Ho ho ho, platformers!

We have a question for you: Have you all been good this year? ... It better be "yes", because otherwise we'll send Santa Nate and his little helper Nugget by you homes, just in time for the holiday season! Have you guys seen Violent Night? I don't think I need to say more...

Or you download the fresh-from-the-oven update of Hell Pie and get the new Christmas outfits for Nate and Nugget for FREE. Just drop by Asmodei's shop in the Hell Inc. office and you'll soon be the proud owner of the new Christmas outfits. Unbelievable, isn't it? 🎅👼🏻

Guys, the year 2022 was a really exciting one for us in many ways. We (finally) released Hell Pie after five (long) years of development. You all received our little game so positively, and we're super happy about that! When you work on a project for so damn long, you eventually lose sight of how good or bad it is halfway through.... It was a hell of a ride, thanks a bunch for joining us on it!

After five years of Hell Pie, we are now working on something else. Let's see when the time is right and we can share some information with you. Fingers crossed for 2023! ✨

Have all restful, contemplative and happy holidays and a happy new year before all the hustle and bustle starts all over again in the coming year!

Festive greetings and kisses!
Sluggerfly out ❤️

Trick or treat, platformers!

Sound familiar? Yeah, exactly. It's that time of year again, when hordes of poorly disguised kids stumble from front door to front door, ringing doorbells and yelling "trick or treat." And if the proclaimed sweets are not handed out, they embellish the house with raw eggs. So, at best, with eggs....

And you guessed it: Nate and Nugget are of course at the forefront of such annoying and childish shit! HELL YEAH! 🤘 Ah sorry, it's not Nate and Nugget anymore - it's Johnson and Frederick now:

Both new costumes are available AS OF NOW in Asmodee's shop at Hell Inc. Uhm... and one piece of well-intentioned advice: If our hellish duo ring your doorbell, you'd better open. You've seen what happens to the cute little Unilambs in Hell Pie, right? ...

And in case you missed it: It's spooky Steam Scream Fest time! That's why Frederick made a good use of his bladed gloves and sliced the Hell Pie price by 20%. Good job, Frederick! We are really proud of you!

Happy Helloween with Johnson and Frederick!

Grüß Gott, dear platformers!

Happy Saturday, friends of filthy platforming!

You might have discovered Hell Pie on the Steam front page, right? Correct peeps, we are running a Daily Deal at the moment! Woohoo! This is really a great thing and an even bigger honor for us as a small indie studio. We are really happy about every extra pair of eyes that sees our beloved platformer! ːsteamhappyː

Hell Pie sees you grab the horns of Nate, the "Demon of Bad Taste". He is given the honorable task of gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie. To do so, Nate must venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there’ll be hell to pay!

We released the new update 1.1.3 to Hell Pie yesterday, which implements two brand-new outfits as well as some changes and improvements that were brought to us by you, our awesome community! And we are not done yet - if you have some feedback to share, please do. It's really valuable to us, and we read and analyze everything we get. Promise! ❤️

We hope you enjoy playing the game as much as we did developing it!

Have a great time swinging with Nate and Nugget!

Dearest platformers,

We may only be a small, insignificant indie developer from the Ruhrpott (industrial rural Germany at its best), but we also snuggle with the big ones. Ey, we do (nearly) everything for fame!

And that's how we ended up adding Chroma to Hell Pie one fine day. You know, Chroma is this fancy technology that accesses the RGB lighting of your Razer peripherals and thus enhances what's happening on the screen to "real live". We added quite a lot of Chroma effects lately, for example base colors for the different worlds, effects for collectables, the hellish horns, etc.

And the best is yet to come: We are giving away a complete set of Razer Chroma equipment:

You want to participate in the sweepstakes? Awesome! Just follow this link to our raffle page on Gleam and follow the instructions: https://gleam.io/CAbJ4/win-razer-chroma-equipment-hell-pie

Good luck everyone!

Happy Friday, pie lovers!

Unfortunately, we have been too busy in the last few weeks to continue working on updates for Hell Pie... You know, with things like surviving gamescom in an alcoholic stupor, counting the massive amounts of money we earned with Hell Pie, ... The usual (indie game dev) stuff.

But (surprisingly) somehow we made it! And so I proudly present the Hell Pie update version 1.1.3:

• Added a Squirrel outfit for Nate and a Bee outfit for Nugget
  
• Added Superhero outfits for Nate and Nugget
  
• Club Luxoria collision fix (it was possible to get stuck behind a toilet)
  
• Various dialogue fixes
  
• Improved sharpness for various textures
  
• Various minor level design fixes

Compared to the last update, the changes here are quite manageable, that's true.... But hey, with this update you get two damn cool new outfits:

And finally - for all those of you that can't exist without the catchy and calm tunes of the Hell Pie soundtrack anymore - there is a good news: As of now, the Hell Pie soundtrack is available here on Steam. So, treat yourself:

Greetings platformers!

We hope you had a lovely week so far. We definitely have! Honestly, we are so F*CKING BLOWN AWAY by the awesome feedback we received (and receive) for Hell Pie! Holy moly! When working on a game like Hell Pie, you constantly get comments like "Grow up!", "I can't see how this is funny!" or "What kind of late-pubescent garbage is this?". And even worse. Not that we're not used to it....

But: We are damn proud of this "late-pubescent garbage" that we've done! In your face, you bores and buzzkills!

And that's exactly why it's so good to see that we get such awesome feedback. Hey, we've been working on Hell Pie for 5 long years. Sure, it's nothing compared to Duke Nukem Forever, but it's still a long time.

But no one is flawless. And so, even after all the years of hard work and endless optimization, there are still a few bugs hidden in Hell Pie. (And not just the one in the server room!) But because we love you all soooooo much (and because we got some reports, ideas and feedback from you) we are working on the first update which should be released soon. But there is no exact date yet. At the latest when the residual alcohol from the release party has finally disappeared from our bloodstream... (Man, it was a hell of a night... But, what happens in Essen stays in Essen!)

Among other things, we will address the following issues with the first update:

• The dialogs of Nugget will be deactivatable
  
• The Auto Cam will be deactivatable
  
• The dialogs of Nugget will - if activated - be triggered less often
  
• The bug of the no longer spawning tickets at Dr. Jell will be fixed

Other than that, we're cleaning up some small stuff in Hell Pie: spelling mistakes, missing translations, holes in the maps (wherever they come from...). We will of course let you know asap once the update is available!

And I can almost smell the question growing in your heads: Will there be more content for Hell Pie in the future? A good question, but so far there is no answer. There will definitely be updates with more costumes. But whether there will be new levels, DLCs, etc. will ultimately be decided by how successful Hell Pie will be overall. We have a lot of ideas, that's for sure. We will keep you up to date.

Have a great time swinging with Nate and Nugget!
