I just added some new tile shapes to Hexagod since I wanted to make tile placement a bit more interesting. The build is live now on Steam!

I added minions to help break down asteroids and collect the matter.

Why I didn't Finish the GMTK Game Jam 2025
YouTube video by Aarimous Why I didn't Finish the GMTK Game Jam 2025

Life get's in the way.. and more often than not I will probably fall short of my goals

It doesnโ€™t mean I'm a failure

And failing is far more interesting to learn from than success

But it's still hard to work though in the moment, and that's ok.

Probably won't be live today. Woke up mentally drained and exhausted. I'm hoping to be live tomorrow morning for the final day of the GMTK jam.

I made the clicking have an AOE to reduce the number of clicks. Next I'll add an early upgrade for an auto-clicker feature.

What else should I add?

A Game about a Black Hole (Demo) by Aarimous Play in your browser

It's an incremental game so you eventually buy upgrades to your clicks and minions to automate the collection and mining operations. Eventually planets, stars, and other black holes will spawn as well. Here's the POC for this new mechanic: aarimous.itch.io/a-game-about...

The small lighter red objects are raw resources that you are collecting. You break the bigger objects down into raw resources that you then hover over to trigger them to flow into the black hole. This is going to be a fairly abstract game, so the physics will be focused on fun to being realistic.

Trying out clicking asteroids to break them down into raw matter.

Gif doesn't have sound, but it feels so good to play and I've barely even added juice!

I just published the demo for my next game "A Game About a Black Hole" on @itch.io.

It seems to be getting a decent number of plays!

So today I added a call to action to Wishlist the game on Steam. I wonder if that will help convert plays to Wishlists.

I still don't know what I'm doing..
YouTube video by Aarimous I still don't know what I'm doing..

As a kid I thought everyone knew what they were doing and I just didn't, but most of us simply don't..

I'm working on these feeling in therapy and it's helped me realize not knowing what I'm doing is a core to how I want to live my life.

Is Early Access hurting my Game?
YouTube video by Aarimous Is Early Access hurting my Game?

Putting a game into early access is a hard decision and there are many reasons to do it. Here are my thoughts on Hexagod after 3 months of EA on Steam.

Hexagod - Early Access Build 7 - Steam News My Goals for Build 7 This build ended up being aimed at cleaning up the UI/UX from BUILD 6. I tested out the ideas I mentioned in the last post, but adding back in resource costs and the tech tree mad...

EA Build 7 for Hexagod is live now!

My intention is to keep the gameplay loop simple and clean, while adding interesting depth via the relics, buildings, and tile improvements you find during your run.
