• Performance optimised build branch - 18 September 2024

  We've released a new performance optimised branch with reduced visual quality in exchange for better performance. If you are finding the current build unplayable, try switching to this build. You can access the performance build by right-clicking Hexaquest Playtest in your Steam library > Properties > Betas > Beta Participation > change from None to performance - Optimised for FPS over visual quality. You may need to restart Steam for it to appear. If you try this build, we'd appreciate it if you would let us know how well it runs on your machine in ⁠the #closed-playtesting channel on Discord!

• Welcome to the Hexaquest Demo closed playtest! - 17 September 2024

  This text is also available on Discord in the #closed-playtesting-announcements channel, so if you followed the instructions and read it there already, you're good to go! Thank you for signing up to be part of the Hexaquest Demo playtest! We’ve been working so hard and we’re all super excited to show off what we’ve been cooking. The purpose of this playtest is to gather feedback and make sure the Demo works as well as possible before we release it to the public. This build is not final and there is still content and features missing, and little bugs everywhere. We kindly ask that you do not stream, record, screenshot, or otherwise discuss this build outside of the Closed Playtesting Discord channels. Major Known Issues (IMPORTANT TO READ) The settings menu is not currently in the build, and will be added later. If your machine does not run this build well, you may have to wait for this…
