H3VR Early Access Update 90 Is Complete! New Guns, Features & Fixes

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
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

Update 90 Alpha 3 is Now Live On The Alpha Branch!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Howdy Folks!

BETCHA WEREN’T EXPECTING THIS ONE EH? :-P In all seriousness, the original plan had not been to work on bipods this week, but a random discussion in our discord provoked some inspiration, which led to a breakthrough, and one totally-recoded system later, we have not just vastly improved Bipods, but attachable ones as well!

Please note that while I’ve tested all of the weapons with integrated bipods, and everything works as expected with the new systems, I have not done so with the new attachables (as well there are like 200+ guns one could theoretically mount one on), so there might be a few unforeseen issues, or kinks that need ironing out.

As always, if you run into any issues, report them in the bug reports section of our Steam Community forum.

Can’t wait to see what new bizarre creations you folks come up with!

Peace,
Anton
