Hey, folks! This post also appears in the 30XX feed. If you've seen it there, disregard!

We're happy to get to announce that 30XX will have a playable demo during this year's Steam Summer Festival! You'll be able to get a taste of where the game's headed well before we get there.



We intend to treat the festival week a bit like "Early Access Week Zero" for 30XX - we'll be listening to your feedback, chatting with you about the game (on Discord and on our Steam Community), and iterating as we go! The demo features two of the game's level themes (of 10!), and a light look at our overhauled roguelike progression system. Hope you're ready! The demo will go away when the festival ends (June 14th). We'll be doing some more public streaming/community chats/etc around that time, too! Stay tuned.

--

If you can't wait for the 9th to dig in with the 30XX community, we're also starting up a series of 30XX Town Hall chats on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/batterystaplegames). The next one is this coming Friday, May 29th, at 4PM PT. We'll be digging into Ace's new systems, talking about the upcoming Steam Festival, and more! (We might also share some new level stuff.. if it's ready in time. We'll see!)

Hope you can join us - thanks for reading! Stay safe, contractors.

Hello Everyone!


What decisions you make or what you do during the beginning of the game will determine how David's story ends.

Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. Everytime you make a decision you may wonder if you're doing the right thing or if your actions have any influence. You may think that being
kidnapped by a psycho is a lost cause - your survival depends on him. But the reality is that you create your own fate and your decisions affect the gameplay.

I have prepared the game in such a way that once you fulfill certain conditions, you can open various endings with your choices. But remember, they won’t be obvious. Each of the ending covers a different secret about the whole story. Which version will be happy medium? Maybe this all event could've been avoided? Did you help David? Are you happy with your choices?

I leave you with these questions,
see for yourself....

More of dark secrets will be revealed soon...

A bunch of bugfixes! PBS materials not casting shadows should be fixed, fixed performance regression due to OVRLipSync and Steamworks integration should finally work both on Windows and Linux. Sorry there's not more, I'm feeling a bit brain dead and trying to focus on the new facets and blocking feature ^^;

- Added GetUserAnchor and IsUserAnchored nodes (requested by @ProbablePrime)

- Draggables (Joint, Slider) now send grab events to the components on the same slot
-- This fixes Sliders and such now working with GrabbableAvatarPoseFilter (reported by @H3BO3)
- Downgraded to OVRLipSync 1.43 due to performance problems with the new version (reported by @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)

- Fixed Linux builds (both client and headless) using Windows version of the Steamworks.NET wrapper
- Fixed Linux build of headless including wrong name of the native Steam API library (reported by @Enverex)
- Fixed missing shadows on most of the PBS metarials (reported by @H3BO3, @LucasRo7, @GearBell and investigated by @Shifty | Quality Control Lead )
- Wrapped async delays to properly restore synchronization context and updatable context on continuation
-- This fixes flood of exceptions from DelayImpulse node after the node has been destroyed (found in a log from @Hayden (PolyLogiX - ZyroDesign))
- Added filtering of invalid/out-of-range values coming from the tracking system, potentially corrupting the user proxy and causing the user to get respanwed
-- This can potentially fix the userspace avatar proxy being respawned as reported by @FuzzyFoxe
- The userspace proxy avatar won't get respawned anymore because of exceptions (based on issue by @FuzzyFoxe)
- Added a mechanism to notify materials of video texture change in cases where the texture is updated by the video playback engine (this is done to potentially fix an issue reported by @H3BO3 where the textures break sometimes)
- Added a guard against enormous or invalid sphere check values when releasing objects
- Added maximum size clamp for collider dimensions (1e6 currently) to prevent enormous colliders from corrupting the calculations in the physics engine and causing world crashes or random user despawns (reported by @Turk and investigated by @Shifty | Quality Control Lead)

Howdy fellow gunslingers!

I could have sworn I heard you moaning in the deserts of the canyon: “The companions are not doing what I want them to do!”. Well, they sure are not the brightest, and sometimes you gotta tell them what to do, but at least they don't waste any of your ammo. However, I understand your concern and that's why Colt Canyon features a cooperative game mode in addition to the single-player mode! So, if you do not feel like fighting your way through the canyon alone or with companions that don't match your skill, grab a friend, double the firepower, and double the fun!

Activate the second (or exclusively on PC the experimental third or even fourth) player on the character screen and choose your weapon of choice. Afterward you start the run just like in the single-player mode: Make your way from left to right and back again. The difference is that an additional player-controlled gunslinger helps you out on your mission to save your partner, both shown on one single screen. Do not stray too far from each other tho - it could be fatal!

Away from it all you get the proven Colt Canyon experience: Nine stages, three bosses, dangerous wild animals and traps, and more weapons than you can carry. Ah, of course the opponents noticed you getting support! Two gunslingers are much more effective than one alone after all, so the difficulty level scales up a bit with a second human player. You don't want it to become boring, right?



Team play is of course required! It is essential for survival to give each other fire protection, to heal each other in case of emergency, and to share weapons and ammunition. Another interesting aspect of the cooperative game mode is tactics. For example, when you play together with a friend, the bosses can be defeated using completely different team play tactics. But it is best to try it yourself!

There are two ways to enjoy Colt Canyon together: Play in front of one machine (Player 1 with mouse and keyboard, player 2 with a controller, or both with controller (recommended)) or - if you want to keep a safe distance from another with Steam Remote Play Together. Nowadays I recommend the second one because of course keeping a safe distance will save people not only inn the game but also in real life!

Oh, one more thing - in case you have not seen it in the video yet: Colt Canyon will be released very soon! Stay tuned for more details on that in upcoming updates!

All the best and stay healthy!
Jonathan
