[h2]New Sandbox Design[/h2]

We want to start with words of gratefulness to all of you who shares your opinions and ideas with us, creates videos and other content — we watch every one and always listen!

Today's update makes the Sandbox more camfortable for everyone and brings more unique look.

Objects in the first room are located as if you start moving clockwise after arrival on the eleveator.

First of all you get to the office zone with basic interactions, working white board and desctructible objects.

Then you meet the Armory and Reloading switcher. As usual, you need to get closer to make the wall turn around and show all the toys.

Experimental zone will be the next, you'll find there Custom Ammo Workshop and Nailgun prototype.

Next is a large Spawn Zone — it looks like the one that was in the Melee Chamber in older version with Controls Panel on the left of it.

On the right wall we regrouped all the Melee Weapons we have for now and removed the missing ones.

[h2]Brutal Machines Showcase[/h2]
Meet the orchestra of dangerous machines from real life that you can use! We'll add some of them to Arenas during next weeks.

In the future Rougelike you'll find them along your brutal run and will be able to perform special brutal kills.

We'll keep adding new machines to this showcase and hope to get some feedback from you! We plan to change the overall Sandbox design at least once more so your ideas can become reality.

[h3]Meat Hooks[/h3]

So fun when they hanging around! Try to combine with electricity for better effect.

[h3]Drilling Machine[/h3]

The drill goes drrrrrr.

[h3]Stacker[/h3]

Want to share the progress we made with new body physics and hand interactions.
GIFs quality is lowered to fit into Steam website image restrictions.

[h2]New Gun Grab Mechanic[/h2]

You'll be able to hold any weapon for any part, but main gun parts are still interactable and functional too — just like in real life!

And notice the enertion one hand gives to another! New arms are strong!

This opens us new possibilities to add new complex weapons and polish the current ones again. Just look at this odd thingy we turn around and play with — how many cool interactable things we can create!



[h2]Flaweless movements and arms[/h2]


You'll be able do any trick you want without your hands stuck somewhere in a box or table.
All punches and hits are so precise — it feels like you are doing them in real life with your own hands.

We are really proud to say we got very close to AAA quality physics VR top-sellers have.

You can get more info and footage about new hands from the previous Devlog post:
Devlog: Gory Machines & Body Physics



[h2]Climbing[/h2]


This is an experimental feature cause originally Hard Bullet was not supposed for this type of locomotion. We still considering adding this mechanic into Rougelite mode. Whant do you think?

[h2]Brutal Machines this week[/h2]


Had to move Brutal Machines Update to this first week of spring soo we can polish everything, sorry for delay!

This update will bring deadly instruments to Sandbox and some Arenas, also expect greatly updated Sandbox level!

All weapons will be reorganized to improve your experience, new room space, new materials will make it more unique and closer to Hard Bullet graphic style you can see on artworks.

[h2]Torture Machines[/h2]


Machines Update is planned for the end of this month.
We are working on new devices to help you bring more pain and gore to these puppets.

Expect collection of different deadly machines that you can meet in real life in any manufacture — so do not try anything IRL cause, you know, this shit will kill ya.

[h2]New Player Body Physics[/h2]


Body Update is planned for mid-March.
We want to bring polished physics experience to every aspect of Hard Bullet and the way your body and hands react to the world around is one of the primal goals for us.

Just check out how easy it will be to grab those pallets and other thin things after we finish everything:


As you can see, this future setup is nothing like the one we use now — every limb gets weight and strength, every object reacts to your interactions accordingly.

Throwing objects, holding guns and punching enemies is getting to a new realistic and comfort level. New body behaves very natural and much closer to the top VR games on the market.
