Haste Patch: Addressing your Feedback + Animated Trailer!

[h3]Hello everyone! This is the first Haste patch, fixing bugs and addressing some of the feedback we’ve gotten since the game came out. [/h3]

[h3]FEEDBACK[/h3]

We’re seeing your feedback and we’re listening!

Haste is too hard - we’re making some tweaks to fix that in this first patch.

The team and our testers have been playing this game for three years and have lost sight of what it would feel like to play for the first time. We’re rectifying this now based on your brilliant feedback.

We also have more tweaks coming in the future!

(If you enjoy the game being really hard, don’t worry, we have something coming for you as well.)

HASTE Devblog #6: Stats, Mod Support & Much More!

Hey everyone!

[h3]We're cooking up lots of good stuff for the full release of HASTE, so let's jump right into it![/h3]

Lately, the team has been working on an area where you can view your player stats and unlocked items, as well as a meta progression system. You'll also be able to see stats after each Shard run too!

We're improving the tutorial, testing out the endless Shard, and adding new biome variations that can pop up during runs, like this sunset desert biome!

The HASTE Discord is growing and we're so excited to see new demo players in there every day! There's been lots of incredible fanart posted already, along with crazy speedrunning records and mods for the demo. We're thrilled that you're all so excited to get stuck into mods for HASTE, and we wanted to remind you that we're working on Steam Workshop support for the full game!

We're also in the process of finalising the soundtrack, which will be released on Steam and all streaming services when we launch the game!

We promise it's not long now... 👀

HASTE Devblog #5: Courier Timelapse & Thank You!!

[h3]We wanted to give a massive thank you to everyone who has been playing the HASTE demo![/h3]

We've received lots of helpful feedback and we're working hard to make the game even better, thanks to your comments and bug reports. So much love is being put into every element of HASTE, and we're super grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share their thoughts.

At the moment, we're working on new items, improving the flow of the level select screen, trying out some sort of endless mode, more music, environment polish and loads of other stuff!

If you haven't already, join the HASTE Discord and let us know what you think! The HASTE devs are having a great time chatting with you all and sharing insights into the game's development, and we've been blown away by all the excitement for the full release.

While we're busy locking in to finish the game (accurate depiction above), we wanted to share a timelapse of the incredible Savannah working on the Courier's model!

Zoe (A.K.A the Courier) has changed a lot over the course of development, but we really love the look she has now, and our artists have done an amazing job bringing her to life.
