Why Early Access?

“I've spent the past two years working on Hex Town to make an interesting, beautiful, and polished multiplayer puzzle game. For the home stretch, I decided to make it available to players who want to be first in line, have their feedback prioritized, and who don't mind running into a bug or placeholder here and there.

I have worked diligently and spent thousands of hours testing, balancing, and beautifying Hex Town. You won't be buying a half-baked prototype, but a full game that could benefit from your kindness and leniency as I patch issues and tweak content.

I don't take this decision lightly, and I am 100% committed to using Early Access in a way that respects your valuable time and trust. Thank you!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I want to release Hex Town ASAP! My plan is to stay in Early Access for 1-3 months based on player feedback, and to fully release before the end of 2026.”

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

“The full version of Hex Town will look and feel very similar to the Early Access version. The most noticeable changes will likely come from me tweaking level content, adding sounds and visual effects, improving tutorials, and making sure multiplayer runs smoothly.

In the full version, I also plan to add more cosmetic content. Namely, more options for hand cursors, environment details, tile visuals, and lots of new challenges, rewards and unlockables.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is working great and is ready to play! I treat every update as a major release that brings meaningful changes and improvements.”

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

“Absolutely. You're signing up to be one of the first players of Hex Town, so it's only fair that you get it at a discounted price. Naturally, the fully-released version will bump up to a price more in line with similar games of this genre.”

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

“I genuinely read every bit of feedback and use it to make Hex Town better! There's several improvements that have already been added thanks to player input.

I absolutely love reading about your experience, good or bad! In fact, there's a feedback window that you can open in-game to send feedback directly to my inbox.

There's also a thumbs up/thumbs down button at the end of each level that you can use if you don't have time to send a full message.

You can also jump in the Discord or email me if you prefer.

My goal is to stay true to the spirit of Hex Town while making improvements and adjustments that bring the most joy.
