- No Walls In Heaven and the future of REDSHOT - 28 February 2026
Hey everyone! Long time no see. If you haven't heard the news via my other platforms, I've recently just announced my next game that should be landing sometime in 2027 if all goes according to plan: No Walls In Heaven, a first-person exploration platformer and shooter that combines the massive artifical citysapes of Nihei's Blame! with the innovation and forward thinking gameplay philosophy of games like Valve's half-life series. You can check out the game here: I'm currently in the middle of development, so still a ways to go yet, but it's all coming together very nicely so far, and quite frankly I'm shocked at how smoothly development is going compared to the hellish process of REDSHOT's development (which no doubt many of you have noticed via the plethora of random bugs present in that game, especially on release).Speaking of REDSHOT's development, a lot of you may wonder what happen…
- Grenade and Sawdisc hotfix - 23 January 2024
This is a very small hotfix that just fixes grenades and Disc Saws not being usable, a bug that was introduced in the last patch due to a spelling change. Whoops! ːsteamfacepalmː

- [v1.2.3] Minor fixes and Polish - 23 August 2023
PATCH NOTES v1.2.3 (v1.2.2.1) This is a small update that fixes some minor bugs and issues. I forgot to update the version number on the title screen, so it still says v1.2.2, but that's fine honestly since this is such a small patch. You may even consider this to be v1.2.2.1, if you feel so numerically inclined. Either way, I'll have another patch out soon that will fix the version number on the title screen; I didn't realize this until I already published on steam. So it goes. Full patch notes below: Fix mines not sticking properly to walls; now they will properly stick to any solid surface you throw them on to Improve slugger enemy for more consistent behavior Improve enemy knockback behavior when hit by bullets to prevent unwanted behavior Slight improvements to bullet collision code Fix player collision check bug with doors and destructable terrain: you will no longer get stuck in…
- [v1.2.2] Stability, Bug Fixes, and Polish - 16 August 2023
PATCH NOTES v1.2.2 This is a moderately sized stability update that fixes many of the new problems and bugs that have cropped up since 1.2.0. The last two updates were a lot buggier than I thought... I had to rewrite the way player death works in order to get multiplayer functioning correctly, and unfortunately that introduced a lot of new bugs that I didn't catch beforehand related to player death, among other bugs and crashes that I just didn't foresee. So, my apologies for the unstable last few patches! This update will hopefully address most of the issues, I played through the game twice to make sure and it seems to work fine for me, but nevertheless if anyone finds more serious bugs feel free to reach out and I'll fix them as quickly as I can. Anyway, full patch notes below: Fix crash when starting a new game (introduced in 1.2.1) Fix crash if player dies during final boss second p…

- [v1.2.0] Multiplayer Update, and 1-Year Anniversary! - 2 August 2023
Patch Notes Today marks exactly 1 year since the official release of REDSHOT! I've had so much fun working on this game over the past year and beyond, and I want to thank everybody for their support with this major free update adding up to 4 player local co-op and a host of other improvements. Online play should work with steam remote play, but I have not personally tested this. Huge thanks to everyone who has bought and played the game, or otherwise supported me making this silly little thing over the years. Looking back over the past year since release there's been many things I think I could have done better at the time, but I think the game is in the best state its ever been and I personally still have fun playing it after hundreds of hours of work and playtesting, and now with multiplayer support, the potential longevity of the game has increased massively. Thank you for playing an…
