Hive Time Jam Prototype
A downloadable prototype for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Hi! This is a prototype version of Hive Time, based on a snapshot of the game's source code from early May 2019 at the end of the 10 day jam that Mim and myself originally created it for.
Though this prototype includes some changes and additions, it is intended to represent what we had in mind for Hive Time without exceeding the kind of work that would have been achievable during the jam. For this reason, it still has a few bugs and plenty of rough edges, but is more stable and more playable than the game was on the 10th day.
Our hope is to show Hive Time's origins and give a point of comparison for what was accomplished during the 7 months leading up to the game's release in early Beecember 2019.
If you haven't seen/played the full version of Hive Time, it's probably best to play that first.
Enjoy!
