They use the Unity game engine, popular among hobbyist and commercial game developers. Back in beta, my client crashed and brought up the Unity logo for a brief second. You can see it in the background on the desk before and after the code segment.
Noxious I thought for a second it was clientside code (Which would be C# because Unity), but yeah, it looks like they're using C++ serverside - Interesting!
FutureStark don't you guys think there are other better options to be nerfed on the deck? I believe the one minion that doubles the Battlecries is absurd in synergy with Shudder...
I'm a CS graduate student, and today just happens to be one of those depressing dev days where my code decided to repeatedly break for whatever dumb reason. I decided to take a break and check out this video, and I gotta say, in a weird way that brief code clip at 2:53 inspired me to keep pushing forth with debugging. Thanks, Hearthstone Team.
Do you know what is the most creepy, twisted, terrifying and spooky thing in the witchwood ? The voice of the new french innkeeper ! Great work on this one, now we have to hide under the bed until the return of our true innkeeper !
To be honest, a little bit disappointed with worgens. You should be able to switch their attack and health in your hand on demand, or maybe replace it with that full moon mechanic they talked about.
Evilnicko Yeah but then they would be the same as druid choose one cards. I think they had this cool artistic idea which fits very well with the spooky theme of the year of the raven, but couldn't really balance them out so they are kinda underwhelming. I personally think this whole health and attack swapping mechanic in these worgen cards should be replaced with a whole new one, but they rolled with the existing one. I can understand that though, they are fine pieces of art nevertheless and I wonder how the meta will change.
Evilnicko Yeah the attack and health switch is pretty much the worst mechanic in the game.. Not only can you not control it but it's terrible even if you can. You either have a glass cannon of a minion or a weak bulky one which in itself isn't even worth in any way. Lost potential.. lots of lost potential.
That would be a bad and boring idea. Worgen should have been a class tribe with the effect they have now. That way they could have additional effects. Rather than just taking up space with the swap bullshit text
i would have just changed them based on number of cards in hand - odd=worgen form even=human form, that way its somewhat controllable but you still get all the cool transformation effects
how many expanssions are being made right now? 3 I guess? because they said that the witchwood toke months to be made, so probrably they work in more than one at same time...
That is awesome, I love these BTS videos. Gives me motivation to start working on my coding assignment this block, programming a fully functional golf game -__-
Hello hearthstone team, my nikname in hearthstone is Markus Paxter, I just want to say that I don't recive the promised dust from the rotated cards yet. I've waited one week and sent 2/3 bug's reports, but nothing. What can I do?
I was very excited for this launch, then I opened a tea packs and only got three legendaries, and my flatmate only I was very excited for this launch, then I opened 80 packs and only got three legendaries, and my flatmate only got 2. Email support to find out that the support email listed on the Google Play page is no longer monitored and now all you could do is comment on it on the Hearthstone forums and hope for the best... awesome. Not a single duplicate Epic, I think an 80 packs I only got like 7 Epics, almost every single thing I dusted was a common. This is mathematically improbable, if not impossible based on their supposed guaranteed drop rates? Either I and everyone else who has had this problem so far are the most extremely unlucky people in the world, or there's an issue with the drop rates in this expansion just like there was in Gadgetzan.
card theme: gear for minions. big deal being that armor cant be silenced. shields, weapons, armor with enchantments. what makes it special is that some could just be straight stat bonuses. others could have "enchantments" example 2 mana 1/2 poison dagger (pirates only) give target pirate minion 1/2 and poison. or warriors shield give target minion 0/4 and taunt or an idea i had while making this minion type resistances or enchantments. if minion has lets say armor type buff on em, so you have the enchantment spell "Resist elemental". This could go as, you take half damage from elementals, or if they'de allow it this minion takes no damage from elementals. as well there would be limitations to putting equipment onto minions just like an mmo. like you cant wear 3 chestplates at once in any game i know of. so your extent of armor would be like two one hannded weapons one two handed weapon. that brings forth the ability strip that would allow you to take back the armor that the target minions was using but if the minion had taken enough damage to go beyond what the equipment gave then the received cards would be damaged. that brings forth blacksmith cards letting you repair or upgrade the equipment cards much like the "Upgrade" spell for warriors. as well enchanted equipment taken back keeps their enchants. as an defence against enchantments the enemy could have a disenchantment spell to remove enchantments. final thought would be ranged weapons for minions. so lets say you give your minion a 3/2 bow this could either just go as stats OR you could make it act like a weapon say for 2 attacks this minion deals 3 damage to targeted minion (taunt priority) but does not phisically attack said enemy. so it would be like a spell that the player casts. but, could be placed as a multy use on a minion. (of coarse obvious counter is just killing the minion) well that was a theme idea i had for hearthstone cards. if anyone's interested tell me what you think or your ideas as a response
Guys I need some help I heard you get C'thun when you buy your first Whispers of the Old Gods pack Howeawer in the year of the raven you can't buy WotOG packs anymore What shuld I do?
My jaws that bite my claws that catch, My jaws that bite my claws that catch, My jaws that bite my claws that catch,My jaws that bite my claws that catch,
Asznee My Brother lol the point is even though they have supposedly taken agies to code the card but, they haven't tested it enough you can easily get stuck in a long chain of never ending battlecries
Im glad they included Ben Brode's laugh as his third word
I'm not glad to see all the time they put into Shufflecock and still didn't realize there would be 15 minute turns
it's actually pretty cool to see snippets of actual game code, like at 2:54
Yum, C++
Looks like C++ in Visual Studio :)

