1 Month anniversary, Patch roundup and Soundtrack!

One month anniversary

Today Hypogea turns a month old! - Is what I would say if I had made this event in time... Still, I really wanted to express how thankful I am to see so many people playing and enjoying the game, and I can't express how glad I am to see the reception it has had. Thank you all so much.

Updates round-up

As you might have noticed, a lot of patches and hotfixes have been pushed since the game launched, without much details about their contents, so here's a non-exhaustive list of some of the fixes that have been done since release:

• Fixed a had blocker that got you stuck after skipping the cutscenes when returning from level 4

• Fixed many potential softlocks in levels 2, 3, 4 and 5

• Fixed some of the sequence triggers in Chapter 6 which were triggering too early and making said chapter too hard

• Fixed some sounds not being assigned to the proper audio channel (especially a certain explosion sound that bypassed the game's volume setting, sorry about that!)

• Fixed an issue with the 'Raising the bar' achievement that made it too easy to get

• Reworked how the 'Collect-a-thon' and 'Recollector' achievements are triggered to make them more reliable

• Reworked some of the player character animation transitions and code to improve overall navigation and avoid some movements triggering when they shouldn't

• Many additional level design tweaks & improvements

• Added tutorials for switching the direction of the minecart when going in the 'wrong' direction

• Added a tutorial on how to rotate the camera when interacting with the first recollection

• Added cloud saves

• Added Simplified Chinese localization

There were lots of other smaller tweaks and fixes but those are the main ones.

Hypogea Original Soundtrack

To celebrate Hypogea's (late) one-month birthday, the game's soundtrack is now available on Youtube!

You can listen to it right here:

And that's pretty much it for this announcement!

Again, thanks everyone for playing Hypogea, and have a great rest of your day!
