Spawn protection should be more fair and disable itself when shooting
Some other improvements
It's a rather small update as I'm still prototyping some much needed UI improvements but you can be sure that I'm already working on some very neat features as well. :)
So stay tuned and have a nice weekend :)
Multiplayer compatibility: Due to changes in the netcode this version is not compatible to old versions in multiplayer anymore.
Update 31
Hey guys,
here goes another update :)
General
Increased damage for weapon Luger
Fixed an issue with Oculus Touch control scheme in Gun Game
Moved spawn point in the loadout room closer to the portal
Integrated multiplayer lobby into main scene (this is a WIP as it still uses the old menus)
Other minor improvements
Editor
Fixed an issue with lootable crates
Endless Breaching
Nature ambient sounds (birds, etc.) will not play at night
Added thug targets to the mix
I hope you like the new way of joining/hosting a multiplayer match. This is not the final result but should still be less frustrating, a lot faster and more intuitive to use. Furthermore it feels a lot better to me, too.
As always I'm looking for feedback from you guys as well. If you run into any issues don't hesitate to tell me.
Have a nice weekend :)
Update 30
Hey guys,
here goes another update :)
Demo users should give the game another try because you can play all maps in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag now. This step became necessary as demo users had a hard time to actually play the game. Weapon restrictions and so on are still active, of course.
This update however also brings a new game mode called Gun Game to all owners of the full game. You start with the MP5 and you will have to fight your way through the weapon aresenal. It is pretty much like a race as well because the first person killing somebody with the knife (thats the final weapon) is going to win.
Changes
Fixed an issue when arrows did not disappear
Added Gun Game mode
Press on the bow sight to toggle it on and off
Weapons come preloaded and reload automatically after dead
Optimized the way how maps and modes are handled in the game internally
Weapons Vec and G18 also spawn in full auto mode (remember that you can press the touchpad in right direction to change fire mode)
Added sandstorm and shipment for Classic Deathmatch
Added new map rust
Other fixes and improvements
Let me know how it works for you. Enjoy!
Update 29
Hey guys,
here goes another update :)
So I was playing around with some different control schemes to avoid ripping off attachments accidentally. The whole process is still exactly the same but in order to confirm that you want to unlock your attachment you need to press the grip button (HTC Vive) or the trigger (Oculus Touch) now. This is also visualized by a thin line that indicates that the attachment is connected to the weapon and needs to be unlocked first. Otherwise it would just snap back to the old place on the weapon.
This tiny pistol is a Luger that features a very nice mechanism. The footages is recorded in slow motion and shows exactly that. It is now available in single-player and multiplayer and goes along with the MP 40 that is available now as well.
New map sandstorm:
New map silo:
Changes
Attachments need to be "unlocked" in order to seperate them from the weapon
Grab the attachment as usual and press grip button (HTC Vive) or trigger (Oculus Touch) to unlock it
Fixed an issue when you took damage from doors
Updated game engine to Unity 5.3.3f1
Optimized rock colliders
Changed entrance scene and mode selection
Added new pistol Luger
Added new SMG MP 40
Increased damage of the SMG Vec
Increased damage of M249
Added tdm_sandstorm, dm_sandstorm and vir_sandstorm
Added tdm_silo and dm_silo
In CTF the flag is invisible for yourself now (you will hear Flag Captured when you captured the flag)
Fixed an issue when people kept weapons in Classic Deathmatch
Added new master server "Australia"
Other fixes and improvements
I hope you like the new theme of the entrance scene and the way you select the game modes. I also would like to update all the other UI but I'm still working on a good concept for it. If you got some more ideas I would be happy to hear them!
If you are experiencing white controllers in this game you might want to give a try to the SteamVR beta that got a fix for this issue:

Wish you all a nice weekend and a happy Easter!
Multiplayer: This version breaks compatibility with older versions.
Update 28
Hey guys,
here goes another update :)
This update makes use of the game title Bullets And More and adds a Longbow (and also another SMG) to the game.
I'm not even sure if any other game features bows in a PvP game. Obviously it is a bit more challenging weapon that however is even more rewarding and satisfying and also very sneaky! If you practice a bit I'm sure you can even compete with people using guns and if all people on the server agree you also could communicate to use bows only which turns the game into a completely different one. The bow also mirors itself to offer the best experience for left and right handed players. Just make sure that your controllers have been detected correctly or it will be wrong. Just swap your controllers in this situation. This is not an issue for Oculus Touch users, of course.
Another new weapon is a SMG called Vec. It features three fire modes (semi, 2 round burst, full auto). The fire rate is very high and addictive but also makes you run out of bullets rather fast. Just play around with it yourself.
For the Oculus Touch users I also added an new menu option called "Hold Grip (Oculus)". This hopefully makes the game feel way better using the Oculus Touch controllers. At the moment you need to enable this option manually because I want to receive some more feedback before it will be enabled by default for Oculus users.
Changes
Added new weapon Longbow
Added new weapon Vec
Added "Hold Grip" option for Oculus users
Added vir_watchtower_night
Optimized haptic feedback
Some other improvements and fixes
Let me know what you think about this :)
Have a nice weekend. Enjoy :)
Multiplayer: This version breaks compatibility with older versions.
Update 27
Hey guys,
here goes another update :)
Changes
Rebalancing of all weapons
Further optimization of all muzzle flashes
Hopefully got rid of "Game created." issue when joining a just recently created game
Added map dm_station, tdm_station and vir_station (further improvements might be necessary but we can only find out by playing)
Added map dm_battle_brook
Improved scoring for virus mode
SMG90 can be used in combination with a silencer
Added a simple digital compass below health text
Attempt to fix team killing issues in virus mode
Fixed face swap issue for ragdolls
Save inventory spawn positions by arranging the objects in the inventory the way you want and press the new save button in the loadout selection
Tons of other fixes and improvements
By the way an unknown feature is that you can change the color and reticle on the holo sights and the color of the laser sight. Just hold them in your hand and press up/down to change color or left/right to change the reticle. This settings will be saved now and are uniform for all of them.
