Hey everyone!
Just some quick and exciting news! So we have now a final code for the editor with all content complete. In the coming weeks Abstraction will merge it with the main game and their engine, get it ready for Steamworks and of course fix as many bugs as possible before we hand it over to all of you!
And when do we hand it over? Weeeeell If all goes as plan we will be able to offer those who are interested access to a beta editor late next month! FUCK YEAH! Finally you say:)
More info as soon as we have anything to share!
Thanks for your patience and Have a great weekend!
//D.W and Cactus
Update
There are a handful of features that won't be in the beta, but will be added in a future update. These include:
- No rewind/fast forward screen
- No off screen floor transitions (like in No Mercy or the soldier levels)
- Creating optional cutscene content
- Probably something more, hopefully nothing important
PS. No need to post your Steam accounts in the comments
YUUSSSSSSS!!!
SvaraRaderaYou have no idea how excited this makes me! Keep up the great work!
SvaraRaderaTerrific news! Will the beta be open for everyone?

SvaraRaderaThank you so much for making it available for everyone, you have no idea how much I love you guys right now <3
SvaraRaderaUh, Beta starts at the same time as the Isaac Afterbirth DLC. 2 Great Things to play.
SvaraRaderaWill we be able to use our levels made in the beta editor in the later full version of the editor?
Depends on what we will need to change in the level saving/compilation process for final release. So, hopefully yes, possibly no.
RaderaSo lets hope all will work fine
RaderaWill the secret character be available in the beta?
SvaraRaderaHe said that the code includes all content...

SvaraRaderaDennis said that everyone that is interested will get access to the alpha, so putting up requests for it doesn't really have a point. Also, it's happening in a month or so, so nobody's getting contacted yet.

SvaraRaderaSoo is it to soon to ask if the editor has any chance of coming to ps4 or is it just not coming???
SvaraRaderaThe editor wouldn't be very easy to use with a controller, so it will be pc/mac/linux only afaik. The plan is to release the best of the community made levels for the console version though. So you'll be getting some new content at least.

Holy shit.. So much hype for this.. Is the secret character going to be included in the beta, or is it going to be held off until full release?
SvaraRaderaWell, he said all the codes are going to be there, so I guess so.

Yeah, Why do they never read? but about the Steam accounts they just add it after people posted comments.
RaderaBut Boxcar said it.

SvaraRaderaI am super interested in the Level Editor Beta!
SvaraRadera:D
SvaraRadera:D
SvaraRaderaHow do we get beta?
SvaraRaderaDid you even read?
Raderawhoa calm down Tony, I think he means 'how are you guys going to send out this beta code and how do you know our steam accounts' or something like that
RaderaWell they said that if they are going to share stuff when they have news so he just have to wait until another new.
RaderaAnd I wasn't angry or anything.
And they said that anyone, who is interested will have it so that means that you'll see the Beta in your game and if you want to play it, you play it or there will be a submit option to Beta in a the Steam news.
RaderaI'm so pumped for this!
SvaraRaderaSorry if this has already been asked, but will levels made in the Beta editor work in the finished version of the editor
SvaraRaderaThis is exactly, what Cactus said ¨Depends on what we will need to change in the level saving/compilation process for final release. So, hopefully yes, possibly no.¨
RaderaI think I'll try out the editor in Beta then, but ultimately I'll wait until the full release to do anything special.
RaderaWill we be getting it on ps4 and ps3. I've been hearing different answers everywhere. Apologies if you've answered this already.
SvaraRaderaFor the last time, No console because it would be harder to use they are just going to aadd levels from the community.
RaderaOh ok so we are going to get community levels then? I don't mind getting the level creator itself, i just look forward to New levels. Sorry again if this has been answered.
RaderaSo are we allowed to create custom characters? I'm not getting that drift which seems kinda silly considering that we can create cutscenes and entirely new storylines (with custom covers)
SvaraRaderaIf you mean a Sprite editor, no you can't but there is a way that is modding.
RaderaYou won't be able to edit sprites or music with the level editor, but you can with external utilities like the HLM WAD Explorer.
SvaraRaderaBut who is the new character?!
SvaraRaderaHis name is
RaderaJOHN CENA
RaderaIm interested m8.
SvaraRaderaI know that nobody must post his account in the comments but i do it

SvaraRaderaJust curious. At any point in the future, will there ever be another game like Hotline: Miami? Like for instance, "Hotline: Detroit"?

