Big things being worked on:

 

  • New mechs and reviving existing work-in-progress mechs
  • UI tech stack and how UI panels are constructed and handled
  • Storm updates - improve account sync times and improving global performance
  • Updates to project management and bug tracking
  • Onboarding new gameplay, art, and production personnel

 

The exciting part is we found the last key person.  He's a great gameplay and generalist programmer who has loads of wide-ranging experience.  We also brought on someone with great art and production experience.

 

I'm excited, and we're moving into high-gear development.  We are still a ways out from the first patch, but you will like the results.

 

After the holidays, we're going to start doing some introductions to the team.  We're going to resume more dev streams, and we're going to be ready to start really incorporating your feedback and ideas.  2016 is going to be a good year for Hawken :)

 

From all of us working hard on Hawken, we wish you a happy holidays!

I still don't see G2-Brawler in my hangar... but it is good news in general, I think.

I hope reloaded can rebalance game, fix ugly weapons combination, sustain/burst balance, incinerator, and fix exploits.
And yeah, I hope new game designer can making normal maps. Not crap like lostEco :3

Stopped playing, will return once there are actual updates / new content. It's good to hear that there is some progress, but based on that announcement I don't expect results before April 2016.

I'm extremely hyped for dev streams. Also I really don't want to sound like a broken record but can EU server performance be looked into a bit? It's not great right now :(

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

I hope you do some very, very thorough testing with skilled players, we don't need another Incinerator.

Can't wait for work on new maps!

 

I could say "That would be golden" but it isn't enough.

 

That would be platinum-en!

Oh lawd yes. An update involving new mechs is beyond reason enough for me to buy more MC / support the game some more.

can we plz get at least one grapling hook mech? 

 

i mean just think about it...

 

 just in the middle of wreckage, in some heavy sweat tdm 24/23 on the board and play have been gettin made all game...

"GET OVER HERE!" a light just gets snagged away from his could be prey and into the jaws of some vulcan or flak wielding hellhemoth 

 

thinkin heavy with some siege mode thing or a medium that could be susceptable to being hookshot dragged when used on the heavies or when it misses and catches terrain

 

definitely an ability thing, since its another level of balance hell should it become a weapon in any form

 


SORRY CAPS
