Mordhau Dev Tracker

We can look into some new cosmetics for sure. As I've mentioned in a few past threads, we can't really hotfix after a few weeks, which is something we've looked at changing.

IMO the bows need to just be more fun; they're not terrible in terms of their effectiveness, they're just... unsatisfying to use. Animators are tied up a bit with the melee stuff animation reworks that are ongoing, but it might be something good to look into afterwards!

Fair point, if I have to guess we'll probably have a minor update after Arid and before the next major update; we could probably knock out quite a few for that. I'll bring it up to the team!

Some historical emblems have unfortunately been repurposed by some... unsavory political ideologies, so a few aren't able to be added. Considering how some of the community has gained a pretty bad reputation, we have to err on the side of caution. This being said, there are a ton of historical emblems that are possible for us to add, and we can definitely look into getting more heraldry in-game in the future.

At the moment all of the artists that would make emblems are either making Arid, or working on the Armory update. After Arid, we might have a bit more freedom for smaller additions to the game, but as of the past few updates we've been trying to focus on the biggest bang for our buck when it comes to content. Hope this helps!

i have no idea if is sarcasm or not

but thanks!

or uhh sorry you feel that way :(

Hey all!

As you might know, we've switched to dev meetings every two weeks, and people have seemed to want us to also shift these posts to bi-weekly as well. Like usual, we'd love to hear any feedback on the game, whether that be comments, suggestions, constructive critiques, etc. Please keep things on-topic and be nice to one another.

Also, we'll be keeping a bit of a running log of some known issues and prominent planned changes, as per feedback on the last post. Some of those are:

• We're aware of people building stuff in the sky; while some of this isn't disruptive to the game, unfortunately people are abusing it and griefing matches. We're looking at ways to fix this for the next update, while removing disruptive players from officials for a little while.
• The scimitar will be getting tweaks to bring it more in-line with other weapons.
• Team switching restrictions will be changed; after the first few minutes, teams will be unlocked. ...

I've yet to see any actual evidence of him being abusive, if I get any I will be able to actually see what's going on and take action (if needed).

Planned for next update - after a few minutes into the match, teams will be unlocked.

Hi

Our version control doesn't really allow us to hotfix past a few-weeks window.

When we release an update, there's about 2-4 weeks where we hold off on putting in-progress stuff into the 'code', which allows us to fix issues. Once we've past that point, we start adding development, WIP kinda stuff back into the game. Once we do that, we can't really go and fix things from the old build, because there's no guarantee that we'd be able to port that stuff back and make it functional.

I'm doing a terrible job explaining this, but I hope it gives you some insight. We have looked at changing how we do things in the past, but we didn't finalize that due to some technical issues.

Shields with fists aren't something we're really looking into, since fists are actually an OP weapon that's held back by the fact you can't parry :D

Those issues have been addressed + fixed internally, I think I posted about it about 3 (?) weeks ago. That being said, I should keep them rolling over into each post, as sort of a 'planned fixes'/known issues kind of deal. Good suggestion!

To clarify a bit on the question I'm asking at the end:

We're moving our meetings to every two weeks, so that way the devs can have more work actually done before reporting in. It's also helpful since for me the meeting is at 7/8AM, but for the bulk of the team it's at around 8PM. Makes life a bit easier for all parties involved.

This means that there can't be weekly dev notes; while I can see that there is stuff being done, I don't really have a ton of context aside from some commits to the internal build. When we do the dev meetings, I'll often ask a bit for some clarification on certain things and for the okay to share other things. Without that additional info, I run the risk of not accurately portraying what's going on - also, some things are being developed but don't show in the internal changelog until they get added to the build.

So, back to the question; since I can't give weekly updates on dev progress any longer, do you want:

• Weekl...

Thanks yall :)

If we do weekly ones, every other post won't have dev notes. It's kind of a bummer, but at the same time it will be a bit less repetitive while also meaning that the dev notes will have a bit more 'meat' on them :)

As for development, here's a screenshot of what we've been working on for the past few weeks! Arid is coming along pretty nicely, especially with some improved workflows and also getting all hands on deck in terms of artists for development.

It was a weird loophole in some bot perms where it would reference everyone - sorry for the issue. It's fixed now though!

Hope not! It was some obscure permissions loophole.

We fixed it, unforeseen bot issue. :(

Like others said, there's non-console votekick functionality. We do need to make things more visible and communicate these types of things to players, though.
