Hey everyone :)

As always, we're always thankful for any feedback or comments you might have about MORDHAU. Any constructive criticism, questions, feedback, comments etc. are absolutely welcome and super helpful to us!

We're skipping development notes for this week - it's pretty much just the same stuff in regards to bug fixing and working on some other miscellaneous content. This being said, we're at the stage where we think that we should be able to release the engine update sometime this month, if everything goes right. We'll be doing some testing tomorrow and we think that we've fixed a decent chunk of the issues we've been having with the engine upgrade. I'd like to apologize for this update taking so long; we thought it would be quite a bit easier than we had planned, and we didn't think we'd encounter as many bugs as we have. We're hopeful that this upcoming patch should fix quite a few issues, improve the game, and let us focus on tons of content in the futu...

Yeah, I think right now it's just that the horse stuff is a tiny part of the gameplay loop, and we're trying to iron out core combat issues and do code-related stuff for the engine update/etc. that's not really letting us focus on this. If we have the time I'm sure we'll take a better look at making horse combat a lot better.

Spooky season :)

Believe me, nobody wants the patch out more than I do :))

So, chat reporting will be super streamlined and take like two clicks, but other forms of reporting will still be manual (but with instructions, yay). We don't have stuff in place to record demos on the server side (even more packet loss if we did) but this at least gives us a good foundation to expand later if we're able to figure out ways to track other behavior.

I think we talked about a glowy outline thing at one point, it's a decent idea :)

Eh, it's not something we're particularly interested in. There is still an insane amount of medieval stuff that's in-period we can add, so we're gonna focus on that for now.

Yeah we took a look at this, it's definitely possible. The map wasn't exactly design to be played this way, but we can make something work :)

We're actually looking to make more variants like we have for grad, etc. They aren't super-fresh content, but they're still content and anything could help at this point. Annoyingly, things aren't as simple as they might seem, but we've definitely been focusing on hiring more level designers and game design folks to speed things up.

Some people have figured out how to mess with the UI - it's similar to the people that have like 100 million MMR if you see that in the leaderboard. This is limited only to the UI, the message is just them trying to scare people.

We're working on a fix.

Hey all,

As usual, we'd like to hear your thoughts on Mordhau and what you'd like to see in the game. We're aware of the general sentiment around here, and we're absolutely trying our best to get more content out to players as soon as we can. We've been talking quite a bit on how to get more information out about what's coming next, and I'll try my best to keep you all in the loop. Thanks for being patient, and we're exciting about what's coming for Mordhau in the future <3

• Good news! We have brought on a new developer, Jonathan, as the Development Director. He'll be assisting with the day-to-day stuff , organization, etc. and having him on the team should help to boost our productivity :)
• SDK update: we've heard back from Epic, and they have verified the mod tools! Unfortunately, we're not out of the woods yet - we still need to optimize a few things and squash a few bugs. At the moment we're figuring out those problems, and we may be deciding on bun...

It's our #1 priority 👍

We're actually working on a wooded map, kind of similar to this. More details once it's in a state that can be shown off ;)

We are working on getting things done - unfortunately we can't give exact estimates so that's why I'm primarily sticking to "we've done x y z this week" as I'd at least like to keep you guys informed on what we're working on.

As for your other points:

1. This would unfortunately slow down development - maintaining two separate version of the game would be kind of unmanageable for a team of our size.
2. So at the moment we're focusing on just releasing the official SDK - and once that's out, it should help a ton with making the lives of map modders, etc. easier. It's unlikely that we would add modded cosmetics in, as that becomes a pretty crused rabbit hole of trying to make sure things aren't the IP of some other company, compatibility issues etc. That being said, the SDK should be pretty huge - and we can look into the idea of map contests, etc. in the future as well!
3. Yep, something I'm talking to the team about. Like I said, we can't accuratel...

It's something we're considering. At the moment we're just focused on getting it released!

Hey all!

As always, we'd love to hear what you all have to say about Mordhau. Any suggestions / comments / critiques are welcome, as long as they're constructive! As for a general update, not too much is changed. We're mostly focusing on getting some last-minute improvements in, fix issues, and fix bugs that pop up from the fixes we do. Anyway, here are some notes from this week's meeting:

• Right now, our main focus is testing and bug fixes. recent changes have introduced some bugs which we're smashing.
• In terms of the mod SDK, we've heard back and the verification process should hopefully start this week!
• As for these bugs, we've found quite a few navigation issues on the new Brawl map, so we're getting that sorted. Should be pretty simple to fix those issues.
• Some work on console stuff is ongoing. (Side note: one of our dev's main responsibility is to do console stuff, so this doesn't detract from PC development.)
• New mo...

We're looking into some tweaks on repair stuff as a whole, so we'll see.

Maybe down the line, but not currently.

For one, we're getting rid of the 80p servers - but if we weren't the tickrate wouldn't really change anything. Yes, there would be more stuff recorded by the servers per second, but the downside is that the server would just die and things would be worse.

edit: for clarification, we're changing the 80p servers back to 64p servers.

I'm going to be doing another mod wave soon. The moderators have a lot of power and so I try my best to make sure the ones we add are trustworthy people 👍

EDIT: We should also be adding player reporting for chat features soon, and some instructions that players can visibly see for reporting other things as well. This should make the existing mods more efficient.
