Greetings Everyone!
We hope everyone had a great holiday week! It was a little quieter around the studio than usual as some team members took some much needed time off to spend with their families. In true studio tradition we also did a small white elephant gift exchange on Friday the 20th with some rather entertaining results. Just in case you aren't familiar with the practice, everyone brings a wrapped gift and places it on a table (in this case a ping pong table). Everyone then draw numbers to determine the order and when it's your turn, you unwrap a present or steal one from another person (there is a 3 steal limit on an item of course). Me? I ended up with $15 in lottery tickets that gave me $7!
Next week of course is the week of the New Year and we won't be in the office on Wednesday. January 1st typically is a day of all-day breakfast and football for the fiance and me. I can't wait. We hope everyone continues to have a great holiday season and stays safe. Remember, don't just wish for a great 2014, MAKE IT SO! Anything is possible.
Speaking of a new year, it's been a little over a year since the game entered open beta and we couldn't be more grateful for the support. Not everyone may agree with all the decisions being made but that's exactly why we're in beta. We're trying different things and while we aren't quite ready to consider HAWKEN a finished game, we are getting close and as we've mentioned, it's something we're targeting for Q1 of 2014.
A couple of posts went up yesterday, one about the friends list and the other about an upcoming change to XP/HC boosts so please remember to check those out. There was a corruption in the friends database and the team is working on its repair. We are also changing the boosts to be a lower price and to give a slightly less boost amount. On January 7th we'll be temporarily disabling the purchasing of boosts to help ensure that any active ones have a change to expire at the full 2x before we enable them once again at the lower rate. We'll have more specifics available in the coming weeks.
For those of you curious about what's coming next, right now we are planning on a minor update in January and a major update in February. We aren't ready to talk specifics yet, but February will be a very big month for the game. So for now, please remember to file a support ticket if you're encountering any issues, enjoy the last of the holidays and we'll see you next week!
Thanks Everyone. Happy New Year!
