Hello!

As some of you know, there was an issue that prevented us from updating the Linux build to 1.8.92. We've finally managed to fix this, and the native Linux version is now the same build as the Windows version. There should now be no more problems connecting and playing CO-OP mode between these systems. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. PS If you've been using Proton to play the game on Linux & Steam Deck - there's no need to change anything as it should work just as well as the native Steam Linux Runtime version steamthumbsup Enjoy the game!

Steam Deck Verified Update

Hey everyone!

So far, Fury Unleashed was working well on Steam Deck, but we've decided on some extra steps to make it even sweeter with a few improvements! We're happy to let you know that from today...

Fury Unleashed is now Steam Deck verified!

Today's update consists of the changes listed below:

Better controller type detection for the in-game prompts.
Some UI elements, story segments & text were enlarged for better readability.
The UI scaling option now defaults to 200% when the game is launched on Steam Deck.
When playing on Steam Deck in handheld mode, the "Auto" graphics settings no longer reduce the quality of the related options when the game's FPS/refresh rate is locked to a value lower than 60.
Other minor improvements & bug/stability fixes.

Thank you all for playing Fury Unleashed & for your support throughout the years ghsmile You're awesome! [hr][/hr]On a side note, we're working on two new games. One of which Yet Another Zombie Survivors already has a Steam Demo, which was really popular in the last Steam Next Fest Festival! We plan to launch the game as an Early Access title soon, and we'll be working on supporting Steam Deck as well! If you think you might be interested, or want to support us, feel free to check the demo out. Thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2163330/Yet_Another_Zombie_Survivors/[hr][/hr]

Patch 1.8.91

Hey everyone! We've just pushed an update containing these changes:

The background layers in the Epilogue chapter are now less intrusive to make the gameplay-important layers be more distinguishable/readable. Let us know if this improves your experience!
Fix for the players getting stuck not being able to interact with an item/reward portal after defeating a boss in co-op modes while the other player have a completed quest status active.
Fix for the cases of the input being doubled to the second player controller in the local co-op mode.
Control mapper updated to support new controller types (e.g. PS5/DualSense controller).
An online co-op session no longer pauses for both players when alt-tabbing / switching focus.
Added a new option in main menu to inform about new games we're working on.
Other minor improvements/fixes.

We're constantly monitoring the situation on any remaining issues reported by the players and will continue to search for the reasons as to why these might potentially still happen. Please report to us (and send us logs) in case any issue appears while playing the game. Thank you for all your feedback, patience, and understanding! [hr][/hr]As you might have heard already, we're also working on two new games, one of which is our new take on the action roguelite platformer genre this time, in a dark fantasy setting but it'll still take some time for us to announce it properly (it will be worth it!). The second one Yet Another Zombie Survivors already has its Steam page, and we plan to launch it into the Early Access period soon! If you think you might be interested, or want to support us, feel free to add it to your wishlist. Thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2163330/Yet_Another_Zombie_Survivors/[hr][/hr]

Weapons are now two times more common among all item types in CO-OP modes to compensate double the number of players needing them.
Players in CO-OP modes now respawn with the same equipment & weapons they've had before dying.
Balance: Respawning players now have the current HP amount of the living player instead of 100%.
Balance: When changing comic-book pages (levels), the current HP amount of the player who has the lowest health will be set to the amount of the other player's HP (ex. P1: 80/120, P2: 50/100 -> P1: 80/120, P2: 80/100).
Possible fix for the loading screen freeze that could have happened while changing comic-book worlds (most commonly between worlds 1 & 2).
Other minor improvements & bug fixes.

Update 1.8 - Online Co-Op Beta: Phase Two

Welcome all!

Oh, how the time flies! It was like yesterday that we've announced the beta phase of the online co-op game mode in Fury Unleashed, and now we're getting ready for the next step - more on it below. We're also happy to release another set of improvements from the beta build into the stable release for all of you to enjoy! [hr][/hr]

This update is Windows-only at the moment. The macOS & Linux versions will be updated soon. Sorry for the delay!

[hr][/hr] On a side note, we've been experimenting with different storefront artwork, and our artist drew a new piece to freshen things up a bit. You can get a full-resolution version by clicking the image below:

Online Co-Op Beta - Second Phase

The Online Co-Op mode is now available for everyone in the PC version of the game - that means Linux and macOS also. You can play it on the main build version, by selecting it from the main menu. We might not be ready to release Online Co-Op as a finished product just yet, but we can't wait anymore to share the fruit of our combined effort with you, our players! The beta branch proved to be very helpful to find all the new ways to break the game and make it cry in the corner. We've since bought so many sweet and comfort things to ease out its pain, that we believe the core problems to be fixed already. But, non-core problems are problems still, so we can't say our work on the online mode is done. That's why it is still labelled as a "BETA", but now, it's even more accessible and easier to just jump in and have fun with friends old and new.

Fixes & Quality of Life

While we worked on the online mode, we've also implemented lots of improvements to the overall experience, which will also changes few things in both single player & local co-op modes. Some of those changes consist of things we've been asked about, but for different reasons were on the back burner of the to-do list. It's always important for us to receive feedback from you - the players - on what would you like to see improved/changed, as it's entirely possible, that we'll implement these things in the future. Don't be afraid to share your thoughts with us! Here's a very brief list of changes. Take note, that it consists of few spoilers!

Enemies in the Epilogue chapter now [spoiler]drop black ink, to ease out the leveling experience[/spoiler].
"SUPERHOT" & "Crypt of the NecroDancer" game modes can now be played with "Full" controller aim-assist (previously "High" was the maximum), making them more accessible for all players.
Some bosses had their amount of HP adjusted, not to feel so "spongy" and improve the flow.
Crash fixes for the Steam Workshop interface and other rare circumstances & cases.
Some UI elements are now properly selectable and/or clickable with every controller option.
Improved translations for every language, with support for the new online-related lines.
Dozens of improvements to both co-op modes. E.g. [spoiler]player resurrection[/spoiler] inside the Epilogue chapter.

Thankfully, most of these are now marked as "DONE"

What's next?

