Thanks very much to all our fellow hackers!The next game from the developer of Hacknet is out now!May 9, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsIn search of developing more tactile, mechanical games in the future, I decided to work on something totally driven by satisfying interactions, effects and feel, without relying on narrative for my next project. It's a collection of multiplayer sports games that are all fast and fun! I've just added the first new update sport, which is my favorite of the pack. It's got online play with rollback netcode, crossplay, AI's for every sport, and can have up to 8 players. It's out now on Steam and Switch. I hope you like it! Check it out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1301520/Wrestledunk_Sports/Hackerjam v2 ResultsJul 5, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsIn the years since the original Hackerjam took place, when Extensions were first released, the community has gotten better and better at exploring the mechanics of Hacknet, and telling stories with it's tools. After all this time, the quality of work that's come out of Hackerjam v2 is amazing. Since I've been busy with my new game (Wrestledunk Sports), I got some help from Hacknet community moderator Spiderbenb with judging. Lets get straight to the results: 1st Place - Hacknet: Flagged By Matrix, Tukib, Snacks, Hertz, and A Casual Guy https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2122137415 Matt: Flagged leans hard into Hacknet's strengths, and really shines as an example of design, writing and style that all hit a really high level of quality. It doesn't stop at just being good though - it's clever use of mechanics and scripts is surprising and deeply satisfying. If you've been wanting a new DLC for Hacknet - this is basically it. You should play it. Spider: The level of detail that was put into the mechanics was fascinating. It has it's own set of rules and will even punish you if you break those rules. Even though Flagged leaves you on a cliffhanger, I found myself asking when more will be added to it. It was very satisfying to play through, and very quick to pick up on. 2nd Place - Murder Room By Kwiper https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2123621115 Matt: Kwiper comes out swinging again! This is a wildly creative extension, and invents completely new mechanics with the very limited scripting that Hacknet has available. It's so fresh and interesting, while still having great fundamentals. So impressive! Spider: This extension does not hold your hand in what you need to do, but the detail that's in this extension alone is impressive. You have to solve murders by uploading clues to a server, and everything get's updated to include those clues. It's a fantastic extension with new mechanics to play around with and I hope more will come to it soon. 3rd Place - HeartBeat By Samper and Soussou https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121781568 Matt: More than any other extension on this list, HeartBeat made me feel the way that I wanted players to feel when I was designing the original game. While it has some small problems with difficulty, guidance, and progression for the player, nothing beats the sensation of trying to get just a tiny bit more information out of a loop before you have to reset, scratching down notes and passwords on a piece of paper. Really creative, and well designed, I highly recommend it. We couldn't decide on just one third place though, as these two were both so good, so: Also 3rd Place - Dans La Mer Du Son By Taro https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2121723167 Spider: At it's very core, it's a Visual Novel. There's not very many of these on the workshop, but this one stood out amongst them all. If you enjoy reading as much as anyone else does, this one is for you...Hackerjam v2Apr 25, 2020 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9425916/c08c89875c1e868930a09219e0c30e1353d590a0.png Hackerjam v2 is on now! After the amazing results of the first Hackerjam - a community event for creators to make Hacknet extensions (mods/custom campaigns), I've decided to run another one! Feel like you could make a cool story or interesting experience with Hacknet's style and mechanics? This is your time! THE RULES Extensions must be submitted and uploaded to the Steam Workshop before 11:59PM PST May 26th. That's a month from this announcement!

Judging will be done by myself, and Spiderbenb (mod and streamer on the Hacknet Discord) HOW TO SUBMIT Upload your extension to the Steam Workshop with the tag #Hackerjam2 List everyone involved in the creation of your extension in the description PRIZES Based on how amazing the results were last time, I thought I should throw up a bit more for the prizes this time, so: 1st place: $3000 USD 2nd place: $2000 USD 3rd place: $1000 USD GET STARTED!

Game devs and players continue banding together to help the Australian bushfire crisisJan 17, 2020 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Australia is still burning, but over the last couple of days they’ve actually had some rain! While this is a big help to certain areas, there are still 83 fires blazing around the country, and there’s a lot of people and wildlife still in trouble. It’s good job then that there are even more game devs, companies, and communities banding together to help out our friends down under. A new Humble Bundle, a donation from the makers of Warframe, and a charity initiative run by Eve Online players are just three more ways the games industry is raising money, and you can get involved to show your support too. (more…) Humble’s Australian Bushfire Relief BundleJan 16, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsWe have partnered with Humble Bundle to raise money for Australian Bushfire relief efforts. Hacknet and Hacknet Labyrinths are included in a bumper bundle with 28 total games for just $25. All profits from the bundle will go towards WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service) and the World Wildlife Fund through the American Red Cross. You can join us in aiding the relief efforts by purchasing the bundle here: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/australia-fire-relief {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/9425916/5ea5781c83c33f70fdef8b284c230ff6626c5324.png I'm really grateful to Humble for helping put together this bundle - the Australian Bushfires are devastating, the country I live in burns, and very much needs help. I'm really proud to have Hacknet and Labyrinths alongside so many other excellent games in this bundle. 100% of the profits from it will be going to charity - If you already own Hacknet, please take a look anyway! There are some really amazing games on this list, and it's for an excellent cause. Check out the bundle here! -MattHave You Played Hacknet?May 22, 2019 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Many years ago, when I traipsed the streets of Belfast city with the menacing incisors of a 15-year-old who did not get braces when he should have done so, I often met with a pal and mentor in sub-criminal activities. Let s call him “Firebastard”. Firebastard was a good friend, and a knower of various clandestine arts. We all have that mate who downloaded The Anarchist s Cookbook. That glorious walking disorder who taught us the value of smashing bottles under the flyover in an idle fugue. Firebastard was that friend. One day, he gave my brother and I another book, a real book. Steal This Computer Book Vol 3. It can teach you to be a hacker, he said. It s full of viruses. Hacknet is a game that lets me pretend I understood that book.

The 10 best hacking, coding and computing gamesNov 26, 2018 - Rock, Paper, Shotgun We’ve been hacked! As well as a fake festival of online retail excess, Cyber Monday is now a celebration of hacker games and everything ‘cyber’. This is the hAcKeR collective {{Synonymous Bosch}}. We have taken control of this aRt1cLe. Three years ago it was written by the untalented and scurrilous journalist Brendan Caldwell, a man lacking in both knowledge and substance. But we have gained access in order to correct his egregious errors. It s a hack of a hack! Ha ha ha. We had our best joke cell work on that for three nights. Please laugh. Our detractors may say Mr Caldwell got it mostly right, and that may be the case, yes. But the order is aLL Wr0nG. And he has neglected to update it with a recent hit. We cannot let this stand. Here is an updated list which, actually, looking at it now, is still mostly Mr Caldwell s words and I guess they re okay. Sorry we said those nasty things. We are {{Synonymous Bosch}}. We sometimes forgive. We often forget.

I mean, it was actually the August 14th for me, since I’m in Australia, but it happened all the same. In that time, Hacknet has been played by over 1.4 million people. That number being so huge was helped a lot by the two 48 hours free giveaways we did recently, but even those bumps aside, the success and reach of the game has been so incredible. Thankyou so much to every one of you that played the game, spoke about it, recommended it, worked on extensions, hung out in the discord (https://discord.gg/7cHhVT9), and helped Hacknet become what it is today. It means the world to me.
