I’ve been floating a lot of ideas on this blog and generating a lot of good discussion, and quite a few of you find yourselves wondering:
“So … when can I try it?”
TL;DR: On Friday, you can try it.
I must emphasize that we’re still at an extremely early stage of development, and the game as you see it is going to be very rough around the edges (for example, there are already 11 bugs that I know of). If you’re hoping to see a finished, polished game, we kindly ask you to wait for the beta stage.
Currently, players are able to do the following things:
We’re currently looking for other servers to serve different parts of the world. We are aiming to get a minimum playing experience to as many people as possible!
I’m quite happy with the architecture of the game to this stage, but the #1 piece of feedback we’ve received during our limited alpha testing is improving the jitter characteristics. I’ll be spending this week working on that. Once I see some improvements there, we’ll unlock the doors and let you in to take a look! Our current target date for this is Friday, January 22.
After we open the gates, I’ll be keeping an eye on the servers. If they start going down, I’ll build a cap into them so that they will only accept a certain number of connections at one time. I don’t know what a suitable number of connections is, but I’ll find out by trial and error.
After the reveal, I will be working on adding missing features:
We are very excited to get this game in front of you, and look forward to your comments!
Hey guys, I’m really looking forward to this game, as an ex-admin of Brazilian Space Bounce league I wonder if this game will have community-made maps, with changeable physics an fields, since Space Bounce is a community made map. I have many ideas for leagues, but I won’t bet them on a dead game (haxball), so I hope this project never dies.
We have an huge community, so expect many unique visits on the first day.
Cheers.
Hi there,
For now, we’re aiming to reproduce the core experience of HaxBall. But yes, we are planning to support custom maps in time.
Great, keep it up!
Its good to see devs actually talking to players. When the game is polished enough, I have many ideas to share about features that are missing on haxball (I’m not a programmer so not sure about how hard is to implement them), and could be an nice boost to the haxarena, is there any way to contact you? We could share some thoughts in the future 🙂
Sure, shoot me any thoughts you’d like at csj@haxarena.com!
Sup! I’ve sent some ideas to your mail 🙂
Did you read it?
whatever the hell Richard is about to do and Ca;p#e&n8217os last line have me so fucking pumped for the finale. I thought this season was dragging and then the last 2-3 episodes have been so amazing and I don’t want it to end.Also, I think it’s pretty clear Nucky ain’t half a gangster anymore!
Quick question: will there be an option to mute “chat/player joined/player left” sounds? (They’re really annoying in HaxBall.)
I’ve noted this idea on our backlog, thanks!
We’re all looking forward for this game!
You guys are doing a fine job there, keep it up! =D
