Hey everyone,

Welcome to Dev Brief #128!

This week we're sharing an update on the two Hell Let Loose video competitions, which have been absolutely astonishing by the way, as well as giving you all an update on what you can expect around our next steps with the PTE - Yes, that includes the upcoming Eastern Front content!

We'll wrap things up with a little look at some of the cosmetics you'll be able to wear when representing the Soviets too!

Right, let's get stuck in shall we...



Thanks to everyone for participating in the two Hell Let Loose Video competitions “We Want You” and “Filming Private Ryan”.

Wow what a response to this competition we have had! We are very hard at work on Update 10, and it’s good to be able to take a quick break and enjoy what the community is creating.

We have been super impressed with the number and quality of entries received, there were well over 100 submissions, and we have watched every single one!

We hope it was as much fun for you all to film and capture these clips as it was for us to watch and appreciate them all. We cannot thank the community enough for their contributions. We have been very humbled by your enthusiasm.

The winners and runners up will be announced soon, but as a sign of appreciation we have decided to give ALL entrants a small token of our appreciation.

Stay tuned for more updates on this soon, also make sure you are following on Facebook and Twitter as we intend to highlight not only the winners but also some honourable mentions in the coming weeks.

If you have made a submission, you may receive an email asking for the original file, so please make sure to save these and lookout for any emails from us.

Thanks again to all of you in this amazing community that is Hell Let Loose.

Below are a selection of each of the two categories. And a reminder that we will have more competitions coming up with different prizes in the not so distant future.

Lexhy - Hell of a Boogie Woogie


Alpine Sniper - These Blades Only


Moe Savastano - Naked Guns “Best of”

Soon we will be back into PTE testing mode, and will aim to have an initial smoke test soon. We would really appreciate the community's participation, as we have lots of new content to test (especially Eastern Front content). We will follow up with the details on how to get involved shortly. So please keep an eye on the official HLL Discord.

If you haven’t already now is the perfect time to join!

YES I WANT TO JOIN THE HELL LET LOOSE DISCORD!



A new front means new Uniforms, hats and helmets!

We will be sharing more cosmetics with you, in the coming weeks. Will will be also adding in a few more to the US and German cosmetic options but wanted to give you a tease of what you can expect to see for the Soviets.





That's all for this week's Dev Brief, have a great weekend everyone!

See you on the frontline!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your support so far. We've been working hard on expanding Luna's Fishing Garden plot and adding the content to the game to prepare for Q2 release. Please check out the news below:



If you'd rather read the news, here goes:

• The game plot length has increased more than 2x compared to initial plan
  
• New writing added a lot of personality to the characters
  
• Unfortunately, that means much higher translation costs that we can not afford now

The game is currently in a playable state and we are finalizing some polishing/language data before we announce a release date.

The total game time to complete the plot, takes around 3-4 hours, if you exclude the sandbox elements. You will be able to carry on and keep decorating your garden after the game ends.

Due to the longer plot, the total amount of the words in the game has increased to more than 3 times more than first anticipated. That means that we unfortunately can not translate the game to all languages that we planned to. Based on wishlist data and translator availability, we've decided to go with 5 languages:

• English
  
• Simplified Chinese
  
• Russian
  
• Japanese
  
• Spanish

The excluded languages are:

• Italian
  
• Traditional Chinese
  
• French
  
• German

I want to apologize for this profusely, but we just don't have the money to cover all of the languages that we wanted. The game has more content than planned and the quality part is getting all the attention, we just can't pay to do the extra translations currently.

I think we are going to be fine with the ones that we've decided to stick with, but if anyone is potentially interested to help with the community translations like with our last games - please contact us on discord.

I am going to remove them from the store in order to avoid the confusion. I wish I could give better news, but that's how it is now.

Thanks for your support and we'll see you soon.

1. Fixed a bug where the leaderboard couldn't display properly.

1. Added a setting to toggle displaying damage values.

3. Changed the explosive damage of mini grenade launcher.

We would like to inform you that we have finished testing the multiplayer and we are putting the final touches to it. Multiplayer will be officially released on May 27. We would also like to announce that the game will be available at the Open World Sale. So you can expect a discount. :)

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous second beta has been out for two weeks now. If you haven’t had time to join the crusade, but would love to, there’s still time! The beta version will be playable until the release, the 2nd of September, and it will allow you to get a taste of mythic powers, epic adventures, thrilling romances and more. You can join the beta test by pre-ordering Early Access tier on our portal.
