber Grind Patterns menu: folders in the Patterns directory are now transformed into bundles that let you easily enable or disable a group of patterns
• Changes:
• Changed the way levels and objects are stored (This is why the update is so lorge)
• Level start doors will now open sooner if you're sliding or dash jumping towards them
• Streetcleaners can now only be instakilled by ricoshots if the coin is behind the Streetcleaner
• Alternate Revolver now has a faster equip animation but will play a slower version if the gun has been fired within the past 2 seconds without pulling back the hammer
• Alternate Revolver's Piercer alt fire beam can now only hit a single target 4 times before piercing through (maximum total hits is still 6)
• Alternate Revolver now no longer gets a locational damage bonus unless reflected by a coin
• Coin splitshot window reduced from 0.1s (6 frames at 60FPS) to 0.067s (~4 frames at 60FPS)
• Standard jump height increased very slightly
• Added alternate punch and coin flip animations for arms when holding items to avoid blocking too much of the screen
• Spawner arm can now only spawn enemies that the player has beaten at least once
• Added "climbstepping": the player will now be able to walk over small height increases or reach a ledge they were just short of reaching

Steam Rich presence.

So now EVERYONE can see where you're at in ULTRAKILL

And FIXES.

• Fixed a bug where the weapon icon would appear at the start of a mission even if disabled in the HUD options
• Gabriel should no longer be able to use the same taunt voiceline twice in a row
• Fixed a bug where the player would be moved slightly inside the ground when stopping a slide which sometimes allowed for clipping through thin floors
• Knuckleblaster will now give style points when punching enemies
• Fixed bug where thrown coins would not chain with punched coins
• Slightly moved Feedbacker's item holding position to reduce clipping while using a monitor and holding an item at the same time
• Glow intensity in Cyber Grind custom themes will now be saved
• Weapons can no longer be used while using the shop by pausing, unpausing and switching weapons

Don't forget to take a look at WHAT'S NEXT.

And also know that CUSTOM LEVELS and STEAM WORKSHOP will be part of that... SOON

Thanks to YOU, ULTRAKILL was New Blood's most successful Early Access launch EVER. And with your continued support, the release of ACT II and the FULL GAME should be JUST as SPECTACULAR. We'll see you in 2021, machines.

Stay bloody.

It's been about a month since we launched ULTRAKILL into Early Access and we can now officially say...

IT HAS BEEN THE BEST NEW BLOOD LAUNCH EVER.

THE FASTEST SALES

(More than DUSK)

THE HIGHEST REVIEWS

(#1 FPS On Steam)

THE BLOODIEST FUEL

(There wasn't much competition for this)

So we just want to say... THANK YOU.

But not just for all that. For all your forum posts, Discord chats, Tweets, comments, feedback, everything! And especially the fan art that's been filling up the New Blood Gallery.


And THE MEMES.
OH GOD THE MEMES. https://twitter.com/Clandestine_vox/status/1304832874546212869 https://twitter.com/Breakfast_Baron/status/1309368457276862464 https://twitter.com/Scarfulhu/status/1306405091499540480 https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1303160104900939776 https://twitter.com/GetGianni/status/1305201423085375490 https://twitter.com/shootyshooty_/status/1302689151087792128 https://twitter.com/glasg0wned/status/1304785624218693635

But I digress... Over the next weeks and months we'll be releasing updates to the game which will include small tweaks, changes and additions to The Cyber Grind to keep you drenched in blood while you wait for... ACT II: IMPERFECT HATRED.

And you know what else is cool???

Hakita has released the soundtrack for Act I: INFINITE HYPERDEATH!!!

[previewyoutube=dYpYQHb-ZKg;full][/previewyoutube] So, yeah... We didn't send the game out for reviews. We didn't pay any PR agencies. We didn't send it to any "content creators" We didn't even put out a press release. This launch was 100% word of mouth and community driven. It was all YOU. So thank YOU for proving ONCE AGAIN that New Blood has the best players in the world.

We Love You & We Hate Money <3
