Hi hacknplanners! A new release is here! The focus of this update has been on bug fixing and adding some improvements to the UX department we hope will make you more productive. After the last update, the one rebuilding the drag and drop system, you may have noticed some instability and certain performance issues (especially...
Chris Estevez - October 8, 2017
Hi hacknplanners! This update is a special one. Instead of delivering new features, we focused on rebuilding one of the most important parts of HacknPlan: the drag and drop system. Many of you have complained during this last two years about the performance and usability of the current drag and drop system, which is...

Hi hacknplanners! I hope you all had a great summer and had the chance of resting and recovering energy for the remaining months of the year. We certainly did, but still had the chance of working on some little features and improvements we just released. If you have been following our last few entries of...
Chris Estevez - July 22, 2017
Hi hacknplanners! It's been a while since the last update! Summer, you know... But the truth is we are focused on some important and big features that will take longer than a regular iteration to be released, like the API, the new drag & drop system and others. Although we did little besides working on those...
Chris Estevez - June 24, 2017
Hi hacknplanners! We welcome the summer with a little but interesting update. The main improvement coming today is the new syntax for writing and reading time-based costs, something you have been asking for some time which definitely improves the time management and avoid possible mistakes. We also added a comment section to the GDM, fixed several...

Chris Estevez - May 14, 2017
Hi hacknplanners! Finally, the first update after the release of version 1.0 is here. This is a small one, though. We haven't implemented many new features, we were more focused on solving bugs, improving the stability and performance of the system after the official release, and planning a roadmap for some important epics coming in...
Chris Estevez - April 3, 2017
Hi hacknplanners! Finally, after more than 1 year and a half in beta, HacknPlan is hitting version 1.0! I'm not a fan of the big releases with fireworks, we believe in iterative development and this service is and will always be in development, our work is never over. So, what does it mean then? Well,...
Chris Estevez - March 20, 2017
HacknPlan 1.0, the first major version of our project management tool for game development, will be finally released on April 3rd, Monday, a week later than we initially announced.

Hi hacknplanners! Another update of HacknPlan is finally here, the last one before the release of version 1.0 at the end of March.
