Hey all- A handful of fun stuff has happened over the last month that we want to share with you! Our big focus right now is keeping hackmud healthy long-term by growing our supporter base. Their backing already helps keep things running, and as that group grows, it directly fuels new development. Most of our players are visitors: people who drop in, explore a bit, and then drift off until the n…
Hey all!! We just finished up our very first hackmud season- season 0 !

During the event duration, signing in counts your account's realized qubits as double toward the season share, and the qubit threshold for the progress bar is halved. So one active player can cover their own…
