Steel Crew News

Hi! I have added a new option (defaulted to on) that changes how you aim using motion controllers. The pivot of the cranks will now adapt when your hand goes outside of the crank radius.
This should make it a lot easier to aim when not looking at your hands. If you prefer the old way you can disable “Adaptive cranks” in settings.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi. You no longer need to look at the steam page for controls. You can now take a look at them before you start playing.

I am working on getting the VOPI fixed and I have added some extra debug information for that.
It is a slow process but I have some leads to what the issue is.

Cheers!

[h2]A day I have been looking forward to for a long time if finally here![/h2]

This is just the start and all feedback is more than welcome on the Discord or on the steam forum. https://discord.com/invite/x7KbXEp

My focus for the game will be first of all to sort out bugs and finish up the map. Another map is already in the works and hopefully it should not be too long until you can play it.

I also want to thank all of you who took part in the playtests! It has been super helpful and the game would be in a worse state if it wasn't for you.

[h2]About the playtest[/h2]
In preparation for moving the game into early access we will have a small test to see if the VOIP and connection issues have been resolved.

[h2]When?[/h2]
This test will be a bit shorter than the last one and will run between the 17th and 19th of September

I got a lot of feedback on the last one and there has been some big changes in the code to make the aiming more responsive. There have also been some quality-of-life improvements but not a lot when it comes to the gameplay and graphics.


The test will run from the 16th to the 18th of July and you can sign up on the store page by clicking the "Request Access" button.
If you got access to the last one you will have it this one too. I hope to let everyone in just like last time.
