Hello there,

In this patch you’ll find a large rework of the evil hex system, the addition of demons, and a new combat system. In my head this is only version 1 of combat. I have a long list of things I still need to add, but I wanted to release this patch now so I can fix any bugs in the core of combat and get feedback from you on the UI and UX for combat.

Here is a devolg chatting about this patch and my goals for combat:

In the next patch my plan is to add in items which you’ll be able to equip to your villagers. My goal for items is to allow you to specialize your villagers into combat, support, or resource gathering. More to come soon.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or questions. In my head combat is going to be the system which will take Hexagod from a good game to a great game.. or it could ruin the fun entirely, but let’s not let that happen.

Cheers,
Aarimous

Demo 0.5.0 Patch Notes:

Combat:

• Villagers and Demon both have health, attack damage (min, max, flat added), and attack speed
• The units stats will show on a tooltip which appears when you hover over the unit (tooltip is a work in progress)
• When in combat the unit will attack it’s target based on it’s attack speed (think of this like a cooldown)
• The damage value is rolled between the min attack damage and the max attack damage
• The damage can also have a flat amount added
• In the next few patches I plan to add items to units which can increase the stats or grant damage mitigation, or even special effects
