Hey everyone!

We're proud to announce that Supplice will be coming out in Early Access on April 6th, 2023! We have moved our release date from March 30th on suggestion from our publisher - April 6th date is less crowded release wise and will help us reach a bigger audience.

The EA release will contain the complete first episode of the game (out of six) and subsequent updates will be adding more content.

Thank you for your continued support!

2 Years in EA now, and no more updates since 1 year ? ^^

aaand this is not happened:
"Q2 2024 with the full release. We were overly optimistic, and this had to be revised.“

I guess things happen and maybe devs have internal/personal stuff to deal with, I agree that a bit of comunication would be nice but, I dont think they will abandone the project yet, so lets wait for official words.

EDIT: In fact took me seconds to find a dev response from 3 Feb that they are still working on ep4... Lets give them time :)

After the update my save game is broken. When I try to load it, it fails and gives this message in the console:
"Savegame is from a different level"

it does the same thing with the autosave..

I guess that broke your save¿? Usually when I update gzdoom for my other games and mods... the save goes to waste unless I finish the game on the version I started it.

Many levels had adjustments that will break saves, that is the nature of GZdoom unfortunately. If you have a save that does load but has issues with terminals, you use the console command "changemap e3m4" to reset a level (for example). If you don't have any working saves, you'll need to level select your current map then use console commands to give yourself the upgrades/weapons desired. Here's a list of ammo, upgrades, armor and weapons. For example, Give BulletMagazine 100 gives 100 bullets.

// Ammo
BulletMagazine (can state your amount after item too)
ShellClip
FuelCylinder
VoltCapacitor

// Long-term powerups
ArmorAugmenter
VitalityTonic
SuppAmmoSatchel

// Armor
PlasteelVest
DynamicArmor

// Weapons
AssaultRifle
RotaryShotgun
Minigun
Slugger
Cyclomortar
Cremator
ArcDivider

^ Is there any way to read a save file to know what we had to recreate it? I haven't touched the game in awhile so no idea what is reasonable to add but I was on E2M5.

You can check what you had by opening the .zds file found in C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Supplice\Supplice as a zip file. Then open the e2m5.map.json file with a text editor.

For health, search for "BonusHealth"
For armor, search for "class:BasicArmor" and look to the right, BonusCount is the increased armor value.
For ammo, search for "AmmoSatchelExpandedCounter". You'll have to look a decent bit to the right until you found the Amount field which shows how many you've picked up.

If you don't want to mess with this, generally you'll pick up one of each upgrade per level, so you could give yourself 4 of each, then every weapon but the Arc Divider, and a BagOfAmmo
(the 25% bag) to round it off.

Great update! Looks like a lot has changed in this update.

The update notes mention that the plasmatic charges no longer deal self-damage if you detonate them. However, the Cyclomortar also no longer deals self-damage. Is it supposed to be that way?

[soliddew]

The lack of self-damage is a known issue, there are plans to patch it hopefully soon.
