FAQ

[Botten Hanna]

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Haste community hub, we will add more to this FAQ based on what questions you have.

Where do I get the demo?
You can get it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2940200/Haste_Broken_Worlds_Demo/

Do you have a discord?
The Haste discord can be found here: http://discord.gg/hastebrokenworlds

Will there be multiplayer?
When we started working on Haste we were looking to make the game into some kind of racing large-scale BR game but as development continued we started to notice that it wasn't that much more fun to run against other people than when you were racing to finish the level on your own. Both were fun, but it started to seem like, despite the absurd amount of work we were putting into the multiplayer part of the game, it wasn't really adding much.

So we decided to try to spend our time in a way that did add to the experience instead. And so far, it seems to be really good for the game.

Can we play as other characters?
Since the game has a story you play as the main character Zoe, however the game has other characters to interact with as NPCs.

How is rank determined after a level?
The rank is based on how quickly you finish the level - if you just make it before the darkness takes you then you get the lowest tier and if you're super fast you get the S tier.

How much will it cost?
We haven't decided yet but most likely in the same range as our other games, once we have a price point we will update you.

Will there be mod support?
We are looking into having mod support for the full game!

Will the game be on other platforms?
The game will be available on PC, Mac and Linux. We're also looking into making the game available on consoles but that will be after the full launch here on steam.

I'm having issues with the game, how can I get help?

Sorry to hear that you're having issues! Please check out our general troubleshooting guide for potential fixes http://landfall.se/troubleshooting or reach out to [e-mail] to get help.

Having in mind all we've heard so far about this game it's supposed to be a competitive racing experience. So yeah, it 100% will feature online PvP

So does it has multiplayer or not?

[Not Joe Hawley]

Around how much will it cost? that is, if it doesnt come out on Landfall Day and be free for 24 hours?

[John F. Ketamine]

Few questions.

Will multiplayer be supported in the future on a smaller scale? (co-op or racing against a few players)

Is there support for modding, like importing custom characters and levels?

Is there a customization system for the characters in the game? (hats, color schemes, clothing, etc)

Heya! I'm a bit late, but I do have a few things that might be relevant or not.

1. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those games that you play for a few minutes and then get bored with and play something else. You guys can't let it become that!!! Adding something to keep bringing people back to the game, whether that be ranked multiplayer, some kind of battle pass, would be a really great idea. Don't let it die out, it has such fantastic potential!

2. Pretty closely related to the last idea, but I, and from what I've seen lots of others, really think implementing some kind of multiplayer is essential to the game maintaing relevance. Give us the option to play competitively instead of it being just another "chill game". I'm not saying you should remove the singleplayer with levels!

3. Maybe having seasons in which each season's levels or maps have different themes and gimmicks! Having mastered a certain type of play style to then having to learn another (not immediately though!) would be really engaging, not only to existing players but also as a way to draw in others.

So yeah, they are a few ideas myself and my friends would love to see in the game. We've never made a game before in our lives, so maybe they're silly, and if so ignore this absolute novel of a comment! We have, however, played a lot of games and know what we like. Super excited for the game, keep up the awesome work!!!

It is possible that we still include some form of multiplayer mode, just on a much smaller scale than the initial plan but we can't promise it will be included until we can test that out properly.

Hi! See the FAQ above regarding multiplayer.

We don't currently have any modding support planned for the game.

There is currently no customization system for the characters.

Hi! Please see our reply in regards to multiplayer higher in the thread/in the FAQ :) We think HASTE could be the kind of game you come back to again and again to perfect your runs, just like similar games in the genre. When we tested out multiplayer we realized that running was almost more fun than racing other players and that we could do much more with the game if we didn't have to sync massive amounts of players. We still might add some kind of multiplayer aspect but it's not going to be the major draw for the game.

Battle passes etc require that the game to become a "game as a service"-game, which isn't something we're interested in doing. HASTE is made by a small team of devs that wouldn't be able to support continuous massive updates.

Sliding under obstacles and wall running on surfaces while the world falls apart around you would be an amazing experience!

what's the song you used in the gameplay teaser video on the store page?

[Krane]

Will the game have decent mouse and keyboard support? I don't know how simple or complex the controls in this game will be but good m+k controls are a must for me personally and also others who do not want to use or cannot use a controller.

I've had to forego otherwise great games because of lack of m+k controls and that would make me sad if that happened to this game too.

[tango]

Do the courses have an ending? Or do they just go on forever until you die. (Prefer to have an ending, personally).

Do you get random upgrades on each run?

It's made by the game's composer Karl Flodin :)
