IMPORTANT: Updating Hedon requires a clean reinstall - this will cause your saves to become incompatible with the new version. You can revert to an older version of the game from Properties - Betas. 2024 is here. And so is 2.4.2 It looks like yet another new year has caught me working on Hedon, although it's been quite some time since it shifted away from being my main project. Oh yes, I'm still working on a new game, but that doesn't mean I can no longer process player feedback and apply it in order to further improve Hedon :^) Can you spot the differences? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948122/69eab6e

IMPORTANT: Updating Hedon requires a clean reinstall - this will cause your saves to become incompatible with the new version. If you are sure you want to perform the update, then remove your game folder from your Steam library and re-download it. Make sure to also delete any hedon-username.ini type files from the game folder after you finish downloading, as they can get carried over by Steam cloud and mess with the update's default options and settings.

IndieDB 2022 GOTY - Player's Choice Awards I am greatly honored to have received 2nd place on this year's IndieDB Game of the Year awards, according to the player's choice! Thanks a ton for voting, I was really not expecting for Hedon to get such an overwhelming amount of love from you! I still can't believe this started as an obscure Doom mod and ended up growing so much along the years! It's been a great year for indie retro FPS games in general, and I teamed up with 1C Entertainment to bring you the other titles from this year's top ten, containing Dread Templar and Forgive Me Father along

2.1.0 IS OUT IN 1-2 DAYS FROM NOW! It's been a crazy month and I'd like to thank you all for the feedback and the crazy positive reception of Hedon Bloodrite! I believe I have finally addressed all the reported bugs, so it's time for a patch! 2.1.0 is coming very soon, it should be out before this Wednesday, 09:00 GMT. IMPORTANT As always, updating GZDoom causes your saved games to break, so you have about a couple of days from now to back your game out of Steam or turn auto updating off. Unfortunately, I no longer have the option to set the game to not auto update from the developer end. Are

A new journey awaits... Nithriel and her mangy cultists have given you a serious beating, but now that your home town has been saved, it's time to take the fight back at them! But can you stand against the imminent demonic invasion that is about to unleash upon the entire world? IMPORTANT: You need to UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL HEDON for the update to work. Steam will then create a new folder 'Hedon Bloodrite' and thus allow you to keep your old Hedon version without messing any of the files and progress you had there. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34948122/79d46f1f805e6bc3c19693b46cdde7f0bafae07e.png It's