RaderaIf they said there is not need to post your Steam accounts it means don't do it.
Raderabeta editor is in oct 17,19,20,27,28,30 or 31
SvaraRaderaHoly burgers, thank you!
SvaraRaderaJust a question to either Cactus or Dennis, can you consider giving us a dev kit any time later? For modding the storymode campaing? Many would love it! Modding is a pain in the arse for many! :)
Why would you mod the storymode?
RaderaIf you'll be able to make cutscense.
Wow so much hype for the level editor, will the game have a discount when the editor will be released?
SvaraRaderaYes, i am interested in this! 100%!
SvaraRaderabeta editor is in oct 17,19,20,27,28,30 or 31
RaderaChill out man stop spamming the same comments you start to being awful
Raderasorry i am hype
RaderaAm i very interested
SvaraRaderaCactus, quick question, I know Dennis said he won't make Jacket face at the time, but, Does that means Jacket will have a canon face anytime?
SvaraRaderaIf you have reasons for not answering this question because it's a secret it's okay I understand.
Thank you.
No face for Jacket. He's not really the talkative type anyway :P
RaderaOkay, nice, thanks again!
RaderaHoly...Between this fucking kid and those "iamsuinterrestedheremysteampagelololol"
SvaraRaderaHoly Hell.
Anyway. Guys. When the editor will be released. You will need to right click to "hotline miami 2 : Wrong number" (in the library) then click properties and the editor will be available in the Beta window.
There could be another way as I said before but I'm sure when the editor comes out we'll know how to access to it.
RaderaDen här kommentaren har tagits bort av skribenten.
SvaraRaderaAlso, Cactus, a guy in the previous post was talking about a theory and I know you won't say if he is right or not because you guys keep secrets (I love you for that) but we believe that there is a five soldier and it's the secret character also if you could call me "Stupid shit head" 90% of my life would be complete.
SvaraRaderaThanks again!
No, you stupid shit head ;) It's not a fifth soldier, but nice guess. Definitely won't reveal anything this close to launch.
Radera:´D
Raderais it on oct 17,19,20,27,28,30 or 31
RaderaChang just wait until they have news, it's not even october so just wait :)
RaderaUhh...I want to access beta editor...Butt how...? (Google translate lol)

SvaraRaderaI have some pretty specific questions about character weapons.
SvaraRadera1 Can the pig butcher use the Double Barrel against cops?
2 Will the Skorpion return as a weapon that Jacket can use?
3 Will the Pig Butcher get the MP5 like in the old Hotline Miami trailers? It would be nice for him to have a machine gun type firearm.
That is all, apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks in advance.
1-Depends on the sprites that are already designed
SvaraRadera2-Some weapons won't return I don't remember wich ones but I think that question is in another post
3-Same as 1 (I think) and I readed that it was just made for the trailer (I'm not sure)
Hope this is right.
can't wait. would love access to the editor.
SvaraRaderai predict the secret character will be the werewolf from keyboard drumset, but i hope to pleasantly surprised when i'm wrong :)
You mean the Fucking werewolf band itself?
RaderaWell if so Dennis already made a mask based on his band.
not the band itself, but the purple werewolf with the skeleton gun from one of dennaton's earlier games
Raderadefinitely wrong, but nonetheless, the dennis mask will definitely satisfy that curiosity
Yeah I saw the game but the song was form Fucking werewolf...so yeah that's my point.
RaderaAwww yus
SvaraRaderaGibe plox http://steamcommunity.com/id/420blazeitsnuupdawg/
SvaraRaderaDid you read the post orrr...
RaderaDude seriously thought if they said no need to pos Steam accounts it means don't fucking do it, Cactus could be searching for questions but if the comments are filled with Steam accounts is harder to find a real comment and it's just like spamming.
RaderaSorry if I made myself look like a jerk.

