Hey gamers! There are updates. Let's check in.


Hope everyone's enjoying the Working From Home update! As you can see we're on a DEEP discount this week for the Steam Daily Deal. It probably won't go this low for a while after this so grab it while you can!


We're STILL working to bring the WFH Update to consoles as well. Unfortunately we failed a cert submission for the Switch, so we're currently resubmitting. PS4 and Xbox are underway as well but they're both faster. Once all three are ready, it'll come out. It should be this month!


That's right, we've partnered with Glass Embroidery to bring you guys STUDIO MERCH,

Check it out here[glassembroidery.com].

Why do you want studio merch? Studies show that buying studio merch makes you 1000% more likely to buy that studio's next game (Did I mention we're working on Next Game? Stay tuned). By supporting us you'll be helping fund Game 2 while its in its infancy and we work towards getting full funding.

This merch drop includes the following items:

The Quintessential Aggro Crab Beanie. You can't be fully aggro with a cold head. So slip one of these bad boys on, and go tell your boss wtf you think of them.

Aggro Crab Embroidered sweatshirts in AGGRESSIVE GOLD and INTIMIDATING BLUE. Do you enjoy advertising your parasocial relationship with quirky indie game developers who pretend to be crabs online? This is the sick ass sweatshirt for you.

The return of the Anti-Aliasing Aliasing Club Hoodie. The once-banned controversial hoodie is BACK. Rep your love for Zans or for pixel artifacting in general with this ultra-comfy ultra-drippy hoodie. Now made with higher quality and a longer-lasting screen printed design.


Yes, we've started work on a new videogame. That means you probably aren't gonna hear from us for a bit, but we're bad at keeping a secret so keep your eyes peeled. Since the launch of Going Under, we've been able to gather an incredible, wholesome, welcoming, talented, beautiful community and it would mean the world to us if you all came with us on our next journey. In the meantime follow us on Twitter and Discord [discord.gg]for updates and shitposts.


Until next time!

- Nick

The grind never ends! We've fixed some of the most critical issues with the Working From Home update!

• Fixed an issue where The Impostor could become invincible and also unable to damage Jackie, soft locking the run
  
• Fixed an exploit causing Team Player to make Jackie invincible while accompanied by certain invincible companions
  
• Prevented players from getting permanently stuck out of bounds in Cubicle Tower
  
• Fixed an issue where bringing Disaster Proof into Cubicle Tower as your pinned skill would break the game
  
• The Employee Kiosks in Fizzle now properly open the Resume again instead of the Rolodex
  
• Corrected a few typos in dialogue

All these fixes will be coming to consoles along with the Working From Home Update itself in a matter of weeks! Thanks for your patience, and happy interning!

What’s poppin bebs! We just launched the Working From Home update for Going Under. That’s right, it’s out RIGHT NOW! You can PLAY IT! (Coming to consoles ASAP, we promise!)

For this update, we wanted to address some of the biggest gaps we and the players saw in the gameplay, to make it a better experience for people playing for the first time, as well as add content to give experienced players something new to tackle.

Also watch our sick new animated trailer!!

To that end, the biggest feature in this update is IMPOSTOR MODE. A lot of players have been asking for the ability to play the dungeons one after the other in more of a “True Roguelike” setting, so we’re giving the people what they want! Not only can you challenge the game’s core 3 dungeons in a single run, you’ll get to banish a new final boss: The Impostor.

To unlock Impostor Mode, you’ll need to beat the game’s first 4 dungeons, and then encounter The Impostor in a normal dungeon run. We’ll let you figure out the rest ;)

Not only that, but there are 7 levels of Overtime, our scaling difficulty system similar to Slay the Spire’s Ascension. And they get STUPID hard. Even experienced interns will be at this one for quite a while.

Easily the most requested feature was the ability to play old dungeons that get locked off for plot reasons. We’re finally caving to public opinion and letting you play the original 3 dungeons whenever you want with the flick of a lever! No more grinding the insanely hard dungeons to get your mentorships finished.

We’ve also got the Rolodex, our game’s version of a bestiary. By picking up business cards in the dungeon and capturing enemies in them, you’ll be able to learn more about the game’s lore, or just read whatever stupid jokes Caelan felt like putting in there.

Nick wrote only one out of 57 and it was this one

Feel like taking a break? Jackie now has a room to hang out in! You can change outfits (yes, there are OUTFITS!), listen to the songs you’ve heard in-game, and start Impostor Mode runs from the comfort of your own room.

Finally, there’s a whole bunch of new Skills, Curses, weapons, and secrets to discover in the existing game as well as Impostor Mode. There are now a total of 99 Skills in the game! Can you get them all?

Good luck babyface, looks like you'll need it.

We worked our butts off on this update, and we really hope you guys have fun with it. It couldn't have been done without the amazing community and the passion you guys have shown for the world of Going Under, so thank you!!! (Random thought...we're only 40 reviews away from an Overwhelmingly Positive hmmmmːGoOverː) Til next time, when we'll have even more hype stuff to share.

<3 ːAggroCrabː

Full patch notes are below! As always, let us know what you think of the update in the comments or in our Discord[discord.gg], or even just @ us on Twitter.

Hey unpaid interns! It's Steam Awards time, and we're recommending you nominate Going Under for the category of ːGoOverː Outstanding Visual Style! ːGoOverː I mean hooooonestly we should win every category, but the visuals are probably the part that most immediately sticks out to the average Steam gamer so that's what we're gunnin' for.

By the way, the Bug-Slaying patch should be on consoles TOMORROW, sorry about the wait on that. Meanwhile Aggro Crab & friends are still grinding it out to work on new content updates and expand the game to new platforms. Come join our Discord at discord.gg/aggrocrab to follow along with development, or to share your Swomp fanfics ːJackie7ː

ːJackie7ː The Bug Slaying Patch (v.1.0.4.5) is now live on Steam, and it’s only like, 3 weeks later than we told Discord it would be! The main point of this patch is, obviously, to fix the most critical bugs in the game, but we’ve also done quite a bit of balancing work, removed exploits, and even added a sneaky lil feature here and there. Turns out the QA team isn’t happy when you do that, though. Shout out to those folks for putting up with us.

All this stuff is coming to consoles in the upcoming weeks! Stay tuned.

Hey Interns!

Launch has been incredible and we've been overwhelmed by the positivity but we wanted to get this update for the two biggest issues out as quickly as possible! Hotfix 1.0.3.1 is now live.

Bug Fixes:

• Capped FPS at 60 by default, and set the maximum cap at 120. This should resolve the persistent crashes for the majority of users experiencing them, and will serve as a temporary fix until we can address the underlying issue and hopefully allow uncapped FPS again.
  
• Buying an object with Blood Money will not restock it when using Tappi's mentor bonus, preventing an infinite health & skill exploit.
  
• Fixed an issue where going down a slide while holding Debt could duplicate the Debt.

Balance Changes:

• Debt now drops when you dodge roll & encumbers your movement (although can still be swung fast) when using Upper Body Strength.

This bug hit a little too close to home

We're also still working on a bunch of other reports all you lovely people have submitted since launch! These updates are getting pushed much more rapidly to our Public Beta Branch. If you wanna help us test our bugfixes and new features before they go out for everyone, the steps for downloading the beta branch are:

1. right click the game on your Steam library and select "properties"
   
2. in the menu that opens, select the "betas" tab
   
3. pick "public_beta" from the dropdown and let the games begin

Thanks to everyone that's taken the time to leave us a review, give us feedback and report issues. Have fun smashing monsters with junk and stuff!
