Hellboy Web of Wyrd FAQ

[76561199563036981]

Hey gang, Drew from Good Shepherd here with a neat lil' FAQ! Hit us in the comments and we will be happy to A any Q's as they become more F.


Why isn’t (CHARACTER) in the game?
This is a licensed game, which means that we have VERY specific permissions on who we can and cannot include. For example, we ARE allowed to use Hellboy.

Also, story-wise, the game takes place before the first issue of Hellboy, so a lot of your favorite Hellboy characters haven't even met Hellboy at this point. But, truly, it's more of a licensing thing.

Who are these BPRD characters?
They are original characters made specifically for this game. Why? Again, licensing.

Can I change Hellboy’s outfit/skin/look?
Not right now.

Is there mod support?
No. But you do have our support, in the emotional sense.

Is there a physical release planned?
There is! We’ll have an announcement on that soon.

How soon?
Prior to the heat death of the universe.

When can we expect some DLC?
There are no plans for DLC at this time.

Why couldn’t I pre-order the game?
We’re a small team (we could fit comfortably in a passenger van) and setting up pre-orders adds a lot more paperwork than we had the bandwidth for. You gotta get approvals, there’s all these fees, legal stuff, it’s a whole scenario.

Will you have DLC in the future?
We’ll have more news on that in the coming weeks!

What platforms is this game out for?
PC via Steam, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.

Why is the game not coming out on (xyz platform)?
Publishing a game on a platform is a complicated process that takes time. It’s possible that the game will release on more platforms in the future, but for right now, the above listed platforms are what we’re sticking with.

Do I need to read/have read the comics to enjoy this game?
Not at all. Think of this game as a “one shot:” it’s set in the Hellboy universe before the very first issue of the comics, but the Web of Wyrd story doesn’t have any bearing on the canon.

Where can I read the comics?
Your local comic book store, or via the handy Dark Horse Comics app!

Who voices Hellboy?
Lance Reddick

Why?
We really like Lance Reddick.

How involved was Mike Mignola on this project?
We made sure we got Mike’s blessing on the whole thing. But he didn’t write the story.

I don’t like this game.
That is totally okay. We’re sorry that you feel that way, but we entirely respect your tastes.

I don’t like you, the developer/publisher, personally.
That is also okay. If you hung out with us, you might be singing a different tune. But then again, maybe not. Life is like that, sometimes.

Why are there no graphical options for the game?

Great question. We ARE working on a FOV slider along with a couple other things, but to answer your question:

Cel shading is about as basic as it gets when it comes to graphics. It's pretty much all rendered by the CPU, NOT the GPU, which means that there just isn't a whole lot to change. It is just colors wrapping polygons; no textures, baked-in lighting, motion blur looks weird as hell, the list of options that you CAN have in a cel-shaded game is pretty small.

That said, we do have a few things in the works that will be updated with patches, and are already working on DLC stuff for down the road.

Again, great question.

Hello guys,

I really like the game but the control movement lags a lot. And the mouse sensitivity is real ♥♥♥♥♥♥. It just doesnt move smoothly and when i push a button on my keyboard it has a second delay. I checked my internet connection and there is no problem with that whatsoever.

Revives upgrades are useless? Cause i upgraded it to level 2 and still got only one extra life

What I think it could happen is that you revived and somehow took damage. You get a measly 1 hp bar on revive, so you gotta be careful. Imo, just spend your currency on resistance and on pistol, you can rekt everything that way. I'm just finishing to get 100% and that work wonders.

I'm pretty sure it ain't that cause there was no big "Revive" prompt or whatever. Yeah i got the pistol fully upgraded already (and got revive to level3 just to see if it's gonna change anything). HP & Resistance are next

This was the funniest FAQ reading i have ever done xD

[NinjaGuy]

Thank you so much for this game! Honestly the best time I had this year. I'm having a lot of fun. Looking forward to future content, and I'll definitely keep my eyes open for future games :). I'll be supporting this one as best as I can.
