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.

Welcome to January’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. I didn’t get a chance to add in much content this much as I have been busy working on making all the levels work in online mode. So far, I have got 6 out of 10 levels working for online, with the goal of getting the remaining 4 finished in February. There was a big reason why not much was added in Akuto: Mad World this month, but I will tell that reason in next month’s dev log once everything is finalized.

Welcome to December’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. I can’t believe I have been working on this game for one year now. I thought the game would have been completed and released by now. But that was before I started creating online mode, and I can proudly say that the first version of online mode is released now. There are still lots of things to add, create, and fix for online mode, but it is a good start so far.

Welcome to November’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I completed the Steam Workshop integration with the game, and created an in-game gallery to view GIFs created by the players.

Welcome to October’s monthly update for Akuto: Mad World. This month I completed the level editor (with one minor bug), added a player-requested feature (disappearing ragdoll bodies), and a feature that no one asked for (capturing GIFs in-game).
