Daily Build

February 14, 2016 - BoaNeo

I'm making frequent (if not daily) builds available on Dropbox for anyone who wants more than just a screenshot and a video:

Beware that these are untested builds and that they will require frequent updating as I make no effort to keep server changes backwards compatible (or preserve server data for that matter). It's the wild wild west, so enter at your own peril and guns blazing :)

Description

The classic massive multiplayer online strategy game Hexadome reincarnated in full 3D with an all new cast of units and objectives.

Ever since the first Hexadome was pulled almost 15 years ago as part of GameLofts change of focus from Browser Games to Mobile, I've wanted to create a sequel, and this is it, but it's much more than that. Hexadome 2 ups the stakes on all accounts from gameplay features to visuals, adding a full 3D world, turn based sieges and user controlled strongholds.

Hexadome 2 offers a unique blend of long-running real-time strategy gameplay and turn based sieges on an ever expanding map. Resource collection, troop research and construction, logistics and bombs and explosions, it's all there, and it's all playable from a range of platforms from PC/Mac to iOS, Android and Linux thanks to the Unity platform.

I am posting this as a concept here on Steam to get some feedback before deciding which path to pursue first (Desktop or mobile?), but the game is already way more than a concept.

In fact it is fully playable, albeit not yet properly balanced and still suffering from various small bugs. If enough people shows an interest, I'll try to get it on Early Access as a free game to continue balancing and fine tuning the game before its final commercial release.

I played the original hexadome . My name was Destrega. I would very much like to see this come back.

I've zipped it instead - same location, or you can use the direct link to OsX build here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ijlxe93fm02ewlr/Hexadome-Mac.zip?dl=0

Odd... It works for me, but I did have another Mac user who had to copy it to his own dropbox to be able to download it, for whatever reason. If you have dropbox you can try that, but I'll try to move it to a more appropriate place, regardless.

The application “hexadome-mac” can’t be opened.

Sorry I'm so slow to reply - for some reason I'm not getting any notification mails from Steam. Guess I'll just have to check in daily :)

Yes, the dropbox link has a Mac and a PC version. I'll add Linux eventually (or as soon as someone asks and is prepared to do the initial field tests :) ). Then follows iOS and Android, possibly Windows Phone.

It's a Unity client and I'm trying to keep the triangle count down and stick to mobile shaders, so it should be doable.

Oh wait there will be mac, luinx?

Harcourt Feb 18, 2016 @ 3:40pm
