Greetings, everyone!
We have a big update for you today! Thanks to your feedback, we have added several quality of life improvements, such as a new option for killed enemies to drop loot on the ground instead of having to rummage through corpses' inventories, better balanced lighting and improvements to inventory management and UI readability, among many others. We have also squashed numerous pesky bugs and crashes, especially those related to the inventory system.
To celebrate this occasion, we have also put the game on a 20% discount as part of the Fulqrum Publisher Sale - so if you want to treat yourself, or get an early Christmas present for a loved one, this is a great opportunity!
Before you jump off to browse those deals, or just skip down to the full list of changes and fixes at the end of this article, a few words from the developer himself:
"Thank you to everyone who has played HYPERVIOLENT so far. I really appreciate all of the feedback I’ve received. HYPERVIOLENT definitely does not play like most other games in the genre, and this may have taken some players by shock initially, but I am dedicated to ironing out the experience for players who appreciate the game’s slower, more nuanced take on the retro shooter genre." - nfoPRINCE
As you can see, we are commited to keep working on the game and supporting it with further patches. If you find any bugs, technical issues or have any suggestions for how to improve the game, please, share them with us here in the comments, in the Steam Discussions, or come to the Fulqrum Publishing Discord server .

Full Change Log
New Features
Added a floodlight to the Personal Transport Vessel, per player feedback.
Added a quicker "Take All Items" button to the loot screen. This will indiscriminately take items and will not remove ammunition from weapons; the player can still choose to do that manually during looting or in their inventory.
Added an option for "Auto-Drop Loot." This can be turned on or off at any time and causes enemies to drop their items on the ground at death. Drop rates are exactly the same. This removes the looting process but gives a more classic shooter feel.
The generic cursor is now the default for UI instead of the red gloved hand.
Fixes & Improvements
Fixed numerous crashes related to the inventory.
Improved inventory alignment when placing and picking up items.
It is now more obvious when the player is discarding an item from their inventory.
Improved gamepad control for the inventory.
Improved gamepad sensitivity; the player can now look around at a more reasonable speed.
Fixed a crash that occurred if the player died while looting a corpse.
Fixed issues with the player falling through the floor after leaving the Personal Transport Vessel.
Fixed numerous broken achievements.
Fixed slowdown related to blood splatters when striking enemies with projectile weapons.
Fixed issues where the player could fall out of the Engineering Level during low gravity.
Fixed an issue where the game did not auto-save after the Valentine Mech boss fight.
Fixed an issue where the player would inadvertently use health items or grenades while looting (gamepad).
Fixed the item duplication and item vanishing glitch near the edge of the inventory screen.
Balance Tweaks
Rebalanced lighting for the entire game, removing total darkness. Even without the flashlight, the player now has some limited visibility.
Improved font style for much of the UI to be more readable.
Rebalanced the shotgun to make it more powerful.
Rebalanced some enemy alert sounds.
Rebalanced the HMG; it now fires faster.
Improved overall game performance on most machines. (Laptops with external displays may still have slowdown issues; we are still working on this.)
Rebalanced drop tables for loot again based on player feedback (more ammo, especially in later levels, and fewer health items).

Full Change Log of the v1.0.0.3 update:
Yellow Nanocard crash no longer happens, and it should be possible to continue playing from the affected save files
Weapon, Ammo and health vial drops rebalanced
1440p resolution added
Post processing can be disabled from the "options => graphics" menu for bloom, grain, and depth of field. Disabling bloom should fix the issue with overly bright light sources some players have reported.
Dialogue for Russian language no longer cuts off early.
Tutorial typos have been corrected, and the tutorial no longer waits too long to go to the next section.
Green LMG Zombie's Alert sound volume has been decreased and tweaked

Hello Everyone!
We are working hard on a patch with various fixes and tweaks based on your reports; most notable, the fix to the game-breaking bug happening when you find the yellow nanocard. And while the updated version shows promise, thorough testing is still required before its full release. Your help with this process would be invaluable, that's why the new update has been made available as an open beta here on Steam.
If you do decide to give it a go, first of all - huge thanks! And second, if you run into any issues, please report them either here in the comments, in Steam Discussions, or come to the Fulqrum Publishing Discord server and let us know there. Just specify that the report you're making is for the open beta.
To access the beta branch, head to your Steam Library, right-click HYPERVIOLENT, left-click Properties, left-click Betas and from the drop-down menu select the option "update_beta". Your game will then update to the desired version.
You can find the following fixes and changes in the update beta:
Yellow Nanocard crash no longer happens, and it should be possible to continue playing from the affected save files
Weapon, Ammo and health vial drops rebalanced
1440p resolution added
Post processing can be disabled from the menu for bloom, grain, and depth of field.

