It's Ada Lovelace Day!

She was the first person ever to publish a computer program, before we had transistors or thermionic valves and, in fact, before the first computer!

To celebrate, Hexahedra is currently 50% off in the #AdaLovelaceDay Steam sale.

For 1/35th of the price of a PS5 Pro you can get a copy of Hexahedra on Steam right now.

Hexahedra lets you use lasers to read the state of cubes in your factory, so unlike Sony I'm throwing in the optical drive for free.

Hexahedra is returning to Stratlan! I ran a beta here back before the Steam demo came out, and now I'm back with a contest and some merch to win.

If you're coming, you'll find a flyer with details on your desk.

Come and find me in seat A4 if you've got any questions!

Hexahedra is part of this year's Cerebral Puzzle Showcase
@puzzleshowcase.bsky.social, which starts tomorrow - 23rd-30th May.

The launch discount will run throughout CPS, so get yourself to Steam, try the demo, ship some cubes, and see if you can find Octavius hiding about the place.
Image announcing that Hexahedra will be part of Cerebral Puzzle Showcase 2024. The text below the Hexahedra logo reads: "A visual programming game of factories, cubes, and mechanical choreography". Below, Octavius the octopus with an arrow pointing at him and the text "(and a tiny octopus called Octavius)".

We did it! Or rather, you did it! Hexahedra has hit the 10-review threshold and is officially rated "Positive" on Steam! Thank you to everyone who went straight out and bought the game when it launched ❤️

Hexahedra is just one review away from the magic 10, when games get a big visibility boost on Steam. If you're into puzzles, automation, and lasers, check it out. And if you do pick up a copy (❤️), please leave a review!

Almost there! The last big thing is making sure all the achievements are working on Steam.

I'm about to start what may be the final prelaunch development stream for Hexahedra, come and say hi!

You can definitely spot the point a few weeks ago when I launched the new, improved trailer.

I'd love to reach 3k wishlists before launch next week, if you like puzzles, programming, and optimization, then head to Steam and wishlist Hexahedra! #gamedev

Hexahedra is 10 days away from release!

Still one or two things to tweak, but it's pretty much there!

I had thought about putting Octavius in charge of the Puzzle Editor's tutorial, but I think his level of English might be an issue.

On the other hand, who wouldn't want to upload a puzzle to the Water Vapour Workshop?
A tutorial popup where Octavius starts to explain the Puzzle Editor. The text box is titled "Puzzling Editor", and the text (which contains unsuccessful attempts to spell the word "unique") reads as follows: Saluting! Here is explaining of puzzle editor, where can create yoon unik special obstacle for acquaintances to complete. Once satisfaction, can upload to Water Vapour Workshop!

If you backed Hexahedra at the Burial tier or higher on Kickstarter, these are the peak-fashion cubes you'll be laid to rest in. Sorry about the ☣️ stickers, my hands are tied.
Screenshot from Hexahedra. The popup text reads: "These are the mosaic cubes we need to deliver, in three different colours. I know the biohazard stamps look a bit tasteless, but that's interstellar shipping regulations for you. They'll remove them at the other end."

You'd trust this man hiding in a cupboard, right? He has ID and everything! #gamedev
An office with a man wearing a trenchcoat, hat, and dark glasses hiding in a cupboard. His ID indicates that he works for the Galactic Health & Safety Inspectorate. Dialogue text: "The Galactic Health and Safety Inspectorate has had multiple reports of violations, so I'm here to investigate and make a report to my...um...superiors."

There's definitely NO REASON AT ALL to be suspicious of the work orders that arrive if you manage to find Octavius hidden around the factory. #puzzle #indiegame
Narrative screen from Hexahedra, including many spelling errors and crossed-out text. "This is Dantar. Have worker order. Very impertont costumer! Has many family visit, needs place for sleeping. Please deliver 5 (various crossed-out attempts at spelling "aquarium") glass buckets." Octavius the Octopus, wearing his sailor hat.
