Howdy Folks!

Have a downright beastly update for y’all this week. A bit of stuff for everyone. Despite the fact that they need a whole bunch more work on the object-selection front, I’ve put my prototype HL:Alyx style Grabbity-Glove system into the game for you folks to try. NOTE, it is disabled by default. You must open the options panel, go to Control/Input, and enable the Grabbity Physics Grab to give it a shot. Grabbing is done by selecting an object by pointing at it, holding the trigger down, and flicking your wrist back. Lemme know whatcha think so far!

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Have a bit of a belated April Fools goof for ya this week. This was originally planned for the 1st, but I was still a bit wiped out from the HL update, so I decided to chill, slow down, take my time with things for this one. It was worth it though as it afforded the time to put a bit more polish, and love into some of the interactions for what is CLEARLY the most glorious firearm added to H3 thus far. That’s right. Patoot Gun. The original Carb Cannon. Lovingly crafted and hopefully a reminder of the reckless fun of youth for some of you.

- Disclaimer - Please do not try to replicate the functionality of this Potato Cannon in real life, or utilize pressured aerosol cans near sparks or flame of any kind. It is genuinely dangerous. For those of you who want to build a RL potato gun there are significantly safer designs than the one presented here in game. I just chose this one because it was similar to the one I made like 20 years ago oh my god I am so old, i just used ‘20 years ago’ in text form for an update and I feel like I’m going to just wither away into dust now. Pssssssssssssshhhhhhh there Anton goes. Old man dust on the wind.

Anywho. I hope you all enjoy!

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Got something truly zany for y’all this week. Just in time for us all spending WAY too much time in our houses! I give you Welldone Freemeat, a new themed Take & Hold character, along with a whole bucket of new toys to go with it! Be aware that the two weapons added with integrated underbarrels may NOT Vault correctly or at all.

As mentioned, this is a bit of an experiment to see how well Take & Hold works with a more ‘crafted’ equipment progression, and less randomization. I’m super curious to hear what y’all think!

As always, if you run into any bugs (quite possible due to some of the physics-heavy toys added in this update) please post them in the Bug Reports section of our Steam Forum.

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Here we go, the first Meat Fortress focussed update of the year! I know a bunch of you have been waiting (mostly) patiently for this. As mentioned in the devlog, this Spy kid should give you an idea of the sort of thing I want to add eventually to each classes loadout options: Some sort of alt-weapon, a dedicated grenade, and ammo class variations for at least one of their weapons that switches up, or augments their battlefield role.

The longer term goal of doing this is being able to grow the equipment variation enough to make a really compelling Meat Fortress Take & Hold character eventually. So you should expect a drip feed of this new equipment over the coming months :-)

As for the Speedloaders, all of the existing controls/capabilities of magazines that are relevant are now shared by speed loaders. You can dump rounds out, to your other hand, and into a quickbelt slot, as well as loading them manually.

Lastly, I hope you all enjoy playing with the rejuvenated Graviton Beamer. Right now it appears in the Proving Ground, and can spawn in Ricky Dicky Random Take & Hold. I’m going to give it one week of testing in that context, and if everything seems to be behaving as desired, I’ll pop it into the Item Spawner so you can use it in any scene!

Anywho, hope you’re all weathering the current events well. Make sure you keep washing those meaty hands and have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,

Anton
