- New Hero - Nya - 3 June 2024
Today Hot Sauce Bread Studios is adding yet another hero to our roster. We are proud to present our new Tank class hero, Nya! Nya is a refugee from the small forest village Mwanga. This hidden group had passed down the ability to create objects out of thin air and were dubbed them the ‘Light Thatchers’. After Mwanga was raided, Nya and her people fled to a nearby kingdom where Nya trained to become a soldier. With her Psionic powers, Nya commands the battlefield supporting her team and putting her own body on the line. Our new hero can heal herself beyond normal limits, ready to take on any barrage of attacks. To make the most of her fortitude, Nya can create a link with a team member, absorbing any their damage onto herself. As an experienced soldier, Nya can strategize combos on the battlefield. By using different stun moves, timed rotations and traps, Nya creates openings for her tea…
- New Maps Incoming! - 23 March 2024
Hello Everyone, Today we are showing off some new maps for Haste. As you may be aware, we have been getting our backgrounds done by the incredible Patricia Kelen out of Toronto. While we (Jacob) pretty much do everything else in house, the backgrounds that Patricia adds so much to Haste that we simply couldn’t do ourselves. Check out the dramatic mountain a moody cavern maps on our Artwork page! As you can see on the previews, Patricia not only talented technically, but is incredibly creative. By taking rough notes and expanding on them, Patricia has helped build and flesh out the world that our heroes live in. We hired Patricia out of pocket and truly her work deserves any spotlight we can give. To support our project and independent artists like Patricia, please take a moment to toss us a Wishlist on Steam! Cheers, ~ Cedrick
- Haste Demo Removal - 23 January 2024
Hello Everyone, Haste has been a passion project for a while and we are nearing the end of our development in 2024. Up until now, we've put out our builds to get as much positive feedback as we can. This has been invaluable for improving the game by leaps and bounds along with our small but passionate discord community. Now that we are rounding the corner on this project, we are pulling back on the demo to help us polish off and focus on our impending launch. As such, we have removed our demo. To gain access to a key for marketing or business purposes, please reach out to us with a request. You can also reach us through our website Hastegame.com Thank you!

- Haste Demo - Patch 1.1.1 - 3 May 2022
Patch to resolve an issue introduced in 1.1.0 where teams with Lynx would draw an excessive number of 'Loaded Dice' cards.
- Haste Demo - Patch 1.1.0 - 2 May 2022
Haste Demo - 1.1.0Posted: May 2nd 2022 GameplayReplaced the current 'Action Point' system with a new experimental system. Cards no longer deplete a pool of 'action points' which must be regenerated. Instead when cards resolve they increase the characters rotation cooldown. Every card played increases the cooldown by about 1 second per casting cost. As an example a 3 casting cost card will result in a 3 second cool down before the character can rotate. The total cool down can never exceed 6 seconds and you are never prevented from playing additional cards. The idea is to create a 'cost' to play cards in the form of risk to your front hero and to prevent you from emptying your entire hand. We've tuned the cool down time so that two aggressive players will have little of any delay, but if one player is playing passively and one aggressively, then the aggressive player will build up a rotat…
- Major Feature Update - 17 April 2022
Over the past several months, we have been hard at work making Haste a deeper and more engaging experience. We've taken a step back to re-evaluate all of the original systems to maximize Haste's potential. We took a look at what works well, and took steps on bringing that out to the forefront. The flip side of course is we saw things that didn't work well and overhauled them. There are a lot of changes with this update so we will only be outlining the bigger and broader ones below. Action Points We've always aimed to make Haste a thoughtful and strategic game. Haste was designed so that finding strategies and playing cards optimally would lead to better results. To help push this idea, we've implemented the Action Point system. Heroes will now have 6 Action Points (AP) that are spent when playing cards or moving heroes. These Action Points regenerate automatically and can be found right…
