ULTRAKILL 84 - Revisiting Heart of the Sunrise 

Thank you hakita now I can feel the trees without going outside

ever since limbo fell they expanded it with galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood veneers

Hakita and Victoria out doing art project, while Pitr and Heckteck are bashing their heads against walls making non-Euclidean geometry

1:12 I fancy thinking that Hakita would show the rest of the changes in the level, but he accidentally blasted himself. And posted this for giggles. This is exactly how I play when I get back on Ultrakill after a hiatus. Keep up the great work Hakita! You cooking full course meals with your stuff, haha.

i like how the visuals have been given a high quality overhaul and then you still have the malicious face embedded into the ground just looking like that with the old model

If this is how good limbo looks gluttony’s remake is gonna go hard

The tree leaves and bushes being holograms makes it actually seems like something made to mock the sinners as opposed to the older look where it just looks like regular low polly trees👍

i really like how there's a slight warm, golden glow to the scene now. both makes the palette more cohesive on a visual level, as well as underscoring the whole cheesy, mocking romanticism of the place

Woah. It looks so nice now! Really gives the 'fake grass and trees' and all that vibe a lot better. LETSA GOOOO!!!!!!!!!

hakita caught overpumping without dashing, asked to leave hell

I love how well the skybox and the actual ground/grass blend in with each other. It looks like it goes on for miles until you get close to the walls

i felt like limbo really needed this, honestly makes it feel way more how limbo was intended to be now.

HAKITA SPOTTED USING MALICIOUS RAILCANNON AT CLOSE RANGE, FANS CALL FOR RITUAL DISEMBOWELMENT

I always wondered it Hakita was gonna revisit old worse made levels and im glad to get a beautiful answer

the heart of the sunrise is real

Actually great decision with this visual overhaul, the later levels look so stunning they used to look like a different game

Looks amazing and is a much more convincing hell as well. An infinite expanse of nothing that you can't even enjoy wandering around even though you know if you could there wouldn't be anything stimulating to find, just more trees

this perfectly captures how it felt to see ultrakill for the first time back when the prelude just released

Ooooh, touching up old levels, always a nice thing to see. 😊 the hologram effect on the walls is def a huge upgrade, the illusion is more convincing and it feels less like the rooms are just "floating in the air" now (not quite sure how to describe it). Part of me will miss the old crusty trees though; in a way I feel like they kinda fit the fake aesthetic of Limbo (plus no more platforming on them), but the holographic look is still a nice touch.

THIS IS SO PRETTY YALL COOKED !!!!! 💕

Damn, it's not only new graphics, but also new lighting, which further emphasizes the falsity of this circle, and I love it.

I like how the seemingly neverending featureless plains makes it more unsettling in a way. I'll miss the windows 95 skybox but this is a really cool look for the area

My biggest gripe with Ultrakill was that there was a big difference between detail in the newer and older levels, so this is really great.

Just wanted to tell you guys that Hakita will use an Alt version of A Thousand Greetings for the first half of 1-2, but he won't add more tracks to Prelude tho

Hakita casually making every level better now

this shit looks so fire that i would reflect on my actions in the terrenal world for eternity in that place

YOOOO REVAMPED LAYERS???? I'VE BEEN THINKIN ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE SINCE AS HAKITA HAS GROWN IN HIS PROGRAMMING AND MODELING SKILLS, HIS LOOK OF NEW ULTRAKILL TO OLD ULTRAKILL IS BLACK AND WHITE, STILL REALLY GOOD BUT LESS DETAILED ETC. BUT SEEING OLD GO TO NEW I MEAN IMAGINE HOW WOULD GLUTTONY LOOK LIKE??? WHAT IF IT'S ALSO ENEMIES JUST IMAGINE A REVAMPED CORPSE OF KING MINOS :O

STOP UPLOADING YOURE BREAKING MY EDGE STREAK

I was thinking that Hakita would give the earlier levels a glow-up. This looks amazing

That's what putting on glasses the first time feels

i already see myself feeling nostagic over the way things looked before they were reworked to look better

Make those screens destructible, so that by the time you are done fighting - everything looks ruined.

