Hello everyone, the new patch is here!Sorry for the 2 months wait, I hope you like the changes in this update and new biome is also coming soon.Thank you for your patience and support!And just a question, is anybody experiencing crashes or freezes? -Replaced the Crafting system with the Infuse system. Crafting felt redundant because you can collect plenty of loot in a run, and I wanted to create a more meaningful system. Infusing adds a special stat to your items to further calibrate your builds. Infusion recipes unlock as you recycle items. Each gear slot type accepts a different set of infusions, and an item holds one infusion at a time.-Added Loadouts. Three tabs for items and three for orbs: switch a tab and that setup is equipped instantly. The active tab updates itself as you change gear. Items saved in a loadout are marked in your inventory.-Added Leaderboards. Each Boss and Thre…

Hello everyone, the new patch is here!Lots of balance changes this time. Nearly every weapon and damage dealing artifact has been tuned.I also found and fixed a bug where Armor was actually increasing the damage taken, so runs will probably get a bit easier.These changes were made based on collected data. I will keep an eye on how they impact the balance and continue tuning in future patches.-Added tutorial overlays for the consoles in Base. New players will see these on their first visit to learn what each console does. Existing players may see them once as well.-Added UI animation to the Mecha Experience Bar at the run earnings screen.-Various combat code optimizations that should help performance in longer sessions.-Fresh saves now stars from the Hunt isntead of Base.-Fixed armor increasing damage taken instead of reducing it. Armor now works as intended.-Fixed weapons (e.g. Arc, Orb…

- 0.19.001 Coldbreak Plains - 16 May 2026
Hey everyone,It's been a long time of silence, and I owe you an honest explanation.Developing this game was a long, isolated process and by the time it launched, I had burned out really hard.I needed to step away and spend some time with family and friends. It was something I genuinely needed to keep going. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.Since the new year I've been back at it. Heads down, focused on finishing this update. I didn't want to come back empty handed or make promises I couldn't keep, so I stayed quiet and kept building until I had something real to show. The update is out today. Thank you for waiting. It means more than I can say.And to those who stuck around through the silence, I'm truly sorry.You deserved better communication, and I'll do better from here.Here's what's included in the update:-NEW BIOME Coldbreak Plains, a whole new biome with a complete new mob set, b…

Hello everyone, the new patch is here! I’ve started work on the new biome, which will include new enemies, bosses, artifacts, orbs, a new weapon, a new mecha, unique items, and set items. It will probably take me a couple of months to finish. I’ll try to have it ready by the Steam Winter Sale. Meanwhile, I’ll keep releasing patches for QoL, balance, and bug fixes every 2–3 weeks. Here is whats included in this patch : -Re-enabled artifacts Chain Lightning and Hunter’s Mark. These were tested in the opentest for a while, so they should be good. Let me know if you see any issues. -Increased move speed in base. -Pylon gives you an objective now when you dont meet the requierements. Elite spawns when you complete the objective. So you dont need to go back to the Pylons. -Added resume button to the game menu -Capped Hp bar size. This is just a visual cap to the ui -Added Criticial Chance sta…

Hello everyone, patch 0.18.007 is here. I've spent most of my time working on trying to fix the crashes. I'm trying to find and fix things that causing the issues, so hopefully there should be less crashes in this patch. If you notice any pattern or something that crashes the game, please let me know. Memory leak issues while transitioning scenes should be fixed. You can send your crash logs or player logs to the [email protected] You can find them here: Users//AppData/Local/Temp/Massive Hug/Demon Hunt/Crashes Users//AppData/LocalLow/Massive Hug Also backing up your save files once in a while might be a good idea. Crashes might corrupt them if they happen mid-save. -Fixed the Orb of Persistance causing pylons not acting properly. -Added a warning that pops up when inventory is full. -Fixed the reroll button size. -Decreased the brightness of Soulstone particles and Dualsaber. -Increas…
- 0.18.006 - 4 August 2025
Hello everyone, patch 0.18.006 is here. -Fixed the Halo weapon not damaging properly. This was actually affecting many other stuff, so if you see anything gets overpowered after this patch let me know. -Fixed the Swarm Cloud not triggering Corrosive damage effects. -Added a max level available indicator to the workbench screen. -Fixed the memory issue caused by green goo puddles. This might be actually one of the reasons people get more crashes after threat level 3 as Jaya spawns bunch of them leading to memory corruption. -Removed the Chain Lightning and Hunter's Mark from the game for now. I think they've been causing some of the crashes and a bit tricky to solve right now. -Crashes caused by Surge, Disc, Arc and Swarm Nodes should be fixed. That being said, there are still memory leak issues in the game, leading to crashes after a while, taking Steam down with itself. Monitoring your…
