In a recent post I briefly mentioned that unC0Rr and nemo are working on improving random map generation.

In this post I will talk a bit more about this topic. Big Grin

Hedgewars evolves! (April fools)

We recently received a letter from PETA concerning how hedgehogs are presented in our game.

Here's an excerpt of above mentioned letter:

PETA allegedly wrote:

We were severely shocked when we found out about "Hedge Wars".
It is disgusting that the game encourages physical abuse and killing of hedgehogs !
Animal brutality is no laughing matter.

While your players are having fun killing hedgehogs in the game, those innocent animals are facing possible extinction as we speak !
Don't you have ANY conscience when it comes to other living beings?

If you do like hedgehogs you should instead help spreading awareness about their real-life grave situation rather than slaughtering them in digital form.

After quite a lot of discussion we realized that their concern was valid and that we want our game to have a positive impact on ethical thinking, rather than a negative one.

Eventually we decided to replace the hedgehogs on the front-line with TOMATOES, starting next release!!!

Also we decided to keep our beloved hedgehogs as the overseers of the tomato wars (just not involved into combat directly).

Bottom line: we will keep our dear spikey friends around without having a single one of them getting hurt anymore Smile

Yours truly,
The Hedgewars*-Team
