Hive Time
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Buzz buzz!

Among other tings, today's update brings in a whole stack of new event images!

If you're the kind of person who likes to tinker, the game's json files are now exposed as plain files that can be edited (these override the ones that are stored in the game's pck file, so if you break something, just delete them). Since they're distributed as part of the game, any changes will be overwritten with a new update, so it's not really reliable in terms of being usable as modding support (I might make that more friendly in a post-release update).

My main interest here is the opportunity for excited players to poke around with different values for balancing, so if you do have a tinker, let me know your results!


Enjoy!
