What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access so we can understand how our game needs balancing. By allowing the community to play, we can work on balancing the game to stay away from overpowered metas. It also gives us time to work on implementing a large amount of features and get feedback from the community on a number of items.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on releasing the full game one year after the Early Access release date. However, plans do change and the development cycle is never consistent, but we will do everything in our power to hold ourselves accountable to a one year deadline.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main difference is the balancing of in-game businesses and more upgraded content. We also hope to implement rankings and a competitive mode while the game is in Early Access. Not to mention a plethora of quality of life features like overhauls of graphics settings, performance improvements, UI upgrades, free content expansions, rankings, tournaments, and even potentially dedicated servers.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are currently in a very early Pre-Alpha state. Please read below to see current features and planned features:

Currently we have implemented peer-to-peer matchmaking, session creation, and simple online networking features. There is no skill based matchmaking at this time, but we plan to implement it in the future. Currently all games are joined via a session browser.

Single player games have not been implemented yet, but we do plan on implementing AI to play against when offline. Currently all games are multiplayer networked games.

In-game we have implemented hotkeys for saving and loading "business plans" for quick starting matches with your favorite business'. We also have implemented a business search menu to quickly sort through all of the businesses in game in order to help plan your game accordingly.

Upon game completion we have implemented statistics tracking for game review. These stats do not currently save to Steam, but Steam stats will hopefully be implemented at the release of the game. All stats are currently locally stored on a game by game basis.

If you would like more information on Hexonomy's development, check out our roadmap along with our development updates on our website listed here ”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as the game leaves Early Access. Currently the game is free to play. Once we release the game, we plan on keeping it free to play until our first major content update, assuming that development is on track!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We LOVE community feedback! Especially feedback on bugs, balancing suggestions, content suggestions, and everything in between! After all, a game is only as good as its community!

Please refer to our website's contact page to reach out regarding bugs and feedback about the game at

We look forwarding to hearing what you think!”

About This Game

Hexonomy is a game of strategy and economics. Choose from hundreds of different businesses to build and use the resources at your disposal to create the largest economic empire before time runs out. Be sure to keep your eyes open for any weaknesses in your opponents business strategy, placing the right business, at the right time, in the right place, could mean the end of it all for your opponent.

GAMEPLAY
Start with a blank slate. You begin by creating Resource nodes on the map. These will set the basis of the game. Where you place your first resources could affect the outcome of the entire game. All businesses derive from a resources in some shape or form.

From there, you advance into Tiers. Each Tier requires a business from the Tier below it. For example, a Tier 12 business requires a Tier 1 supplier. A Tier 6 supplier requires a Tier 5 supplier. And Tier 1 suppliers always require Resources. The higher the Tier, the bigger the risk, and the bigger the reward. Higher tiers will requires a wider variety of supplies from multiple businesses, so you have to be sure that all the suppliers are met. For each supplier on the map that supplies your business, you get a boost to efficiency, which results in more money for you.

If you own the supplier to your business, you get a HUGE discount on supplies. Meaning, chaining the suppliers and business makes great economical sense when possible. But that may not always be the case.

THE CATCH
There can only ever be ONE of any business. Which means if you need birch wood, and your opponent owns the only tree farm, you HAVE to buy from him. You cannot decline to buy from a supplier. If the supplier is available, you have to buy from them, and you have to pay their price. Meaning, if you know your opponent needs Gold in the future for their Jewelry brokerage, it would be wise to put down a Gold mine if they haven't already. You would profit tremendously selling to your opponent, they wouldn't get a discount, and that means leverage by trying to hike the price up as much as possible.

However, they can do the same to you, so its wise to be careful about leaving any vulnerabilities in your supply chain. These vulnerabilities sometimes may be unavoidable, since the higher Tier business may already require resources that your opponent bought early in the game. This is where prediction and smart calculations will win you the game.

TACTICS
Businesses location and information varies as well. Certain business only do well in certain time of the year (the time of the game is calculated in a 12 month system, using economic quarters and sprints). Some businesses have higher shipping costs than others. Some require a higher amount of resources to produce their product. Other business may have to be placed next to other tiles. Some business cant be within x amount of tiles of another business.

These placement restrictions and variables make it a little harder to create good economic chains. However, they can also be used to your advantage in order to put your opponent in a tough spot. If you know what their strategy is, you can restrict certain businesses from being built by creating others that counter those businesses. Knowing the supply and demand will help you overcome this as you learn about the Hexonomy.

UPGRADES
Once you have businesses placed, you can start thinking about how to upgrade. There are many types of modifiers in the game. Ones that apply to the whole board, ones that apply to all your businesses only, some that affect an area, and some that affect a single business. You can purchase these modifiers for Capital. By doing this, it will effectively cost you Net Worth, but in the long run, may help generate significantly more income. Spend wisely.

WINNING AND LOSING
As the game goes on, you are constantly trying to increase your company's Net Worth. The more property you own, and the more successful businesses you have, and the more Capital your businesses earned you, the higher your company's value. The player with the highest Net Worth at the end of time is the winner.


Create the empire you want! You can choose a hundred different paths to victory, as long as you have a great strategic and economical mind!
