After years of development, it is with great pleasure that I can finally announce - Jupiter Hell comes out of access - we're out of Beta and releasing on time!
This is not just a "final touch" update. No, that would be too easy! This is a complete replacement of the fourth and final episode - Beyond is no more, welcome Dante Station!
Along with Dante comes a completely new final boss and a new complex, challenging and demanding boss fight! Expect to die xD
Moreover, three new enemies have been added. One is the summoner who relieved of boss duty took the much more relatable "warlock" name (and comes with an arch and exalted variant!), with completely new mechanics. You may meet him as early as Io.
The other two are robotic enemies encountered only on Dante Station. The sentinel might be annoying, but fairly weak. The guardian you should fear. Testing required two nerfs already :).
Additionally we've done a lot of UI UX improvements, we hope you'll notice them yourself when you play!
And as usual, a ton of bugfixes. I tried to keep this short today, as I hope you cannot wait to dive in!

What's Next[]
One more thing ;). Is this the end of the journey? No, it is just the beginning! Jupiter Hell may finally be a complete game, but it's a roguelike, and like all roguelikes, there's always something to add! And boy do we have a lot of ideas! We'll fix any outstanding bugs, then take a much needed rest, and jump right back to it! Expect news on 1.1 this year ;)
That's it for today, make sure to make use of the 20% launch discount - it's here for a limited time!
Rip & tear turn after turn after turn... in Jupiter Hell!
Good luck.
