Wild Warfare
Spring Cleaning Came Early!
As I'm sure some of your have noticed, we've made a few tweaks to Wild Warfare recently! Here's what we've done:
-removed shrubs
-removed chat window
-removed server select screen
We've also made some changes to how the servers work. We found that the "Quickplay" wasn't working the way we wanted it, so we are trying something new. Here is how it works:
Overlook - Team Skirmish
Greenhouse - Skirmish
Caldera - Snail Hunter
Gulch - Capture the Flag
As always, please let us know what you think of the tweaks!
- Wild Warfare Team
We're Back!
Since joining, Brian has already made a few tweaks to test out some improvements:
Balance:
-Engineer double jump force reduced by 25%
-Heavy first person view moved so that you can more precisely shoot over ledges and around corners without having to step too close to the edge that you might fall off.
-All Triggers for detecting when a user walks onto a jump pad, a powerup, or falls into lava, are enlarged to make it easier to trigger them.
UI:
-New Chat UI while in a match.
-Changed Keys for Opening Chat UI.
[Enter] - will default to all chat in free for all game modes, and team chat in team based modes like Capture the Flag.
[LeftShift+Enter] - If in a team based mode, will open for all chat.
-Chat UI moved closer to center of screen to make communicating easier for people with larger screens.
-Chat UI will only stay up for 5 seconds after receiving a message or typing one. Removing clutter from the screen.
-New Style should make it easier to read messages while removing background art for the panel so less obstructive.
Bug Fixes:
-Fixed a bug that caused the user to be stuck in chat mode without a chat window open if they had been typing in chat when a match ended and a new map was loaded.
-Fixed hole in the red side of CTF_Gulch.
We're going to be trying out a ton of new things, and live testings as much as we possible can. Please be sure to share your feedback, and send us any other suggestions, bugs or feedback that you may have. We always appreciate hearing from you!
Wild Warfare - What's Next?
It has been a little while since we last updated everyone, so we thought it was due time to let you all know what is going on in the world of Wild Warfare.
Since launching on Steam Greenlight, we've received a ton of great feedback, ranging from unit and item suggestions, to bug and troubleshooting information. We've also been able to launch 2 new maps, along with alternate game modes; Capture the Snail and Swarm. That brings us to the inevitable next question; what's next?
For the time being, we honestly don't know. As a small studio, we have to be careful with managing our time, as we currently have other live projects that require most, if not all of our resources. Based on that, we are currently unable to prioritize developing Wild Warfare further until we can afford to spend the time the game deserves. As you can imagine, developing a First Person Shooter is extremely time consuming, and until we find someone who can dedicate all of their time to developing the game, we're putting a pause on Wild Warfare.
The good news is that we are actively searching for that special someone, and you will all be the first to know when they arrive. In the meantime, please keep sending us your ideas, bug reports, and overall feedback with what you'd like to see within Wild Warfare. We are still going to have online meet ups, and we'd still love to talk with you about anything Wild Warfare related.
Thanks for your continued support, and please feel free to comment or write in to wildwarfare@Hyperhippo.ca if you have any questions.
Take care,
The Wild Warfare Team
Wild Warfare now Free to Play in Early Access!
We’ve had a great start in Early access, and we continue to receive valuable feedback from our amazing community. One of the biggest things we’ve heard you ask for, is a way to get more players into the game. Starting today, the game will be free to play, and we want to fill these servers! We would really appreciate it if you invited your friends on Steam to play Wild Warfare.
To those of you that paid early on, we really appreciate you taking a chance on us and supporting the product! We have already added 5 more bonus crates and keys to all of the Steam players who purchased the game. It’s our little way of saying thanks!
The Steam exclusive hat, golden gun pack, and bonus keys and crates are now going to be sold as a DLC option for new players, at a higher price of $7.99.
Be sure to check out the new map if you haven’t already. It’s called The Greenhouse.
New Map Launched - Greenhouse
Our team will be online at 4pm PST/7pm EST to battle it out with you on the new map.
See you there!
Attack of the Shrubbery!
The more creatures you take out, the more they will multiply. It gets pretty chaotic. You've been warned!