Enjoy :)
Multiplayer: This version breaks compatibility with older versions.
Edit: A glitch in the map voting has been reported. I could reproduce the issue and I'm already compiling a possible fix for it. So don't worry. I know it is annoying at the moment.
Edit2: Issues should be resolved if the host is on the most recent version. :)
Tiny update
Hey guys,
here goes another (tiny) update.
Changes
Reduced zombie health to 200
Round time for virus mode is now 3 minutes but the round time is reset for every turned person
When 70% of the people voted for the same mode/map the vote will be accepted immediately
Optimized muzzle flash on hand guns
The visuals for the striker fired G18 and G22 should be better
Added attachment place sound
Some other fixes and improvements
This changes should make it a bit easier for the humans and increase the pressure on the zombies. I also will need to check and change some more muzzle flashes but this should already help quiete a bit :)
Please note: Due to changes in the netcode this version breaks compatibility to the previous version yet again. So update as soon as possible.
Update 26
Hey guys,
here goes another update. This took a while but I hope this time the update fixes all performance issues for real. In fact I already tested this update with some people and it was perfectly smooth and the increased network responsiveness felt just incredibly good. Before this update there was a very long delay before the kill has been confirmed and the enemy dropped to the ground. This confirmation should happen immediately now due to lots of optimizations to the game and the netcode.
Furthermore I tried to get two new game modes ready for you. The first mode is called Virus Infection. It is still experimental and needs more testing but usually works rather well and is tons of fun. One or two persons will be selected to start as infected persons and need to infect the other people. The other people however need to stay alive or they will become infected as well. To make this more interesting the infected persons carry no guns and need to come close to you. They got 2.5x more health and they can see friends and enemies through walls. Last but not least they do not need any ladders but can climb up walls and stuff. This mode might have some glitches especially after a map change but usually it sorts itself. Just keep that in mind.
The other game mode is called "Classic Deathmatch". You start with a pistol and you need to collect weapons in the map. The weapons respawn after 20 seconds so you can even dual wield and stuff. Definitely very cool as well.
Here are some impressions:
- Virus Infection (Experimental/Testing)
- Classic Deathmatch
Changes
Lots of major performance improvements
Improved network latency and game responsiveness
Increased size of the small scope to better meet VR HMD resolution
Optimized muzzle flashes on all full automatic guns
Added new game mode category "Classic Deathmatch"
Added new game mode category "Experimental/Testing" (including Virus Infection game mode and some other interesting stuff like a CTF obstacle course)
Updated chud to latest workshop submission (more climbable stuff in it!)
Fixed SMG11 sound glitch
Tried to make ladders easier to climb
Lots of other stuff, fixes and improvements
Let me know what you think about this. I'm still sorry for the last days when you did experience not the best performance but I hope this update finally fixes it and even makes up for it as well.
Enjoy! :)
Fixed performance issues
Hey guys,
please make sure that you received the update I published about an hour ago. It is probably the final update in a series of updates that tried to increase the game performance within the last days. This recent update should fix the performance issues completely and you definitely should try it as soon as possible. Furthermore give yet another chance to all the maps that you did avoid due to issues in the past. I think they all should offer a way better experience by now.
This issue was very hard to track down and I'm also very sorry that you did experience it in the first place. Thanks again for all of your trust and support.
Let me know if you are (still) experiencing issues of any kind. I really think this specific one should be fixed but you never know and I'm open-minded for feedback of any kind anyway :)
I hope you can enjoy the rest of your weekend a bit better now. :)
Edit: I will work on another approach that fixes all the issues completely. Just give me one or two more days to get that done :)
Update 25
Hey guys,
here goes another update that hopefully fixes a lot of the performance issues you have been experiencing in the past. To make up for some of this issues and to thank you for all the trust I got another weapon for you. It is a blast for sure and it also should be a good counterpart for the L96 and vice versa.
Charging sequence:
Firing sequence:
To help with performance and to make the game look even better and immersive I baked lots of lights. It is a very time consuming process and some results might be a bit weird but still it feels and plays way better.
Here are some impressions of some of the changed maps:
Notice that the last map looks like a completely new map but the truth is that it is "chud" that received another theme because a lot of you did dislike the darkness in it. I hope you can enjoy this take on it a bit more.
The maps that have not been light baked yet will receive a light baking at some later point as well.
Changes
Lots of performance optimizations
New decal system for blood that should work way more reliable and efficient
Switched to Single Pass Rendering
Added new weapon M249
Added locomotion block on top of the towers in planets
Fixed jamming issue for SMG11
Fixed broken AI Soldier in Editor
Fixed broken Flare in Editor
Adjustments to animation thresholds
Bipod is more comfortable to use now
Attempt to reduce network lag a bit
Health indication changes color depending on health state (white, yellow, red)
Baked lots of lights and optimized maps
Active spawn protection will be visible on close distances only
Improved map voting to allow to vote game mode before voting the map
Some weapon balancing
Lots of other fixes and improvements
Now that a lot of the performance issues should have been fixed please give another chance to some of the maps that have been problematic before. If you are still experiencing issues feel free to tell me and I will try my best to improve it even further :)
! Attention !
If you are using the SteamVR beta your controller might appear plain white due to some issues in the current beta. Just opt-out of the SteamVR beta and you should be good again.
