hexceed V1.14.18 Patch Notes

New Features

  • Controller Support - The game now offers full controller support! Those of you who have tried the game on Nintendo Switch should be familiar with the controls. Now it's available on Steam!

Bug Fixes and Misc

  • Added a link to our Patreon in the Settings menu.

  • Updated the Credits to include new Patreon members.

  • Fixed an issue where some non-localised tooltips were empty.

  • Fixed an issue where Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages were not visible on Linux versions of the game. This has required us to implement our own specific fonts as a fallback for those languages, so there may be some font changes on other platforms if you use them.

  • Fixed a couple of issues with the new Chain mechanic. Specifically, it wouldn't take into account the immediate surrounding six hexes when making some determinations. This would sometimes cause the number to hide early with the "Hide Unused Numbers" setting enabled, and chording on the tile would ignore some of the six tiles immediately surrounding it.

While we have been waiting for verification for the Steam Deck, Valve announced the Gabe Cube (great timing, I know). We are aware that they are expanding their verification process to include support for the new hardware, but we aren't 100% sure what the new verification process is. I believe we will get verified for the new platform, but stay tuned, and we will be able to confirm that once we have more information. 😊
