In search of developing more tactile, mechanical games in the future, I decided to work on something totally driven by satisfying interactions, effects and feel, without relying on narrative for my next project. It's a collection of multiplayer sports games that are all fast and fun! I've just added the first new update sport, which is my favorite of the pack. It's got online play with rollback netcode, crossplay, AI's for every sport, and can have up to 8 players. It's out now on Steam and Switch. I hope you like it! Check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1301520/Wrestledunk_Sports/

Three years ago, on August 13, 2015, a game I’d been working on for a few years was released. I mean, it was actually the August 14th for me, since I’m in Australia, but it happened all the same. In that time, Hacknet has been played by over 1.4 million people. That number being so huge was helped a lot by the two 48 hours free giveaways we did recently, but even those bumps aside, the success and reach of the game has been so incredible. Thankyou so much to every one of you that played the game, spoke about it, recommended it, worked on extensions, hung out in the discord (https://discord.gg/7cHhVT9), and helped Hacknet become what it is today. It means the world to me. So Hacknet’s on sale again! https://store.steampowered.com/app/365450/Hacknet/ Also, I put together this album with all of the Hacknet and Labyrinths wallpapers in it if you’re interested: https://imgur.com/a/79JrcPq



I’m working on a brand new game now. It’s going to be something completely different - I needed a change of pace after 6 years of Hacknet stuff. I’ll be posting updates about that on my Twitter ( www.twitter.com/Orann ) when I’m ready! -Matt

There were loads of really amazing entries to HackerJam - the quality and variety of the entries blew me away. I'm so impressed by the whole community, and am excited to see what's still yet to come. Without further ado, here are the winners:

First Place:

Second Place:

Third Place:

Honorable Mentions:

Overall:

Exceptional Writing:

Best UI Theme:

Most brain-melting Mechanics:

Added

• Turkish translation! Thankyou to Serhat Çavunt for the excellent work on this!
• FastActionHost daemon: An optimized Action host daemon - this daemon does nothing except host delayable actions - but it is much more efficient at doing that than other servers. If you have lots of actions looping or in delay at once (more than 50, say) it might be worth moving them to be delay hosted on one of these instead if you encounter performance issues.
• Custom ISP Servers are now supported, but adding a computer with the ID "ispComp"
• HackerScirpts now support delete * commands to delete everything in a folder:
• Added a scroll functionality to the Extensions list for people with more than a page of Extensions installed.
• Added support for the * wildcard in the scp command to download all files in a folder. Usage: scp *
• Added better error reporting, recovery and automated tests for common extension errors.
• Added HideAllNodes Action Un-reveals all visible nodes from the netmap
• Added ShowNode Action Reveals a node on the netmap
• Added addRankSilent mission function: addRankSilent Same as AddRank, but it won't send a faction update report email
• Added needsMissionComplete check to the Instantly action condition.
• MessageBoard threads now support wildcards like #PLAYERNAME#

Fixed

• Fixed Custom Admin accounts not having the same full permissions as normal admin accounts.
• Fixed non-email alert icons not correctly showing alerts for @#PLAYERNAME# and @Channel notifications.
• Fixed descriptions in non-English languages not working correctly.
• Fixed HackerScripts interacting with whitelists being affected by the player's whitelist status.
• Fixed some cases where crashing during a screenbleed sequence would keep that effect.
• Incoming Connection alert will now only display on a connect command from a Hacker Script targeting the player, instead of whenever one was launched.
• Fixed non-standard characters not rendering in HackerScripts
• Fixed some errors with whitelist servers managed by a remote server not correctly checking their own system status.
• IRC and DLCHub daemons now support #PLAYERNAME# and other wildcards in IRC mesages and names.
• Fixed Sequencer ignoring the given spin up time and always using the default.
• Fixed the reboot command in Hackerscripts targeting the plaeyr instead of the intended target in some cases
• Fixed a crash that could occur when a HackerScript tried to delete a file that wasn't there

#HackerJAM

Hi all, After many months of work, delays, polish and refinement, I'm very proud to announce that Hacknet Labyrinths is now released on PC, Mac and Linux. http://store.steampowered.com/app/521840 To acess Labyritnhs, go to Entropy or CSEC and look for a contract called "The Kaguya Trials". More details here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=895065432 I'll be around to fix any bugs and help people out during launch week, but I'm also getting straight back to work, focusing on mod support. More details will be announce about that very soon!
To everyone that's been waiting for this - thanks for your patience. I really think the extra time spent on it paid off. Good luck in there! You'll need it. -Matt

