You get an email from an unknown person. They have leaked the images of aliens in Area51. But the CIA takes control of your computer and corrupts both the images and breaks them into your folders. The wizard then comes to your protection and saves one of the images. Your goal is to collect the parts of the images to reveal the secret image.

Hexey is a mind-bending, level-based puzzler about overlapping computer windows to create traversable, top-down landscapes. Delve into the heart of an unusual operating system, one folder at a time!

Fixed the Bug where some walls still had collision even after being overlapped! Also fixed the bit collector as there was a duplication issue.

I fixed the bug where when the tiles used to come on top of each other then they moved together when clicked.

Fixed the issue that the tiles pile on top of each other if overlapping. Also added offset so the tiles dont tp to center of your mouse when clicked

If you are wondering if the alien image was real then I don’t know myself lol, I found them in a UFO. For right now this was just part one of the game. The second part of the game is still in progress!

My last commit of the final export is too big. So after the long time I have finally added all the Sounds, fixed all the little bugs, and spent like 30min exporting and re-exporting cause during testing I changed values here and there so i could test things and forgot to change them back. But finally the export has been done!! I tried exporting to IOS but it is just too difficult for me. So the Web and the Windows version is available on ITCH. Go check it out and tell me if you like it!!!!

good work keep it up

Rishabh Mittal

After ALOT of bug fixes I am finally finished with my game. YAY!! All I now have to do is add sound effects! That should take me only about 30min so…. this might be my last devlog for this game! Hopefully you all like it 🤞🤞. I might also make a thumbnail but that depends on how exhausted I would be after adding sounds. Also I forgot to mention is previous devlogs I did add a new hexagon!! It is the “SPIKE”. Basically u cant place a tile over it. Makes the game very interesting. I also added the feature of locked tiles so they cant move or be re-layered.

Hello! So after about 2hrs I have finally finished the 3rd level. It looks very easy but it is very difficult. Still no sounds in-game. Also I ran into this bug where when the +100 bit is displayed, it was shown again and again, even when the lv wasnt passed. It took me quite a lot time (30min) to understand what was happening and the fix was basically making the variable global so it would refresh after every load in!

I had to post that above Level 3 devlog but forgot to press the create devlog button and went to coding so now I also have finished the level 4! Yipeee! For now I decided for the 1st ship I wont be adding F2 because I have a lot to do already and making maps takes days of work alone. I also removed 1 level (level 6) so now I only have 1 more level to do!! Also I have to add sound…Sad that going to take SOO much time, and I have to reveal the images…so an animation for that….yah still alot of my plate but thats what I have cooked so far!!!

  • Making Level 1 (37d74bb)
  • Made all the UI for the second Page. Still a bit is left (c710ac6)

During the making level 1 I had added the SecondMainPage. This is the main page that will be shown after the animation has played once. Because we cant have the user seeing the animation again and again.

I have also made all the UI for the SecondMainPage. It took me ALOT of time because I couldnt figure out how to make the Sound UI work. I took help from MANY youtube videos and designed my own sound bar.

For all I have attached a video down below. Now I just have to make the levels, and the mouse change according to button and make a custom themed mouse. I tried making draggable windows but they didnt work so I just decided to not do that.
Also don’t judge the recording quality. I am still testing different recorders cause my computer’s recording software got corrupted

I have started making the first level of the game. I still have the UI pending but I felt like making a level. This is a starter level that is why it looks easy. A levels will get harder as the game levels rise.

Full Animation of the Page Complete. All I have to do is maybe tweaks the timings and add Sound Effects. Please give feedback on how it looks. Also the level shown is just an example. It won’t be like that when I am done with the animations and making tiles. Also have to start work on the UI of the Levels.

I created this Really cool look window. I learned to use NineRectPact. Almost all the UI in this game is designed by me. Takes a really long time to do that. It took like 30min to design this window. Also I redesigned the hex tiles to fit the game pallet

Hi, I have edited the animations of my game. I have started working on the main page. Here is my progress of today. Made a glitch effect. No outside assets used and all in game coding. Very proud of it. It has a very cool animation. Made a task bar also. The buttons right now dont have any function but will add something cool. Also made a selector around the pfp rather than the shadow!

Today I learned how to make CRT Shader Effects in Godot. Also I made many custom sprites. They are suppose to be the users pfp. I made it so when they are selected they give this shadow behind them. Also made very good looking animations. Added typing sound. Going to add the user profile maker next. Spent about 2hrs. making the pfp lol but that time wasn’t counted.

So today, I spent about 5 hours figuring out how to fix overlapping walls. Before this when the tiles overlapped there wall did not get disabled. So I spent my time trying to figure out the best way to make that happen. I also added some collectables and portals for the function of my game!

After very long I have made the character spawning system. It basically spawns at a point (a portal). I also made the animation system. Tried using shaders to learn something new but then decided not to make it too difficult. Also started working on the Main Menu.
