v.0.93.0 Game Experience Update

Dear operators,

The Game Experience Update is finally released! As one of the most essential updates recently, it adds a variety of new features to the game itself and a more versatile modkit that would allow modders to create custom game modes and loadouts. We are excited to see the core infrastructure of our modkit has been completed and eager to witness how it will be utilized by our talented modders!

In order to showcase the features, provide a reference for modders, and dedicate new content for our positive players, we’ve created an official mod map ’Space Rumble'. Have fun interacting, climbing, and fighting for the golden crown in Space Rumble.

What’s more, physics-based collisions have been implemented for all weapons, creating a truly immersive VR gaming experience. Grab your weapon and join the fierce battle now.

[h3]Contractors:[/h3]

Improved physics-based melee and weapon handling

Players were able to get their hands, melee weapons, and guns into the wall, which may have broken the immersion. Now that the game physics has been enhanced, guns will collide with objects and surfaces, and melee weapons will bounce back if hit hard.

Improved physics of throwable

Throwables used to be shabby and barely rolled when they hit the ground, now the animations have been overhauled with better physics, making them more like real-life collisions. Don’t forget to try out the throwing knife, and see how the knife revolves in the air now.

Improved hand model and animation

The character hand model and animation has been improved! Reloading weapons are also more flexible and not limited to only one gesture.

Boosted game pace

Eliminate an enemy with a lower TTK now! Damage resistance of all types of armor has been reduced by 20%, this would definitely boost the game pace and tighten up the nerve in battle.

Essentially optimized lag compensation

It was really frustrating when players wanna perform a tactical reload quickly during the combat but find it really hard to do so due to the laggy network. The lag compensation net code has been improved, making reloading much smoother.
