- Gappy's Adventure - 15 May 2025
Hi Everyone! Long time no see! 2 years ago I made a post on here talking about STDs 1 Year anniversary. In that post, other than reflecting on how crazy it's been that a year has gone by I talked about a BIG update that was coming and how it would be coming soon. I think it goes without saying that that the update may have been uprooted by another project... and that project is what I'm here promoting to you! I won't shill here because you can watch the trailer and go visit the steam page yourself if you are intrested. But simply put I've been working on a pretty ambitious 2D platformer. It's been a blast to work on and I really do hope you guys will check it out. If it's not up your alley I understand, just thought I'd let you know where I've been Realistically this project is going to take me another 1.8ish years to complete. Meaning that STD will continue to be left untouched until G…
- Shoot Trip Die - 1 Year Anniversary - 6 May 2023
Hello everyone, been a while hasn’t it? Yes, Shoot Trip Die has turned 1 Year old today! It’s crazy how time flies, it doesn’t feel like that much time has passed. This game has changed so much in a year, I’ve changed so much in a year! It’s crazy really! Shoot Trip Die is such a personal piece for me, not only was it just me making my first commercial attempt at a game, but it was also me trying to capture my feelings and interest in a weird and experimental piece of art. For many, it’s just a simple shoot 'em-up rogue-lite in a sea of games with the same description, but for me, it feels like random pages ripped and cobbled together from the story of my life. Shoot Trip Die was being made during a weird transitional period for me. It was a time between me understanding the trauma from childhood, and the fear of who I was becoming. A story of anger, regret, addiction, and isolation mas…
- V. 1.1.0b Update - 2 November 2022
Hello! Hope you all are enjoying the update! This is nothing major, just a small patch to sand down some edges from yesterday's update! :-) Fixes Fixed a problem with certain new items not appearing in the item compendium upon being collected. Fixed a problem where the achievements for beating the game would trigger at the wrong time, the achievements have been removed and re-added. (Note : If you have beaten the game you can re-achieve this achievement by going to the stats screen in the extras menu.) Fixed a problem where in Brutal mode, the 2nd casino would spawn the destroyed machine and not extra items. Fixed slight item spawning problems. Fixed a problem with the "fun machine" not properly finishing specific payout animations, leading to it getting stuck and unusable. Changes Made enemies in brutal mode drop less energy orbs upon death. Made items in brutal mode slightly cheaper.…
- "Profile Error" fix - 1 November 2022
Why is this occurring? This error is occurring because with the 1.1.0 update, STD went for using an older version of Nw.js, the browser emulator that allows STD to run as a .exe, in order to use steam integration as STD is made in Construct 2 which has not been supported since 2020. This error is the result of that, older versions ran on a newer version of Nw.js and thus is having conflicts (at least that is my understanding of it.) Can I restore my save data? Probably not, no. How do I stop the "Profile Error?" (Windows) Press the Windows key, and type into the search bar "%localappdata%" When in this folder (User>Username>Appdata>Local) scroll down until you see a folder name "ShootTripDie" then click on it. From there, click on "User Data" and from there click on "default" Inside the "default" folder, scroll until you find a file titled "Web Data" Than delete this file. (Note: Doing…
- V. Update 1.1.0 - 1 November 2022
Hello! It's been a while hasn't it? You may have thought all my words and promises were lies and jests, but I promise you they are not! So now here we are! Update 1.1.0, or "The Overdose Update!" This is a pretty massive update, not only changing and adding things mechanically but also a lot of internal changes within the inner workings of the game itself... which may have led to some trouble. to make a long story short, if you are someone who has owned the game before this update, your save data is most likely lost. Now I know that sounds bad... and it is... BUT! It was a sacrifice I believe was worth it! The reason this has happened is that I had to revert back to an older version of Nw.js (The browser emulator that allows STD to run as a standalone .exe) so that I could FINALLY add Steam integration, it took A LOT of digging through old forum posts and back websites but it has been d…

But only because I totally forgot about the Steam Summer Sale event! It's happening! Wowza! and Shoot Trip Die will be on sale!