As always, we try to be as transparent, as we can. Online co-op took way more time to implement than we originally anticipated, and the global pandemic certainly didn't help with the schedules. While not being flawless with the dates, we strive to improve! We're still working hard on polishing the player experience and won't stop until online mode is ready to be fully release on both the PC and consoles. What comes after wholly depends on the game's popularity and demand. We've got heads full of ideas and passion, so we hope for all of you to stay with us and support us going further into the great unknown - our fun might just begin! [hr][/hr][table] [tr] [th]If you don't mind, go ahead and leave us a user review. It helps us with the game's visibility - which directly affects number of players - so we'd appreciate it a lot![/th] [/tr] [/table][hr][/hr] For latest updates and other fun stuff, make sure to follow us on any of our social media profiles fu_gold Psst We're sharing some new things there...

Online Co-Op - Open Beta

Hey everyone!

As you might already know, we're actively working on the online component of the game, and we're finally nearing the final steps of the process. Still, there's a lot to do, and we hope you can help us with that, and so... We'd like to officially invite our Steam players to the Online Co-Op beta test!

Important information!

Unfortunately, due to the streamlining of the updating process, this beta test is limited to the Windows version of the game.
Each player need to have the full version of the game in their library (remember, that you can also enjoy the "Remote Play Together" Steam option with local co-op on a single copy).
There are errors, bugs & glitches. Some might force both host and the client to ALT+F4 out of the game. It's a beta, so it's only natural. We count on you to help us squash them out!
When it's fully done, as promised, Online Co-Op will be also available on all the supported platforms and consoles - not only Steam.

[hr][/hr]

How to join the beta test:

[hr][/hr] [olist]

In Steam Library, right-click Fury Unleashed in the list of games, and select Properties...

In the properties' menu, select the BETAS tab

In the beta access code field, enter: onlinebetaunleashed and select CHECK CODE

You should now be able to select the onlinebeta branch in the drop-down field above, as well as click the "Opt into" button below. Use any of those to switch into the Online beta branch.

Steam will download a new build of the game, which is indicated by the [onlinebeta] in the title:

[/olist] [hr][/hr]

Some things to keep in mind:

Once again, this beta test is Windows only!
You can opt out of the beta test branch at any time in the BETAS menu, by selecting None.
In case anything goes wrong, you can revert your game to an earlier save file (more info below).
We'd love to hear your feedback; please contact us with anything you'd like to say!
The new menus/options related to Online Co-Op are currently in English & Polish only.
You're awesome

About save backups:

The game automatically makes save copies in case anything goes wrong. Please consult this thread to learn more on how to restore these backup saves: https://steamcommunity.com/app/465200/discussions/0/3112521013655651332

How to report bugs / share feedback:

Simply use any of our communication channels, but for the best effect use email, Discord, or Steam:

Fury Unleashed Online Co-Op Beta is coming!

Hi everyone!

We've got great news to share!

Online Co-Op Beta!

We'll be soon launching an open beta for Co-Op mode. For anyone interested in participating - please read on! Some hurdles were harder to overcome than we've anticipated, but the online implementation is getting closer with each passing day. Currently, there are a few caveats that still need to be ironed out, but most of the base gameplay is working smoothly. It will soon be possible for everyone to enjoy the game together, no matter the distance between you and the second player, and we can't wait for all the stories you'll tell us about it!

Awesome! How do I join?

Glad you've asked! We plan to launch the tests in the upcoming week, with a head-start for everyone, who own the game on Steam, and is a part of our newsletter family. If you're already subscribed - great! There's no need to do anything, except maybe let your friends know. To be exact: In the first phase, we'll be sending a beta code to everyone, who joined our Newsletter! You can join our mailing club for exclusive content and news at the link below, or straight from the game's main menu option. Don't worry, as you will be able to unsubscribe at any time, in case you'll find the industry secrets and photos of our pets to be undesirable for some reason. [hr][/hr]

Join the Awesome Newsletter to receive the beta invite first!

[hr][/hr] Thanks! In case you don't want to join the newsletter, we'll make the beta open to everyone in the second phase, so no worries! You will still need to have the game in your Steam library, to join the beta test.

Hotfix for macOS version

Hello all!

We've pushed an important hotfix for OSX build of the game:

Fixed the wrong macOS build version, which effected in save file loading from the wrong directory.

If you've just started playing the game on macOS after the 1.7.0 update, nothing should change. Your save file will be copied to the directory it should always be in. In case you've played the game before the 1.7.0 update, but haven't run after said update, nothing should change, don't worry! If you've played the Steam version on macOS both before and after the 1.7.0 update, your save will return to the last state it was prior to the 1.7.0 patch. We are sorry for the inconvenience we've caused - if you want to restore any progress you've made in the last few days, please contact us at contact@awesomegamesstudio.com, and we'll do our best to help! Once again, we're sorry to anyone affected by our mistake. We'll do our best for it to never happen again! Stay awesome,

Update 1.7 - Crypt of the NecroDancer & SUPERHOT New game modes!

Hi everyone!

Let's make this winter super hot with some dance rhythms - Two additional guest appearance modes are now available in Fury Unleashed for everyone to play, on every platform!

We've also made a very short trailer for this update. Check it out:

[previewyoutube=idltJij5ZZs;full][/previewyoutube]

Crypt of the NecroDancer

What is it about?

This mode lets you play the role of Cadence, the hero of the original game (of the same title). Armed with a trusted shovel and a deadly crossbow, she waltzes through the game's diverse environments, shooting bad guys to the rhythm of the music. The tempo of the music tracks varies level to level, culminating within main boss arenas in which players have to stay true to the rhythm to survive.

How to unlock it?

Each comic-book is a level of its own, so you'll need to defeat one of the main bosses in a set comic at least once, to access its content in "Crypt of the NecroDancer - Fury Unleashed" mode. There are 3 levels overall, each for every comic-book.

SUPERHOT

What is it about?

"SUPERHOT" turns around the ingame rules, making time stop when the hero doesn't move and flow when they do. That doesn't mean the game's easy though, as you now can survive just one hit before starting over. Still, you can use the Fury Unleashed's combo system to get additional damage shields based on how well you dispose of the enemies standing before you.

How to unlock it?

