[h2]Physics and Bodies[/h2]

Reworked hand physics from the ground! Now you can grab everything in game and even use objects to fight enemies.

And yes, you can grab the enemies too!

This large update comes with enother improvenemt — complex dismemberment system for the enemies bodies and visible damage. Also, they recieve damage and spoil blood when you hit them.

Today we are adding this only for Closed Beta and plan to add new physics for regular Steam Demo during next week.

These large improvements took some time and sets a foundation for future inprovenemts. Now we can start adding all the awesome things we were working on during this large rework!

In the future updates, expect to see big improvements in AI, meele weapons and some cool gory things that we don't want to spoil yet.

Join our Discord to get into Closed Beta and check our experimental updates first!


[h2]Hands Physics:[/h2]

[h2]Level Design[/h2]
As we are working ono levels for the main game, we still a looking for the best solution for Demo scene level.
Now we reworked it again to reach more FPS.


::::DISCORD::::TWITTER::::STEAM::::

This is the first Closed Beta update. We plan to make minor and big updates and add some experimental features during the development.

Please, joint our Discord to get the access!


[h2]Ultra-Heavy Soldier[/h2]


A tough guy with a heavy gun.
Has a lot oh HP and thick armor. You cannot hit or move him.
However, no custom animations for now and the model do not show the damage yet.

[h2]Baton Fighters[/h2]


Actually there is no special model cause every regular enemy can now attack with a baton or gun.
If an enemy looses his gun, he takes out his baton and hits pretty well with it. No, you can't take it yet.

[h2]AI Improvements[/h2]

• Enemies try to hit you if you get too close.
  
• Now enemies have a near death state when they panic and run into cover. Not included into beta yet.
  

Added dismemberment.
We have big plans on adding procedural damage for all flesh and a possibility to destroy the body completely.
We will return to this very important tasks a little later, after some groundbraking updates for puppets are made.

[h2]Guns[/h2]
[h3]New gun parameters[/h3]
Reworked the damage system and changed the core parameters for all guns.
Please, leave your feedback about the new magazines and shooting speed of some models.

[h3]Enemies' guns[/h3]
Now all the enemies have the same gun that you have. You can shoot them off their hands and take them for yourself.

[h3]Test Guns[/h3]
There are a few cool-looking gold guns. They do lots of damage and shoot off limbs immediately. Just for fun.

[h2]New Music[/h2]

Added 10 new music tracks as a temporary playlist.
As usual, we work hard on game soundtrack and all the sounds, we hope to make some major sound updates during this month.

[h2]Perfomance in Closed Beta[/h2]
All these awesome features hit the perfomance so we decided to remove some objects and furniture from the scene.

Will return it after we finish all the update that involve perfomance.

[h2]Back to Beta[/h2]

Yep, TWO DAYS LEFT before we close the Demo and return to Closed Beta state.

This means only those who join our Discord server (or were part of the Alpha) will be able to check out all those awesome features we gonna test!

So if you want to help Hard Bullet or just want to have more free fun, go join our server and wait for an update!

The Giveaway Bot will go live very soon, before we remove the Demo from Steam (and your Library if you were not part of the Alpha Test).

So don't waste time and go check out all those awesome updates we made through the last Festival week. We know you like to read!
