Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades News

Howdy Folks!

Got an extra-sized Devlog for you folks this week. Plenty to cover. How BOUT them classic prototype shotguns eh? It sure does seem like there was a period where everyone assumed what militaries REALLY needed was absurdly sized high capacity shotguns. I know I used to think they were the coolest thing ever after playing Fallout 2 as a kid (rocked across the wasteland with my CAWS). It seems though that common sense prevailed from multiple vectors, and such ridiculous devices are left to history (and VR hot dog gun sims), so it is a joy to be able to play with a bunch of shotguns-that-never-were.

As for Meat Fortress stuff, we are slowly making our way through all of the class’s kit, giving them alt weapons, new ammo and a grenade each. Once we’ve gotten through them all later this year, we’ve got some fun stuff planned that I think you folks will enjoy, including a specially designed Take & Hold character progression.

Lastly, I know there’s going to be a ton of questions regarding the Gameplanner system I talked about in the Devlog. I’ll be here for a few hours tonight on the subreddit to answer em. Do note though that a whoooole lot of that system is going to be a ‘design as we go’ sort of affair, where based on how various tools and nodes and objects are to use, we’ll follow what’s working. Still tons up in the air, but as always we plan to be super open about our design process with it, as well as listening for what seems the most exciting to you folks.

Hope you all have a pleasant Weekend!

Peace,
Anton

Howdy Folks!

*Slides into home plate exhausted* We did it!

Finally off the Alpha Branch with a full release for you folks. That one took a while longer than originally planned, but as often happens with my plans, I get inspired part of the way through feature development by another feature, and suddenly there’s twice as many things to iterate on and test, and ooh that’s a shiny gun lets put that in too, and 10 weeks have passed and oh goodness we really need to wrap this all up.

Amusingly, I actually -did- have a time pressure to get this back onto main branch as next week is the 4th of July! Which of course means H3 has to have some over the top ‘Murican goodies to play with. So I needed to be back on the Main Branch with the game’s development by then.

As for the features in this update, I know a few things still need some filling out and tweaking. More Paper Target options are still coming. I still need to recode the Grabbity-Grab item selection. Both those are things that don’t require an Alpha branch, so yeah. :-)

Anywhooooo I hope y’all enjoy playing with all the new Shotguns and assorted other toys. The change-log below is -just- for the final build push. I’ve found that collating all the changelogs from the various Alphas just ends up being confusing as it simultaneously references fixes to things added in other parts of the log. So if you want/need to see any of the past changes during the cycle, check out the announcements here on the Steam Forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/450540/eventcomments/

Have a Wonderful weekend!

Peace,
Anton