Each comic-book is a level of its own, so you'll need to defeat one of the main bosses in a set comic at least once, to access its content in "SUPERHOT - Fury Unleashed" mode. There are 3 levels overall, each for every comic-book.

Original games

If you haven't already, don't forget to also try the awesome games, that the modes we've implemented are based on! Don't forget to tell them we've sent you and that they're beautiful https://store.steampowered.com/app/247080/Crypt_of_the_NecroDancer/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/322500/SUPERHOT/

The other stuff

In case you've missed our latest hotfixes, we've improved some things since the last major update:

Increased the player walking speed by 30% ( ~gotta go fast! ),
Unknown system time zone will no longer make a level load indefinitely,
Fixed an error with the [spoiler]bat/vampire[/spoiler] enemy in the epilogue chapter,
Fixed a bug that very rarely made some chapter 2 enemies immortal,
Fixed a bug causing only the "Core Chamber" boss to spawn in the third comic book,
Fixed a rare bug causing progress to be lost when using Save & Quit feature in the epilogue,
Fixed a bug causing the game to stutter and eventually crash when using a gamepad.
Other, minor changes.

Update 1.6.2 - Saved & Loaded

Hi everyone!

One of the two main features that we've promised is now officially available on Steam!

Save & Quit!

We're finally able to bring you the new feature, which lets you close the game and come back later to continue playing the same run. We're sorry it took so long, but it required a lot more work than we thought. Still, we strive for the best and hope this new feature will be a help to all of you, as well as a great foundation for the online session loading system, that's needed for the upcoming online co-op mode. Currently, both single-player and local co-op games can be saved but keep in mind that you can only store a single save-state at a time. The system allows you to exit the current run and reload it later at any time, except for these cases:

While fighting any of the mini & main bosses,
In the tutorial level, as well as some other plot points of the game,
Inside secret & sketch trap levels/events,
If the application is force-quitted (e.g. ALT+F4).

These restrictions were added mostly to decrease the possibility of something going wrong with the save file, as well as to limit the abuse potential. There are also lots of fixes and small improvements to the game, but most of them were related to this new feature. Thanks to everyone who tested the beta build - You're awesome!

Accolades Trailer

You might have missed a new trailer we pushed out some time ago, so here's a quick link to it. Again, we wouldn't get the coverage we got if not for the help of our player base. So, think of it as our shared success :D [previewyoutube=QisyK4_mg0I;full]https://youtu.be/QisyK4_mg0I[/previewyoutube]

Upcoming content

We understand that lots of you are waiting for Online Co-op mode and some new stuff to be added. That's why the upcoming update will feature two new game modes, which we won't spoil much about for now, but you should start practicing your best moves ;) In addition, we're actively working on adding the online mode sometime later. We hope you'll stay with us, as we're working on ways to crank up the combos together with your buddies online! Be sure to follow us on any of our social media profiles for updates and maybe a small teaser or two?

Save & Quit - Open Beta

Hey everyone,

Good news! We're closing into the next big update, which will feature Save & Quit feature as well as two new game modes! From there on, it will be a straight road to making the game work online, as well as adding some polish to the co-op mode overall. First, we'd like to ask you for your help! The Save & Quit feature is something, that required lots of work from us to work as intended, but there are probably still some things that might need tweaking. Because of that, we're organizing an open beta of the feature for all Fury Unleashed players on Windows.

Save & Quit Open Beta Testing Branch!

We invite each one of you to help us test the new build of the game, which you'll be able to do by following the instructions below. It's completely optional, so if you don't feel like doing so, no problem! We'd love to hear what you think about the aforementioned feature, and if it can be broken by you - feel free to save, as well as shutdown the game at any time, to see if anything can go wrong in different scenarios. We want for it to work as intended where it should, and believe, that we can check if it does with the help of our awesome community! [hr][/hr]

How to join the beta test:

[hr][/hr] [olist]

In Steam Library, right-click Fury Unleashed in the list of games, and select Properties...

In the properties menu, select the BETAS tab

In the beta access code field, enter: furyunleashedbeta and select CHECK CODE

You should now be able to select a beta branch in the drop-down field above. In case of it not appearing, you might need to restart the Steam client first.

Steam will download the special build of the game, which is indicated by the [beta] in the title:

[/olist] [hr][/hr]

Some things to keep in mind:

This beta test is Windows only!
If you want, you can opt-out of the beta test branch at any time in the BETAS menu.
By the nature of such tests, your save might get broken, so we recommend backing it up (more info below)

Update 1.5 - Scaled, balanced & improved

Hello everyone! It has been some time since the last update; we understand that for some of our fans, it might felt like an eternity. Some of us had a short break to catch a breath after years of development of Fury Unleashed and return to you with new ideas and energy to implement them. We've also been steadily working on adding the foundations for Online Co-op mode, and it will come in a later update. For that reason, we've been implementing a Save & Quit feature, which is now almost complete, but we've wanted to test and polish it a bit more before the public release. We're also changing the version naming (1.0.4 > 1.5) with the aim of unifying the numbering with the other (console) versions of the game. Sorry for the potential confusion! Still, we didn't want you to wait any longer, so here's a slew of fixes, upgrades, and additions to the game - enjoy!

Interface scaling!

Some of you were asking us for a way to increase the readability of the game, especially on smaller screens or being far from the TV. Thanks to your feedback, there's now a new slider in the options menu. It lets you decide on the size of the in-game font as well as of selected interface elements. Grab your favorite brand of tea, cover yourself with a blanket, and unleash your fury from the comfort of your sofa, without the added strain on your eyes.

Steam Rich Presence!

That might not blow your mind but will blow those of your buddies on the Steam Friends List. Now, everyone can see which part of the comic-book universe are you in at a current moment, and why are you fighting those aliens without them. Tell them not to worry, as Steam Remote Play works as intended, and online co-op will come when ready!

Balance changes!

We want the game to be fun for everyone, and not feel too long or too short for anyone, so we keep our fingers on the pulse. Some tactics like stacking lots of armors were a bit overpowered, so we're tweaking them, as well as making adjustments to the leveling curve, for the game to feel more rewarding and less grindy.