Hi all, I'm excited to finally announce the expansion's launch date: Hacknet Labyrinths will launch at 8am PST on Friday March 31. I want to thank you all for your patience and support along the way. Labyrinths has been a huge undertaking, and ended up much larger and more detailed than I originally planned. It's over half the size of the original game in most ways, and more than that in others. You can get a glimpse in the new trailer we've just dropped and new screenshots on the Labyrinths store page: Labyrinths Store Page Hacknet Labyrinths Trailer
We can also announce that there will be a full new soundtrack for Labyrinths also available on March 31st. It features 8 new tracks from Rémi Gallego, OGRE Cinematrik, Tonspender and HOME. It will cost $4.99. Pricing the DLC has been interesting, because of how drastically it's size changed over development. In the end, we've decided on $6.99 as the base price for Labyrinths, to reflect the final size of the expansion. That being said, I did say "Around $5.00", so we're sticking to that, and launching with a 20% discount on Labyrinths and the Labyrinths Soundtrack to bring that price a bit closer to what I said.
Whilst I've been focusing on Labyrinths these last few months, this isn't it - we're also getting close to having mod support ready to go. There will be more news on that very soon. See you on the 31st, -Matt

Hi all, Right about now, I had hoped to be announcing the imminent release of Hacknet Labyrinths, the major expansion for Hacknet. Instead, regrettably, I’m announcing its delay until March 2017.
As with anything where you attempt to raise the bar on what has been done previously, the development of Labyrinths has been a huge, complex job. I'm not satisfied with making 'more of the same' - I think I can do much better. Building new systems that shake up the way Hacknet works, the way it feels, and the way it plays has meant taking some risks. Labyrinths has new tools and new targets that are more powerful and complex than almost everything in the base game. Building, balancing, and smoothly fitting all of this into Hacknet systems has taken a bit longer than I'd expected - but also partially because I found ways to take it even further then I first thought I could. On top of that there’s been additional considerations. When I released Hacknet, it was only available in English. Now I can proudly say Hacknet is available in eight different languages, including Korean, Japanese and Chinese! But while that’s opened up the game to a lot more people, unfortunately, it also means that when Hacknet Labyrinths launches, it needs to have already been translated into these languages. Something I need to allow time and testing for. While disappointing right now, in the end, the delay of Hacknet Labyrinths is going to be a good thing. The development that has been done on it is turning out really well. New tools, new targets, new team, new soundtrack, new themes, new secrets, new dangers. I'm not holding back. Thanks for being patient. -Matt TL;DR: Hacknet Labyrinths is going to be delayed until March, 2017. Sorry! But it’s going to be great.

Hello hackers! Just a quick announcement to make - Hacknet is now localised to support Chinese and Japanese! For those of you out there who prefer to use Chinese or Japanese over English, simply start a new save game and choose your desired language to begin the game.
To celebrate the new languages, Hacknet is now 50% as part of a midweek madness sale! So grab it quickly - the sale ends Friday 14th of Oct, 10AM PST.

Nach einem erfolgreichen Start auf dem PC, Mac und Linux, hat Hacknet heute einen weiteren Meilenstein erreicht. Das neueste Update bietet Übersetzungen für Deutsch, Russisch, Französisch, Spanisch und Koreanisch. Und um das zu feiern, gibt es bis zum 9. Juni 50% Rabatt auf Hacknet. Schon seit der Veröffentlichung war eines der am meisten gewünschten Features eine vollständige Lokalisierung des Spiels.
Hacknet besitzt eine Menge Text, sodass es Tausende von Dateien zu übersetzen gab. Letztlich war dies doch die Mühe wert, wenn auf diese Weise mehr Menschen unser terminalbasiertes Hacking-Spiel in ihrer Muttersprache genießen können. Vom 7. bis zum 9. Juni können Fans die Standard- oder Deluxe-Version, die den Soundtrack mit beinhaltet, erwerben. Dies ist der bisher größte Rabatt, den wir je angeboten haben und wir sind überzeugt, dass dieses Update dies mehr als rechtfertigt. Wir arbeiten auch an DLC, der etwa 3-5 Stunden neuen Inhalt für die Kampange anbieten wird; einschließlich brandneuer Programme, neuer Computer und Server zum Erkunden und jeder Menge neuer Missionen. Der DLC wird neben einem brandneuen, kostenlosen Update an den Start gehen, das dem Spiel Mod-Unterstützung verleihen wird. Die Mod-Tools befinden sich in Entwicklung und werden momentan von ausgewählten Community Content-Erstellern getestet. Bleibt dran für weitere Infos, während wir dem Release des DLCs weiter entgegenrücken.

