Grey Hack News

Hello everyone!
I would like to share with you the latest news about the development.

The public version can already be considered stable and this means that the next development cycle has already begun. Therefore the public version will not receive updates for a while, (unless there is a need to fix some critical bug) until the development of the Nightly Build ends and merges as usual.

As many of you already know, the nightly build is the development branch where new game features are added before moving them to the main branch. Initially it will be available only for debuggers, and later once it reaches a playable state, it will open up to all players to help with testing before publishing on the main branch.

As we saw in the announcement of the last merge, all the planned gameplay elements have been implemented and the Roadmap is almost complete, so we only have one more Nightly build until version 1.0 to get out of Early Access, in which I will focus on finishing the last pending elements of the roadmap.

Now that we already have Music, the elements that remain to be developed include deep bug fixing, a complete Tutorial rework, more missions, QOL improvements, and a complete revision of the logic of the stocks companies in addition to balance and adjustments of existing systems.

One of the main points of this Nightly is the Tutorial rework. It will expand considerably the current tutorial, with extra visual aids so that it is more intuitive to follow. In addition, a series of special missions will be added that will serve as support to the tutorial, so that the introduction of new game elements to the player is more pleasant and easier to learn. The Manual will also be expanded to try to have the maximum parity possible with the new tutorial, in this way any information can be consulted without necessarily having to restart the tutorial.

The Nightly build will be available for everyone during Q1 2026, including the new tutorial, the first batch of new missions in the Hackshops and Police Stations, as well as the first adjustments and balancing of the Stocks system. The remaining features listed above will be implemented during the public nightly period since these parts will especially require feedback.

Exciting times are coming!
Thanks for your support.
