Hey everyone,
Welcome to Developer Briefing #81!
This week we've got a message from Black Matter and a very juicy AMA where Game Director Max answers your questions.
We're also excited to let you know that starting next week we'll begin to share with you some first official looks at the new content coming in Update 7...
A Message from Black Matter
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since Hell Let Loose first entered Early Access. As a team, we’ve worked hard to introduce as much content as possible, while also polishing, bug fixing and overhauling significant aspects of the game that we knew could be better.
This AMA interview was a great opportunity to sit down and chat through the philosophy behind the game and Black Matter as a studio. Over the course of the development of Hell Let Loose, our remote little team has grown in size and process - from individuals to departments. All the while, we’ve never felt better about pushing the quality and scale of every aspect of the Hell Let Loose experience as far as it can go. We hope that our upcoming Update 7 will best demonstrates that.
We also have to recognise how great it is for us as Developers to have such a fantastic community - that is both positive about the title and patient with us. This encourages us to be as open as possible about the future of the game, and the way that we work on it. It also enables us to continually question what could be better - or what aspect of the game needs work.
Ultimately, this is still the early stages of the development of Hell Let Loose - when we think about the years to come. The next Update will complete a huge part of the structural foundation for the game moving forward towards our release from Early Access. We’re incredibly excited to show you what we’ve been cooking up and we hope it excites you for what lies ahead!
A Message from TEAMDIXX! & Community x Black Matter AMA!
Here's Chuck:
Over the past several weeks, volunteer staff from the HELL LET LOOSE community have worked closely with the content production team at TEAMDIXX to combine and organize questions from loyal community fans and produce this highly anticipated Ask Me Anything video.
In this interview, Max, the CEO and Game Director at Black Matter, and TEAMDIXX founder, CHUCK DIXX, discuss the journey from the game's start-up, progression throughout the year, and features still to come.

Looking towards Update 7
That wraps up this week's Dev Brief!
We hope you like the AMA, there's a lot of great questions in there that have some exciting answers.
From next week, as promised, we'll be sharing new content in our briefings on the run up to Update 7.
You've all be incredibly patient and we look forward to finally starting to pull back the curtain on what you'll be getting stuck into in the near future.
Oh and in regards to the caption competition from last week, we've picked a winner and will be revealing all in the next Developer Briefing!
See you on the frontline!
