The Henchmen - 1.2 Update (Stability update)

Jun 1

Hello!

Version 1.2 brings nothing but bug fixes! Not that fun, I know. But fear not! The next patch, version 1.3, will focus on balancing & all the great quality of life suggestions you've been, well, suggesting on the discord group! So, if you have anything you feel like suggesting, please, I'd love to hear it. So join us here! https://discord.com/invite/GgHxCMn4FP

On with the patch notes!

Bug Fixes

Fixed car turret not working correctly on controller 2
Fixed being able to break "First day at the office" and "Garcia is in trouble" by dying in very specific ways
Fixed a bug where leaving the tutorial by returning to the menu during the slide section would keep the objective on the bottom left (why does this section keep haunting me?)
Fixed some challenges not being counted correctly in the stats menu
Fixed the HUD not displaying values over 100 correctly, making it look like you're not losing armor
Disable the small, player side HUD when in a car (you could sometimes see hit when running over people)
Fixed a bug where delivering a vehicle to Garcia by placing it on the trigger while not inside it, and then going inside it, would result in you staying in the vehicle.
Added a grace period when being run over by vehicles which should help in getting stuck between a car and a hard place
Fixed a bug where in some rare instances, your gun would get "jammed" during reloading, never letting you fire again
More small misc stuff not even worth writing down

Quality of Life Changes

Bullets shot by dead enemies no longer hit the player

That is all! Once again, thanks again to everyone who helped me with reporting these issues!

Until next time.

The Henchmen 1.1 Hotfix 1

- Updated tutorial section to be more clear that melee kills refresh bot sliding and give you ammo in your magazine.

The Henchmen - 1.1 Update (The Cleanup Job)

May 29

I'm excited to bring you update 1.1 of The Henchmen, that covers some of the most common feedback you've shared with me, brings QoL changes, and bug fixes:

Car & Driving Changes:

There has been some frustration in regards to how the car handles, so changes have been made to make it a bit more forgiving:

Cars driven by the player now have more base resistance to impacts - 20% in missions and 40% in free roam (only on Normal and Easy)
Damage taken from breakable objects, such as light poles, is now 5 times less than it was before
Cops are less aggressive in Normal and Easy, making them pinning you to walls harder. This change also applies to the gang cars that spawn in certain missions
Trees are now breakable. Happy deforesting!

Quality of Life Changes

Added a new "Stats" screen, accessible from the pause menu, to help you keep track of game percentage, tokens found, and more
The "how to lose the cops" hint now also is shown when starting a getaway mission for the first time, if "First day on the job" hasn't been played before.
Reworked the sliding section of the tutorial to better convey how you need to replenish it (hint: melee kills)
The game now tells you if a car is locked when walking near one

Bug fixes

Fixed a crash when toggling to split-screen in certain interiors
Fixed downed player being able to tank incoming damage for the player reviving them
Fixed drivers sometimes taking a nap in chase challenges
Fixed snow sometimes remaining after switching to the 1996 map
Fixed not being able to buy a gun from a shop if you already had it in your hands
Fixed enemies in the second assassination not being set as "important" and despawning if the area was left (whoopsie)
And more...

Closing thoughts

The release of this game was a very intense experience. I have worked on this game for very long, and I really want to bring you the best game I can. So, if you have any feedback or thoughts, please join our Discord & chat with me: https://discord.com/invite/GgHxCMn4FP

Alternatively, you can create a thread on the Steam Discussion page: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1431750/discussions/

I would also like to thank Silent and MapleEllie who have given feedback and bug reports through their playthroughs and helped me get the ball rolling, in terms of updates.

One last thing - I would love for you all to leave a Steam review, as it really helps a lot!

That is all, thanks for reading and playing!

Devs, Can you add Borderless option? Please :)

Hi. I have a god awful Samsung monitor that keeps going black every time it does not support either frequency or the resolution...and for some reason even when I pick my own resolution it still blacks out on me. Borderless app from steam didn't help for some reason...

A competent take on a top down open world game mixing Hotline Miami-like combat with GTA1-like exploration. At first the HM-like segments looked underwhelming, but in gameplay they are much better than anticipated. Driving is somewhat tough and takes time getting used to, especially at the start of the game, in winter time. Driving games from Driver also make an appearance, with missions like Chase, Getaway, Survival.

Once the combat "clicks", it becomes pretty satisfying and you can get into a smooth flow of actions.

The CRT filter and texture filtering is optional, too - so you can tailor the game's looks to how you prefer the most.

One hit die? Or with life bar?

This is most important to me. I played quite a lot of top down view game like this but all "one hit die" and I could not stand about that. With missions? Boss? Or just "go to place A pick up item B and deliver to person C in location D" type?

GTA 2 nostalgia starts here

Never thought I would see someone tackle the GTA 1 and 2 era but boy am I surprised. Cant wait to try this later today and give feedback.

Can we have an AI CPU companion if we play singleplayer?

It would feel less lonely. And it would help a lot if you don't have friends to play with.

very neat blend of old school top down GTA and Hotline Miami (with a hint of driver). Driving is the my fav part of the game tbh, there's a dedicated burnout button, just like in the old driver games, and chaining drifts while evading the law is really satisfying.

Honestly I have to respect this indie dev bringing the fun of GTA 2 to PC and including co op.
