Hexters News

Hello,

Lots of small fixes, changes and improvements!

------

How often do you intend to update the Early Access version?
Depends a bit of what kind of update we're cooking up, but we're hoping big updates such as new levels and features would be around 4 to 6 weeks.

Does the game work on OSX?
Absolutely! Just make sure your hardware is powerful enough.

And Linux?
Oh yes!

Consoles? Mobile?
Nope. Maybe in the future consoles might be interesting.

I found a bug or I got suggestions!
We're sure you do, and we're asking you to let us know in our über-elite bug tracker and forum thing at forums

What about multiplayer?
We'd love to do a co-op multiplayer, but it's not really viable right now. Help us out by getting some wind under our wings and it becomes more realistic :)