SvaraRadera(Sorry for english)
SvaraRaderaAmazing work!
So, i have a question. What about a custom character? For example, we can choose from avalible perks (Walk faster, etc.) or play styles (Roll dodge, killing punches) name it as you want and reskin it (Masks sprites or full sprite sheet). I know, its very hard to make it, but it's just an idea C:
P.S. Cactus, You are genius! Lovecraft game was a first indie game that i played :D
No custom character, but you can mod the sprites.
RaderaI want beta so bad!!!
SvaraRaderaHey Cactus! It's me again
SvaraRaderaSo, Are the achivements going to be disable in the editor?
because a lot of people could chesse them like Combo God (20 combo) and it wouldn't be the same well except with Genocide (50000 kills) because let's face it you were really high when making that fucking achievement I mean I've done Genocid but with the editor would be easier and you don't require skills for that one but the other ones should be disable for the editor.
(Sorry for too many questions and a big text)
Mmm i think that if they add new achievements for multiplayer like COMMUNITY BEAST(Beat 20 online levels) and they modify the achievement Genocide so it can only be completed in story mode it would be great.
RaderaPD: wow you really are a huge fan of the game hope see your levels in the future :D
Den här kommentaren har tagits bort av skribenten.
RaderaThank you but, Why would you want Genocide can only be done in the story mode?
RaderaThat's the only achievment that should be unlockable in the editor as I said before because you don't really need skills just time.
And I will make levels but I not sure if I'm going to upload them because I suck at level design.
I'm not sure* Fucking typos of mine.
RaderaYou are right xD wrong idea from me. Anyway i think that any level that has been done can be well recieved and if you run out of ideas i was thinking in create a steam group for people who wants to remakee hlm1 in the level editor there if you remake a level if its possible to exchange levels a person could group all the levels made by different people in one VHS collection and upload it :)
RaderaThat's a good idea, I should talk to Abstraction about it. And yeah, sorry about Genocide, it should have probably been 5-10k instead.
RaderaIt's okay Cactus, we still love you.

