Welcome to July’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I managed to code nearly all melee and ranged weapons in the game, and even released a few of them on the experimental branch. I also fixed all the levels so that they are now in a playable state. I was going to focus next on the profiles system for players, but decided to push them back until next month. Instead, I decided to design power-ups and specials for the game. There will be more information regarding them next month.

Welcome to June’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. So talks with a third-party have progressed further and it looks like I will be releasing a different Akuto: Mad World to the one I planned. I got quite a lot of work done this month, but most of that was deleting old code. The process has started to mold the game into the new vision, which I hope to have ready for release in around 9 months. This might sound like a long time away, but with the amount of work to do, it is the earliest the game can possibly get ready.

This Friday and Saturday (June 1 and June 2), I will be showcasing Akuto: Mad World at Norwich Gaming Festival.

This will probably be one of the last times I will showcase the game before the final release. I might also showcase an experimental version of the game for a few hours on Saturday to get feedback on what people think.

As usual, you will be able to play the game, buy merchandise, and buy Steam keys for a discount.

Come say hi and play the game.

Welcome to May’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I did not get much work on the game completed as I would have liked, due to handling the business side of game development. Depending on how the next few weeks ago, Akuto: Mad World could become a completely different game when it is completed.

Welcome to April’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I moved the online matchmaking away from Steam and started to host it on my own servers. This has fixed many gameplay and online issues, specifically with the lobby. I have also updated the GUI for all of the menus, apart from the controls menu. This means the game looks better and handles better than a month ago.

Welcome to March’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I had to go to TWO long conferences/workshops, so work was spent mainly on the server-side for the online mode of Akuto: Mad World. I also went to GDC (Game Developers Conference) to showcase the game at the Xbox Lobby Bar. On the other days, I had some meetings and had a chance to speak to other developers on what they used for online mode. In the end, I decided to stick with P2P for the online mode, and host the matchmaking system on my own server.

Welcome to February’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I didn’t get much updates out for Akuto as I would have liked. The main reason for this is that I relocated Hut 90 to the USA. Yes, that’s correct. Hut 90 is now officially a USA company. Most of the paperwork is completed now, which means I can get back to completing Akuto: Mad World.

I have managed to complete all the online levels and am now going to look at fixing all the online bugs and updating the matchmaking system. What I want to do is have the matchmaking system not rely on Steam, so that non-Steam players can play online as well. Maybe even try having cross-platform online. But this won’t happen next month, but the month ever more likely. This is because I have two big events next month where I will be working more on the business side of Hut 90 instead of the game development side.
