Greetings everyone,
This is the first developer update here on Steam for Hexavale!
The development is going well. The core is finished, but there are still some minor issues and topics that need to be resolved.
While it looks pretty complete (except the UI), there are still a few things to do before a demo is ready to play:
Finishing the Tutorial (status: bug testing).
UI overhaul where needed.
Adding more Special Tiles for each world (status: only 1 out of 10 different 3D-models are available right now).
Adding Half-tiles and a way to obtain and use them (they are not part of the normal stack-building).
Setting up a restricted demo-build.
The Special-Tile "Viking boat"
What is the road map right now?
Updating the Steam page at the end of November.
Demo planned for mid to late December.
Participating in Steam events (e.g., Board game event in the end of January).
Early Access release planned for March/April.
What happens during the Early Access ?
Adding features, fixing bugs based on player feedback.
Adding more graphical assets to make even more unique landscapes.
Adding new worlds Heaven & Hell (status: exist for showcasing and screenshots, but need a graphical overhaul plus decoration and special tiles).
Adding new worlds: Elves & Dwarfs.
Adding a Creative Mode without stack limits and with the ability to choose the next tiles.
The plan is to post development updates every three weeks from now on.
If you haven’t already, make sure to wishlist and follow Hexavale to get the latest updates and be ready when this cozy puzzle-strategy game arrives on Steam!
Best regards,
Isa
