Blood Moon Massacre
I'm excited to announce the newest Siphon Shock project, Blood Moon Massacre. It's a 2D horde shooter where you'll build a fortress, set traps, upgrade, and shoot your way through swarms of bloodthirsty monsters. See if you can survive the night. Though very different from HyperL

HyperLeague Heroes launched just over two years ago.
On release it was lacking many features and should have spent much more time in development, but over time, thanks to feedback from players it slowly grew into a much more complete and polished experience. I've grown so much as a developer and although HLH is still not perfect, I've had so much fun working on it and it's been amazing to hear some players say that it's their favorite idle game.
With that being said, there are no more major updates planned for HyperLeague Heroes. That's not to say that there won't be any, but player engagement has been stagnant for quite some time. I had hoped that it would increase by adding new enhancements and player-requested features, but that hasn't been the case, and since games cost time and money to create it doesn't make sense to keep going. At least for now.
Here are some updates that were planned:

Alternate story path where you play from the perspective of one of the Dark Lord's generals, creating an army to defeat the HyperLeague Heroes and Earth's militaries to conquer the planet
Doubling the amount of playable units
Unit variants
A Japanese-themed stage with ninja, samurai, and yokai units
A pirate-themed stage
As of right now, 7.0 will be the last major update. In case you missed it, gambits were added to allow players to script custom ally behaviors.
I'll soon continue work on a project that I began prototyping a little while ago, and I'll use all the knowledge I gained from HLH to make the best game that I can. Thanks again to everyone who played HyperLeague Heroes over the years. Until next time!

New Unit - Alejandro
Alejandro rocks into battle as one of HLH's most unique characters gameplay-wise. Similar to Nurse he is a 100% support-oriented unit, but with a twist. Alejandro has two modes, Idle Mode (when in the back position), and Rocker Mode (when in the center or front of the formation).

Here's what's been added to HyperLeague Heroes since the last announcement.
Save Slots
Want to start from scratch? If you've been playing for a while you may want a fresh start since new features are constantly being added. Or maybe you want to try out different setups without committing in your main save. Now you can have up to 5 saves.
Archetypes
In one of my favorite recent updates, units can now be given archetypes which are specific behaviors that further customize the way your team battles.

Leader - all status effects applied to this unit are passed on to all teammates
Defender - unit is unable to use regular attacks but takes 60% less damage
Berserker - unit is unable to use special attacks but critical hit rate is increased by +10%
Gadgeteer - using items instantly readies this unit's special attacks
Medic - unit heals weakest teammate each turn but becomes unable to use regular attacks
Survivor - unit survives with 1 hp and gains 15 seconds invincibility when hp > 1 and hit by an attack that would k.o.
Apprentice - unit is unable to use regular attacks but gains 2x exp
Rusher - unit deals and receives 30% more damage
Ghost - unit won't be targeted by enemies unless there are no other possible targets
Lone wolf - attack +50% when this unit is the only active hero in the party
Archetypes are unlocked by logging in. They can be assigned to units from the Party menu or by right-clicking in battle and selecting an archetype from the details panel.
Requests
Previously you were limited to 5 requests per day. Now you can take on an unlimited number of requests which means tons of loot and rewards are at your fingertips to speed up your progression.
Spring roadmap coming soon. I'm currently playing FF7 Rebirth so taking a little break. :)