Suite à sa sortie réussie sur PC, Mac et Linux, Hacknet a sorti aujourd'hui une importante mise à jour de localisation rendant le jeu disponible en allemand, russe, français, espagnol et coréen. Pour célébrer cet événement, Hacknet sera disponible à moitié prix jusqu'au 9 juin sur Steam. Depuis la sortie, l'une des requêtes les plus fréquentes de la part des fans était de pouvoir jouer à une version localisée du jeu. Hacknet contient beaucoup de texte, et il nous a fallu traduire des milliers de fichiers, mais plus de gens pourront désormais profiter de notre jeu de piratage informatique dans leur langue maternelle. Du 7 au 9 juin, les fans pourront acheter à moitié prix la version standard du jeu ou la version deluxe, qui inclut la bande-son. Il s'agit de la remise la plus importante que nous ayons offerte à ce jour, et nous pensons que cette mise à jour la justifie pleinement. Nous travaillons également sur le contenu téléchargeable, qui offrira 3-5 heures de nouveau contenu solo et inclura de tout nouveaux programmes de piratage, de nouveaux ordinateurs et serveurs à explorer, ainsi que des contrats intéressants à remplir. Le contenu téléchargeable sortira en même temps qu'une mise à jour gratuite qui introduira la prise en charge de mods pour le jeu. Les outils de mod ont été créés et sont entre les mains de créateurs de contenu de communauté de Hacknet enthousiastes. Restez à l'écoute pour plus d'informations alors que nous nous rapprocherons de la date de sortie du contenu téléchargeable plus tard dans l'année.

After a successful launch on PC, Mac and Linux, today Hacknet has released a major localisation update to release the game in German, Russian, French, Spanish and Korean. To celebrate, Hacknet is currently 50% off until June 9th on Steam. Since the release one of the most requested features from fans was to have a localised version of the game. Hacknet has a lot of text, which meant that we had to translate thousands of files, but the end result means that more people can enjoy our terminal-based hacking game in their native language. From June 7th - 9th fans can purchase the standard, or deluxe version of the game that includes the soundtrack at a 50% discount. This is the largest discount we have offered on the game so far, and we think this update more than warrants it. We are also working on the DLC which will offer 3-5 hours of new single-player content, including brand new programs to hack with, new computers and servers to explore, and some interesting contracts to complete. The DLC will launch alongside a brand new free update that will introduce mod support for the game. Currently the mod tools have been built, and are now in the hands of avid Hacknet community content creators. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the release of the DLC later this year. To celebrate this awesome new milestone,a bunch of the Surprise Attack Games catalogue is also on sale! Check out all the bargains, including Super Mutant Alien Assault, OTTTD and more by clicking here.

It's finally here! Mac and Linux fans can rejoice, the first release version of Hacknet on your platforms is now available on Steam! We would like to thank everyone for their patience while waiting for these new versions - Hacknet runs on a custom engine, and getting it to behave correctly on platforms outside of the Windows architecture was no mean feat. In fact, we called in the big guns and sourced help from Ethan "flibitijibibo” Lee, utilising his FNA framework. Hacknet is actually the very first game for release under the completed FNA library, which is very exciting! A huge shout out to all of those who have helped us beta test the Mac and Linux version of the game. It's because of your help that we were able to squash the bugs, get the game running, and now to have it in the hands of the wider community. Without you, this would have taken a whole lot longer to make it a reality. It's also worth noting that Windows users will benefit from these two new releases also - bending the existing engine meant that we were able to get some more performance out of it, and fix some of the niggling issues that still persist for some users. Now that we have a unified build, bug fixes and tweaks will be easy to implement across all platforms. Finally, if you do experience some bugs on Mac and Linux specifically, please throw them into this Mac & Linux Bug Report thread so we can track them specifically. For the next week this is our focus, to make sure that any issues can be dealt with once we get more people playing on these platforms with a wider range of hardware specs. Until next time!

Hello everyone! What a huge week it has been. Thanks to you lovely folks, we've managed to get Hacknet nominated as the third best Australian Game Of The Year on Kotaku! Thanks to everyone who put in their vote - being on that list is certainly a great honour. A big shout out to Hand of Fate and Armello, both of which are fantastic games, and I urge you all to check them out! We need your help again. IGN Australia is hosting their annual Black Beta Select Awards, awards that celebrate the greatest games of the year, and Hacknet is a contender in both the Best Original Game and Best Aussie/NZ-Made Game awards. Voting is closing very soon, and if everyone could give us a push, that would be greatly appreciated! Go and cast your vote over here. The last "help us take over the world request", I promise. IndieDB Game of the Year voting is open for another 5 days, and we would really appreciate the support. Don't forget that if you create an IndieDB account, your vote will count as 10, which will certainly help us skyrocket up the charts. Go cast a vote over here. In terms of development updates, the porting to Mac and Linux is going through final testing now. We have some really dedicated members of the community helping us track down the bugs, and we're hoping to release these versions to the public very, very soon. Thanks to everyone who has helped out on this - Hacknet runs on a very unique engine, and tracking down the strange issues that come with forcing it to run on entirely new platforms is no small feat, especially when there are only two of us working on the code base. On the plus side, this is also helping us eliminate some of the more obscure issues on the PC version, which means when we released a unified version, everything will be running a little smoother for all! Thanks again for your support - we are truly blown away by the dedication to the Hacknet community, and we can't wait to keep things moving in 2016! Steve - Community Manager