Starting weapons are now better, faster, stronger.
Environmental traps are slower on the first comic-book page.
Armors are weakened by having fewer defense points. Toss a coin to your armorer~
Bosses now have less HP across the board. Less bullet-spongy, same unhealthy-deadly.
More black ink drops from basic enemies, but less for elite, bosses, and from item trades.
Less ink from the combo multiplier. You're still awarded more of it, but not in an unhealthy way.

And more!

New skin colors to choose from for both of the default Fury models.
SteelSeries GameSense support added to make your life more colorful.
Improvements and corrections to some of the game's language versions.

Also, bugfixes:

One of the challenges from the Death NPC will no longer occasionally crash the game.
Descriptions of enchants on weapons should now properly fit the text panel in every language.
Additional preventions against being locked outside rooms hosting a Sketch Chaos Invasion event.
The Bat enemy no longer makes ears bleed with how loud it screeches. It screams in pain quietly.
Other, minor stuff, we've fixed along the way.

PAX x EGX 2020 & Demo version!

As a bonus, we'd like to let you know that we're taking part in this year's PAX Online x EGX event! Our participation consists of not only having a [virtual booth] but also providing everyone with a demo version on Steam. You are welcomed to [try the game for free] if you like - Steam's demo will be available until September 20.

As usual, we wouldn't be here if not for our awesome community and its feedback. Thank you, everyone, for all the bugs you've reported, and the woes you've shared, and that cake you sent us some time ago. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive it, but we truly believe it wasn't a lie. Stay tuned to more by following us on our social media (links below), and chat with us and the rest of the community on [Steam Forums] & [Awesome Discord server]. Stay unleashed!

Update 1.0.2 - Brazilian-Portuguese, Japanese Korean localization added

Hi everyone! It was just a week ago that we've released Fury Unleashed. We've already pushed out a small hotfix for the game, but time's flying fast, and we show no signs of stopping! Today's patch won't be a big one for everyone, but for some of you - definitely.

Brazilian-Portuguese, Japanese, and Korean translations now available!

We're expanding the range of our localization versions with these three new languages. These language options were planned for the full release at first but didn't make it in time, so we've decided to polish them a bit more and release later. We hope that now even more of our friends from countries like Portugal, Brasil, South Korea, and Japan can enjoy Fury Unleashed to its fullest!

Bugfixes and improvements

We've pushed some urgent fixes and improvements for the game, which includes, but is not limited to:

In co-op, if both players use controllers, the second gamepad's bindings can be configured independently from the first one.
Some keyboard detection problems were fixed, both for the single-player and for the second player in co-op mode.
Killing 3 enemies with a cluster grenade won't trigger the "Nice one" achievement anymore. It's still a nice one, though.
A fix for the Fury's skin color being reset when switching skins. Wait... what?

That might not be the biggest update yet, but we didn't want you to wait for some of those changes, and especially for the new language versions! Don't forget to join the discussion on both the [Steam Forums] and on our [Discord server]. Stay awesome! Awesome Games Studio Team

Update 1.0 - Fury Unleashed Full Release!

Welcome, everyone! The time has finally come, and after 5 years of work, we're finally releasing the full version of our labor of love, which is Fury Unleashed. Thank you all for your support over the span of the 3 years-long Early Access period! Both the positive comments and constructive feedback were of irreplaceable help. But that's it; we're finally here! So, let's jump straight into the good stuff:

Epilogue chapter now available!

The surprise final chapter, we've been working on for around a year now, is finally ready to be played! Explore the mysterious world contained inside the series author's sketchbook. Enjoy the different gameplay than before, with a new way of traversing the level. Many additional difficulties are awaiting those brave enough to face the most unfriendly environment yet. In fact, it's so unfriendly, that at times, you might happen to get stuck in it for a little while (wink, wink). Don't give up your hope, though, as you are very close to becoming THE hero of this hand-drawn universe.

Twitch and Mixer integration!

As a streamer, you are now able to link the game with your favorite service and allow players to vote for what rewards are you getting from in-game portals. There are also additional challenges waiting for those brave enough to put their comic-book life at the stake of violence-hungry viewers! There are also some streaming parameters to be adjusted in the configuration menu, in the game's options. There is also a new option, that we found could prove helpful to streamers; music can be toggled to stay on while the focus is no longer on the game's window. This option is toggled off by default, but when enabled, our OST can now be used as background music on streams... or while cleaning your room?

Three new skins

There are three new skins available. Each of them is unlocked by finishing the game on appropriate difficulty mode. I wonder, how many of you will smile upon seeing the reward for the successful Legendary run :)

New achievements

Speaking of Legendary; there are new achievements available, related both to the new content, as well as additional skill-based ones, for all of the hardcore players to prove they ain't softcore! So, what will you do this fine evening - get a combo of 500, or finish the game on a single combo streak? Decisions, decisions.

Steam Trading Cards

Collectors, rejoice! There are now trading cards, waiting to be dropped by spending some quality time with Fury Unleashed. There is a total of 9 cards, the same number of backgrounds, 5 emoticons, and all those sweet levels of profile badge to get! Don't forget to tell us which one's your favorite!

Lots of smaller changes

We are constantly busy with fixing potential problems, enhancing the experience, and adding balance and QoL changes. Here's today's batch of those:

We've found full auto-aim option on gamepads to be a little too powerful at times, so we've limited it to Easy mode. Three other versions of aim-assist are still available on every mode.
New sounds and fixes to mastering issues. Lots of them in fact, both for enemies and male/female versions of Fury. Some screams are simply to die for!
Exploding barrels and "friendly" grenade boxes now have a new prompt, informing players of additional ways of interaction; barrels can be thrown at enemies, grenade boxes can be broken for bonus ink.
Small improvements to the tutorial level, both graphically, and in level structure. Feel free to once again learn the ropes of obliterating your foes, if you want to!
Other minor bug fixes and QoL changes. Don't worry, we've made the game better for you to play, so simply jump right into it and have fun! :)

Remember, that we are always happy to receive new feedback from our players, and in case of any technical issues, we'll do our best to help you in fixing them. Join us on [Steam Forums] or our [Discord server] to chat about the game and tell us how awesome it is to cut a skeleton in half... vertically. Stay awesome! Awesome Games Studio Team

Update #65 - Of Penguins and Apples

Welcome! As you probably already know, the full release is happening in two days, on May 8. But, before the major update to the game, we've wanted to quickly give you info about some smaller fixes, as well as bring one of our old promises to its fulfillment:

Linux & MacOS support added

Rejoice, users of other systems, as no longer will you be forced to emulate the Fury experience using tools and boot camps. Native Linux and MacOS support is here, and users of those operating systems can download the game straight from their Steam Libraries. We'd love to hear back from you on how are those builds of game faring, and if there are any problems, we'll try to fix them ASAP! We've tried our best to check if everything is working as intended under those environments, but if we've missed something, and Fury suddenly sported a second pair of hands on that one Linux distribution you happen to use, let us know!

