It's that time of year again!

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

Howdy Folks!



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.

Another Meatmas week, another fun theme! This week we’re delving into noise. Suppressing it, and making a ton of it.

The big new toy this week is a Mk22 Mod 0 Hushpuppy. With the slide locked it’s now among the quietest pistols in the game, and a precision tool for the sneakiest of you.

For a little background on the more goofball aspects of today update; I’ve been slowly collecting a number of novelty attachments that our friend Stefan had made, and as this Meatmas season approached, decided to commision a few more to round out a theme of cool new Suppressors… and some noisy-making toys. I know many of them aren’t the most practical things on the planet, but figured those of you who stream, make goofy vids, or just enjoy abrasive noises like me would enjoy them.

As for continued work on the Flintlock systems, I think I’ve gather enough data from folks playing with them to know what’s working, and what’s not. I know the ramrod is in serious need of improvement, so that will happen. In addition, now that I know my ontology for the whole system is solid, I’m going to start generalizing a few of the systems, so that they interface with existing game systems a bit better (like having the paper cartridges spawn in circumstances a brass cartridge would, etc.) This is also to prepare for the eventuality of other weapons in the scheme.

Have a wonderful weekend!

All Of Us At RUST LTD.

Howdy Folks!



It is finally time. That’s right, we finally completed something some of you folks have been asking for for absolute ages. That’s right, a Muzzle-Loading Flintlock, in all of its messy glory.

This has been an absolute treat to implement, as it’s been far too long since I’ve had the time to just focus on a single simulation challenge, and just following it where it took me, landing at each interaction and fork-point in the state space and asking what sorts of interesting results could be added, and what other objects it could interface with.

Some of you might be asking ‘what about a rifle?’ Well I am restricting this type to a single firearm to begin with, so it’s easier to work out all of the (inevitable) bugs with this large of a state-space. Once I’m confident that it’s rock solid, I will add a few more to the category (including a few absolutely wacky ones I’ve had my eye on for a while). I’d also love to get some related muzzle-loaders in, such as a Wheel-lock. Thankfully, the systems for this Flintlock have been written extensibly enough to support such things.

Also I’d like to put a HUGE shout-out thank you to Patrick Sutton and Joe Kataldo for doing the meticulous foley work for this. The Flintlock also has the most unique sounds for any firearm in the game (by far), and I had to keep adding more and more for it as new sub-states arose in the design. The nuance present in it truly was a team effort.

Anywho, I hope y’all enjoy the result of our efforts. Try not to blow too many of them up!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
All Of Us At RUST LTD.

Howdy Folks!

Hope you're all doing well! We're still recovering from the last month or so, but managed to push through the post-release exhaustion to get a few more QoL improvements and bug fixes into the mode while we still had a bit of residual momentum to burn.

I also managed to get the unlock rewards into the mode (all 9 of the mode-specific weapons can now be unlocked in various ways). Everyone gets the Item Spawner now in Arcade mode though, as I know many of you are looking for a more free-form or relaxing experience, or have accessibility needs, so I think it just feels right to offer that option out of the gate.

Anywho, I'm off to button up this build, make sure everything is set. It will ready as usual, at 7pm PST. Have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,
Anton
