Howdy Folks!

Have a downright beastly update for y’all this week. A bit of stuff for everyone. Despite the fact that they need a whole bunch more work on the object-selection front, I’ve put my prototype HL:Alyx style Grabbity-Glove system into the game for you folks to try. NOTE, it is disabled by default. You must open the options panel, go to Control/Input, and enable the Grabbity Physics Grab to give it a shot. Grabbing is done by selecting an object by pointing at it, holding the trigger down, and flicking your wrist back. Lemme know whatcha think so far!

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Have a bit of a belated April Fools goof for ya this week. This was originally planned for the 1st, but I was still a bit wiped out from the HL update, so I decided to chill, slow down, take my time with things for this one. It was worth it though as it afforded the time to put a bit more polish, and love into some of the interactions for what is CLEARLY the most glorious firearm added to H3 thus far. That’s right. Patoot Gun. The original Carb Cannon. Lovingly crafted and hopefully a reminder of the reckless fun of youth for some of you.

- Disclaimer - Please do not try to replicate the functionality of this Potato Cannon in real life, or utilize pressured aerosol cans near sparks or flame of any kind. It is genuinely dangerous. For those of you who want to build a RL potato gun there are significantly safer designs than the one presented here in game. I just chose this one because it was similar to the one I made like 20 years ago oh my god I am so old, i just used ‘20 years ago’ in text form for an update and I feel like I’m going to just wither away into dust now. Pssssssssssssshhhhhhh there Anton goes. Old man dust on the wind.

Anywho. I hope you all enjoy!

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Got something truly zany for y’all this week. Just in time for us all spending WAY too much time in our houses! I give you Welldone Freemeat, a new themed Take & Hold character, along with a whole bucket of new toys to go with it! Be aware that the two weapons added with integrated underbarrels may NOT Vault correctly or at all.

As mentioned, this is a bit of an experiment to see how well Take & Hold works with a more ‘crafted’ equipment progression, and less randomization. I’m super curious to hear what y’all think!

As always, if you run into any bugs (quite possible due to some of the physics-heavy toys added in this update) please post them in the Bug Reports section of our Steam Forum.

Be Well and Stay Healthy!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

Here we go, the first Meat Fortress focussed update of the year! I know a bunch of you have been waiting (mostly) patiently for this. As mentioned in the devlog, this Spy kid should give you an idea of the sort of thing I want to add eventually to each classes loadout options: Some sort of alt-weapon, a dedicated grenade, and ammo class variations for at least one of their weapons that switches up, or augments their battlefield role.

The longer term goal of doing this is being able to grow the equipment variation enough to make a really compelling Meat Fortress Take & Hold character eventually. So you should expect a drip feed of this new equipment over the coming months :-)

As for the Speedloaders, all of the existing controls/capabilities of magazines that are relevant are now shared by speed loaders. You can dump rounds out, to your other hand, and into a quickbelt slot, as well as loading them manually.

Lastly, I hope you all enjoy playing with the rejuvenated Graviton Beamer. Right now it appears in the Proving Ground, and can spawn in Ricky Dicky Random Take & Hold. I’m going to give it one week of testing in that context, and if everything seems to be behaving as desired, I’ll pop it into the Item Spawner so you can use it in any scene!

Anywho, hope you’re all weathering the current events well. Make sure you keep washing those meaty hands and have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

YAY WE DID IT! Update 85 is complete. Whew……. This took… a bit longer than was originally planned. Granted, part of that has been due to battling illness for over a month now, but even given that, the Take & Hold and Locomotion upgrades were a touch more involved than I anticipated.

Totally worth it though! As the locomotion system can now handle significantly more complex and uneven terrain, which will be necessary for the eventual 2nd level for Take & Hold (which will be outdoor, and have the most complex topologies of any space in the game).

As for Take & Hold, the mode is now in the place I want it overall, and the range of difficulty, challenge and armament is finally shaping up to really reflect what’s unique and special about having a vast firearm library stretching 150+ years of history. If you haven’t dove in yet to try the new ‘Wieners Through Time’ characters, I strongly recommend it!

As mentioned in the devlog, I’ll be taking a much needed bit of a break after this update. So no Devlog next week. But I’ll be back on the 13th with what I’m sure will be a bunch of much needed bug fixes, and the beginnings of the next focus up for the game!

I wish y’all the best. Have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,

Anton

Howdy Folks!

So the Unity Engine has made a liar out of me, and it seems another week of Alpha-ing was needed. I got a bit buried the past couple days fighting with a set of bot pathing issues that revealed some major bugs (or at least undocumented suboptimal behavior) in the Unity navmesh system that I ended up having to engineer around. For any of you who are devs, be aware that navmesh carving can break otherwise valid offmeshlinks if their endpoints are floated off the mesh! (and discovering that chesnut only wasted two frustrating days of my life).

ANYWHO, moving along, the other big thing this week is that all of the rework, fixing, tweaking and optimization that’s been done to the movement and collision handling for Armswinger the past month or so has now been migrated over to the Touchpad / Joystick / Twinstick movement modes. Please let me know if anything glitches out on you, but they’ve been fairly robustly tested, and I’m hoping they’re stable enough that I can wrap this update up FINALLY.

Lastly, the completion of this update will return Global scoreboards to Take & Hold next week, along with something… extra special to celebrate the end of this looooong alpha cycle. I hope y’all are ready for something weapons-grade stupid :-P.

Hope y’all have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
Anton

Howdy Folks!

Ok, I super duper promise that this is MOST LIKELY the last Alpha in this cycle. Ran in a bunch of weird corner cases related to high slops and sliding this week when working on the new Player Collision Handling. I am almost certain that it’s where it needs to be finally. HUGE thank you to JediTobiwan for testing things aggresively for me.

Once this cycle is over, we’ll likely be switching back to less extensive changes in updates for a while (thank goodness). I have some plans for various small things I’d like to tidy up. Some Quality of Life changes. Some interfaces to improve (like the ammo spawner).

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

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!
