Hexarchy 1.0.817 - Introducing Singleplayer save feature
Hi all.
It’s been thrilling to see so many people playing and enjoying Hexarchy since launch. It’s been brilliant seeing a huge number of people connect with the game, and enjoying fast-paced 4X sessions either solo or in online multiplayer.
We’ve read everything you’ve sent us. And whilst the positives have been overwhelming, it’s those of you who have taken time to offer constructive feedback which we’ve really appreciated. The team has been working incredibly hard to respond to everything that’s been suggested – and we’re delighted to unveil our latest update which hopefully addresses some of the most common observations.
By far the biggest request has been to introduce the option to save a game during a single-player session. There were some technical challenges behind the scenes which had originally made this a pretty complicated feature – but we’re really pleased to say that from this update onwards, players will be able to return to a game mid-session. There are some caveats: the game only saves between turns, you can only have one save game activate at any time, and you will be unable to continue a Challenge or Hegemon game if the time to complete has passed. But hopefully this offers players a way to enjoy the single-player game with a little more freedom. One additional note of caution: we can’t guarantee saves will be compatible between versions, so you may need to roll back to complete a game in progress occasionally. We’ll do our best to keep that to a minimum.
As you would expect: online multiplayer is a little different – all players need to be on the same version, and you can’t save mid-session.
We’re working hard to ensure you have a reason to return to the game over and over, and will confirm what’s next for Hexarchy shortly. But until then, please do read the full patch notes below – and happy hexing!
