What helps sportsman in hard competition? Of course, this is spectator's support. That is why there are sports fans in our game.
Some statistic. There are more than 100 spectators in one location. Each of them greets joyfully players and watches the race with interest. We used 10 animations for sports fan movement.
Did you feel the support of our animated spectators during the race?
New training mode is already in the game!
Our team decided that the latest version of the game tutorial was not understandable. It became the reason to revise the training mode in the game and develop a new game tutorial. Now training before the race with players passes on a special track. We added new tooltips and tried to make a game tutorial as clear as possible.
In addition to introducing a new training mode, we made the main menu navigation easier. We hope you enjoy the updates in the game. We are waiting for your comments and feedback.
Adding new VR-headset!
Maybe you have VR-headset Windows Mixed Reality and you would like to go skiing among snowy trees and mountains in Biathlon Battle VR? Soon you'll do it because we start work at adding VR-headset Windows Mixed Reality.
We'll report about finishing Windows Mixed Reality tests in our community. Stay tuned to don't miss updates info!
Which VR-headset do you have? Why did you choose it? Waiting for your answers in comments.
Update soon!
Our team is working on a new patch to do Biathlon Battle VR better. Soon we’ll release a completely redesigned training mode. We have created a special training track. The passage of the track will help to understand the control and as a result, will make the game more comfortable. Other fixes and improvements will get in the patch too.
We won’t stop working on game improvement. New tracks are in the work process. Skiing on night track, crossing the frozen river - it will be possible in our game with coming updates.
Thanks for your comments. It helps us in game development.
Patch released!
Biathlon Battle VR was released three weeks ago. And all this time we have been working to improve our game. We received a lot of feedback that helped us identify the problems of the game and fix them.
Perhaps the main problem with the release version of the game was bad controls. The players did not understand how to turn in game. We have changed contols, now for turning it is enough to tilt the head or body in the right direction.
New controls is very convenient and allowed to move more maneuverable.
The second of the main problems was the main menu of the game. Now the player appears in front of an interactive table on which all menu items are conveniently located.
The third problem we consider the amount of content. We have added another new track, I made an overview post about it last week. The track is greatly improved visually relative to the screenshots you have seen. Also on the first track available from release, decorative assets were also changed.
And finally, we fixed a number of bugs we noticed during testing. Some of them allowed to increase the size of the rifles in the room to a gigantic size, as well as to fall out through the wall onto the street.
That's all for now, many more things will be refined and improved. We will share with you about our future development plans for the project in the following posts.
Overview of the new map!
Next update would be coming with new track. It is pretty different from slopes coming in first track. Let me clarify what is the key difference:
New track is cycled and duration of game depends on how many times your played on the track.
The track has different routes and we can call it as 3-in-1 track
We will use similar approach for a few next tracks as well which is in development stage at the moment.
A bit more information of new track: this is a new evening slope located near sports town. Part of the track is located inside iced cave which takes about ¼ of of whole distance. 2 of 3 routes are going through the cave. There are few stalagmites and stalactites inside the cave and there is now left/right borders which makes it an unique experience for biathlete.
See few screenshots below and enjoy the game!
Graphics Update!
We are really excited with the early release of our Biathlon game and while we are waiting to get feedback from our first users there is no reason to work less on the game. Moreover we have triple our effort to make this game one of best sports simulator allowing to practice skiing and shooting.
There are plenty of improvements we have to get done but our top priority is to add more content and to improve graphics. When we add new slopes we do our best to make it looking unique instead of just change of direction and layout. We add various elements outside of slope on both ground and in the air. The same time we remake and improve existing elements to make it looking more realistic and impressive.
Words would not describe what I am talking about, just take a look how simple cylindrical pillar were transformed into aged and snowed stone tower. A screenshot of shipping container become more realistic. We will continue to improve graphics and to make Virtual Reality deeper and exciting. Do not hesitate to message us back.
Updated models will appear in the game with the first big patch.
