[ANN] Hash Rush – Official News, Updates & Community Thread

[siddartha1492]

I read your latest article on planet generation in Hashrush. https://steemit.com/gaming/@hashrushgame/dev-blog-generating-planets-for-hash-rush

I must say I am very surprised with how complex is the procedure behind generating a planet on Hashrush. I had 2 question regarding the info given in the article:

1) The planet in pre-alpha looked perfect. Has it been enhanced or the same?
2) There are some manual processes in the creation of the planet. But aren't players going to get a random new planet upon creating their accounts. Or you guys are creating presets of the planets right now and then a planet from those pre-sets will be assigned to the players, meaning that each planet might not be unique?

Hey there,

Glad that you enjoyed the article Siddartha. What people don't tend to see is that every small part of the game has a lot of thought go into it, generating planets is exactly one of those things. This is very typical of the gaming industry, it's why development costs can quickly become very big.

Regarding your questions
1/ It's been enhanced a lot. Pre-Alpha players will still recognise the game, but pretty much everything has had a makeover from textures to quests, to the gameplay. Think of the pre-alpha as a proof of concept.
2/ For now I don't have an answer to this question because it's something that we're actively working on. With HyperTown and Casual Connect, we're getting a lot of feedback from people who try the game - so we're making a decision later on. Additionally, we're going to have an alpha test phase (where people can play) and feedback from that will be used for how planets work in the end.

@saugwurm
That's the general idea, yes. Right now we are working entirely on the PC launch. However, we are already discussing how the mobile/tablet version will work and look. You'll hear more about mobile after our PC launch.

I don't know if you have Rush tokens or not, but if you have, then you should certainly join the official discord. The closed Alpha is going to launch very soon!!! And the full release will be somewhere near Q3 2018, where you can use your tokens to build your mining colony.

Hoping the bounty campaign will be announced shortly. Can't wait to promote this project!

I am in the project since pre-sale. And I also tested the very first version of the game. Good graphics, awesome idea. But it has been a long long time to wait.

Announcing the Hash Rush Alpha

After the success of our pre-alpha, we have been hard at work building and improving on every aspect of the game, and today, we are proud to announce the next step in the journey, a public alpha phase.

How to Take Part
Registration to the alpha starts now and is public so everyone can take part. All you need to do is visit our alpha registration page and register an account.

The actual alpha phase will start on the 31st of July and will run until the 28th of September. We’ll be giving you more information about what you can expect to find in the alpha between now and then.

A First Look at the Alpha
We are all extremely excited that Hash Rush will be moving to the next phase, the alpha. However, please do remember that this is still an early access period for the game and so some parts of the game will not be ready yet. The most notable features will be that all Blockchain related features will not be a part of this alpha, and only one race, the Ernacks, will be playable.

This does mean that players will not be able to use their Rush Coin in this phase.

What you can expect to find:

• The combat system, you will need to train your Ernacks to defend themselves against various threats.
• A marketplace. Even though Rush Coin will not be a part of the alpha, the marketplace will be in the game, so be prepared to craft, trade and sell items.

We will provide you with a simulated Rush Coin balance.

• Heavily improved Graphics and UI.
• Quests to keep you entertained.

Help and Questions
If you have any questions, the first step for you is to read our alpha FAQs (scroll down to the alpha section). If you cannot find the answer to your question, then either join our Discord server and ask us there, or send an e-mail to us at support@hashrush.com.

Otherwise, you are welcome to ask all your questions in this thread, we'll be happy to answer.

1) Will our progress be saved for main launch?
2) Will there be some kind of Alpha participation achievements and bonuses?

After all, the bounty has long been given away, who was to get this got rc tokens.

Does the official edition of the game still have the same deadline? Why there is still no bigger exchange, understand devs crypto is the money of the market and the product....

LOL, dude bounty prizes were distributed 7 months ago. Why are you asking now!

I also plan to participate in this project. I would be interested in becoming a member of the Bund campaign. maybe I will get a good reward.

There is no upcoming bounty. Bounties were finished more than 8 months ago. But content creation related bounties might launch in future, but only for high quality content creators.