Full release coming this Friday!

But before that, there are some additional bugfixes in both this and previously undescribed hotfix. Those are mainly focused on the game's stability, like in-game lags and audio problems, as well as random freezes which should all be hopefully fixed now. Some rare problems like bad spawn locations on bosses and animation errors on the second player in co-op were also fixed. Also, more sounds were added, and some audio mastering issues were fixed. We're making sure things are as polished, as possible in the small timeframe we've got left before the big update on release. So... fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the final episode of Fury's adventure! Also, once again, thank you all for all the support you've given us in the Early Access period. Prepare to unleash your fury, and stick with us on our social media (links below) and [Discord server]! Stay awesome! Awesome Games Studio Team

Fury Unleashed will leave Early Access on May 8! Free demo available now!

Hi everyone! We are happy to announce, that after 5 years of development, the game will be having its full release on May 8!

Dear community!

We are thankful for all your support over the span of the 3 years Early Access period on Steam! The help that you have given us with improving our labor of love is irreplaceable. But that's not the end of the road! Get ready for the biggest update yet, that will come along the full release. If you have already played the game, we would love for you to leave a review, as it helps us immensely! And if there is even something in the game you had any problem with, we will gladly help on [Steam Forums] or our [Discord server]. https://store.steampowered.com/app/465200/Fury_Unleashed/ Don't forge to also check our brand new Date Announcement Trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRZwYLi1gpg

Demo version available now!

Another news is, that the free demo version, called Fury Unleashed: Prologue is available right now. You can go to its Steam page, and download it if you like. The prologue version contains nearly the entire content of the first of three comic books included in the full game, as to preview the game for anyone willing to try it out. The best thing is, all character progression made in the demo seamlessly transfers to the full version! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1262960/Fury_Unleashed_Prologue/ Tell your friends to unleash their fury and stay awesome!

Update #63 - Rare, Legendary, Enhanced even further

Hello again! Lately, we used the first paragraph to convey the "coming soon" news, without pointing at specific dates. This time, we are ready to announce some concrete things. Let's get ready to... update!

Demo version & full release

This might not be the main point of the patch, but we think it is important enough to post it first. We would like to announce that the demo version of the game named "Fury Unleashed: Prologue" will be available on March 30. If you are interested, you can wishlist the Prologue now, to receive a notification on its release: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1262960 The same day, we will announce the release date, so stay tuned! The prologue will be available on to everyone, who wants to try out the game for free, and it will consist of the first comic, although having some content from the full version cut out. Best thing is that any progress made will automatically transfer to the full version, so there is no reason not to tell your friends to have a try when it becomes available. Don't let your Fury's weapons cool down through, as it's not a bad idea to practice before new content arrives with the full release version.

Equipment rarity & enchantments

Following our players' feedback, we are once again making tweaks in the equipment department. This time, we are introducing a notable difference in item tiers, as well as improving some things. From now on, items you gain are tiered as common, rare, and legen... wait for it... dary! This doesn't always mean that a legendary item will be better than common one in every situation, but it adds a new layer of depth into any playthrough and will help some players decide on which item to choose. Another thing added with this update is weapon enchantments, which are random now, and usually not locked in place with certain tools of destruction. Even though your flamethrower would make the enemies blow up on death and cause collateral damage to their surroundings? Or maybe you thought, that that one railgun didn't have enough "freeze anything its beam touches"? Well, times have changed, and now are the times of acid imbued heavy machine guns. As the items are tiered now, we can further improve upon the rewards system. Normal "blue" item chests will now usually grant players mostly common items, with a chance for a rare one. But the rewards for secret challenges, defeating bosses, and other great feats of strengths, will now be guaranteed to grant players at least a rare, if not legendary item!

Two new skins & more customization

This time, we'll be adding not one, but two new skins! What are their name and background is for you to decide, as you are free to roleplay them in any way. Was the Fury warped into a skeletal cultist, that fights against his new lord's will? Or did our hero just return from a cold-war space exploration mission as a now-immortal astronaut? Our guesses are as good as yours :) You can unlock new skins as a reward for [spoiler]achieving the combos of 100 and 150[/spoiler]. With this update, we are also enabling the custom heads from Steam Workshop to be used with any of the unlocked skins! No longer will you be forced to use your custom-made OC cybernetic ancient demon's head with a body of a mere mortal. Cyber-Ancient-Demon-Furry it is!

New aiming system and animations

For a long time, we were thinking about polishing the visual side of how the character animations on weapon aiming looks and functions. We've decided to change some things, and as of now, if Fury isn't actively shooting at anything, his/hers/its hand will fall into a neutral, resting position. This also makes the weapon's default red laser pointer disappear, until it is needed again to point out doom for the enemies. This one, we'd especially love to hear what are your thoughts about. Those changes may (or may not) affect the way you play on both the keyboard+mouse and on the gamepads. We believe that it makes Fury's movement look more natural and "clean", as the hero isn't constantly targeting everything with murderous intent. Everyone deserves a moment to contemplate from time to time on how nothing in the universe can stop you.

And naturally, there are other minor things, such as:

Ink collection range was increased by 40%, so you won't have to run for your money (ba dum tss) as much as before.
Hive Abomination had its health and hitboxes tweaked, not to overstate its welcome.
In co-op, if one of the player's controllers turns off or is unplugged, turning it back on should associate it with the correct player.
Optimization - of course, it has further improved, as we strive for more with almost every consecutive update :)
Bugfixes - of course, there are, but we do try our best for them to be less of (bugs, not fixes) with every next update.

