The biggest update yet coming in 2025
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]We have been working hard on the biggest rework and update for New Heights to date. The update will land near the end of 2025, though a beta version will be accessible in September. [/p][p][/p][h2]Rope physics belaying system[/h2][p]It replaces the respawning system with a full rope physics based belaying system! Including a (limited) rapelling mode. [/p][p][/p][h2]Climbing system rework[/h2][p]The climbing system is being reworked to be much more consistent, flexible, realistic, performant and user friendly. [/p][p][/p][h3]Super high fidelity locations rework[/h3][p]Existing locations are being reworked in much higher detail. Most notable Al Lègne and the castle Crèvecoeur have been upgraded significantly. Routes have also been reworked, and a few 'mega-routes' have been added.[/p][p][/p][h3]Textureless surface scan mode[/h3][p]As requested by some members of our community, a 'Textureless surface scan' mode is added to the game. In some places, this makes it easier for you to see the exact surface without being distracted by non-existing features the texture. [/p][p][/p][h3]First person bonus mode[/h3][p]A funny / bonus First Person View mode is also being developed! Don't expect a perfect experience, but it's nice for a change of view. And a challenge :p [/p][p][/p][h3]More customization[/h3][p]Many more customization options are being added as well. And more.
