- Haque 1.0.0.4 - Update 5 - 21 November 2018
Hello everybody! Haque's been out for a whole year and I wanted to celebrate by finally fixing some bugs and adding some cool stuff! I managed to get the Windows version out in time but the Linux and Mac versions will have to wait until I set up Virtual Box again. Shouldn't be too long! Before I start I want to thank everyone who's reported bugs and sent me encouraging messages. There are a lot of you and I know it's been a long time in between updates but I really needed some time and everyone who sent me bugs seemed to understand that. Thanks! In particular I want to thank Haque player Cliff who managed to capture a bunch of error codes and bugs from the late game and send them to me. Thanks so much man! I also want to thank Steve B. who helped solve the Linux startup bug with knowledge that I just plain didn't have. Thanks Steve! Okay, on to the updates: Features The exploit where yo…
- Haque 1.0.0.32 - Update 4 - April 6, 2018 - 6 April 2018
Hello everyone! Small update to Windows and Linux versions to add some Spring-flavored content and fix some bugs. Mac update will come later! Features Added Spring map to levels 5-7 which includes Mandrakes, Cobras, mace-wielding Bears, and a special Gate-guard. Added ability to look at targeted enemies' flavor text and stats with shift (left bumper on controllers). Balancing Reduced Chipper quirk's damage minimum from 10 to 8. This means some enemies will take one or two more hits before dying. Fixes Fixed a bug where pets would sometimes hate you forever. Fixed a crash when looking at your inventory during a very late-game plot important moment. Fixed a bug where the Perseverance achievement wouldn't unlock. It should unlock when starting a new game after dying 3 or more times. Thanks again to everyone who reported bugs and reviewed the game and sent me encouraging emails. Warms my da…

- Haque 1.0.0.31 - Update 3 - February 14, 2018 - 14 February 2018
Hey everybody, this update is just to fix a few problems and bring Linux and Mac up to speed with Windows. Fixes Fixed crash resulting from mousing over an item on the floor with the Backpack screen open. Fixed stats displaying incorrectly when mousing over them. Mac users, unfortunately this update will reset your save data because of weird GameMaker/Mac/Steam interactions. If you were in the middle of something and would rather not start over you can access version 1.0.0.2 by opting in to the "lastversion" beta branch under Haque's Properties. All your save data should be there and fine. Playing one version will not overwrite another's data. Thanks to everyone who reported problems, I really appreciate your help! Enjoy, and happy Valentine's Day! Kevin Cole, Developer

- Haque 1.0.0.3 - Update 2 - February 7, 2018 - 7 February 2018
Features The Stats and Backpack screen have been merged into a single screen where you can view your character’s stats, items, quirks and skills all at once. Added ability to toggle between allied characters on the new stat screen. This makes it easier to equip allies, change their AI, and view their stats. Added full controller navigation to Stats/Backpack screen. No more switching to mouse control to equip your pets! Added a key that toggles ally AI that defaults to C on keyboards and Y/triangle on controllers. This replaces the stat screen button. Added an additional effect to Herbs. Feeding an Herb to a Cat will now boost its Speed for a while. Added a brief celebration effect when freeing Prisoners from jail. Balancing Added a short cooldown time to Necrotize, Deep Freeze, and Evil Eye. This is meant to encourage caster type characters to switch up their playstyle and reduce caster…

- Becoming the ultimate werewolf wizard in retro roguelike Haque - 13 December 2017
It's not even a question. I can be a necromancer, some dude with a stick, or a werewolf wizard . A werewolf wizard with brass knuckles who throws boulders and shoots icicles, no less. What better way to start my first playthrough of Haque , a newly released turn-based roguelike from SuperTry Studios. So begins the tragically short but altogether frickin' sweet life of thaumaturgic lycanthrope Fendr Plankflesh. Oh, and Forest, his fairy partner. No, I didn't come up with the names. They'd have been much stupider if I had.  At the request of a mysterious old man named Old Man, I enter the first floor of the dungeon. And boy, is it pixely in here. Now, the roguelike descriptor is a meaningless but necessary evil, a convenient if inconsistent bundle of terms like procedural and permadeath. That said, Haque is more like 1980's Rogue than most. It is incredibly r…
- Haque is a cute, glitchy, roguey-likey little thing - 2 December 2017
I knew that Haque (presumably pronounced the same as Hack) was a game I had to dig deeper into when, after slaying a manticore for the first time (described in-game as ‘Big angry kitties with venomous scorpion tails’ and also ‘They are just the best’), the tutorial narrator popped up to grumble about what the fell beasts had done to his vegetable garden. Released about a week ago, Haque has flown under the radar. Low-fi retro games are ten a penny, and roguelike dungeon-crawls even moreso, but after trying a bit of it myself, I reckon it might well warrant a closer look. (more…)
