In these weekly updates we will bring fresh content to Hive, in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.

**Finally we are back on track.**

If you were not aware just before Easter we had some collision errors and then we lost 60% of our animations from accidentally importing a skeletal mesh that overwrote most of our hard work -- Ouch! (Yes!! we didn't make a backup before doing it ...*sigh*) The great news is we are out of the typical "T" pose and have our old but recreated animations back. Even though we lost quite some time it was a huge learning curve and we hope it doesn't happen again!

**Exciting multiplayer developments**

A whole heap of new tutorials are available now for ue4 and lucky for us they have what we were missing to move to multiplayer. Not going to lie, they are a tough study but we have started to work though these tutorials and they do seem quite interesting. If it is possible to add this to IBT sooner vs. later we will; the biggest question is, should it be a two player?, three player? and/or a PVE game option? (Maximum of 4 due to performance restrictions). For the moment I'm keen for a two player (Coop), non dedicated server test, if this seems to work we can always scale later once the game is released.

That's it for this week.

Our Discord channel invite is open to any cryptonian here: https://discord.gg/Gr3kH9T
So jump in and drop us a line.

Cheers
