Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Huebound is playable and fun right now, but there's a lot more I want to build. Early Access lets me get the core game in front of players while I develop the prestige system, balance the economy, and add features based on community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6-12 months. The core gameplay loop is complete. The remaining work is balance tuning, the prestige/reset system, quality-of-life improvements, and content expansion based on player feedback.”

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

“Plans at this point are to address balance and replay value at first, then move into expanding features, but are always subject to change based on community feedback.

Specifically, we're looking at different interesting factory nodes, and upgradability of the existing factory nodes. We are also considering adding additional shop options, if they feel fun!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with:
- 3 primary source types (Blue, Red, Yellow), Combiners, Splitters, and Sellers
- 256 discoverable colors with pre-defined recipes
- Prestige system with permanent bonuses and prestige source nodes
- Node templates — save and replay factory layouts
- Shop with node unlocks and global upgrades
- Full save/load system with autosave
- Tutorial for new players
- Settings with volume controls and colorblind mode
- Collection gallery with recipe hints”

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

“I'm not planning on changing the price at all. ”

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

“Community feedback has driven every major update so far. I read every comment and bug report. Steam discussions, community hub posts, and direct feedback will continue to shape development priorities.”

About This Game

Huebound is an abstract idle factory game about mixing colors.

Place geometric nodes on an infinite canvas, wire them together, and watch colored orbs flow through your network. Blue, Red, and Yellow sources generate primary orbs. Combiners mix them using subtractive color rules — just like real paint. Sellers convert orbs into Light, your currency. Spend Light to expand your factory, unlock new node types, and chase rarer colors.

**256 named colors** hide in the palette. Some are easy — Blue + Red = Purple. Others require layered mixing chains and careful planning. Every color has a name, a tier, and a value. The rarest hues — those furthest from the primaries — are worth the most.

### Features

- **Subtractive color mixing** — Blue + Yellow = Green, Red + Blue = Purple, just like paint
- **256 curated colors** across 6 tiers — from Crimson to Nebula to Tiger Eye
- **Recipe-driven combiners** — every color has a specific recipe visible in the Collection
- **Strategic node placement** — orb travel time depends on connection length
- **Escalating costs** — each node gets more expensive the more you place
- **Prestige system** — reset your factory for permanent bonuses and new prestige source nodes
- **Node templates** — save and replay factory layouts, unlocking more slots as you prestige
- **Shop upgrades** — boost production speed, transfer speed, buffer size, and more
- **Collection gallery** — browse all 256 colors, see recipes, plan your next discovery
- **Colorblind mode** — accessibility option for color vision deficiency
- **Procedural audio** — every sound generated from pure waveforms, no samples
- **Procedural visuals** — no art assets, everything is geometric shapes and glowing particles
- **Auto-save** — your factory persists between sessions

### The Goal

Discover all 256 colors. Experiment with different mixing chains. Browse the Collection to see which recipes you can build with what you've already found. Rare colors are worth exponentially more Light — finding them is how you scale.
