HexWind Update 19 - Previewing Daily Run Mode
Hey VR die-hards. Update 19 is live with a teaser of a new game mode designed to show off some map variety and give your highest scoring game session a place in the HexWind record books. Let’s dive in.

With this update we’ve opened preview access to Daily Run mode. Every day at 10am Pacific, there will be a new map available to play and compete on against other players for the best map score. At the end of each day, the highest scoring player on that day’s map will get their name permanently added to the scoreboard for that map. Mission score is the first thing we’re tracking on the leaderboards, and we’ll be adding additional leaderboard stats soon.
We’ve tested Daily Run mode very thoroughly, but the Early Access tag applies in a big way on this update. It’s one of the more intricate features we’ve added so far in terms of potentially introducing stability issues. If you run into any problems, particularly blockers or situations where it seems like the run progression is broken, it’s a huge help if you come over to our Discord server to let us know so we can get a fix out ASAP.
Last week we rolled out the Beat the Devs competition - so far a few people have tried but no one has successfully knocked Cory off the top of the hill. We’re going to keep the contest open for at least another week, so you’ve still got time to jump into the contest!
