Hey all, sorry for the late post!

As usual, we'd love to hear your thoughts on Mordhau - any comments, questions, feedback, constructive criticism, etc. are highly appreciated and very helpful for us to continue development.

As for progress notes, I wasn't able to make this meeting (other commitments today) so I can't speak as to what we've been up to. Expect things to be back to normal next week, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

EDIT:
Howdy - I got back to the 'office' and caught up; apologies for not getting this information out sooner.

• This week's main news was including our private testers in our playtests of the next update, so we can deliver as polished an update as possible. Testing mainly consisted of further tests of our first Eastern Invasion map; Noria, as well as testing our newest Brawl map Cortile, which will be included in this update as well.
• Additionally, we've been doing a once-over cosmetic addi...

so for #2, you get gold if you leave a match halfway - I'm just not sure if you get gold if you're kicked from a match. The issue with the gold is that you just get 0 notification from the game that you actually made any gold, so most people think you have to complete a match to get rewards.

We're looking into a public test environment, but it's not something we can spin up for this update. Definitely something we'll be doing goring forwards though.

We can't really give ETA's, as we rarely know them ourselves until a week or two out from a release :(

Unfortunately the engine update absolutely screwed our dev progress - we expected ~2-3 months, and it ended up being closer to an entire year. All the new people we brought onto the team have been speeding things up, we just had a massive roadblock in the way :(

1. I'll bring it up, we're still tracking down some issues with a desync bug,
2. So if you leave a match you get gold (it's not very apparent though) but as for getting kicked, I'm not sure. I'll ask the team and see what's up.

oops, 11/30-12/6. you know what I meant

Hey all,

As usual, we'd love to hear your feedback - any comments, concerns, constructive criticism etc. are welcome. This information is absolutely useful for keeping us on track with developing the game, and we appreciate it greatly. As always, please be civil and constructive - thanks!

As for progress updates:

In regards to Eastern Invasion, we're pretty much in the testing phase; as of now, most development is now on smaller additions and tweaks. We've still got a handful of things, such as finalizing voices, music, lighting build, etc. but the bulk of the work is done on the map and most of the content. Our main priorities now are testing Noria and bug-squashing.

Speaking of Horde, it will be getting a major redesign that we'll touch on soon - and show off some content. These changes will hopefully add tons more depth and replayability to the mode.

Last but not least, we're in touch with Epic to begin the release process of the SDK. We...

I disagree, but either way it's better to release an SDK than throw our hands up and quit. That doesn't help anyone.

Thanks for the ideas - I'll forward these to the team :)

Dm me about this please , thanks - Jax#0553 on discord

It's fixed internally, will be in the next update.

Hey all, sorry for the late post today!

As usual, we'd like to hear your feedback on the game - constructive criticism, feedback, questions or concerns are welcome. Please keep things on topic and respect one another, thanks! Even if people have issues with the game or development, we'd like to hear them; it absolutely helps us in improving MORDHAU.

As for the usual meeting notes, we're going to skip them this week; there's been some (valid) criticism that we mostly repeat things in these threads each week. It's true, but also the nature of development - things can take a while to get made, and a lot of the time progress is just more of the same stuff. This being said, we're looking to have some more transparency on development going forwards - you'll probably less random meeting notes, and instead we'll talk about relevant things more in-depth.

A few little notes, though, to keep y'all up-to-date on what we're doing:

1. We're eyeing some potenti...

A little weird, but I can't see anything that stands out as undeniable evidence of cheating. I'll ask the mods for a second look, though. Please DM me on Discord as well so I can follow up with ya: jax#0553 (gotta be in the mord discord though to dm me)

Secondly, thanks for not posting info about the person - we don't mind if you guys are posting about cheaters (we're not trying to hide anything/suppress info on the sub) but we want to avoid posts that are showing specific people's identifying information, because it can lead to vigilantism/witch-hunting. Thanks for being cool about it :)

Lastly - if you report someone to our moderators and we don't find any evidence, the person isn't cheating, non-bannable offense or something, etc. we don't punish reporters. We'd rather people report stuff if they're feeling a little suspicious and it turn out to be nothing, as opposed to the opposite.

edit: added mention of op and extra info
...

We're aware of this, i've brought it up to the team

Chivalry had horizontal FOV, we have vertical. Our 101° limit equals 130° FOV horizontally.

We can't really give timelines, sorry. If we could we would.

use=/= abuse

the game is balanced around it, and we're trying to make the combat feel more responsive going forwards, i.e. less restrictive lockouts and then other ways to bypass defense.

Not a bad idea, I'll bring it up to the team.

We haven't had much support for uSDK mods, but we'll have some resources available and hopefully some good lines of communication with modders once proper tools are out.
