The development server is now re-open to avatars. It will remain up for a couple of months. All player accounts previously on it have been removed so you'll need to signup again using your code from the Continuum. Any accounts you make there will be temporary for the purposes of testing.

Currently I wish to test the new sectors and changes I've made to most of the places inside the hive, hopefully that will not take long. The new combat stuff is still being developed and will be up for testing soon.

In the interest of keeping everyone appraised of the current situation, which I'm told I don't do enough. We have a new guy working at Hunted Cow Studios, who in the long run is going to take a lot of work from me and mean I can spend more time working on Legacy. Right now, I've had to set aside some time to bring him up to speed and sort out some side projects so he can finish work on them.

Work on Legacy will resume soon. Sorry about the delay.

Still working on the new combat system, I've pushed the first part of it live today just so it can be tested a bit at a time. The player search is now all within a single page via AJAX and built in to the Fight page. The rest of the combat system will be coming soon.

Got kind of side tracked on another project for HCS this week, so may not get everything done before Christmas that I was hoping. Didn't want to leave players concerned or worried about our future over the holiday though, so here is what is happening.

In January my main priority will be to finish the tutorial stuff and new Legacy combat system, above all else that will be getting done first. Once that is done we'll be announcing Legacy officially to the HCS player base, which is quite large. We'll see how the current servers cope, but we expect we'll need to invest in more hardware to cope with demand.

So stick around or take a break. But definitely come back in January and have a happy holiday!
