Normal Unity

Compile + domain reload

~4 minutes · state lost

Hot Patch

Keep playing · state preserved

< 1 second · no domain reload · no restart

Why Hot Patch?

Unity's default workflow interrupts you on every script change. A small fix can cost 30–60 seconds of compile time, and a domain reload wipes the Play Mode state you were debugging.

Without Hot Patch

  • Save → wait for compile → domain reload
  • Lose running game state on every edit
  • Re-test from scratch after each change

With Hot Patch

  • Save → patch applies in milliseconds
  • Keep Play Mode alive while you iterate
  • Re-invoke the changed method and verify instantly

Built for faster iteration

Everything you need to keep Play Mode alive while you fix, tune, and prototype.

Edit any function

If you have the C# code, Hot Patch can patch it instantly. Works with Rider, Visual Studio, VS Code, or any editor that saves files.

Easy setup

Import and run. No project changes, attributes, or build steps required to get started.

Works seamlessly

Changes apply without a domain reload. The game keeps running, static state, timers, and scene objects stay intact.

Fast, even on large projects

Changes apply in milliseconds. Roslyn compiles only what changed, not your entire solution.

Battle-tested

Built by game devs, for game devs — an Editor-first workflow designed for day-to-day Unity iteration.
