I laughed… I cried… I seriously LOL’d… :laughing:

Q: Does the world really need another MOBA?

A: This is not a MOBA. It’s a HOBA. It has Hearthlings. H-O-B-A. Totally different thing.

How are people finding it? It seems to be a pretty cool game mode, not sure if I’m a fan of the loot system, and the levelling system seems a bit flat right now, but the combat feels quite ‘meaty’ and sharp ya know?

Genuinely think with a bit of work, and obviously getting some real multiplayer rather than the AI this could grow into something really good!

I see the mini Cthulu didn’t quite make the release, it was a bit too easy to farm though :stuck_out_tongue:

Also - liked how you added the banner unlocks/ statues for monster kills, nice little touch to add to buildings, though I’m not sure if I’ll get to the 1,337 hydra kills!

What I would really love to see is a first-person mode like from the old Dungeon Keeper. (It’s my favourite game of all time, any RTS that doesn’t have it suffers in my opinion.)

Oh! I love this game mode is!!! Battle mode! PVE! And PvP? Multiplayer game?! I have waited for this moment for too long! Hope to launch soon!!! Unable to hold oneself back.

is still waiting for the Blackberry app from 2014

We’re just having a ton of trouble with the APIs. And finding domain expertise.

I think you need to add spectator stands and betting booths.

Is it going to be a F2P HOBA? If so, I’d love to spend gems to have mini-Hearthlings build hats with no effect on gameplay but increasing your size as a target! Of course, more gems would get rid of that side-effect.
