We’re back with our Friday Progress Update article series, where we tell you what has been going on in the world of Hash Rush.

Welcome to our newest series of articles, ‘Lore Spotlight’. Join us as we explore the Hermeian Galaxy and dive into the lore and history of the various characters, races, creatures (and more) that help drive the story of Hash Rush.

For the first article, we are going to take a look at the ‘Raken’, so without further ado, let’s begin!

The Raken

Looking to the Hash Rush Beta

Over the last few months Hash Rush has been coming together really well and it has been a lot of fun to see our community react to the new features that we are adding to the game. However, in the quest for a good beta launch, we are constantly looking at what is needed in order to give you all the proper Hash Rush experience. After a long look at our progress, we still feel that additional features and elements of polish are needed before we can officially start the Hash Rush beta.

The festive season is almost upon us and you can get in the mood and celebrate with Hash Rush by playing in our special event!

The Christmas and New Year event will start today (21st of December) and last until the 4th of January!

Latvia 100 Bounty Challenge 1

Hash Rush is celebrating 100 years of Lativa by hosting a special event in the game, and for this week’s dev blog we are going to take a look at how we created the main opponent that our players have to face, the Ursara.

The Ursara Backstory

At the very beginning, there was the Halloween event. Though it has a rough start, ultimately it was a successful and fun event, but we knew that for the 100 years of Latvia event, it would need some fine-tuning and a bit of an upgrade.

On the 18th of November 2018, Latvia will be celebrating its centenary. As Hash Rush is based in Latvia, we are going to be joining in on the celebration and having a special event in the game.

With a new event comes a new dev blog, so sit back and enjoy learning about our second major event!

Voyagers; welcome to our first post-event write up! 

To celebrate Halloween with our players we launched our first ever in-game event. While the event had two parts both with unique rewards, what made this extra special was the fact that it was our first competitive test of the Bounty Campaign feature. This meant that players could finally use Crystals to compete with other players and win unique prizes.

With the release of the Halloween Event, we also deployed an update to the game, the full patch notes are as follows:

It’s that time of year; we’re dusting off our costumes, gearing up to carve some pumpkins and looking forward to a spooky Halloween. But this year, something special is also coming to a computer screen near you… Hash Rush is bringing Halloween to the Hermian galaxy, and we’ve got some spooky treats and some devilish tricks just waiting for you to explore.
