I this topic I will list the future program of the development of the game.

It's not exhaustive of course, more a recap of the main things.
I will not speak about all the details of our everyday work (even if it takes a lot of time).
I'll remove old things when they are done.

So, this list is still rough, but you can have a better idea of what comes next now ^^

I realized that people are not really aware of what will be available in the next update, so i decided to do a list here ^^
don't ask when it will be available because we really don't like to not keep our promises and disappoint you :'(
i can just say we are currently re-integrating all the missions since the new mission editor was rebuilt and the AI was programmed. also a lot of grunt (and invisible for you) work for the moment.

- controls are now displayed on the bottom of the screen when you can do a specific action (speak, accept misison, spray graffiti, etc....),

- don't need anymore to scan to accept a misison, you can just press the button when you are in the mission zone without targeting the character,

- many netcode issues fixed,

- The AI : missions more realistic and unpredictable especially Veelan's missions (Veelan will not follow a path anymore, she will try to avoid you) and also races or gameball matches,

- Liff character will be unlockable,

- New mission mode : gameball match,

- New missions :

     Liff's missions

     new races with Greendy

     new races with Anonymous Gamers

     new races with Dark Gamer

     new missions with Veelan

     comeback of Otello in the District A with his new missions (and unlockable here).

     main mission in the prison refined

- new mission editor will be easier to use and way less heavy,

- new graffity spray system :

       new control (click repeatedly the scan button until the graffiti is charged, then release when you want to spray),

       spray animation&particles

- New hoverheat charge system (not moving, click repeatedly the grind button to charge the hoverheat),

- Extension of the prison,

- Momo (dragon grandma) NPC integrated in the game,

- A new vehicle,

- District A :

      clouds and other ECPs in the background

      some buildings & holograms were enhanced

- missions progress will be reset for everyone (but keeping the xp & skills of course)

- new objective : satellite dishs to spray on

- objectives targets are now unique until you complete the objective in the zone :

      graffiti you sprayed will stay on the posters or satellite dishes until you complete the objective in the zone,

      holo propaganda you deactivated and spydrone you catched will not reappear until you complete the objective in the zone,   

a quick sneak peak of the Anon Breaker
still early wip though.

If you follow the Hover Facebook page, you may have seen the nice making-of post of this first sculpture already! (If you don't follow Hover on Facebook, you should absolutely go like the page!)

So here's the first in my series of scupltures, Otello!

He's glow in the dark and fluorescent! He's hand sculpted and painted, and stands at about 5 inches or 13 cm tall.

You may have noticed I said "first in my series" earlier! I'm planning to do at minimum all the playable Gamers, and after that as many other Hover characters as I can keep my real-life energy up to create!

Next in the line-up will be Liff! We can't leave Otello alone, right?

Hey Hover Citizens ! 

Here is the new (big) trailer for Hover !

Hi everybody !

First day on the District B. To start i'm placing lot of big cubes to structure the main zones (like before the District A ^^). Don't be scary, it's a rough  There will be lot of good designs and a nice atmoshpere.

To give you an idea of the location of the District B in comparison to District A:

Hi dear Hoverian people

I will introduce something we never talked about yet (because it will take time until it's ready).
I'm currently working on several "dialogue pictures" for each Gamer, to make them more expressive.

so, that's the drafts I did for now. Of course these drawings will be cleaned and colored in the future

I work on this on the evening or weekends, when I can't work on my main current works (Anon Breaker & E-Deki).

I can't wait to have finished them ^^ hope you will enjoy this new feature.

Hey friends ! Today... i finished the District A \o/

Hoi!

between other things, I also began the official illustration for the Anonymous Breaker girl :

We are also working on something new for this next update
We divided the city in several zones (Garbage Village, Flock of Sheep Boulevard, Korupa Archipelago, Red Avenue, Sunny Roof, etc...) They are not divided by walls of course, but now there is the name of what zone you are in written in the HUD.
Each zone will have its own list of aims like how many gamegirls does it remain in this zone.
These aims will allow us to set up sorts of missions but without any real mission to validate, and without any timer. We plan to put later secubox traps in these zones where you will be able to bring secuboxes when they are chasing you (as in the Potatox missions, but without "mission" nor timer).
Of course it doesn't replace current missions ^^ it's in addition to them

So, I'm currently working on a Spy Drone model sent by the Great Admin that you will have the possibility to chase to avoid it to send informations.
You will be able to find several Spy Drones in the city.

you can all blame leafy for me being here after several forum-related mishaps

ANYWAY I'M JUST GOING TO DUMP FANART HERE DON'T MIND ME...

I was going to say "every available player character" but E-Cop's not there (they'd arrest everyone anyway so they're a no-funsy and not allowed to come)

EDIT: Link to full size.

Greendy for a palette challenge :V

S..something I did when I was tired? don't break his goggles guys he doesn't like that

EDIT: ok lesson learned, i might just end up linking directly to images now OTL

BONUS:

me being ridiculous about aus

It happened! I have finally made the transition to Unity 5 (Pierre was the first a few weeks ago)! Today, I made the giant central tower with the antenna. Attached to it are humongous cables quickly enabling access from a higher area in the neighborhood to the other. You may also admire the newest effects of mist and pollution providing the city with a much more intense and magnificent sensation   

Ca y est j'suis enfin passé sur Unity 5 (Pierre a été le premier il y a quelques semaines ^^) ! Aujourd'hui j'ai fait la grande tour centrale avec l'antenne. Elle est rattachée à des gros câbles qui permettent de passer rapidement d'un coin haut du quartier à un autre. Vous pouvez également admirer les nouveaux effets de brume et pollution qui apporte une ambiance beaucoup plus riche et profonde à la ville

A little parkour (in wip) in the Administrative District

Hi everybody !

I started to work on a big serial of graffities ! In a next update these graffities will be rewards for missions and random loots in maps. You will be able to collect all of them Each graffiti will have a specific effect like boost, bumper, trap etc... You can see how they will look like with effects in the bottom of the picture. There will be much more graffities in the future

Hi everybody.
Today i did the new elevator for the District B

Hi Gamers !
Firsts models in the District B An atmosphere more luxurious and futuristic.

Hi Gamers !

Hi Gamers !
I'm currently working on the exterior entrence of the prison. I show you what it will look at. It looks like the entrance for a sinister place where you know tough tests await you    
----------------------------------------------------------------

Je suis actuellement en train de bosser sur l'entrée extérieure de la prison. Je vous montre à quoi ça ressemble C'est un peu comme l'entrée sinistre d'un endroit dans lequel on sait que de dures épreuves nous attendent   

Hi Everybody !

The Alpha 3.0 will be available tomorrow (the 5th) \o/
Here, the new trailer !
