PUBLIC test :)

I decided to make this test fully available to everyone
I copy letter which I wrote to guys, who sent me a letter here

Hello, everyone!

Public pre-alpha is launched and server online

For now it work on my home media server and can sometime work not very well, please be patient

I'll be available via email and skype (find me by 'rsklnkv')

I want to inform again (sorry for CAPS) :)  :

THIS IS PUBLIC PRE-PRE-ALPHA :)

this is not even a alpha, and not a beta

* for now i have a plan to add 'Clans' and 'Mobs' in nearest future, i will make a Vote on my blog to decide what to do first

For now server is launched with very small world on it (only 4x4 hexes)

This is only for test purpose, server can handle 1million+ hexes :)

So instructions:

0. start configurator.exe to set options and then start game.exe

1. you can use any login/password combination to register (account will be created automatically), but remember it to continue play in future :)

2. set preffered graphics options in options window (press esc in game) - on my laptop (core2duo & 8800gts high quality shadows works well - make experiments :))

3. inventory&craft tab can be opened by Tab key (you can find Recipe list there too, just click on item name to get recipe preview in craft window)

4. to chat press Enter and type message (only English language supported in chat)

Small info about game:

You can't capture Hex if it already captured by other player

You must protect your Hex from other players till you offline (build Cannons)

You can kill&loot other players (so be carefull)

On neutral Hex every player can gather and build (but don't build Cannons - they become neutral creatures\monsters and kill everyone on this Hex)

PS: if you have any question, please, prefer a Skype to contact me :)

Public pre-alpha registration

Guys, I need a list of peoples, who want to take a part of pre-alpha test
Post here your preffered login and i will send you a password and link to download
(it will be available in a day or two - depends from infrastructure setup time)
(everyone, who sent me a mail will recieve a login/password today)

IP spam :)

Guys, please, don't spam or request my IP, i have some problems with my ISP because of that :)
Version will be available withing a week to all who requested it via email

Sunrise video

So, here is the video of HexaMMO sunrise.
This sunrise symbolizes a near start of public pre-alpha :)

Day/night 4x cycle

Its very fast day/night cycle

Added Moneybookers Donate button

I was advised to do this :)
I have no comments here

So.. one more week and two more videos

First - playing Coop with exploration and PvP
Second - automatic base defence (what will happen if you go offline and someone want to capture your Hex..)

Closed pre-alpha test

Guys, if someone want to improve Hexa and get to test server - comment here or email me (denis.khachatran@gmail.com)

And again - random video :)

Two weeks with no updates. Here is update (video)

So HexaMMO is more than in a month in active development
Today I show a video with Minecraft-like gameplay
This is tech demo of Blocks in HexaMMO, the game is not about it, this is just a part

Real game is owning, PvP'ing, and other MMO-like things but in world built from blocks and buildings :)

Status update

Alot of time was spent to add new BlockEngine, which allows to add numerous blocks and cells in the world
Some experiments with blocks based world (remove hexes and add hex-from-blocks instead)

Thinking about launching public pre-alpha in next few days

Added paypal button :)

Now, if you like HexaMMO and want me to continue, you can donate me a few bucks.
This $$$ will be used to purchase additional content for HexaMMO, hire artist and buy license for NA engine

Moving to public pre-alpha

Prepairing textures, materials and populating Test World
Purchasing hosting, adding public Master Server, adding test accounts

Project moving

Moving from code.google.com to other SVN hosting

Hexa is under heavy development

Now cleaning resources, adding stuff and prepairing for public pre-alpha

Status update.. again

Everything is work like a charm now :)
Added custom buildings - build-a-world with a Blocks (like in Minecraft :) )
Thinking on additional gameplay now

HexaMMO status update

Resource system implemented, resource gathering implemented, hexes is much nicer, alot of stuff done
Thinking about Spherical Hex Worlds now

Inventory or resources

That is the question :)

Thinking about resources, craft, ...
What is the best - resources (like in StarCraft) or inventory (like in Diablo or WoW)

Both schemes in Hexa right now, but can't decide what is best for Hexa

Moment is come

Today I contacted with NeoAxis developers (engine for HexaMMO) and they confirmed my guesswork - i can't use existing content in HexaMMO (the player model, textures and some objects)

For now i will use this assets, but in nearest future i need a money for buying assets or a guy, who can create them

HexaMMO status update

New night and new changes, the game (its already a game:)) is getting visual improvements. Artist hand is still critical, but there is no chance to get it in nearest future. Few screenshots of early version:

Hexa paper-engine based prototype

HexaMMO development status

This days HexaMMO is live in own world, somewhere in Google Code, but in some time later it will be available to public.
This MMO will be about players-made hex-based worlds and their expansion in a large scale hex-splitted world in a FPS or TPS view

For now not a much things done, but it's already looks like a real game  with a few cool features
