Hive Quest is a real time strategy game, among other things, so recently I've been working like crazy on providing the player the tools they need to micromanage their teeny empire.
Lots of new user interface features are being introduced that fit smoothly into the flow of the game and provide lots of options for players to interact with their environment.
The book of Hive Lore is the single biggest addition, providing a central place to go for lots of info on your hive and even individual drones!

Capture the gloop shrooms!
Resources are an important feature in the game too. Food, gloop and other things are gathered at sites across the map. New UI features have been introduced here as well, at each site, to enable the player to manage who works there. You have to make sure you own it first though, as other hives can sneak in and claim the site for themselves!

That rotten apple won't hang around for long!
Eggy Goodness
And lastly, news on the Hive interior! The Queen's chamber is a place to obtain info & organise new eggs. The Queen, with the help of her hand maidens, will keep laying eggs for your consideration, but only if you look after her. Below are some shots of work on the inner Hive & user interface for the player's eggs that provide useful options for fine tuning your tribe's population.
It gets busy in there!

Annnd finally...
I'll have some news on the combat system & how two hives go to war soon, so look out for more special news here on Steam.
Also, if you like the look of the game, pop over to the Discord chat & say a big Hellooooooo!!! to everyone else there. You'll get a warm welcome for sure :)
Thank you for all your awesome support!