do you dabble in C++ when you aren't streaming? :P
Ben Brode's Howl is still a laugh *HAAAOOOOOHAHAHAHAHA*
GIVE US MONSTER HUNT
Love how much play testing went into Shudder!
Yes finally, years of trial and error are paying off !
Pretty sure it's still going to get nerfed tho XD
FutureStark don't you guys think there are other better options to be nerfed on the deck? I believe the one minion that doubles the Battlecries is absurd in synergy with Shudder...
4:50 dont do drugs kids
I love Shadowfang Keep. Seeing Archmage Arugal and Lord Godfrey becoming cards melted my heart.
Yep, you sure got Shudderwock working, with those "intended" 30 minute long turns!!
So. Shudderwock. Could you cut the animation time.

I love the art style in this game.
Do you know what is the most creepy, twisted, terrifying and spooky thing in the witchwood ? The voice of the new french innkeeper ! Great work on this one, now we have to hide under the bed until the return of our true innkeeper !
These behind the scenes are fascinating and awesome. Please keep doing them.
from my 1 month of hearthstone expertise, this would be the best update *EVER!!* :)
*Wait, did they post the same video twice?*
'SPOOOKKYYYY'
Video had echo
Nha one is a worgen
I’m very pleased with everyone playing Shaman Otk
favourite expansion ever for me hands down! but i got dollmaster, azalina, toki, emeriss, chameleos and crowley... really bad pull luck but eh its ok
Definetely having a blast with the expansion guys. Love yaaa!!!!
Would be nice to actually get into the tavern to open my packs for this expansion
Shudderwock..aye >.> it’s a tier 1 deck already xD it’s insane
Love the behind scenes specially the art factor
I love this this expansion,all new mechanic is pretty good and cards are goods and interesting
I was waiting for Ben to straight up Laugh very hard when they started to howl like wolves
I’ve been a fan of this game for awhile, I’ve even designed so many character cards it’s criminal
1:28 OH IT'S A CARD! i will never forget that moment XD
Love this kind of video! Please make more over time!
*Small SPOOKY Company*
I see the guy who invented the top hat card.
"Speedy Way" meanwhile toast is still waiting for his Shutterwock animation to finish

Yeah I gotta say, I love the art on them, but really wish they settled on a more impactful and less circumstantial mechanic for them
i would have just changed them based on number of cards in hand - odd=worgen form even=human form, that way its somewhat controllable but you still get all the cool transformation effects
I already made a White Priest deck with Lady In White and a bunch of low cost but high health minions and boardclears. Working pretty well thus far.
code?

Not sure if that works, I've never turned a deck into a code before.
Teodus Filus send a screen capture then, just want to try it
Nahuel Borda You cant send screen captures on UA-cam, but heres a list of the cards on it.

Thank you for the new set :)
how many expanssions are being made right now? 3 I guess? because they said that the witchwood toke months to be made, so probrably they work in more than one at same time...
They work 2 expansions in advance. That's why they can't respond to bad metas unless they predict it
(Geist to jade idol)
That is awesome, I love these BTS videos. Gives me motivation to start working on my coding assignment this block, programming a fully functional golf game -__-
I may even have a child once Shudderwock’s ‘playtested’ effect has finished.
Three words that would describe Witchwood would be MY JAWS THAT BITE, MY CLAWS THAT CATCH
Shudderwock: "How does all this play in such a way that it's done in a very speedy way..." LOL
You know whats more spooky than the Witchwood?
Peter Whalen
00:01 Three words to describe The Witchwood?
The Shudderwock Meta
The rogue 2 mana legendary has like the creepiest artwork
You guys did a pretty good trailer song for Witchwood
I love Ben Brode's Howl
4:50 Lmao! He really went hard
Shudderwock is insane
Why isn't the worgen and the worgen effect part of a card tribe?
Hello hearthstone team, my nikname in hearthstone is Markus Paxter, I just want to say that I don't recive the promised dust from the rotated cards yet. I've waited one week and sent 2/3 bug's reports, but nothing. What can I do?
The old gods rotated, change the wallpaper at 2:15 Blizzard
Bbrode we already miss you :c
We needed Ben Brode's laugh 😫
Is there an artbook from Hearthstone? That would be great
Spookiest place in Azertoth?
That's Duskwood.
Ben really sold it with the lips
Still sad that we have to wait 2 weeks for the adventure :( treasurehunt was available on release
Black Dragons they probably didn't want to us to jump in to monster hunt instead of buying packs
Black Dragons they probably didn't want to us to jump in to monster hunt instead of buying packs
This is all about withcwood but you can see the lich king from knights of the frozen throne in background
I want to see the play testing of shudderwok.
shudderwock is speedy? I had my turn skipped 3 times tonight by that thing!
Guys can u quicken the animation of shud (shaman legend) ty ty I don’t want to wait 5 minutes to play a game
The best part of the reveal video is that there are no woods near Irvine lol.
So obviously Ben did the Howl on the trailer. ;)
I was very excited for this launch, then I opened a tea packs and only got three legendaries, and my flatmate only I was very excited for this launch, then I opened 80 packs and only got three legendaries, and my flatmate only got 2.