Special thanks, for bug reports and feedback, to: Addis Spencer, Dragonfox, Mizu.Q, oleg-provotorov, Reflector, USteppin. And of course thanks to everyone in the community, for continuous support, engagement, or simply for being yourselves, as you are awesome just the way you are :) Here's another reminder, that we'd love for you to chat with us on our [Discord server], as well as to join our social media (links below)! Stay awesome! Awesome Games Studio Team

Update #62 - Furry Unleashed, boss reworks, soundtrack now available!

Hi everyone! Here we are, at the final lap, so without further ado, let's jump into things coming in this patch.

New boss and a facelift of the old ones

A new boss has been added for the first comic: Corrupted Hive. Its power is reliant on insects that reside inside, but it can also "pack a punch" by itself, or so they say. Some of the other bosses had visual tweaks both to their attacks and their looks. Most importantly, Master of Souls and Priest of Souls both had reworks, so now, their respective fights with Fury look and proceed differently than before. Prepare to be challenged anew! There are more bosses and enemies on the way, but you'll have to fight them on the game's full launch!

Soundtrack released

Our jamming tunes, composed by The Witcher's composers Adam 'Scorpik' Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz, are finally available in their full glory! Following the recent changes to how OST sales can work on Steam, it's not a DLC, so even people who don't own the game can buy it. Our soundtrack consists of 24 songs in MP3 and FLAC formats, and you can acquire it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232750/Fury_Unleashed_Soundtrack/

A new skin - Furry

We've heard people misread our game's title as "Furry Unleashed" so many times that it was simply natural for us to embrace the idea. We are open to new ideas, and with that in mind, there was no reason not to include an option tailored for our vulpine friends out there! So, here we are. You've told us that fury isn't the only thing that could be unleashed, and we've listened. Furry skin is unlocked as a reward for [spoiler]achieving a combo of 30[/spoiler]. Just... try not to force us to change the game's title again, please? It would make an awesome April Fool's Day joke, though.

Bloodless mode

There's also something for people who either dislike seeing blood and dismemberments or are would like to play the game while young children are around. We've added Bloodless mode, where there is no presence of red liquids, and enemies "poof!" out of existence, instead of dying graphically. You can activate it at any time in the game's options menu. Do try it at home!

Optimization & fixes

We've spent a countless amount of hours since the last patch, streamlining the data, and optimizing the game. We understand that it isn't something that we can display like fireworks accompanied by orchestral fanfares but believe us. We did a lot of things for the game so that it will run better on low-end machines, and also there should be more than enough memory left for those pesky browser tabs ;) There were also errors waiting to be fixed, so we did just that. Thanks for all the reports! Here's a list of some of the bugfixes:

Lots of co-op fixes and quality of life (e.g. separate map control), but there's still more to come!
Weapons no longer tend to stack on each other visually. RIP amalgamations of a rocket launcher and a crossbow.
Sometimes, sketch event and secret challenge enemies would spawn in different spots than anticipated. Nevermore.
Ninja quest for melee assassinations now targets enemies that are designed to be cut, sliced, and diced.
Fast traveling using a mouse click won't accidentally start firing Fury's weapon like it used to.
Accidental left-stick presses will no longer keep the map open, and also there's a menu option to disable it altogether
Ultrawide screen resolution are now fully supported

Thanks to everyone in the community, and special thanks to: ChrissyHia, cjrunfiles, gerrard725, HiddenStake, PlaSmiCNoMaD, SexyPanther and Yeldo for the feedback that helped us improve the game.

Finally, we have one important announcement for those who haven't decided to buy the game yet, but are following its development: Fury Unleashed's price will be increased on March 2nd. It'll cost 19.99$/19.99 or the corresponding price in case of other currencies - so if you want to get it ahead of the upcoming full release, now is the best time.

Update #61 - Unlocks and Fate

Hello everyone! As we are tirelessly preparing the final chapter of Fury's journey, we've made sure to bring an update for all of our Early Access players. We hope you are excited to dive into the new stuff and improvements we prepared for everyone!

Weapon unlocks and a new NPC

Enigmatic Mistress of Fate makes her first appearance. Being an entity, that exists between comic and chaos worlds, she can be found in unusual places, communicating with Fury through spirit skulls that surround her. She will provide the hero with sketches, used to unlock new weapons for the player, which can be later found in the world or obtained from other non-playable characters. Completing secret levels will also grant Fury an offer of different rewards to choose from the Mistress herself.

Gunlord's arsenal overhauled

Fury's old friend is back, and you should see him a lot more often. Now Gunlord does not only help with loadout unlocks but also sports an arsenal of guns to sell, that's worthy of his name. Of course, everyone needs a hero, and it will be your job to provide Gunlord with additional tools of destruction, by completing the beforementioned sketches.

Updated handbook & workshop support

An in-game item list was added to the handbook to complement the unlock system. You can now check weapons, garments, and other items, both available in your playthroughs, and those of which you need to unlock by a sketch. Additional love was given to the Steam Workshop system, as from now on, it has a better integration in the hero appearance menu. We are excited to see what new characters will the community make and upload to the workshop!

Optimization, quality of life and eye-candy

As usual, we spent many hours on how the game works, raising the framerate while not decreasing visual or audio quality. In fact, we improved the quality by adding new effects as well as lots of additional detail and eye-candy to the second and third comics. Fast travel system was reworked slightly - you'll spend less time pressing buttons, more time traveling. It needs a second to get used to, but it's worth it! Also, you will always be able to travel to any rooms available while using gamepads, which was previously impossible in certain rare cases. Naturally, that is not everything included in today's update, but here's another glimpse of "everything":

First batch of fixes for co-op mode. We know that there is a lot of work still to be done for it to work flawlessly, and we are committed to fixing all of the problems in the end.
Crosshair style and size changes in options while in-game are simultaneously shown in realtime.
Bunch of improvements on different translations, and a new Chinese font.
Addition of new secret levels/rooms (and there is still more to come!).
There is a new logo of our company, so we'll exhibit it seamlessly while the main menu loads.
So many fixes, we gained a level by just squashing the bugs.

