I just added some new tile shapes to Hexagod since I wanted to make tile placement a bit more interesting. The build is live now on Steam!

I added minions to help break down asteroids and collect the matter.

I made the clicking have an AOE to reduce the number of clicks. Next I'll add an early upgrade for an auto-clicker feature.

What else should I add?

Trying out clicking asteroids to break them down into raw matter.

Gif doesn't have sound, but it feels so good to play and I've barely even added juice!

I think Steam broke or maybe I'm about to get very rich off the millions of new wishlists Chess Survivors just got.. 🤔

1 Review away from having Steam show as "Very Positive"

Early Access week 1 Steam wishlist additions for Hexagod is +1448.

I'd probably see Hexagod and also wait for the full release since I don't have a lot time these days to play a game that is not fully cooked.

Hopefully a good sign for the "long tail" of sales.

Working on an indicator to show movement costs.

What do you think?

Steam Next Fest Day 3: +94 bringing Hexagod up to 2,330 total Wishlists.

Total added is so far is 331 (+16.6%) from the starting point of 1,999.

I wonder if there will be a weekend bounce?

Added a little countdown for when Corruption will spawn using the shake RichText effect in Godot!

Steam Next Fest Day 2: +152 (+4.3%) bringing Hexagod up to 2,236 total Wishlists

Total added is so far is 237 (+11.8%) from the starting point of 1,999.

Steam Next Fest Day 1: +85 (+4.3%) for a total of 2,084 Wishlists

Lowering my expectations because:

1. More demos than when I had a game in the Oct 2022 Fest
2. Steam removed dedicated stream slots which my gut says helped small games (like mine) get found

Ok, after another day of cooking on the Steam capsule for Hexagod (and getting a ton of help from my community, ty all) here is what I'm going to use for the Next Fest.

I might still commission a full art version but that is TBD.

Reworking the my Steam Capsule Art for Hexagod (aka the cover of the game)