Nothing huge, but it is fun! So, what is it? Read Below!!! Tweaks You no longer have to wait for the win or lose animation of the slot machine to finish before you can continue to play it. (This However does not apply to the money jackpot,…
- Item Guide, Other Releases, And the Future! - 30 May 2022
Hello everyone! Levi Ramirez here. Just wanted to post an update saying that Shoot Trip Die is now on Itch.io! Am I excited?... I guess? I'm not a huge fan of itch.io but If it means more people get a chance at trying out STD than so be it, no matter my own personal, petty beef I have with them. Along with that, The Official Item guide is now (or has been) live! I know a lot of people have been wanting help with items and such so here ya go! Why didn't I do this earlier? TO PUT SOME HAIR ON YOUR DANG CHEST! But not only does this guide have detailed explanation's of what items do but also some Trivia about items and what they mean to the game world! So if your interested in learning about that then why not give it a skim... The Future of Shoot Trip Die So I've been working on STD for almost a year and a half now, My job doesn't really stop beyond actually making the game though. Promoti…
- V. Update 1.0.8 - 25 May 2022
Sorry this took so long, Version 1.0.8 is now here and live! Wowza! But before we get into patch notes I'd like to let everyone know that there WAS a plan to upload a complete item guide to the Community section under guides! But, since STD isn't the most family friendly game it is being checked for bannable content!!! (YAY!) I've got a feeling this isn't gonna end well, so idk, cool steam moment ig. Hopefully it will all work out. What sucks even more is that I tried to censor as much of it as a I could, while also making sure what I wrote stayed in, guess it's just in the air atm, we will see what happens. But the full, uncensored version of the item guide is being checked over at GameFaqs so hopefully you'll be able to read it over there! Along with those 2 guides btw, Shoot Trip Die will officially be releasing on Itch.io as well! Should be able for purchase over there soon, that do…
- V. Update 1.0.6 - 14 May 2022
well version 1.0.5, you had a good run... BUT GET OUT OF THE WAY IT'S TIME FOR RAT UPDATE!!! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!! YES YES YES!!! Tweaks Marbles the Rat now has more dynamic movement Marbles the Rat now constantly moves and no longer randomly stops chasing enemies or the player. Marbles the Rat now attacks slightly quicker than before. Made 'Rosie' a proper stationary enemy. Made items in Brutal mode have varied prices like they are in Standard mode, they should overall be cheaper throughout the run. Made the item "IV Bag" Give +1 Heart. Made 'Dead Butterfly' a Bullet Speed down. Fixes Fixed the Rat buddy not being able to attack stationary enemies. Fixed piercing bullets not destroying bubbling blood bullets spawned from 'Junksters' Fixed improper level generation in world 2 (Pertaining to only hard levels) Fixed panties not having a blue outline when fully charged like the rest of the tem…
- V. Update 1.0.5 - 13 May 2022
This is the complete list of changes for Shoot Trip Die version 1.0.5! This update focuses mostly on making sure the game can have full controller support, and it does! So although it's not for me, you can play the entire game through-and-through with a controller! Note : Within the engine of construct 2 (What STD is made in) it's 'language' for controllers revolves around the XBOX controller, to make things simpler on myself the game itself also uses language pertaining to the XBOX controller (X,Y,B,A Buttons) but the game supports ALL controller types, I personally tested the game with both an Xbox 360 and PS4 Dualshock and they both worked exactly the same! In these patch-notes, any language that is used pertaining to the XBOX controller will also be translated over to what button it works for on the PS4 Controller. If that sounds confusing I promise it's not, just play around with a…
- V. Update 1.0.3 - 7 May 2022
This is the complete list of changes for Shoot Trip Die version 1.0.3! Originally I wanted this to basically be the update that fixed the BIG EXPLOIT, But I wanted to set a good precedent of updates to come! (May have got carried away, but hopefully y'all like it!) Tweaks Active item system as been reworked, allowing for more interesting animations and visuals for active items. 'Eraser' now no longer holds a charge, instead it relies on a durability system that allows it to be used multiple times without needing recharged. 'Heroin' has been completely reworked. By pressing the control key you can change what stat to manipulate. It now also relies on a 'cycle' system where as using the item constantly switches between 'gain' and 'loss' stat manipulation. 'Wrench' has had it's charge amount lowered from 30 to 15. 'Leftovers' has had it's charge amount lowered from 60 to 45. 'Safety Pin' n…
- SHOOT TRIP DIE - Releases Tomorrow! - 5 May 2022
Hello! It's me, Levi Ramirez, Game developer extraordinaire. Well, it’s (almost) here! I’m insanely excited for this game to drop and for you all to rip and tear into it. I’ll admit I’m a bit scared, this is my first REAL game leaving the pond of browser games and standing with the big guys. To say I’m a bit nervous is an understatement too, this game is my baby, an artists' finished painting, and I’m showing it off to the scariest group of people you’ll ever meet… gamers!!! But, I know where my game stands, I know the general idea of WHO is interested in this game and I’m excited either way for people to play my game! From what I saw from peoples' reaction to the Demo, I got a good feeling that people will be BLOWN AWAY but how much the game has improved and grown since then! For those not in the loop either, the game will be dropping at 12:00am (EST) so check what time that is for you…
