After almost a year, Hostile Lands is back with a fresh new approach. Our biggest change of all has been how the core gameplay loop works. We’ve replaced “Normal” and “Hard” mode with a new “Lite” mode. In Lite mode, permanent upgrades can be unlocked, and each run will get progressively harder as you escape with the original 12 crew members. The Crash Site has been completely redesigned. Each…
Our next major update (Locked, Loaded, and Exploded) is coming very soon! We've been hard at work rebuilding how the game works, including the three game modes, upgrade systems and character unlocks. We haven't set a specific date yet, due to the amount of playtesting still needed to ensure the update has as few bugs as possible, but we hope the wait won't be too much longer! What to expect: ·…
NEW · added musical sting when defeating a boss · added new start screen logo BUG FIXES · fixed (hopefully) a bug that spawned the player in a vulnerable position in the mountain levels (so they'd be eviscerated before they had time to react) · fixed a bug where quitting to the main menu wiped revive count · fixed a bug that would crash the game when a quake bullet would hit Anna's shield · fix…
Fixed an issue with quick keys showing when Gamepad was being used · Fixed a bug when players restarted on death, the run order would be offset, so they were ending up in higher level areas without appropriately scaled weapons
Game now pauses and mutes sound if the window is out of focus (the game has been tabbed out of) · Shortened pickup delay time of drops after they spawn · Quick keys have been added to the Upgrade menu's Continue button and the Gameover menu's Restart, Revive, and Quit buttons Thanks again for all the feedback and suggestions! More requested features coming soon!
- fixed an issue where Gamepad users would throw guns after exiting a menu - fixed an issue where rebinding a Gamepad Input with X would set all bindings back to Default - added an Exit Game button from the Pause Menu (sorry about that! lol) - added current Character Skills/Buffs in the Crew Status window of the Pause Menu - added feedback for when no skill points are available in the upgrade menu
Balanced the attacks of the Sand Devil & Hive Queen to be a little more forgiving. · Balanced gunman in the alternate desert biome · Fixed a bug where the Pathfinder would spawn on a chest

Some older machines were struggling to run the game. We've added a render scale option that should help with that. We've also fixed a bug where unlocked starter weapons would not spawn correctly when beginning a new run.