The odds of a legendairy is one in 20 and one guaranteed legendary in 40 packs so you got a bit less than average but not the worst thing
*Well, for me, the spookiest place on WoW is Karazhan.*
3 words to describe Witchwood: Shudderwock, Shudderwock, Shudderwock.
I wish HOTS would make some of the hearthstone's original characters like Hagatha
Am i the only one that started howling with them in the end?
yo where tf is monster hunt
Skirdus read the patchnotes, it's coming in 2 weeks
MY JAWS THAT BITE MY CLAWS THAT CATCH!
From what they showed us in the footage, pretty sure these people in Blizzard had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what Shudderwock is capable of.....
4:15 These are good headphones, no need to blur them out xD
My Jaws That Bite, My Claws That Catch!
There NEEDS to be a Starcraft themed expansion lol
card theme: gear for minions. big deal being that armor cant be silenced. shields, weapons, armor with enchantments. what makes it special is that some could just be straight stat bonuses. others could have "enchantments" example 2 mana 1/2 poison dagger (pirates only) give target pirate minion 1/2 and poison. or warriors shield give target minion 0/4 and taunt

(of coarse obvious counter is just killing the minion)
well that was a theme idea i had for hearthstone cards. if anyone's interested tell me what you think or your ideas as a response
3:04 Speedy way bois
What it that programming language? I have only seen query like this in php
Guys I need some help I heard you get C'thun when you buy your first Whispers of the Old Gods pack Howeawer in the year of the raven you can't buy WotOG packs anymore What shuld I do?
HOLD ON! you use Unity for HS development? O.o
"speedy way" laugh
4:55 bad wolf !
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF CODING THAT BATTLECRY REPEAT LEGENDARY PLRASE PLDASE PLEASE
0:13 the word that describes witchwood
WE WANT A.F. Kay AS A CHAMP!!!!
2:22 wow she T H I C C
"we're excited to see what players can do with those cards"
Aaaaaaaand toast broke the game 1 hour after release.
4:55 nice face brode
4:21 Keep waiting, buddy.
Best team in game industry
Kappa
Best expantion yet
I opened 78 packs and got 4 legendaries. *50 DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN*
i played 1 game, 10 minutes down the drain
Declan O'Hare 1/20 packs is usually
"I can't wait to see what you guys will do with it " that's a comment I bet he is already regretting
So own up please, who's idea was it to print Shudderwock?
This xpack should have been released on Halloween thou
Old Gods is spookier
Brooooooooode!!!... come back!!!...
2:39 and you couldn't do it right. I look forward to the fix though, it is a fun idea.
*Hagatha proceeds to see no play*
My jaws that bite my claws that catch, My jaws that bite my claws that catch, My jaws that bite my claws that catch,My jaws that bite my claws that catch,
Wahed Tinwala Shudderwak is the new Exodia.
Kíra Ihász faster and stronger version of quest mage
REMOVE?
Have you even watched the video?
They've put so much effort in that card.
Lmao remove LUL
They need to disable it until they've fixed the twenty minute animation. Effort is no consolation to watching a twenty minute animation.
Asznee My Brother lol the point is even though they have supposedly taken agies to code the card but, they haven't tested it enough you can easily get stuck in a long chain of never ending battlecries
They say Hagatha is too op. Should've been Shudderwock there (I think Hagatha is too slow).
I’m disappointed the solo adventure isn’t out yet
It’s sure scary to see your opponent play Shaman in ladder
Shaman best class
'where is the spookiest place to have wichwood take place in azeroth?'
me: duskwood duh
Can't wait for Shudderwock to be nerfed!