The Autumn Sale is here, and HYPERVIOLENT is now 20% off, the first discount since its full launch last week! If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to dive into the chaos, this is it – grab your weapons, steel your mind and face the horrors of the mining colony like never before.
While the game is out of Early Access and fully released, that doesn’t mean we are no longer working on improving it, quite the contrary - case in point, HYPERVIOLENT is still listed as “unsupported” on Steam Deck, because of technical issues with the OLED model. We are working on a patch to be released soon, and can already share footage from that, so you can see that the progress is definitely being made:
Owners of the original Steam Deck model should have a pleasant gaming experience with the current public version of the game; we completely understand if you wish to wait until we get the official “green checkmark” from Steam however, in which case we recommend you wishlist the game, so you don’t miss out announcement when that happens. And of course, we are working on further technical improvements in the upcoming patch, not just for Steam Deck - such as 1440p resolution support.
Last, but not least, we’ve just rolled out the popular Steam community items: trading cards, badges, emoticons, and profile backgrounds. Now your battle for survival comes with a collectible twist – show off your dedication while slicing through the enemies.
The wait is over. After significant updates based on community feedback, and gallons of pixelated blood spilled during Early Access, HYPERVIOLENT is now fully launched! What started as a brutal retro-inspired experiment has now become a fully realized boomer shooter nightmare wit
The wait is over. After significant updates based on community feedback, and gallons of pixelated blood spilled during Early Access, HYPERVIOLENT is now fully launched!
What started as a brutal retro-inspired experiment has now become a fully realized boomer shooter nightmare with immersive sim elements – and it’s all thanks to YOU, the players who stuck with us through the chaos.
The full game features 14 detailed areas set inside the remote asteroid mining station, 19 unique enemy types and 5 terrifying bosses, which you’ll be able to fight back with weapons of your choice from an arsenal of 22 ranged and melee armaments. We’ve also added a number of general optimization improvements and quality of life updates to smooth out the gameplay experience, and you can look forward to a total of 29 Steam achievements ready to be unlocked.
The journey is not over yet, though! Now it’s up to you to carry the torch and let us know how you feel about HYPERVIOLENT. We are open to any feedback you might have, don’t hesitate to reach out here on Steam or on Fulqrum Publishing’s Discord server. A really good way to support the game is by writing a positive review on Steam, so keep those coming as well!
Based on the feedback we’ll get, we plan to deliver post-launch patches, fixes, and maybe even some surprises.
What’s more, we want to mention that the game is currently compatible with and fully playable on Steam Deck, and we’re moving toward getting it officially Verified by Steam as soon as possible. That said, we’ve run into an issue on OLED Steam Decks, where players may experience some minor stuttering during gameplay. We’re already working hard on a fix and will let you know as soon as it’s resolved.
From the entire dev team: thank you for blasting through Early Access with us. Your feedback, bug reports, and wild ideas shaped the game into what it is today.
And if you don’t have enough boomer-shooting, check out the Boomstock Steam event that HYPERVIOLENT’s a part of!

Hello everyone!
The wait is over. Get your personal data-pads ready and mark your calendars for September 23rd – as that’s when version 1.0 of HYPERVIOLENT officially goes live, bringing the story of the lone survivor exploring the dark corridors of the evil-infested I.E.C. Commodus station to its conclusion.
As you'd expect from a full release, the game will be packed with a great amount of content – enough to keep you playing for 10+ hours. You'll explore 14 detailed areas set inside the remote asteroid mining station, face off against 19 unique enemy types and 5 terrifying bosses, and fight back with weapons of your choice from an arsenal of 22 ranged and melee armaments. We’ve also added a number of general optimization improvements and quality of life updates to smooth out the gameplay experience, and you can look forward to a total of 29 Steam achievements ready to be unlocked.
We want to sincerely thank all of you for supporting us throughout development with your comments, suggestions, and feedback that have been invaluable in shaping the game into what it is today. We truly appreciate it and can't wait for you to play HYPERVIOLENT in its complete form.
If you'd like to support the game's development further, the best thing you can do is leave us a review here on Steam – every positive review makes a big difference, especially for an indie game like HYPERVIOLENT. But if you'd rather wait for the full release, that's perfectly fine! In that case, don’t forget to Wishlist and Follow the game, and keep an eye on the News section for more updates on version 1.0.
You can also help by reporting bugs or sharing constructive feedback. The best places are the Steam Discussions or, even better, the Fulqrum Publishing Discord, where you can chat directly with the lead developer, Daniel.
To top it all off, the release of HYPERVIOLENT marks the start of our Steam event Boomstock 2025 – an annual digital festival of boomer shooters and retro-inspired FPS games. Expect a curated lineup of first-person shooters, bloody good discounts, and a showcase packed with announcements, new trailers, and updates, all kicking off on September 23.