thank GOD you guys are doing this. my only flaw i've had with the game so far is that, imo, act 2 is so much better than act 1 is almost distracting, but i feel it's the inevitable fate of games that are made chronologically/linearly like this, so you guys going back to make these levels up to par with newer ones will for sure make the overall game a much more well rounded package

Little Gabe worked as a bricklayer for 90 years and saved up all his money to buy a tiny apartment, not even his grandmothers coffin can fit in this apartment. Use galvanized square steel for a bed frame with extension screws borrowed from his aunt, aswell as eco friendly wood veneer that can last 10,000 years. Place down a soft mattress and soft paddings to ensure safety and comfort. Use the long lost Buddha Palm technique to expand the apartment vertically as a second floor to add a cabinet for Little Gabe's smelly socks and secret drawers to hide snacks. Put down a ladder for easy access and a trap door to hide the second floor. Put down a small fridge for Little Gabe's favorite drinks and beverages. Use galvanized square steel and more screws borrowed from his aunt to expand the second floor out of the window and install eco friendly wood veneer. Install a desk and a gaming set up for Little Gabe to play Ultrakill. Install sockets for easy charging. Install a bird cage for his pet eagle and suspend it from the ground for the pet eagle to have breathing room. Make a secret compartment below the floor. Finally, install grandmother's coffin inside of the compartment so that her soul will never leave us. Take this time to view the effect this rennovation had.

this is really the heart of sunrises isn’t it

I cannot tell you how much this is appreciated

I didn:t know y'all were going back and giving the old levels a revamp, but it looks extremely nice! Makes it feel like the first time I stepped foot into Limbo and experienced the trees all over again.

Finally we're getting gm_flatgrass in ultrakill

"Loves comes to you and you follow Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise..."

a welcome addition for sure

Hakita spotted using Kool Aid railcannon in close range

I love that the unused death physics are coming back into the game

Holy fucking shit it looks soo good now

I thought that fraud was just gonna be layer 1 again for a second, which honestly might make sense and be kinda funny.

An ultrakill graphics update is a thing i didn't know i needed

SHOW MORE SHOW ME GLUTTONY

I was so confused on what the walls of limbo were, but it makes a lot more sense now

the layer looks a lot more biblical now, which is a great touch. i noticed while playing yesterday that the textures in the game overall had become a lot better, making the game more... game-like and more realistic at the same time. thank you so much hakita, the game looks awesome now. btw, will you be adding other changes to the levels? since you want the older levels to be on par with the new ones, you may want to add some other gimmicks to make each layer more unique than it already is. imo, the heresy, wrath and gluttony layers could use some more gimmicks but you're the game maker, i'm just someone who's played the game for 300+ hours. again, thank you so much for ultrakill as a whole. also, i'm getting Sonic.exe The Spirits Of Hell: Recoded vibes from this

idk if they were always like this but i really like how the leaves on the trees are holograms

I like that you're revisiting and redesigning the aesthetic of old levels. I love the result of the structures and new colors. However, original limbo had something i like more in comparison with this version and it is that the screens look much more fake. Watching the wall screens moving in weird directions when the player moves away from them, revealing how evident they are. I feel that it contributes much more to the general feeling of the layer, a fake heaven that feels fake, the evident feeling of never reaching the real paradise. Opinions aside all new details looks really cool and i cant wait to see what you do with the other layers :3

v1 finally upgraded his camera

The level almost looks unrecognisable in the open areas. I love that he changed that empty feel to this

So happy for V1 for finally getting glasses!

I'm so happy a little visual overhaul is happening for act 1, I of course still love how it looked before, but the team has grown and improved so much since then and its awesome to see even more polish throughout the whole game.

