- Hack and Slime is canceled - 8 June 2024
I am saddened to inform our followers and players that after 3 years of hard work, Hack and Slime has been definitively canceled due to a lack of staff. Hack and Slime consists of several design documents with over 50,000 words of documentation, hundreds of sound assets, and thousands of graphic assets to provide you with 4 to 6 hours of gameplay. It has been an incredible and exhausting work journey, and now I find myself obliged to conclude the project as it is impossible to continue. I am immensely grateful for the interest and support received over these years on Steam, Discord, social media, and at in-person events. Your company has been what gave me the strength to keep working during the tough times. From the producer, director, designer, writer, and graphic assistant: Odín Campoy.
- Monthly Update! - 23 March 2024
Good morning, Hack and Slime players! This update is very special. As we've mentioned on other occasions, the transition from Construct 3 to Unity is imminent, bringing with it all the enhancements and new content that entails. Hack and Slime will be bigger than ever; with new characters, menus, abilities, and millions of equipment pieces. Unfortunately, this poses an inconvenience for our more experienced players: the saved game system is not compatible. Hack and Slime will have too much added content to support save file porting between different engines. We need to be clear about this, as we have in the past: saved games will be lost. Additionally, during the initial weeks, there won't be a functional saving system. We'll maintain a pre-alpha version for testing on the main Steam branch. We need to do it this way to achieve massive testing from our players and rapidly address any iss…
- ¡Actualización Mensual! - 2 February 2024
Good morning, Hack and Slime players! We have HUGE news for our followers. This will be the last update where we maintain the "old" version in the main branch. What changes will this bring for players who haven't tried the open beta? First and foremost, we want to apologize for any inconvenience, as the most significant change is that saved games from the Construct 3 version will simply disappear, as they are not compatible with Unity or the vastly different game you will see in March. You will have 2 characters available with dozens of abilities that will be implemented over time. Now, Hack and Slime will not have a character-based story; instead, these characters will be avatars to represent the player (similar to Diablo 1, 2, and 3). The Warrior and the Mage, each with 15 active skills, 20 annexed skills, and 15 passive skills. That's 50 skills per character! Dynamic lighting, improv…
- ¡Actualización Mensual! - 6 January 2024
Good morning Hack and Slime players! This monthly update is VERY SPECIAL and we want to explain why. On the Hack and Slime team we are working hard to make the port as quickly as possible, this includes all the work previously done in construct3 plus all the changes and extras that the Unity version will contain. And the new Hack and Slime is going to be HUGE. However we need a lot more feedback and testing of the beta version to move forward as quickly as possible (your feedback and testing is very valuable). That's why we have decided that this monthly update will be the last one where we maintain the construct3 branch and move to the Unity model 100%. You must understand that the Unity version does not yet have a save system due to its enormous complexity, size, and implemented mechanics, but it will soon have it and you will be able to play Hack and Slime better than ever. Thank you…
- Monthly Update! - 1 December 2023

Currently, there are only 2 skills available per character, but we will be adding more skills weekly. For all those interested in testing the Beta version or wanting to help improve Hack and Slime, we remind you that we have a Discord server updated d…

- THE PORT AND THE EXPANSION START TODAY! - 13 October 2023
Friends, the time has come... Hack and Slime is taking its first step toward its Unity port on Steam! It's been over a year since Bullwaresoft began early access for Hack and Slime on Steam. We've worked very hard during this time and have made many updates to our game. But during development, we realized all the shortcomings and issues that Construct 3 was causing. At the beginning of 2023, we made two major decisions: The first was to start pre-production of Hack and Slime in the Unity engine from scratch, the entire game. The second was to expand the GDD (Game Design Document) and, with it, the core of Hack and Slime. More and better attributes and statistics, more equipment pieces and more properties for them, more types of different skills, more active skills, and even a multi-character system with completely different gameplay. All these changes require a great effort, involving d…
