Hey folks, today's update doesn't bring any new features, but does get the game running on the latest version of Unity. In particular, this means that the game has been updated to avoid the vulnerability that Unity emailed all developers about on the 3rd October. See the Unity bl

This update includes a few small fixes: It's no longer possible to place additional Sourcers and Shippers on Megalaser Mishap and bypass most of the level. Fixed a bug where having no saves for either of the last two levels would mean attempting to play either of them would alway
The changes to level 16, Through The Looking Glass, definitely helped with completion rates, but it still has a big drop-off in players who make it through the level. To help with this, I've reworked the Laser tutorials on both that level and the level before (Corporate Transpare

Having looked at the first few days of data, there's one level which is stumping a lot of people, Through The Looking Glass. It asks you to make several leaps in understanding at the same time, which is a bit much, so I've simplified the level somewhat. Old solutions to the level
Hey folks, it's been great to see people picking up the full game and having fun with it, I've spent most of the last two days watching Hexahedra streams on Twitch! Inevitably, once lots of you were playing it some bugs came to light that I'd missed, so this is just a quick updat
More levels, plus a few small tweaks and tutorial improvements. Bugs fixed: 2 New Features Two more levels! A final Octavius level, and the first level taking place in the Hexahedra Inc factory (though the narrative for this isn't sorted yet). Other Changes Moved An Unexpected Vi
As well as the news about Hexahedra's launch date, yesterday I launched an update to both the demo and the Kickstarter beta. Here's what changed: Bugs fixed: 21 New Features More levels! Levels have been added or updated showcasing the Laser, Teleporter, Weigher, Drop Painter, an
The time has come! Octavius is deciding which hat to wear to the launch party! If you played the early versions of the game, or the demo, or you backed the game on Kickstarter, then thank you for being part of getting the game to this point and making it the best it can be. The S
Kickstarter Beta Update 12 A mysterious stranger in the factory, global records tracking, and Steam Workshop integration. Bugs fixed: 37 (of which 1 was reported by a player, thank you!) New Features A mysterious stranger has appeared in Dantar's factory, even in the Demo. His pa

The first version of the in-game Puzzle Editor is here, available in the Kickstarter Beta! The Puzzle Editor allows you to create a puzzle from scratch - you specify the size of the factory, what source cubes the player has access to and what target cubes they need to make, which
To celebrate the Programmer's Sale I'm going to be doing some live game development on stream! I'll be working on the new Payload Adder device to support one of the Kickstarter backer rewards, getting their names into the game by adding their mortal remains to urns to be shipped
Demo Update 19 / Kickstarter Beta Update 9 Sound effects have arrived! Let the devices whirr, clank, rumble, and hiss as they assemble your multitudinous cubes! Bugs fixed: 12 New Features Sound! The factory devices create a wonderful variety of sounds as they go about their busi