Very beautiful, gotta say I like the new wall background, it actually works as an illusion

I thought it was gonna be Fraud lvl for a sec lmao. The way graphics just got better, and the leaves of the trees disappear felt like it was like an illusion that could send us to fraud lmao

My glorious king Hakita, thank you for making a new level. Praise the code

I LOVE the new terrain that you can see through the wall, it fits so well with that eerie and oddly liminal aesthetic of old PC games

it's cool how the game is coming along its fun to play can't wait for the next update

The walls actually feel real with this new skybox, and the idea of the leaves of the trees being hologram projections is just👌. This shit rocks

im not the only one who thinks this is probably the fraud layer right? i mean think about it while a redesign to the level is cool and all wouldn't it be absolutely insane to apparently drop down into limbo after layer 7 and then slowly finding out that in fact it is NOT limbo, but just a level that's pretending to be limbo. a fraud. im not CONFIDENT in this theory but i feel like it's plausible and it would be insane if it were true i think.

It looks significantly better! It actually captures the fake feeling way better than before. The screens are more noticeable and the trees looking more fake add a lot to the false paradise setting. I also love the glitchy screen to indicate where the soul orb is.

Hakita delivering some insane gameplay for us again :)

1:04 I don't know how I used to look at that part of the level and not wonder anything about why there's some random sudden elevation that 90% of entities can't cross in a level that seems otherwise quite human/lesser husk-friendly. The broken staircase makes a lot more sense.

thank you mr haktia for doing a remake of ultrakill from the orginal ps1, cant wait to play it on the ps2 🙏

Men do your best. I will wait. Your updates bring me more happiness then half entertainment that i consume and see. Thank you.

This is so awesome Hakita omg

Hakita has saved us. We can touch grass without going anywhere.

I hope old limbo is playable from the credits museum

Now imagine how clair de lune looks like.

machine, ive taken a selfi with the funny rock

i love how hakita just acts like an npc when not on battle

This feels like a Liminal space and I'm all for it

It's nice to make older levels feel new! Hope this continues to the other layers!

Ooh that's really nice! I'll definitely miss the old visuals when the update comes, but that's what screenshots and videos are for.

I thought you were going to try and give the coin to the fountain and it wouldn't open as a teaser to the fraud layer

hakita, you absolutely cooked with this, but I think that unless you remake them as well, the later levels will feel dull in comparison

You can now tell the difference of a vet and a new ultrakill player

This is great, I liked the old trees but those new ones are even better and the improvements on the decor really make this stand up to the later layers. Has the lighting been changed a bit in the first room or is it just the chromatic aberration that makes me feel like it has ? Anyways, great work as usual and I'd buy the game again for 60€ if I could

I hope this makes triggers for certain events bigger since I miss them some times when zooming past levels and having to backtrack to makes sure all enemies spawn

I don't know man, I know Limbo is supposed to drive people insane with the loneliness and the fact you can't have the real thing, but it's still probably the level I'd want to stay in just purely on aesthetic matters. I think it'd take me a while to really get sick of it.

this looks fantastic! i can't wait for all of acts 1 & 2 to look this good - will there be a Valvish skybox implementation for Lust instead of a flat texture across the ground to represent a city?

I was honestly hoping something like this would happen to some of the previous levels. This looks dope

I would honestly quite enjoy a general bump up in the visual quality of the game.

this is really cool honestly, lust is gonna look even better if this is what theyre going for

hakita burnt the whole kitchen

This looks stunning...

IMO trees could have stayed but the walls look far better now. Good job mr Patala.

I'm still a little mad there's no secret related to breaking all the speakers, considering I spent like 20 minutes trawling the level for all of them.

yo this is fucking awesome. Cant wait to see what you do with the rest of act 1, especially lust lmao. it will be so cool

If the full release has achievements, you should add one for breaking all the speakerboxes in limbo

You know what I think of for layer 8, if there was ever a boss for that, I would think of the boss to be seraphim

i love how much better/deliberately worse the skybox looks. gets the idea across way better

looks amazing, the illusion is far better now :) are the things in the tree stumps some kind of hologram generators?

Can't wait to see limbo burn with this one🔥🔥🔥

Entering limbo without paying to fontain's cerverus so he will not stand up is a heresy

thank you for making the secret easier to see. holy shit

Yoooo V1 got a new graphics card??

I really thought this was somehow a teaser for Fraud where after the red skull room it goes to straight hell

My trash pc that is already lagging watching this: it has never been more over
