☼ Hedon 1.5.2 (Now on GOG) ☼

[Zan]

1.2.0 is up! Check the main post for info.

TL;DR: Important bugfixes, custom crosshairs, tweaks and balancing and most importantly - ambient sound overhaul for all the levels

Minor comments, since I'm still working my way through, but there's two bugs I noticed in Errant Signal:

---

A) I'm assuming it's intentional, but only two of the easter egg comments made by Abhaoth when she reveals who the elf witch is (the first "hurry up" comment and the "...what are you looking at?" if you look at a specific place :V) remain in the console. The other 'hurry up' comments up to "I can't wait until I get my claws on you" aren't there.

B) Occasionally, if I get murdered by a Nithriel projection, I drop a Fragfire Cannon.

This is all on GZDooM 4.

I'll save my comments about keyhunting and level direction until after I'm done, I think.

[Zan]

Weird, all messages are coded to log so maybe it's a GZDoom 4 bug if you say you're running it with it?
And I've fixed the other issue hopefully, thanks!

[Zan]

Hedon's released on Steam guys! Thanks to everyone who supported the development!

It's the latest version (check the new stuff in the changelog in the main post). You can obviously still get 1.2.0 for free on IndieDB and itch.io
Still using GZDoom 3.4.1 for various reasons, but the future chapter will be moved to the latest engine version, whenever it will get in the works.
Have fun!

Oh shit I didn't think you would get on Steam this soon, gratz Zan!

Please consider submitting to GoG: https://www.gog.com/indie -- I'm excited to see you take this commercial, you deserve it, but I don't like DRM and prefer not to buy things on Steam!

[Rachael]

I will definitely be buying a gift copy of this game as soon as I can afford it. The amount of work invested into this thing is definitely worth it.

[Zan]

Thanks a lot guys!
Hedon doesn't have any DRM on Steam afaik, at least from my part. Basically you can just remove the game from the steam app folder and play it. At least for me it worked.

Oooh you sneaky sneaky, I saw you get rid of that painting in the great stump once i walked past it

There's a bunch of level manipulation around, but most of it is subtle and not meant to be noticed by the player ;p

If the reasons are either performance or old hardware compatibility, consider switching to LZDoom.

[MrRumbleRoses]

i just so happened to have had money to get this on Steam

[Zan]

Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it.
Also planning to switch to GZDoom 4 for the next episode release, so I can have plenty of time to adapt to it and iron out any potential bugs caused in the first episode.

Dear Zan ...
Can it be that in Map04 (Technical Space) we have to help a restless Blacksmith to get some nice Items? Nice Secret, in fact. ^-^ I also like Ghost Stories. ^-^

I also like the art of sprites in the game.
Really good Job! ^-^

WOW!
And a hostile Shadow Abhaoth hiding in an inscription in Map05 suddenly appears? (quite unreachable without cheating) Was this actor for testing purposes?
What else is hidden?

[Zan]

Yeah the Shadow Abhaoth was there as an easter egg thingy to mess with explorers.

There's several other easter eggs and stuff like that, but I don't want to spoil anything. Most of them have been found, but there's still few that remain hidden.