Hacknet has been nominated for Game of the Year on both Indie DB and Kotaku! We want to thank everyone who's been playing and enjoying the game. Unfortunately we can't Hack the polls so we really need your help to win this! You can vote HERE for Indie DB and HERE for Kotaku. If you create an account on Indie DB the vote counts 10 times the amount as a anonymous vote. Thanks again for the support and see you soon. Cheers, Steve - Community Manager

Pax Aus is over, and I wanted to give everyone an update on what's going on, and what's coming next.

Mac and Linux Ports

Alienware FX

Future

Today marks a very important milestone for Hacknet. Thanks to the support from you, our community, we have managed to pass over 60,000 hackers playing the game, which is no small accomplishment. Our little hacking game created by a one man development team has managed to captivate the attention of so many people across the globe, and we couldn't be happier! To celebrate, we have worked with The Otherworld Agency to release the Hacknet Original Soundtrack - 14 killer tracks from the game including artists such as Carpenter Brut, Cinematrik and Rémi Gallego. You can purchase it as a DLC update via http://store.steampowered.com/app/408710/, or via Bandcamp: https://theotherworldagency.bandcamp.com/album/hacknet-ost. Another major event is the fact that Hacknet has been launched as Steam's Midweek Madness deal. Everyone who purchases the game will save 25%! We also launched the Hacknet Deluxe Edition which bundles the soundtrack. As part of this deal, the Soundtrack is also 25% off. What's next? Matt has been rolling out minor hotfixes to support the major stability patch that was released a few weeks ago. We are fairly certain most of the major issues have been fixed, but if you are still experiencing issues, please post here. PAX Australia is next week, and Hacknet will be featured in the PAX Rising section as one of the chosen games by Penny Arcade. If you are heading along to the show, make sure you come and say hi to Matt, and I'll be floating around between the Hacknet booth and the Surprise Attack Games booth. After we are sure that the game is stable and there are no major bugs, onto the Mac and Linux ports! Thanks again for the support. Enjoy the soundtrack, and we'll report back in a few weeks after PAX Australia is done! Steve - Community Manager

Hello everyone, Things haven't been slowing down for Hacknet. After a whirlwind trip to Tokyo for TGS, Matt is back in Australia and cracking into updates and fixes leading towards PAX Australia. Today, we are excited to launch the biggest update for Hacknet to date, one that should fix a bunch of those save game issues and roadblocks some of you were running against. This patch should solve all issues with save game errors, corruptions, and the infamous Junebug issue. There are some other handy fixes here and there that should knock out a number of the bugs that were appearing on some systems. Oh behalf of Team Fractcal Alligator and Surprise Attack Games, I wanted to thank all of you for being the best community around! I understand that these issues were frustrating for those who were experienceing them, but with such a small team and the need to find a fix that did not effect the save games of those not encountering the bug, we needed to make sure that this fix was right before pushing it live to the general public. Next up we've got some PAX Australia plans, and then we look forward to some future content, an OST release, and of course, Mac and Linux support. Until next time.

Hacknet Update 3.014

• Dramatically reworked saves system - including a system to auto-upgrade all existing saves from the current system to the new one, and perform some error recovery on them to fix the most common save corruption issues. The new system is much, much more stable, and the upgrade process will try and recover all saves that it can, including ones that may have been previously lost or unusable.
• Fixed issues where deleting some specific files would cause the save to be corrupted.
• Added support for directory changing with non-relative paths. (i.e: cd /log from anywhere will not put you in the log folder)
• Fixed a problem where denying Junebug, then later moving onto the bit investigation would not be adding in resources that the player needs for those missions to the CSEC assets server.
• Fixed Education Network Archives saying 'Player belongs to another faction' when reading some records.
• Fixed many issues surrounding creating and loading multiple saves.
• Fixed issues where Hacknet would crash if the directory path you were in was too big for your resolution.
• Fixed some flow issues with the tutorial
• Fixed branch save games not loading correctly in some cases
• Fixed an issue where on some systems, the X-C mission could not be completed

Hello everyone, Matt has been hard at work on the save game issue, and we feel that we have a reliable fix that is ready for public testing. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAVE GAME ISSUE, PLEASE TRY THE FOLLOWING

• Right Click Hacknet in your Steam Library
• Select "Properties"
• Click on the "Betas" tab
• Enter hacknetsavetest into the text field and click on "Check Code"
