Season 8 out at 3PM GMT+2 on September 12th 2025
It is I, one of the burnt out developers (Elias). I had to think for a long while what to write so I decided to write nonsense, my brain and I think everyone's brains are fried at this point so we are just happy to be done with our latest development cycle. This is the single biggest patch we have ever done, notes are up to 1600 lines so get ready for a roller coaster.. Our team has also grown in size, we have hired community member and moderator Octa to do tickets since our QA team was kinda doing those and we don't want to waste their time on tickets, thus we hired a person who is actually good at handling them. We also lacked a person who is responsible and understands ARPG itemization, so we hired Fumacinha, also a community member and moderator. And last but not least our new project manager Rexi who we hired a bit before the last seasons launch, he is responsible of keeping everything intact and making sure everything is looked at and nothing gets ignored. Our team can get quite wild and out of place often.
E.L.I.A.S.
(Lead Developer / Front End Programmer)
"Works 24/7, essentially sleeps mostly at the office"
Jussi
(Lead Programmer / Back End Programmer)
"Man of logic and math, often dives into the cosmos. Jussi is the back end lifeline for hero siege. He knows the code in and out!"
Mika
(Senior Artist)
"Mika rarely speaks.. But his art does, it absolutely blasts!
Watching his art from back in the day and comparing it to what it is now is beyond comprehension!"
HandsomeTom
(SysAdmin / Servers)
"Responsible of servers, databases and pretty much everything, alone. This man has been inside a volcano and survived"
Rexi
(Project Manager)
"The only sane man in the office trying to keep everything intact, even if it takes 10 rolls of duct tape. The office can get quite wild at times"
Elias 2
(Consoles / Back End Programming)
"When a person tells you they enjoy reading SDK documentation in an interview, you kinda know what youre getting. This man has essentially now become half man, half PS5"
Robert
(PAS Intranet / Web Programming)
"The man behind the systems and tools we use to monitor, manage and track players, catch cheaters and whatnot. Without him we would suffer".
Ahto
(QA / Design / Apprentice Programmer)
"Ahto has been in the team for quite a long time, mainly doing testing and some level design. We are now slowly teaching him programming so he can be a helping hand to our lack of manpower in front end programming"
Nimo
(QA / Design)
"Testing, reproducing bugs, finding bugs, documenting bugs, bothering the programmers, stealing your socks when you sleep and whatnot."
Hallgar
(QA / Design)
"Also doing testing and all that, has a brazilian way of breaking everything that is actually some kind of voodoo. So if you think your system is functional, let this man touch it and see what happens.."
Fumacinha
(Design / Items)
"The wizard with 8000+ hours in Hero Siege, thousands in PoE and other ARPG games. Responsible for itemization and item balance after Season 8"
Octa
(Ticketmaster)
"He will be assisting you with any questions or problems. Please ask him anything... like... Anything"
Blah, so I would go over the patch notes but there is just too much so I wont bother going to detail. If there are any questions you can comment on the post and I will be answering them :) Hero Siege Season 8 Patch Notes Elias (Lead Dev): "I would like to use this opportunity to thank each and every player who contributes to Hero Siege in one way or another. This game is my life, it is why I wake up in the morning (or night). I have spent over a decade building Hero Siege into the game it is today, it has required an incomprehensible amount of time and effort. We have been putting more and more weight on player feedback so please keep giving yours, we do read everything we humanly can and base our decisions on the overall consensus. The best way you can help the game out is to write a Review, so if you havent please do! Also if you have left a negative review, please check if we corrected whatever it was you based it on and maybe give a second opinion based on how the game feels now! I will keep on serving the players, as long as I can."
