NEW PLAYABLE BUILD AVAILABLE – ALPHA 0.3.1

Hey Patrons!!!

Big milestone for HIVE CITY HEAT today: the brand-new ALPHA BUILD VERSION 0.3.1 is now available for Android and PC—and for the first time ever, you can play through the entire first level from start to boss fight with fully implemented cutscenes.

Yes.
Actual story moments.
Actual cinematic transitions.
No longer just “walk right until something horrible happens.”

This update took a ton of work—tuning combat timing, adjusting enemy placement, polishing animations, rebuilding backgrounds, re-lighting scenes, and making the neon glow in exactly the right amount of irresponsible excess. It’s honestly the version where the game finally clicked for me and felt like a real project instead of a prototype.

Level One throws you straight into the hive’s most infamous zone: the red-light district, where the undercity’s sketchiest alleyways bleed into smoke-filled streets and underground nightclubs. It’s loud, crowded, seductive, dangerous—and obviously the perfect hiding place for a cult infestation.

You’ll punch your way through waves of cultists, mutated partygoers, bouncers who signed up for a quiet night shift and immediately regretted it, and descend beneath the clubs into places that should absolutely not exist… where the first boss has been waiting very patiently for you to kick the door in.

This alpha includes the full structure of the opening stage as it’s meant to be played, complete with the newly added cutscenes that help set the mood, introduce threats, and make the whole experience feel a lot more cinematic. It’s the most complete slice of HIVE CITY HEAT so far—and the version that made me sit back and go, “Okay… yeah. Now we’re cooking.”

And seriously—thank you.

Your support is the reason I can keep pushing this project forward, adding story beats, bigger fights, nastier monsters, and clubs with an alarming number of neon signs. Every download, every comment, every bug report, every wild reaction you send my way directly helps shape what comes next.

Please grab ALPHA 0.3.1

Give it a run, and tell me what you think—how the combat feels, whether anything explodes that shouldn’t, what made you laugh, and what made you panic-roll into a cultist with claws.

These are what's included in the build:

• Intro Cutscenes (Crawling text)

• Speed adjustment for Heidi (she is now 20% faster)

• Difficulty scale for the Brood brothers, they have more health and more speed

• Flying speed adjustment (the fly to the walls faster when you kick them)

• Boss Cutscene (NSFW)

• Lewd NPC

• Boss for level 1 with lewd action