Special thanks to everyone who helped with their bug reporting and feedback, which includes, but is not limited to: ChrissyHia, Glaidy, johnstein, King MOS, NiteCrawla, Oilyscoob, Saifon, Thomot512, Thultex, Watinga, Weasel, Wn3ku, Yeldo, and Zeforas.

Update #60 - Small update

Hey everyone! We've just pushed a minor update and here's what's in it:

Loading screen tips with new graphics, to make the wait more interesting and informative.
Fury's model is now better rendered on different resolutions, decreasing its pixelation.
Sometimes when you quit the game, a new screen reminding about our social media will appear, helping to further build the community. Naturally, it can be effortlessly disabled to never be displayed again, so no worries!
Some destructible objects stolen by bugs were successfully recovered to be destroyed at will.
Other minor graphics and gameplay fixes

Update #58 - Enemies bound by chaos, more weapons and heavy optimizations!

Hi everyone! We've got another content update for you! Let's jump to the details right away:

New weapons

12 types of tools of destruction are added in todays update. Now you can inspire fear in evildoers by using new attacks, like energy pulses, proton lasers, sticky grenades, soul skulls, freezing beams or even by sending swarms of stinging insects at their faces or those things that they sometimes have in place of the face.

Chaos Chests

Another powerful creature lured its ugly (but well-drawn!) head from the depths of Chaos. It is capable of controlling surrounding enemies, empowering them and even making them immortal as long as it exists. But there is no need to panic, as it isn't invincible and can be brought down by Fury, earning a chest with helpful loot for our hero. Just mind all the bullets flying around!

Optimization and loading changes

Weve done a ton of optimizations to the game, including a change to how levels are loaded. Previously, the levels would load in the background, while you were already playing, which occasionally caused hiccups in performance, especially on slower machines. Now, weve added a bit of loading time between the chapters, but when you actually start playing, the game will be as smooth as possible from the very first frame. But that's not all. List of changes also includes (but is not limited to):

Lots of eye-candy, such as vegetation and other objects, that reacts to player movement, bullets or explosions.
Boss progress reports, showing how many more you have to defeat to permanently unlock starting the game from subsequent episodes
Lots of new sounds, from ink collecting clinks to enemy flesh being ripped out
Visual loading screens for comic pages, frame by frame
Another batch of freshly picked new levels / rooms
Usual extermination of found bugs

Update #57 - Hotfixes and other fixes

Hi again! The last update brought a lot of new features... as well as some bugs, which we're targetting now:

Critical hits should again work as intended (thanks Nikola for reporting it!)
Skill display at the end of a page on Incredible Mode is incredible now instead of bugged
Sniper Soldier regained his sight and now shoots Fury on... sight (thanks Sherif!)
War Mech boss won't spawn an unlimited amount of projectiles ever again (thanks qaser7!)
Quest timer now stops on sketch events, boss fights etc.
Other small bugfixes

But that's not all! As always, we are adding new features and QoL changes:

Improved display of information about fast travel on the map screen
You now choose to play single-player or co-op directly from the main menu
Minor tweaks to tutorial level. Sawblades should be much easier to air-dash through
Camera shake adjustment added to gameplay options (thanks Oilyscoob for the suggestion)

Per usual, join us on our social media to stay updated or just to say "Hi!" (Discord, Facebook, Twitter). Keep calm and unleash the fury! Awesome Games Studio Team

Update #56 - Chaos invasions, weapon sets, new skills, more Fury!

Hi everyone! Todays update brings lots of new things bigger and smaller, as well as many bug fixes and quality of life changes:

Sketch events

Furys world becomes even more unstable. From time to time, as you play, you will encounter strange events, which makes the whole comic frame you are in lose colors. Chaos invades the world, and you are forced to fight against it to return it to how it supposed to be or is it?

Weapon switching

Now you can hold two sets of weapons (thanks to cylervan for the suggestion) and switch between them wherever you want by using the corresponding button (by default: C on keyboard, right thumbstick press on gamepad)! No longer will you be forced to use one tool for every situation, as you might want to burn some enemies with a flamethrower and pierce others with laser beams.

Better movement

Furys got new dance moves. Jokes aside, controlling your character feels better than ever with improvements to how he/she snaps to and vault over terrain obstacles. Leave your double jump to when it is needed to crush, kill, and destroy.

New skill tree

Many improvements come to the way how you customize your character. The whole skill tree is now on a single page, branching into three paths in which you can freely upgrade (and downgrade, restoring spent points) your hero to your liking. There are also new skills available, like Stomp Shockwave, Temporary Invulnerability, and Superpower Shield.

Other than that, there are lots of smaller changes and fixes, as in:

New levels / room configurations and a new type of secret rooms, where you fight waves of enemies (thanks Nikola for the suggestion)
Better audio - new effects and ambient sounds
The map stays open when accessed by quick tapping the corresponding button
Proper loading screen was added
Change in the naming of difficulty levels ("Normal" is now "Hard")
Balance and visual improvements
Total annihilation of reported bugs

We hope you will have as much fun playing the game as we have to create it for you. There is still more to come, mainly in the inclusion of the fourth world: the sketchbook. We are working hard on making it an awesome experience you are all waiting for, so get ready for it! As always, thank you all for your continuous support as well as hello to every new Fury out there!

Update #53 Tons of guns, Ninja, and The Devil!

