🐝 Welcome to Hive Town! My game is now available in beta!
For some time now, I have been working on a small project connected with Hive.
At first, it was just a simple idea:
What if Hive was not only a website, but also a small virtual town where we could meet and spend time together?
That idea slowly started to grow… and today I would like to invite you to test the beta version of Hive Town! 🏘️🐝
This is still an early version of the game. Some things may not work perfectly yet, some mechanics will be changed, and many new features are still only planned.
And that is exactly why I need your help.
I would like you to enter the town, explore it a little, try the available activities and tell me what you think about everything.
I created the entire website with the help of ChatGPT. For me, it is still hard to believe that nowadays all you really need is some motivation, an idea and a vision to create something cool.
🏘️ Welcome to Hive Town
Hive Town is a small interactive world inspired by the Hive community.
You can freely move around the town, visit buildings and discover different activities connected with Hive.
[SCREENSHOT – Main Town / Honey Market]
The central place is the Honey Market, where your adventure begins.
You can move using WASD or simply click the place where you want your character to go.
Different buildings lead to different features and mini-games.
🏠 Creator House
The Creator House is a place for Hive authors.
Players can discover posts submitted by other users and vote for their favorites.
Posts remain visible for a certain amount of time, and the most popular creator can be highlighted as the town leader.
In the future, I would like this to become an interesting place for discovering people and content that we might normally never come across.
Post promotion used to be very popular on Discord, but I wanted to try something different.
I want you to be able to promote yourself directly inside the game.
🍺 The Hive Tavern
Every proper town needs a tavern. 😄
The Hive Tavern works as a small guide to the world of Hive Town.
It is a place where new players can learn how the town works and discover what can be found there.
🎁 Contest House
The town also has a building dedicated to community contests and events.
In the future, I would like to organize different types of events here, together with shared prize pools connected with Hive.
One of the current ideas is a community goal of 100 HIVE for a contest prize pool.
🏆 Creator Ranking
Players can also choose their favorite creators.
Everyone receives a limited number of votes and decides who deserves them.
My goal is for the ranking to become more than just a simple table — I want it to be a real part of the Hive Town world.
The top three creators will have their own monuments in the town, giving them more visibility and recognition.
⚔️ Dark Ruins
If peacefully walking around the town becomes a little too relaxing… you can always leave the city gates. 😈
Outside Hive Town, you will find the Dark Ruins — a small dungeon where you can take on a challenge, defeat enemies and try to find treasure.

This part of the game is still being developed, so I am especially interested in your feedback about the difficulty, movement and overall gameplay.
And as a little extra motivation, a contest connected with this location will be announced soon.
🧟 Zombie Arena
And yes…
somehow, zombies also found their way to Hive Town. 😂
Zombie Arena is an experimental FPS-style mini-game where you can grab a weapon and try to survive wave after wave of zombies.
It is something completely different from the peaceful town, but that is exactly what I wanted.
I did not want Hive Town to become just a walking simulator.
Over time, I want to add different types of mini-games and activities.
I am a huge fan of FPS games myself, so there was no way I could leave something like this out. 😄
A contest will also appear here. The three best players will receive prizes — but more about that soon…
🧪 Why am I sharing the game already?
Because I can test the game myself hundreds of times…
but I will never use it exactly the same way as another player.
Someone will click something I never clicked.
Someone will find a bug.
Someone will come up with an idea that never crossed my mind.
And thanks to feedback like this, the game can become much better.
So if you decide to visit Hive Town, I would really like to know:
Did you find any bugs?
Was anything confusing?
Which part of the town did you like the most?
What would you add?
Would you come back to Hive Town if the town continued to grow?
Even a short comment would be very helpful to me.
⚠️ Remember — this is still a beta
Hive Town is still under development.
Some features are experimental, some systems will be changed, and many new ones will be added in the future.
At this stage, what I mainly want to find out is whether people enjoy the idea of a small game world built around the Hive community.
If the feedback is positive, I already have many ideas for the future:
multiplayer, more buildings, more mini-games, community events, achievements, contests with prizes and many other things.
This little town can become much bigger over time.
The main goal is to bring people together, give users another way to promote their own content, encourage friendly competition and allow players to win rewards through mini-games.
I’m not doing this for profit; it’s not a massively ambitious project created by a professional developer. I’m doing it because I have an idea and want to have some fun here on Hive, and AI gives us the opportunity to do just that.
But first…
Hive Town needs residents. 😄
🐝 Welcome to Hive Town.
Enter the town, take a look around and make sure to let me know what you think!
See you in town! 👋
