Hackwork is a new node-based 3D realtime strategy game in which you have to slip into the role of a hacker and control your army of viruses in a smart way in order to take over as many machines as possible. On your journey through the 'net, you have to take care of several parameters which determine the strength of the machines you want to attack and the benefit of taking them over, such as
CPU Performance - controlling the recovery-speed of the opponent-node
Connectivity - the number of yet invisible nodes that will be revealed when taking the node
The Type of the system - Important servers have usually better security than some random desktop machines - but they are also more useful when attacking from them
The Operating system - Different kinds of Viruses do different amounts of damage, depending on the target OS
Bandwidth - DDOS'ing a server with a smartphone seems pretty pointless, right?

Hi, I bought the game a is the type of games I play, but I have a problem. I passed "Level 1" campaing and arrived to "Level 2". Every time I try to hack a device that are near to my objective host, it crashes the game. Tryed to explore more map and entering by other places and devices, but everytime I hack a device near the objective, it crashes so I can't pass Level 2.
I'm using Hackwork Full (Linux 64) Desura version (Not standalon nor Compiled myself) on an Ubuntu 12.04 distro.
Found the issue. It's something related to saving/loading the game (a loaded game can't seem to display the instruction tooltips any more).
I fixed it in the code and will release that soon.
The problem does not exist if the level is played without saving/loading.
Ok then, I will wait for the next release. I never thought it was by saving-loading the game, I had to close it for going to work, and then tryed loading when I arrived home later. Thanks a lot ^^
Oh and by the way, save game isn't working. It just shows "free slot" after I click save.
Oh wait.. You do notice that you have to choose one of the free slots? Just click on one of them and the game will be saved to that.
I clicked on a free slot and it is still labeled 'free slot'. If I exit out and start the game again it in un-saved. I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
Okay, that seems to be related to the environment setup provided when running from Desura. Will be fixed in the next version.
It is working for me. On which OS/Distribution are you?