Hello everyone, For a long time now, youve only had a few classic guns at your disposal. With todays update, were tripling the number of firearms youll find throughout the comic books! The list includes: - Flamethrowers - Lasers - Grenade Launchers - Crossbows - Railguns - Dark Energy Guns - Blasters - Impulse Guns - Acidthrowers - Plasma Guns - Alien Rocket Launchers - Sawblade Launchers - Alien Shard Launchers - Nailguns
They are all available for you to find right now, but in the next update well introduce a system of unlocks, and itll require a bit of effort to get them. So this is the best time to lay your hands on those weapons! We would also like to introduce two new fellas Ninja and The Devil. They may not sound like they belong in the same universe, but as worthy NPCs, they will surely become a beloved part of Fury Unleasheds world.
The Devil is actually quite a mischievous character he would never disregard a good, fresh soul. And selling yours to him doesnt necessarily have to be a bad idea. The transaction will reduce some of your maximum HP, but it will reward you with quite a few neat gameplay bonuses. So if youve mastered your dodging skills and dont need too much HP, you really should consider doing a deal! Also, if you enjoy an occasional spot of blade-based slaughter, theres Ninja, who will be happy to send you on several quests and reward you for killing enemies just with your melee weapon. So better start sharpening your stabbing tools! Okay, so finally the part with major updates is behind us. Time for the minor, yet still interesting ones. Here we go: - From now on, the Commander X NPC will provide you with more quests, which you will perform on an entire page of the comic book; - The process of gaining a combo shield by a player now has its own visual effect; - More visual improvements to the first and second comics; - Bug fixes and game-balance changes. Furthermode, we'd like to thank our most active Discord user, Sherif for loads of bug reports and suggestions! Every bit of feedback is incredibly valuable to us, especially in ths final phase of development. Please keep it coming! (by the way, congrats on beating the Legendary mode!) Thats it for now; thanks for reading this! Remember to join our social media channels (Discord, Facebook, Twitter) so youll never miss anything interesting from the development process. See you soon!

Update #44 New enemies, encyclopedia and more!

Oh, speaking of encyclopedias, we wanted to let you know that weve added one to our game!

There's also a new track that will be played in-game when you score a furious combo. New NPC Gunlord, who will allow you to unlock new initial weapons. Three brand new (we would say shiny, but not really) enemies for the first comic. Modified customization panel and new alternative hero heads. Various minor improvements and bug fixes. We hope youre enjoying our game these new additions will make it even better than before.

The Badass Hero is now Fury Unleashed, leaving Early Access in early 2019, and about to get a local co-op mode!

We dont often post updates here, but when we do, we make sure they are worth your time. And today youll need quite a lot of it to dig in and go through all weve prepared for you. First things first, however, lets start with the most important piece of news for today, meaning the release date and the games title change. Yup, youve got that right. The Badass Hero is no more. Please meet Fury Unleashed, that will come to your PCs, PS4s, Xbox Ones, and Nintendo Switches in early 2019! Now trust us when we tell you that changing the games title after weve already made it available in Steam Early Access was not an easy decision to make. Nevertheless, it had to be made after we heard many times that its causing unnecessary controversy and is a turn off for people who otherwise might have been interested in it. Furthermore, after months of development The Badass Heros art style changed so massively, that reflecting that change with a new name was a good idea to disconnect it from the first screenshots and trailers that were released in 2016. Last, but not least, weve experienced significant difficulties promoting the game due to some social medias profanity filters. However, one thing that hasn't changed is the skill-based, action-packed gameplay with a combo system that will reward you for playing like a badass. Okay, okay, the title changed, noted, what about the local co-op feature? When will it become available? Well be running some tests during this years Gamescom, and if all goes well, we should be able to let you experience some epic boss fights hand in hand with your best buddy sometime around fall this year. Keep an eye out for a more precise date that well be posting in the next updates here! Still starving for more good news? Great! How about we tell you that we havent really shown you all that awaits you in our game? And that there will be some secret rooms to discover along your heroic adventure? Check out our newest trailer for a sneak-peak of whats to come. Just remember to watch it till the end. Good things happen to people, who dont skip credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmvLDsZbqQ Finally, the cherry on our cake, especially for you music freaks out there. The new set of soundtracks for the second comic book from the SkorupaWierzynkiewicz duo is here. Check it out (right after you check out the trailer) and let us know what you think about both. Our Discord, Facebook, and Twitter are all open and waiting for your feedback!

Update #39 - The female character is here, accompanied by a completely new soundtrack!

You asked for it, we promised to deliver, and here it is! From now on you can play not only as a badass looking male character but also a female one. And trust us when we tell you, the girls in our game are equally as capable of kicking alien butts as the guys. If not more. It took them a while to join the fight, so now they are all pumped, ready, and impatient for some serious action. Dont take our word for it though, look at the ladies below and youll discover that fight like a girl just got a whole new meaning.
But its not the only good news we have for you today! Fighting bad guys is fun but doing so while listening to an awesome music score is a real treat. Especially if the composers behind the tune are no other than Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz themselves! Does The Witcher soundtrack ring a bell? Shadow Warrior 2 maybe? Bulletstorm? Yep, thats those guys, and were thrilled to have them working on The Badass Hero track. For now, you can listen to their music in the first comic book but dont worry, more is coming. We've also made several balance changes, including much requested built-in Fast Travel and Combo Shields (especially important in New Game+ modes), as well as significant optimization improvements and regular bug fixes. And as always, we want to know your thoughts on the latest changes, so dont be shy, and share your feedback either via our Discord channel, Facebook, or Twitter!

Update #28 Attention all citizens, the alien invasion continues to spread!

***THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT CENTRE*** Last night our intelligence informed us that new alien military units are preparing to invade Earth the enemy is reinforcing its assault with several classes of alien troops, the likes of which have never been seen before. It looks like command level species have arrived this time, alongside additional infantry and technological advancements. Our field agents have sent the following descriptions:

1. Officer/Miniboss rank

Hive Guardian a flying unit, it may resemble a hybrid of Earths bees and moths. Spits deadly projectiles of unknown origin. Very dangerous.

Combat Fighter a disk-shaped aerial unit, last seen in Roswell, 1947. Armed with a powerful laser, as well as several cannons. Avoid direct confrontation.

Assault Commander another flight-capable enemy, the last of the three miniboss-level ranked units. Moves in an irregular, unpredictable pattern. Shoots blue-colored projectiles from its four powerful cannons. Approach with extreme caution.

2. Infantry/Common rank

Two new, never before seen bio-engineered aliens beware of their stealthy attacks. They scatter their pathogens and cause excruciating damage, which is likely to be lethal.

3. Technological aids/Traps

A new kind of energy-based trap system has also been observed. When you spot these, be agile and act fast.

CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL BADASS HEROES. EARTH NEEDS YOU! *** Help us fight the invasion. If you see anything unusual, spot bugs or have anything to say to help us dont hesitate to contact your nearest Civil Defense Post here, or on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AwesomeGamesStudio/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/AwesomeGamesStd). ***THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT CENTRE***
