Beyond Sunset News

[p]Hi there!
[/p][p]If you’re new here, you might not know that Beyond Sunset is a GZDoom-based game. This engine, based on the old tech that powered the OG Doom I & II, has a quirk that makes save files unusable after every update. To mitigate this, there is an option in the game’s main menu to start playing from any episode. Now we have also added a possibility to continue playing without updating the game, using old saves.[/p][p][/p][p]To switch pre-update branch and continue using old save files:
[/p]

• [p]Open your Steam game library.[/p]
• [p]Find Beyond Sunset.[/p]
• [p]Click RMB on the game's title.[/p]
• [p]From the dropdown menu, select "Properties…".[/p]
• [p]Navigate to "Betas" tab.[/p]
• [p]In the "Beta Participation" option, open the dropdown.[/p]
• [p]Select "previous - Previous live build".[/p]
• [p]The game should update automatically (if not, trigger the update manually by clicking on the Update button).[/p]

[p][/p][p]If you are on GOG:
[/p]

• [p]Open your GOG library.[/p]
• [p]Select Beyond Sunset.[/p]
• [p]Select the Options button (located next to the "Play" button).[/p]
• [p]From the dropdown select "Manage installation" → "Configure…"[/p]
• [p]In the "Installation" tab, open the dropdown for "Beta channels".[/p]
• [p]Select "Previous" from the dropdown.[/p]
• [p]Close this window by clicking "OK".[/p]
• [p]The game should update automatically (if not, trigger the update manually by clicking on the Update button).
  [/p]

[p]With every update, we will move the deprecated version to this branch. We may create additional branches if necessary, for example, if there are frequent updates in a short period.

To play the latest version, choose the branch “Latest” or “None”.
[/p][p]A big thank you to the community for suggesting this solution! Stay in touch.[/p][p]The Movie Games Team[/p]

[p]Hey everyone!

The full release is finally here! The devs at Metacorp have worked tirelessly to bring you the full experience of Beyond Sunset. Now, with 5 episodes, 29 enemies, 4 bosses, 5 weapons, and 39 player upgrades, you can accompany Lucy, our street samurai, in her (quite violent) search for lost memories.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]
Thank you for being with us from the Early Access stage. It’s been a ride! For new players, we decided to retain the EA price, and drop an additional discount. Also, don’t forget about the wonderful synth soundtrack by Karl Vincent, which can also grab and vibe to while on long night drives.

Now, go and rule the streets![/p][p]

[p]Street Samurai!

If you like retro shooters or action games to have a certain edge to them - an edge of Katana’s blade to cut through your enemies, for instance - then you’ll like this. [/p][p]
We will have the honor of releasing the game and showing you the new release trailer during the Brutal Indies Unleashed event! Reserved only for _bloody_ good indie titles, it’s a great place to be for us.[/p][p]
Also, a couple of release facts.
