Howdy All!

We have an exciting new Experimental Build for y'all this week, kicking off another Update Cycle. The focus of this cycle is Magnified Optics, something that's been lacking in h3 for a long time (for a host of reasons). Thanks to a collaborator of ours, Ole, we have some huge improvements.

New Magnified Optics System Features:

• Enables correct magnification and field of view for all scopes; Allows for true 1x scopes
  
• Enables correct reticles with accurate holds and drop compensation
  
• Correct Front Focal Plane (FFP) vs Second Focal Plane (SFP) behavior
  
• Approximately physically accurate exit pupil/"eyebox" behavior and eye relief, with optional settings for easier usage
  
• Allows for 2-eye aiming (ie. ACOG's "Bindon aiming concept" for finding targets at high magnification, or red-dot like behavior with 1x scopes)
  
• Accurate zeroing using real world units, with moving turrets when applicable
  
• Adjustable illumination and reticle color with moving turrets when applicable, swappable reticles
  
• Ability to look through both ends of scopes (though probably not 100% optically correct lol)
  
• Ability to simulate odd scope behaviors to better emulate certain scopes (lens distortion, chromatic aberration, FOV tunneling, exit pupil offset)
  
• Is fully Data driven, deriving behavior from the accurate 3d model of the scope and known specs
  
• Animated physical components on scope models when certain parameters change
  
• Brand new clean interface that's more legible in all environments

We'd love it if those of you into distance shooting could jump over to the Experimental build and give these a shot! They are present in the Item Spawner (but will not appear in Take & Hold), and we're really curious how these work for folks, and what their performance characteristics are compared to the existing scopes.

Hope you have fun playing with them!

Peace,
Anton

Howdy folks!

We're finally back onto the Main Branch again with a full release. This week's devlog covers not just the new toys (PKM!!!!! and AVT-40), but the WONDERFUL H3 community Meetup we did in Vegas last week. Many thanks to all of you who made the trip out. The response exceeded my expectations, especially on such short notice. We'll deffo try to do another of these in the future.

NOTE TO MODDERS: We have removed the 'priormainversion' beta branch and replaced it with explicit beta branch options for Update 110 and 111, if you're still waiting for mods you use to be fully updated.

Anywho, hope y'all enjoy and we'll be back as always next week with the beginning of our next experimental cycle!

Peace,
Anton

Howdy folks!
Have a small system test update for y'all this week. We're trying to make the tactical smoke systems in H3 function more reliably in terms of blocking line of sight, and correctly disabling and impairing sosigs when they're intersected by smoke. Check the devlog for more details on what's being tested. Assuming this isn't a performance disaster, these changes will be rolled out to the remainder of the smoke-emitting objects in game, and an API will be finalized to make it easier for Modders to play with this new functionality :-)

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Peace,
Anton

Howdy Folks!

We've got a first content update for you folks for 2024 this week! Included in this week's alpha build is a suite of Civilian AR-15 rifles in a variety of configurations, from utilitarian to intentionall ridiculous. Coming with these is (finally) support for MLok style rail affixments, which will be back-ported to existing guns in H3 with MLok slots next week. We've got a set of initial attachments of this type, and MLok to Picatinny Adapters that should allow you to make good use of them. We've still got some design work to do to make sure these are all correctly available in Take & Hold, will likely need to generate some new object categories, but most of these will show up in that mode now.

Anywho, that's all for now. Hope you folks enjoy playing with the new kit, as we slowly spool back up to work for the new year. See you all next week!

Cheers,
Anton

Greetings!

It is officially MEATMAS DAY, which means we've pushed a little holiday update for you folks, as is tradition for H3. If you'd like to jump in and open ALL YOUR PRESENTS, just make sure the game is up to date (this might require you restart Steam), and jump into the Meatmas SnowGlobe.

You'll know you're actually running that latest update because the Snowglobe scene tile will be at the top center and there'll be 'MERRY MEATMAS' text above it. If you DON'T see that, close the game, restart steam, and failing that, right click the game in steam, go to properties, local files, and click Verify Game Cache. That SHOULD kick it in the butt and make sure it downloads for you.

There's no changelog for this update as well.. it would be silly to spoil the surprises with that.

PLEASE NOTE, that you should NOT talk about the contents of the gifts in the comments of this post, and if you need to report a bug please, or want to chat about them, do NOT name any items in the Post title. Instead type "Bug with item, or "OMG I love and detail things inside the post. Any offending comments or posts that fail to follow these guidelines will be deleted. This spoiler policy is in place until the end of the month. Let's try to give folks time to log in and be surprised :-)

ANYWHO, enough rambling. GO ENJOY THE NEW TOYS.

From all of here as RUST LTD., have a Merry Meatmas, and a Healthy and Happy Holidays.

Peace,
Anton

Greetings!

Have a quick update for y'all this week. Mostly fixes and tweaks for the Institution level, but also a long awaited replacement toy. Check out the devlog for more info.

Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

The time has come, after a long(er than we anticipated) wait, the latest HUGE update for H3VR is complete.

The Institution Update expands and refines H3VR’s tactical roguelite game mode, Take & Hold, with new enemies and hazards, a new Tournament-focused character, and its most challenging level yet: Institution. Institution is about realizing what I’d always imagined back when first making Take & Hold. It’s everything I find most compelling about a virtual space. Grand in scale. Simultaneously oppressive and alienating but also somehow cozy? All-consuming. Self-awarely synthetic but hyper-tangible. The environment itself is my main character.

This update also includes our latest Take & Hold character: Tournament Toby. Build with feedback from our Competitive Scene, it's Take & Hold at its most merciless.

The mode itself has gotten a number of major refinements, from rebuilt Equipment stations, powerups that behave better physics-wise, tuning to patrols, a rebuilt scoring rubric that more richly reflects ways one can play excellently, and just a top to bottom coat of polish on things.

With a level this big, I'm sure that there'll be a significant post-release tuning phase, as we fix various things, tweak progressions, difficulty, cover volume, and add further quality of life changes. We look forward to tweaking things over the coming weeks with you all!

Well enough rambling for now. Get in their and play! We'll see you all soon.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend.
-Anton

Howdy folks!

Have an incremental Experimental Build for you folks this week. It's a little light because... well we've already done 3 other hotfix builds during the week, as we're trying to iterate on the competitive character as fast as possible.

Anywho, deets on the update and what we're up to in the devlog. (Does anyone actually read this summaries? I never actually know).

Have a wonderful weekend!
