The time has come! Now that the demo is live, the next step is to raise the funds for the rest of the game! Although I'll continue to cover all the code and game design, the Kickstarter campaign will allow me to commission the rest of the assets needed for Hexahedra, including sound effects Dantar and Juliana, whose factories you'll operate:
Backing the project will mean you can get a copy of the game for below the launch price. There will also be higher tiers that start with adding a copy of the soundtrack and, at the top end, will allow you to design a level for the game. It's taken two and a half years to get here - a huge thank you to everyone who played the beta or the demo and gave feedback and reported bugs. The game wouldn't be in such a solid state without you!

Hexahedra is an open-ended programming puzzle game. Fill a cube factory with a variety of devices and program them to work together to produce the required cubes. Go back and tweak your solutions to make them increasingly efficient, and compete for the best solutions with your friends and other players across the world.

Design Factories

Fill a series of workstations with devices that can either alter a cube, such as spray painters, panel removers, and payload adders, or that can react to a cube's state, including weighers, and lasers that react to colour. Program each workstation to manipulate and alter cubes and use the reactive devices to branch the flow of logic.

 

Pursue Efficiency

Compete against your friends and the rest of the world to produce the quickest, or simplest, or least wasteful solution to each puzzle.

Save (or rule!) the Galaxy

Cubes have become the galaxy's most important commodity, a fact that some intend to exploit to their own advantage. Track down the conspiracy, infiltrate it, and bring it down. Or don't, and take your place amongst the new rulers.