Raderacactus how many patience the beta Editor
SvaraRaderaDo you mean "How many patience is needed for the Beta Editor? if so, too many :)
RaderaWe all want the editor but repeating the same message again and again wont do anything :p just keep calm.
Raderaideas for add new achievements hot (beat your 1st online levels)
Raderasuper blood (beat your 10 online levels)
man is not (make 10 online levels)
calling all blood (beat 70 online levels)
ok i be keep calm i just what to know
If I'm interested in the beta, can you guys send me a code? I would love to get access to the beta because I am eager to get started on my custom campaign idea for Hotline Miami 2!!
SvaraRaderaEveryone will get it, I'm sure the intructions for getting the editor will be simple, so no need to say that!
RaderaHey, cactus...who is this guy...? (not a mod)
SvaraRaderahttp://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/385413236998588980/EDDA62CDBF1D0CB1DCA8F6FD2F75C0433BFCD9B4/
Mmm i ain't cactus but i have seen him at the beginning of the game in the chapter midnight animal the guy who is runing from you in the first floor probably someone who the devolopers know cause most of the people in the game are based on real persons(only their appereance)
RaderaIsn't that guy from Midnight Animal (It's a glitch if someone were wondering)
RaderaYea this is a Glitch if you try to execute the ganz leader barehanded but let go. Then this guy appears. I think its because theres no unarmed gang leader sprite so this filler sprite appears, i think
RaderaCan we have cutscenes that trigger when all the enemies on a floor are dead?
SvaraRaderaWell you can add an outro cutscene so that would be the same...I think?
RaderaThat's not what I mean. According to the post back in May, the only way to trigger a cutscene within a level is to walk into a specific area. I'm asking if we'll be able to trigger cutscenes automatically after killing every enemy on a floor.
RaderaI hope that the community made levels will be good, and not just "JACKETS THROWING CHALLENGE" or "THE FANS 99% IMPOSSIBLE" or "COD RUST REMAKE" or "EVAN WRIGHT MELEE ONLY CHALLENGE" or "LEVEL FOR TOBUSCUS" or "MY SCHOOL" or... I think you get the point.
SvaraRaderaYou can help by making decent levels that are not 100% linear and are not for Jacket or The Fans.
xDDD you definetly made my day with the FOR TOBUSCUS i suppose there will be a rating where you can give an 0-10 puntuation or 0-5
RaderaIt's 5 stars.
Radera((Don't mind my username it's trash.)) Hello, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to bring this up but, I would really hope that the Playstation group also gets the level creator. I know it will be hard to port it to fit the console versions of HM2 but I would totally be willing to wait longer than PC for it. Even if we do not get the creator it's cool, I hope the community levels are at fun. Thanks bye :)
SvaraRaderaThis has been answered many times...
RaderaBesides, Can you imagine how akward the editor would be with a controller?
The plan is going to be that you can download levels form the community of Steam.
RaderaWill I be able to spawn enemies that start off unarmed (but run for a weapon when they see one?)
SvaraRaderaWhen ???
SvaraRaderaI have three questions concerning the editor:
SvaraRadera1. Will you be able to use literally any of the games music in levels such as, Dust in an action level?
2. Is there any music that didn't make it to the game that you plan to put in the game, such as the trailer music?
3. Are you sure the editor cant make it to consoles? The reason I ask this is because there a already a majority of console games (even on ps vita) that have level editors such as: Little big planet, sound shapes, gravity crash, stealth inc and more. I'm sure you could pull it off.
Love your games (HM2 is my favs) and love you guys. Looking forward to what you create in the future.
1-Cactus said something about offline music, and other people said something about modding the music in Steam.
Radera3-There is a tons of reasons why it can't make it to the console version
-You need to write items, so you can find them easly.
I don't really know how to explain the other reasons but I can't tell you that is easly with a keyboard and mouse.
-
You'll be able to use any song in the game for custom levels.
RaderaOH and also, the console version of hlm2 has the same bugs you guys patched on pc in the last bug fix update a while back. Just figured I would report :)
SvaraRaderaI RETURN, with a request...do you mind adding the HM2:comic menu theme to the level editor?
SvaraRaderaAND NOW I LEAVE...not really.

RaderaMiss Minnie (Auto Delta Time)
RaderaIt is there, in the intro of Blood Money (I think I haven't check that out)
RaderaBut yeah I'm sure that the song is there.
If there is infact a leaderboard for custom levels: You know how in the regular campaign leaderboards, you can tell which fan someone used, but not which Son or Beard ability they used? please fix that.
SvaraRaderaThere won't be a leaderboard for custom levels.
Raderahey guys, i got a few questions, will it be available for playstation(3,4,vita)? Also, will jacket have his play style (choosing masks, body shield, rip out throats) like he did in HM1? thanks for the game guys, one of my favorites. i hope to see more content coming from you guys.
SvaraRaderaNo consoles!
Radera2-Jacket can choose masks, but no body shield
i'd love it if you guys could spare me a key.

Raderayeah I'm interested in the beta too :D
SvaraRaderaI downloaded the Hotline Miami 2 spritesheet for Beard, then i went on paint and changed it so I can make my own character. So I have my own complete sprite sheet, is there anyway I can put it in the game through the editor?
SvaraRaderaProbably not through the editor, but you can already apply the patch using HLM WAD Explorer.
RaderaBut im using mac, will I still be able download the HLM WAD?
RaderaI would love to try this.
SvaraRaderaHow will we receive the level editor early beta?
SvaraRaderaCan you read the another comments, people made, I said before "We'll know how to, it can't be something complicated"
RaderaPlease... Just a gift!
SvaraRaderaFor me... forme... FooOOOoormidable!
For all the people who is asking "when" or posting Steam accounts, or just simply asking questions without reading.
SvaraRaderaFuck you, and sorry but really guys just stop please.
Damn tony is angry care with his punches guys xd
Raderafun fact: the henchman posted his steam account, thats the reason tony came after him in execution :)
