Hexicon Reaches 500 Downloads!

Hi itch.io! First devlog post for Hexicon.

We launched our open beta early in November, and we're excited to say that we recently hit the 500 downloads mark! Even more insane is that we now have around 140 weekly active players. Before November, the most weekly players we had was around 30.

We have been working hard on Hexicon as a side project (and now as a side business!) for years, and all our hard work is finally starting to pay off. Really exciting time for our team of three!

All around, feedback for the game has been very promising. It has been immensely satisfying to have people email and DM us saying "I love the game, it's so fun and unique!" It has been just as satisfying to read and sort through all the bug reports and suggestions that people send, too. After testing in a small group for so long, it's refreshing to have so many new views and ideas come in.

Over the last month, we've been focusing on bug fixes, new features, and building up our online presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. We also have a Discord that we'll start growing as well, so please join if you'd like to be a part of our community!

Thanks for reading, and we're planning on sharing some more dev content in the future!
