⚙️ Demo Patch 2.0 – Weapon Updates, Merchant & Point System!

Hey everyone!
We’ve just released a brand-new update for the Death Hive Demo, packed with gameplay improvements and fresh new systems that bring more life (and death) to the hive. Here’s what’s new:

🧨 Major Additions

  • New Merchant System – Find the merchant in-game to trade your hard-earned points for weapons, ammo, and other supplies. Manage your resources carefully — survival depends on it.

  • Point System – Enemies now reward points when defeated. Spend them at the merchant or save up for that powerful weapon you’ve been eyeing.

  • Weapon Updates – Adjusted fire rates, recoil, and balance across several weapons for smoother combat and more satisfying gun play.

  • Dynamic zombie movement speeds - Changes the speed of how the main horde move, changing the gameplay to be drastically different per each Difficulty level

  • Core Gameplay Changes - We started to focus on making the game a Survival rather than just an Arcade, we're excited to show you some of what we're doing with the new Demo Update!

  • GAME SIZE IS NOW UNDER 10GB!!!!!

🔧 General Fixes & Improvements

  • Improved zombie visuals and animations.

  • Better hit detection and smoother aiming.

  • Various bug fixes and small optimizations for performance.
