Howdy Folks!

Got another Alpha for y’all, this time messing around with some Locomotion changes I’ve been wanting to get to for a while now. Collision handling in H3 for movement has always had… a few quirks lets just say. Getting stuck in walls, poor handling of steep inclines, loss of velocity on certain collisions, weird ceiling edge-cases. I’m hoping to address as many of these as possible while keeping the locomotion behavior as identical as possible in core play contexts.

The first experiment in this direction is this week’s Alpha, where I have swapped in new experimental collision handling. NOTE, there are some known problems with it. It does _not_ handle stairs well. But it is far enough along that I could use some feedback on it, specifically if it handles situations where folks could end up glitch-falling out of levels better than the current system.

Beyond that, for Armswinger users I am SUPER curious what you all think about the new Intertial Jump and Base Speed systems (detailed in the devlog video).

Remember, if you want to play this alpha, right click the game in steam, go to properties, betas, click the dropdown, and select ‘alpha 1’.

Thanks as always to everyone willing to dive into our Alphas and try stuff that’s super rough around the edges. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
Anton

Meatmas Day.

We've got an extra special set of gifts for you folks this year.

So when you get a chance, tear yourself away from family and merriment today, and jump into the Meatmas Snowglobe scene and tear open those boxes!

(We ask that you be polite and make sure to put prominent spoiler warnings in any post title if you want to talk about the gifts on the Steam Forum here. It's important to let everyone get a chance to be surprised equally :-) )

All of us here at RUST LTD. wish y'all a Meeeeeeeeerry Meatmas and a happy and safe holidays.

Cheers,
Anton

We’ve now come to the last of our themed Meatmas Month updates, which is a long awaited content and system drop for the Meat Fortress mode and its related objects. I do hope you folks enjoy finding all sort of ridiculous ways to mess around with what is the first player-deployable automated weapon system in the game!

I should note that the exact balance and functionality of the Dispenser is still very much a work in progress, and when Teleporters are added sometime next year, will likely get a bit of an overhaul to better accomodate more options/actions.

Anywho, going to race back to work now, as we’ve got a bunch of finishing touches to put on Meatmas Day gifts for y’all. Make sure to stop into the Meatmas Snowglobe on the 25th to open your presents!!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
All Of Us At RUST LTD.
