Good morning, Hack and Slime players!
We have HUGE news for our followers. This will be the last update where we maintain the "old" version in the main branch. What changes will this bring for players who haven't tried the open beta?
First and foremost, we want to apologize for any inconvenience, as the most significant change is that saved games from the Construct 3 version will simply disappear, as they are not compatible with Unity or the vastly different game you will see in March.
You will have 2 characters available with dozens of abilities that will be implemented over time. Now, Hack and Slime will not have a character-based story; instead, these characters will be avatars to represent the player (similar to Diablo 1, 2, and 3). The Warrior and the Mage, each with 15 active skills, 20 annexed skills, and 15 passive skills. That's 50 skills per character!
Dynamic lighting, improved physics system, new biomes, new enemies, new NPCs, and billions... (European billions, not billions) of pieces of equipment and weapons, with nearly infinite combinations. We've added charms, rings, and essences, as well as unique equipment pieces for all character levels.
All of that and much more is on the way, although once again, we'll have to start with a series of updates to include all this content. That's why we want to ask for your collaboration and feedback on the Bullwaresoft Discord, to improve Hack and Slime and make it the best Hack and Slash possible.
You just have to follow the link above, say hello, and request to be beta testers to gain access to the official testing thread.
We know that the journey to our dream game is long and difficult, but we have you to accompany us :)
Odín Campoy,
Director and designer of Hack and Slime.
