Hexworld 0.12 (unstable branch)

Greetings, and happy holidays to you all!

We've come with some great news! Hexworld 0.12 is coming to the unstable branch. We are counting on you to test it, so please share your feedback!

There are tons of changes, and some of them are not yet stabilized, but just to name the most important ones:

• New kingdom restoration mechanic and perks system

• Squads will allow you creating your own groups of golems

• Squad abilities - affected by squad composition, so you can build your unique army

• Roads system - boosters will now only boost buildings connected by roads

• Megatiles and resource system updates

• Lives, game over, and difficulty overhaul

• New level exit event

• Campaign map update with traders, empty nodes, and a hungry wall of darkness

• A ton of other stuff we’ve made across this year

Squads and roads abilities are our main focus for this build. They are special powers unique to each spawner, and they will be slightly changed based on your squad composition. We also made a lot of changes in preparation for a decent meta-progression between runs, and the runs themselves are now shorter and more intense. There are many abilities implemented already, but we decided to polish only three of them (sword golems, archers, bees) and get some feedback before completing the rest.

This was a huge refactoring, and the game is still full of bugs, so for now and probably until the 1.0 release we will switch to an unstable release model. The main Steam branch will be kept as it is, while the unstable branch is going to be actively and frequently updated. For 0.12 - 0.13 we will focus on stability and completing all of the remaining abilities for each unit. You can switch your branch anytime in Betas tab of the game properties in Steam.

Thank you so much for staying with us and bearing with this long release schedule <3
