Raise brood, make room in the comb, and keep your colony supplied with food and water.
MULTIPLAYER BROWSER STRATEGY
Hive Dominion
Build. Expand. Defend. Evolve. Dominate.
Command a colony of giant bees in a world shared with other players. Raise your brood, scout beyond your borders, and claim the resources your hive needs to grow.
ALPHA TEST · RECRUITING TESTERS
Players are already sharing The Gilded Path, our first Apiary. Alpha access is by invitation.
YOUR COLONY. YOUR STRATEGY.
From a single hive to a dominion
Choose where your bees work, what they explore, and which ground is worth fighting for.
Expand
Survey unknown ground, claim resource sites, and connect them to your growing territory.
Defend
Balance expeditions with bees kept at home. Choose when to commit a force and when to hold it back.
Evolve
Train your Battle Bee and develop your colony's lineage. Inherited mutations shape later generations of workers.
Dominate
Establish more hives and compete with neighboring colonies for resources, territory, and room to grow.
BEFORE YOU JOIN
A few good questions
A real multiplayer alpha, still being built. Here's what to expect.
Is Hive Dominion multiplayer?
Yes. Players are already building colonies in the same persistent world. Each game server is called an Apiary. Our current Alpha Test takes place in The Gilded Path.
What can I do in the alpha right now?
Survey the map, claim resource territory, manage your hive and brood, train a Battle Bee, and try practice battles. Features and balance are still changing as testers play.
How do I join the Alpha Test?
We're recruiting testers now. Request an invitation through our Alpha Testing page. If you're invited, you'll sign in with the Google account linked to that invitation.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Hive Dominion runs in your web browser. We recommend a desktop or laptop for alpha testing; mobile layouts are still being refined.
Does the world stop when I log out?
No. Missions and colony life continue on the server. You don't need to leave a browser tab open for bees to travel, gather, or develop.
What does alpha testing cost?
Alpha testing is free. Support is voluntary and does not buy access, in-game power, or rewards. The game's design rules out paid competitive advantages.
Will my alpha progress carry over?
Alpha progress is not permanent. Test worlds may reset while we work on the game, and testing does not grant a head start when the public game opens.
Where can I follow development?
The development page covers notable releases and work in progress. The Status page lists our Apiaries, including the active Alpha Test and the planned Beta Test.
