• Huebound is now Open-Source! - 28 March 2026

  🎨 Huebound is Now Open SourceToday I'm making Huebound's source code publicly available, and I want to share why.Huebound is an abstract idle factory game about mixing colors — place geometric nodes on an infinite canvas, wire them together, and discover all 256 named hues through subtractive color mixing, just like real paint. It launched on Steam Early Access a week ago, and getting it in front of players has been incredibly rewarding.But this game wouldn't exist without the community. Your feedback shaped the balance, guided the features, and helped me understand what this kind of game could actually be. It felt wrong to keep the code behind closed doors when so many of you had a hand in what ended up in it.There's something else I want to be upfront about: Huebound was written entirely with AI assistance. AI coding tools helped write and debug the game code from start to finish. I…

• Soft lock fix live - 28 March 2026

  Recovery Orbs Added wandering color orbs that appear when you're broke and can't earn. Click for 50 Light. They vanish once you can afford a Seller. This prevents softlocks after prestige when escalating Seller costs could trap you with zero options. Thanks to ParadiddlePride for finding this edge case.

• Discord Server Now Available! - 27 March 2026
• Known Issue - 27 March 2026

  After a prestige, it is possible to spend down to 0 before purchasing a seller, so it is never possible to earn Light. I plan on implementing a fix for this over the weekend. I don't know what that fix looks like yet, maybe a true idle-esque Click-For-One-Currency button somewhere. More to come, but for now, make sure to get yourself a cheap seller loop down on the canvas and operational before spending all your hard-earned Light! Thank you, ParadiddlePride, for reporting this issue!

• UI Scaling - 26 March 2026

  There is now a setting in the Video section of the settings menu to allow for scaling the UI up (or down you mad lads). Mostly implemented for High-DPI displays / 4K accessibility. Thanks to VoidEternal on Bitcraft for the feedback / idea!

• Collection Search, Bugfixes - 25 March 2026

  Added a new feature: Collection Search. Type a color in the Collection Window to see other recipes that use that color. Fixed an issue where clicking on a node immediately deselected it. Added clarification when hovering over colors in the collection that other recipes may exist for a color.

• Fixed Achievements, more intuitive connector removal - 23 March 2026

  Bug Fixes Fixed Steam achievements not unlocking. Turns out we shipped the server version of the Steam plugin instead of the client one. Fixed Steam integration not initializing properly. The game now auto-connects to Steam on startup instead of waiting around hoping Steam would notice it. Removed debug key bindings (F10/F11/F12) that were accidentally left in. They didn't do anything scary, but they also didn't do anything useful. Improvements Connection lines now highlight red when you hover over them, with a little X button to delete them. Cleaned up internal Steam integration code.
