Hunting Anubis Devlog

Development updates, beta release notes, and behind‑the‑scenes progress on the tactical aerial combat flight simulator.

January

Beta v39

  • New Interceptor Class — low armor, high maneuverability and speed
  • More intelligent AI behavior
  • Major performance improvements
  • New weapons: Heavy Missile Launcher, Light Missile Launcher, and Laser Assault System

The devlog for Hunting Anubis traces a long arc from early prototype sketches to the polished tactical aerial combat experience available today. What began as a procedural experiment in flight physics and fragment-based terrain generation slowly grew into something far more ambitious — an interactive fiction where the player's choices echo through every engagement. The team has documented each iteration with unusual honesty, sharing not only the triumphant milestones but also the painful setbacks, the winter nights spent debugging radar systems, and the quiet moments when a new mechanic finally clicked into place. Reading through the archive, one senses the same patient, almost ritualistic craft that defines the game's world-building.

Development updates arrive with a steady rhythm, each one peeling back another layer of the design process. Early builds focused on the raw sensation of flight — the weight of the aircraft, the strain of the controls, the way the desert city below unfolded like a living map. Later entries shift toward the narrative spine, exploring how memory and truth intertwine across the game's branching paths. The team speaks openly about the tension between simulation and story, between the cold precision of ballistics and the fragile, human moments that give the combat meaning. It is a rare behind-the-scenes look at how a world is assembled, fragment by fragment.

Beta releases have evolved through careful listening, with player feedback shaping everything from weapon balance to visual clarity. The closed beta period proved particularly valuable, as testers pushed the flight model to its limits and surfaced issues the development team had grown too close to see. Monthly builds became a conversation — each patch a response to the community's observations, each update a step toward the shared vision of what the game could become. The devlog also hints at what lies ahead, with procedural generation tools promising new frontiers for exploration. For those following the project, the journey has been as compelling as the destination itself.

Earlier Build

Beta v37

  • New map added

Monthly beta builds were planned during the closed Beta period, with each release bringing new aircraft classes, weapon systems, map expansions, and performance refinements. The devlog tracked incremental progress toward the full release, which was originally scheduled for Q2 2015.

Hunting Anubis is a single‑ and multiplayer combat flight simulator focused on near‑future drone warfare, where pilots engage fully autonomous or remotely manned adversaries in tactical dogfights.