Hello everyone!
Lock and load, smash the lights, and brace yourself – HYPERVIOLENT is 20% off during the Steam Summer Sale! If you've been waiting to dive into the pixelated chaos, now’s the perfect time to unleash hell.
And while you're blasting your way through the corridors, we thought it’d be a great time to pull back the curtain and talk a bit about the game's development and its technical background. A detailed summarizing video can be found below the article.
Inspired by the original System Shock & Azrael's Tear, we tell stories in HYPERVIOLENT using a combination of visual elements, sonic clues, and lore-driven bread crumbs to paint a picture for the player.
Throughout the game world are data-pads and terminals, each containing logs left by the occupants of COMMODUS 27-C. Of course this is nothing new in the horror genre, but we try to bring a truly hand-crafted touch to it. The entries span routine maintenance notes, personal diary fragments, and last-minute distress calls, creating a layered timeline of station life before everything went wrong. Many characters have unique plots that intertwine with each other, and with the game map's pathing and obstacles.
All of the game's text is saved in multi-language json format, possibly even allowing for players to mod the game in the future. We hope the many logs sprawled throughout the game world will fully immerse the player, as well as reward them with easter eggs, video game, and literary references---- and maybe even a Steam Achievement for finding them all ;)
The next part of telling a story is creating a convincing visual world. The style HYPERVIOLENT lives in is a sharp 90s aesthetic, somewhere between the pulsing pixels of the immersive sim genre, and a PS1-esque rough polygonal jitter. That deliberate visual middle-ground lets us celebrate two eras of retro tech at once. Grungy, visceral, outline-less pixel art is used as much as possible, for textures, weapons, pickups, enemies, and all of the player's roto-scoped hand animations. This gives HYPERVIOLENT its own visual language.
For the environments, as well as for doo-dads and machinery aboard the COMMODUS station, we employ low-poly true 3D. Moving parts, gears, valves, and flickering monitors all reinforce the sense of a once working facility. Our maps are brush based, created in Trenchbroom, and then run through a custom visibility bake in blender, which removes any polygons outside the gameplay area, leaving only the visible faces.
All of our textures are point filtered, which gives a crisp pixelly look, over the blurry look of traditionally mipmapped or bileanar filtered textures. Lowering polygon count is also very important, as HYPERVIOLENT was built in a scripting language primarily intended for 2D. A bold choice on our part, but we believe limitation sometimes creates the most interesting art.
Take a look below at some behind-the-scenes footage of crafting models, map-wireframes, and implementing game lore.

Hello everyone! It is with great excitement that as a part of the Lovecraftian Days event, we bring you a surprise Content Update #3 for HYPERVIOLENT. We know that you have waited patiently, through our rocky development roadmap, and we'd like to thank you with this bonus content
Hello everyone!
It is with great excitement that as a part of the Lovecraftian Days event, we bring you a surprise Content Update #3 for HYPERVIOLENT. We know that you have waited patiently, through our rocky development roadmap, and we'd like to thank you with this bonus content.
This update to the game addresses numerous bugs, performance issues, community suggestions (such as controller support, higher resolutions), and provides more depth to the game's immersive-sim mechanics.
Before we fully launch the content update to the public, though, we will open a beta branch on Steam where the update will be available to play for anyone who owns HYPERVIOLENT. The reason we're doing this is to make sure the build with the current update is stable and contains no major issues. After we're sure it's good to go, we'll update the public branch with the current update too.
To access the beta branch, head to your Steam Library, right-click HYPERVIOLENT, left-click Properties, left-click Betas and from the drop-down menu select the option "update_beta". Your game will then update to the desired version. We can't wait to hear what you think!
The whole list of changes and additional content can be found below the article.
The lead developer has also prepared a personal statement regarding the game's upcoming full release that he'd like to share with you.
"Greetings, HYPERVIOLENT fans and critics alike. I wanted to take a few moments to thank each and every one of you for your continued support, feedback, and interest in this passion project of mine. What started as a small billboard sprite experiment in 2018, has taken on a life of its own, with now thousands of people exploring its haunted corridors in search of answers for what really happened on Commodus Asteroid 27-C. Firstly, let's address the roadmap. The game has now been in Early Access for a little less than two years, which is behind schedule, and in that time, I've learned alot about what the community expects, and exactly how difficult it can be to develop a full-blown indie game. As we leave Early Access in the coming months, I will be a lot more active in the Fulqrum Discord, and in the Steam Discussion forums, answering questions and taking feedback.
Some people have pointed out apparent development inactivity in the year of 2024, and while we never stopped developing, there were definitely reasons for the slowdown. I experienced the sudden loss of both of my parents, as well as the death of a close-friend and frequent collaborator on the game itself at the end of the year. During this time we also restructured our studio, resulting in HYPERVIOLENT now being finished under the nfoPRINCE banner, one formed especially for this game.
All this to say, I know it's been a journey, but my unwavering mission is to deliver a truly unique video game, sincerely developed through trial-and-error. This game is unapologetically retro to its core, its design choices are deliberate, and sometimes divisive, and dare I say: it is not like other games of our time. If those are things you can get behind, then please follow us on the remainder of this HYPERVIOLENT adventure.
Stay tuned.”

