— 2 new news events: Car Bomb and Army Corruption

Car Bomb
In recent days, a spree of car bombs have detonated across cities controlled by the Scarian Army, apparently targeting railway stations, police stations, markets, and government buildings. Many civilians and soldiers have been killed. While the government's spokespeople claim that the Revolutionaries are to blame, the Revolutionaries counter that the attacks are false flags planned by Akadullah to strike fear in Scarian hearts.

Army Corruption (Day 45 or later)
Recent reports state that "Akadullah is furious" over rampant corruption in the highest levels of his Army. Some of his soldiers have been actively avoiding combat and retreating from confrontations with Revolutionaries. There are even whispers of a "whitelist" - a list of anti-government combatants who are to receive special treatment from the Army, such as being spared from heavy firepower and elite squadrons.

— 2 new camp events: Scrapped Vehicle and Comrade's Request

Scrapped Vehicle
XX was fortunate enough to stumble upon a scrapped vehicle from an unknown local fighting force. We may be able to salvage some valuable parts from its shell.

Comrade's Request
XX wishes to temporarily leave the team to handle some personal affairs with an "old acquaintance" in the area. While they are reluctant to discuss their true intentions, whether they are sending a gift or a barrage of bullets is none of your concern.

We appreciate your continued love and support for Home Behind 2! As always, we will continue to follow our published development roadmap, and are on track to release another update this coming November.

Dear Revolutionaries:

Time flies, and it has been a year since Home Behind 2 launched on Steam in early access on January 22, 2021.

The Home Behind 2 v1.0 update is finally live today! We’d like to say thanks to our loyal players who accompanied us through the Early Access phase. Your feedback and support have been invaluable to us!
In the past journey, the game has undergone a total of 25+ updates. During this period, we added:

• 2 new modes
  
• Hell difficulty
  
• 15+ classes and NPCs
  
• 14+ random tactics and skill mechanics
  
• 22+ quests and events
  
• Multiple regional features

Over the past year, we have added new content, optimized in-game functions, and have further balanced the game’s core mechanics.

Thanks again to our longtime players who have provided us feedback and support during the Early Access. Home Behind 2 is a better game because all of you! We also welcome new players to the game and hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed making it!

V1.0 is the end of Early Access, but it is not the end of Home Behind 2. We have announced the 2022 development roadmap, and we will work hard to optimize and improve the game based on your feedback.

The detailed update content of v1.0 is as follows:

Added a hidden story after finishing the game under Hard difficulty. The story is related to Home Behind and makes the story of Home Behind more complete.

Added a new Boss "Vulture" and related side tasks and stories. During the exploration process, players will randomly encounter the revolutionary army that was attacked by the Vulture and will finally face this formidable enemy.
Skills:

Peck
Deals damage to one enemy unit (fitness gap increases skill effectiveness), reduces enemy's fitness and accuracy and applies a jam effect

Rot
Deals damage to one enemy unit, reduces their fitness, applies a seize effect

Soar
Increases own fitness, speed, and dodge

Added 3 new common jobs:
Machine Gunner:
Machine Gunners seek nothing more than the perfect gun. Seeing their enemies fall to their firepower is their greatest source of joy.
Skill:

Overheated Shot
Reduces own defense, greatly increases damage and crit damage

Rapid Shot
Increases own accuracy and crit rate

Water Cooling
Increases own speed and comes with a jam effect

Chemist:
Most of their knowledge is rooted in ancestral recipes and explosive outcomes from random experiments. Their products can often be... unpredictable.
Skill:

Chemical Spray
Deals continuous damage to all enemies and adds a random effect: jam/silence/stun/immunity

Rapid Healing

Continuously heals one allied unit and adds a random effect: immunity/invincible/mark/stun

Rage Injection
Heals and increases the morale of one allied unit with a random effect: invincible/undying/jam/silence

Engineer:
Instead of fighting their enemies head on, Engineers install a large number of hovering turrets and liquid nitrogen turrets to exhaust their targets.
Skill:

Superior Enhancement
Sacrifice own speed in exchange for Enhance Summon

Hover Turret
Sacrifice your own speed to summon a hover turret, which is mainly used for damage dealing

Nitrogen Turret
Sacrifice your own speed to summon a nitrogen turret, which can slow down the enemies and reduce their dodge

Added 3 skill mechanics. These mechanics have been added to the old and new jobs. The balance of some jobs has been adjusted.

Jam: Unable to use basic attacks
Random effect: The final effect of the skill is random
Enhance Summon: Enhance all the stats of what you summoned

Added 5 new random tactics:

Witch's Brew
An occult potion derived from ancient Scarian legends said to have wonderful - but unpredictable - effects.
Thermal Imager
This high-tech device exposes the heat signatures of enemies behind or within a fortification.
Nitrogen Tank
High-pressured liquid nitrogen makes it difficult for enemies to move for a short time.
Rapid Preparation
Teammates bow their heads and begin preparing to force an advantage in the coming battle.
Disabling Smoke
Produces hot and humid smoke which renders enemy weapons unusable for a short time.
Adjusted the equipment drop rate. It is now easier to obtain high-quality weapons when playing the game on a higher difficulty.

Added a popup prompt when unlocking a job.

Fixed some text.

The game is now available for Macs and can be played on macOS.

Removed third-party DRM verification. (We found that many players reported problems due to DRM verification procedures.)


Since we didn't consider the Workshop in the initial stages of the game’s design, we need more time to consider how we can include the Workshop in our game. We will address the feasibility of adding Workshop support after launching v1.0.

Thank you again for your company and support over the past year!

Dear Revolutionaries:

It's been one year since the Early Access launch of Home Behind 2! On January 22, we ushered in the first anniversary of Home Behind 2 landing on Steam. We're very happy to share with you here—Home Behind 2 will transition from Early Access to ‘Released’ on February 16th!

We’d like to thank everyone for their suggestions and support during Early Access. Our game would not be as fun as it is today without your continued feedback and support!

The contents in v1.0 are ready and we are busy squashing any remaining bugs we find. You can expect the launch of v1.0 on February 16th. After the launch, we will continue improve the game based on your feedback. At the same time, we will advance our development plan according to the roadmap.

FAQs
Why is this discount the best time to get this game?

Due to restrictions on Steam, we can't offer a discount when we raise the price for the v1.0 launch. Therefore, we decided to offer a 25%off discount during the Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2022. The original Home Behind will be 70% off. We will also offer a Home Behind and Home Behind 2 bundle with at an extra 5% off. This is the best time to get the Home Behind series for those who haven’t bought it yet!

After the v1.0 launch, we can't offer a discount for 30 days due to Steam’s policies.

I've already purchased the game! What happens me?

Nothing at all! You will get a more polished experience in v1.0!

About Workshop Support

Since we didn't consider the Workshop in the initial stages of the game’s design, we need more time to consider how we can include the Workshop in our game, as well as redesign the underlying game architecture to support it. We will address the feasibility of adding Workshop support after launching v1.0.
