Fast and Low News

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm posting a patch that provides a small update to the FPS player animations, and also fixes on some small issues I've encountered in my test-runs. Game version is now 1.99F.

Update notes
- added sprinting animations for the FPS players world model. Now in multiplayer, you can tell when an FPS player is sprinting!
- added some additional variation to AI responses to danger. Their stats, which are generated randomly at the start of each level, will determine whether or not they will immediately spring into hostile mode)
- adjusted the size of some over-sized furniture in Map 5

What's next
I'm currently working on my 3rd bonus mission. This will be released in conjunction with the Final Release of Fast and Low! Here's a sneak peek of what I've got cookin' so far.





This is a desert themed level, that consists of 3 separate buildings that players will have to fight their way through.

I've spent nearly 4 years working diligently on Fast and Low. Putting Fast and Low in Final Release status will allow me to create a bit of separation between myself and this project... And it will allow me more time to start dabbling on my next new idea!

However, even when Fast and Low finally goes into full release status, I still fully plan on supporting the game when it comes to fixing bugs, adding small features (as I improve overall as a game developer), and of course adding new Bonus missions every now and then! Fast and Low is my passion project after all!

As always, thanks to everyone for your feedback and support so far! Let me know in the comments or in the discord if y'all run into any problems!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post a small patch that improves on the Desktop Player side of the game and also little things i noticed in my testing. The game version is now 1.99D!

FPS Changes
- added new animations for guns when the player is sprinting forward
- fixed issue with FPS players getting snagged in corpses
(I FINALLY FOUND THE REASON!)

Misc Fixes
- adjusted the brightness levels of some of the rooms in Map 1
- changed the brightness and flooring for Map 2 (convenience store level)
- gave some of the "16th Street Hustler" shirtless models black hoodies
there wasn't enough model variation
- updated the tattoo textures for the "16th Street Hustler" models
- adjusted the pathing and coverpoints in Penthouse level (Map 13)
- adjusted the enemy aggression in the Penthouse level (Map 13)
with recent changes to AI, it was causing the whole level to get aggroed, which not only made it really hard, but also increased potential to cause crashes
- updated the level pictures (in the mission select screens)
- previous patches "audio adjustments" were reverted
it made the character audios too quiet and required players to be too close in order to hear anything

As always...thank you everyone for your support and feedback! Feel free to reach out to me on Discord or in the comments if you find any issues!
