Developer Livestream and AMA
Lead Hexarchy developer will be doing a livestream and answering questions from the community Sunday 2/27 @ 7PM EST.

Developer Livestream and AMA
Hexarchy is a fast-paced strategy game. It takes the consequential decisions of a multi-hour 4x game and packs them into an action-packed hour long game.
Instead of watching me get owned again, this time we'll start with single player so I can take my time explaining the game to new and prospective players. This will also allow me to take questions more easily.
Then, at the end maybe we'll do another multiplayer game and you can watch me get owned again.

A note for our alpha testers that play the non-demo version on Steam: Multiplayer works fine with demo players but unfortunately the Daily Challenge leaderboard does not. We encourage everyone that's doing the challenges to play the demo version for the next week so all of our scores will be on the same leaderboard. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't let you download the demo for a game that is already in your library. The only way around this that we've discovered is to switch your Steam client to an account that doesn't have Hexarchy in its library, install the demo, then switch back. Since the demo is free it should show up in both libraries at that point. Sorry for the inconvenience!
