HeXaK Update and Itch.io Bundle

Hey all! I am still working on HeXaK due to the increase in players and activity.

Launching the game publicly

The job of launching on

• Google Play
• Microsoft Store
• Amazon

Has been a challenge in just organising and getting the correct images etc... But has been a great learning experience.

Itch.io Itching for games

I also entered the game into a Co-op bundle by Ansel Games

You can get 111 games for free. But this offer is limited to the time the bundle is still running except you purchase at or above $1 then you own everything forever. 

This is a great chance to play a bunch of cool games and support lots of creatives

Please go check out this bundle over at - Itch.io Itching For Games by Ansel games and 48 others - itch.io

Next Update

The next update will include a number of enhancements:

• Add the first new Tile - The Factory

  
  

  • The factory is meant to reward good planning with bonuses given for clusters of factories next to miners
  • The factory also has penalties when placed next to social buildings - this incentivises players to plan their colony and keep their categories separate.
  • The factory has a high worker and energy cost that rewards specialisation and I hope you will enjoy playing with it 
• New challenge levels to introduce the factory and some harder levels for those that have already completed the existing challenges
• Added the ability for tiles to give penalties for adjacency
• Added different colours to the tile bases based on the tile category
  • Blue for Roads and infrastructure
  • Orange for industrial and power
  • Green for Social (housing, shopping and parks)
• Tile building effects
• Some general QoL fixes for things like tooltips etc
• UI polish and Scaling fixes
  
• Balance changes 
• Bug fixes