Hello everyone,
It's been a little over a week since we have released the long-awaited second Content Update, with a new level, whole new spaceship flying and combat mechanic and more. What do you think about it, are you enjoying the brand-new way to experience the horrific atmosphere of HYPERVIOLENT? Please let us know either here in the comments, Steam Discussions, or on the Fulqrum Publishing Discord server!
And for those who have not yet had a chance to play the new content, we have prepared a gameplay trailer for the new level, Viscera of Commodus:
We are now working on finalizing the content for the full launch of the game - new levels, new weapons, more story/lore elements, full localization to German, Simplified Chinese and Russian languages, and more! But in the meantime, we are of course on the lookout for any bug reports and feedback on balancing and other aspects of the game - if needed, we will produce patches before the full launch.
We truly appreciate all your support, and humbly ask for a little more patience - while we do not expect finalizing the upcoming content will take as long as preparing the new mechanics did, we are committed to bringing you an engaging and balanced gameplay experience as well as gripping story with the full launch of HYPERVIOLENT.
And we have heard you - we will do our best to provide you with more information about the progress of development moving forward.
Hello everyone! It is with utmost pleasure that we finally bring you the second Content Update for HYPERVIOLENT! It took more time than we expected, as we ran into some issues in develpment, and we humbly apologize for that. But here we are, serving you what we promised and we ho
Hello everyone!
It is with utmost pleasure that we finally bring you the second Content Update for HYPERVIOLENT!
It took more time than we expected, as we ran into some issues in develpment, and we humbly apologize for that. But here we are, serving you what we promised and we hope you like it - and to give you an idea of what awaits you, let's watch a new trailer!
Please, let us know what you think, whether it's the Content Update itself or the main game. The best place to share your feedback would be the discussion forum here on Steam, so don't hesitate to let us know what you think! The whole Change Log can be found below.
It is also important to mention that saves that you created before downloading this Content Update will not be compatible with the current build. This is, sadly, necessary for the game to work properly.
And if you don't have enough, check out the rest of the BOOMSTOCK 2024 event participants, as there are many great games running discounts, showing new trailers, adding new content or even launching!
Change Log:
Level 7 Viscera of Commodus
True 6-degree of freedom ship flying mechanic and combat
1 new weapon Arc Rifle
3 new enemies Small-Drone, Medium-Drone, Legion-Drone

Hello everyone,
The time has come again, Steam Awards are coming and HYPERVIOLENT can be a part of them! It's only up to you, the players, our beloved community!
We believe HYPERVIOLENT is a challenging game, but its difficulty is a part of the fun. That's why we would like to give it a shot in the "Best Game You Suck At Category". If you agree, just check the box on top of this announcement and we will be one step closer to getting a nomination!
Thank you all for your votes and thank you very much for playing the game! We are lucky to have such an awesome community!
If you haven't checked the game out yet, you can grab HYPERVIOLENT now at a 15% discount! The game is a part of the Fulqrum Publishing Autumn sale, so go ahead and check the sale out!
For the environments, as well as for doo-dads and machinery aboard the COMMODUS station, we employ low-poly true 3D. Moving parts, gears, valves, and flickering monitors all reinforce the sense of a once working facility. Our maps are brush based, created in Trenchbroom, and then run through a custom visibility bake in blender, which removes any polygons outside the gameplay area, leaving only the visible faces.
