- Win a complete set of Razer Chroma equipment! - 30 July 2021
Hey friends! July 2021 is a very special month for us at Headup and three of our developers as well! We released three games over the last weeks: Lost At Sea, Gigapocalypse and today Escape from Naraka. And all three games include Razer Chroma support! Why's that? Because Chroma allows you to extend the atmosphere of the game beyond the screen through the mouse, keyboard, headset and mouse pad, which is a pretty cool thing! And if you own a Philips Hue set; if it's linked with Chroma, it illuminates the entire room in the colors of the game. Ingenious! ːsteamhappyː Also, because we want you to dive deeper into our Chroma-optimized games, we are giving away a complete set of Razer Chroma equipment: How to take part? Just follow this link to our sweepstakes page on Gleam and follow the instructions: https://gleam.io/QylI2/win-razer-chroma-equipment-escape-from-naraka-gigapocalypse-lost-at…
- Welcome to the hellish depths: Escape from Naraka is out now! Do you dare? - 29 July 2021
Greetings, escapees! First things first: ESCAPE FROM NARAKA IS OUT NOW! ːsteamhappyː Here is the release trailer to prove it: We really can't be more happy about this! Escape from Naraka is our very first release as an independent indie studio and this really feels awesome! Like in all the rest of the world, the last few months have not been easy for us as well, so we are all the more proud that everything finally worked out. Developing a game means many months with a bunch of ups and downs; any developer will tell you that. But the feeling of happiness at the release is worth it all! We hope you have as much fun playing Escape from Naraka as we had developing the game. For us, as this tiny 3 dev team that we are, it was and still is a great honor to collaborate with Nvidia to bring RTX and DLSS to life in the game. This makes us the very first Indonesian developer that shipped a game w…

- Escape from Naraka supports DLSS and Ray-Tracing for release! - 21 July 2021
Greetings, escapees! Even if we are just a small three dev indie team, we want to make our game shine as good as possible. This is one of the reasons why we decided to develop Escape from Naraka on Epic's Unreal Engine 4. It is a very powerful tool! This is also the reason why our ways crossed with Nvidia. When they offered us the opportunity to work with them on implementing Ray-Tracing and DLSS to Escape from Naraka, we didn't have to think twice before saying "Yes!". Because for us as a small three-person development team, it's a great honor to work with Nvidia. Like a dream come true! Of course, we asked ourselves beforehand whether Escape from Naraka could benefit from DLSS and Ray-Tracing. And since it's a mix of runner and platformer including Steam Leaderboards, and it is up to the player to achieve the best possible time, the extra FPS won't hurt. DLSS? Check! Although players…
