Hellsplit: Arena News

[h2]Hello, dear friends! 👋[/h2]

We are glad to see you again and today we have two good news at once!

As you know this year we have dedicated all our time to the development and integration of user generated content in our game, simply speaking - Mods! We are actively improving and polishing our game's basics, developing tools for content creation and thinking over convenient ways of interaction with mods for both, players and modders! And the first good news is that the mods will appear already in the next game update which will be released under the number 1.2! We'll make a more detailed announcement of this update later, but already now we want to say that this will be a major update with a lot of new content, the release will include both, the updated game and the Hellsplit: Workbench - our own modding tool, where everyone of you will be able to try yourself as the creator of your own unique content!

The second good news is that while mod support is still under development, we prepared a new update for you which you can download right away! So, meet the Update 1.19 - Polearms and Throwing Weapons.
This time we created two principally different weapon categories for you so that you can give a fitting rebuff to the undeads! Halberd is probably the most ultimative weapon in the game currently. Big size, huge mass and sharp blades - this weapon is endowed with everything to keep the distance and destroy the most dangerous enemies!



And for those who rely on the agility and not on the strength - throwing weapon is that you surely need in the fight. Shurikens and Throwing Knives will not take much space but become a dangerous weapon for the unprotected enemies. We have also added a Boomerang which can turn to a rather fearsome weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior and during the throws of which you can simply have rest in between fights!

And of course we would like to tell you more about the possibilities of our SDK. Did you ask us to add a modern firearms? You can easily create it yourself based on the templates which will be available in the SDK right from the start!



You are not really interested in the weapon and dream of level making? Creation of beautiful and interesting locations is rather simple thanks to modern options of Unreal Engine. Moreover, the entire content used in Hellsplit: Arena will be available in Hellsplit: Workbench as well, including additional 3D-model libraries. You do not need to spend hours online searching for necessary level models - just take the ready-made ones and start creating the levels right away!



Or may be you dream of your own sport VR simulator? Even that is possible, everything is limited only by your own phantasy!



Speaking of simulators, if you prefer racing games, we have agreat news for you! 😉




As you see, we plan to give you really great opportunities for creation of your own content. Some of it will be available right from the start, some will be added gradually, but each time we will strive to ensure that your work in Hellsplit: Workbench is highly comfortable, convenient and clear!

[h3]Good luck, warriors! 🗡️[/h3]

[h2]Hello, dear friends![/h2]

As you already know, we are now actively working on the development of our Mod SDK, but before it is released we wanted to please you with another update. Something that you have asked us for a long time has happened - the Daggers ⚔ are added to the game! Being available from the very beginning of the game, having a light weight and rather low striking power, they become at the same time an ultimative weapon due to their lightness and easiness to use. Thanks to its sharp blade, daggers can easily stab the enemy's ringmail, as well as the skeletons skulls, what makes them a perfect helper in the battle against the armored enemies.



Moreover, we have tried to make it as convenient as possible and added new mechanics to the game - interception of the weapon on the fly. All that you need to do is to push the button of the secondary action when gripping the weapon with one hand. Now the two most lightweighted swords have the same abilities - Short Sword и Nordic Sword and also Francisca axe.



In this update we paid special attention to the stabbing system (largely it is because we wanted to expand the possibilities of our system for the forthcoming Mod Kit). E.g. multi-stabbing has been added to the game, which allows you to literally pin the enemy with the sword or arrows to the wall and determine his fate. In general, the stabbing system has become more stable and comfortable. Hopefully you will like this update!
