H3VR Early Access Update 81! - At Last! A Muzzle-loading Flintlock!
Howdy Folks!
[previewyoutube="x9qPbXj5skI;full"]
It is finally time. That’s right, we finally completed something some of you folks have been asking for for absolute ages. That’s right, a Muzzle-Loading Flintlock, in all of its messy glory.
This has been an absolute treat to implement, as it’s been far too long since I’ve had the time to just focus on a single simulation challenge, and just following it where it took me, landing at each interaction and fork-point in the state space and asking what sorts of interesting results could be added, and what other objects it could interface with.
Some of you might be asking ‘what about a rifle?’ Well I am restricting this type to a single firearm to begin with, so it’s easier to work out all of the (inevitable) bugs with this large of a state-space. Once I’m confident that it’s rock solid, I will add a few more to the category (including a few absolutely wacky ones I’ve had my eye on for a while). I’d also love to get some related muzzle-loaders in, such as a Wheel-lock. Thankfully, the systems for this Flintlock have been written extensibly enough to support such things.
Also I’d like to put a HUGE shout-out thank you to Patrick Sutton and Joe Kataldo for doing the meticulous foley work for this. The Flintlock also has the most unique sounds for any firearm in the game (by far), and I had to keep adding more and more for it as new sub-states arose in the design. The nuance present in it truly was a team effort.
Anywho, I hope y’all enjoy the result of our efforts. Try not to blow too many of them up!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers, All Of Us At RUST LTD.

H3VR Early Access Update 78! - Schofield Model 3, Rotwieners Tweaks & Fixes
[previewyoutube="Zj7s4gFCivQ;full"]
Howdy Folks!
Hope you're all doing well! We're still recovering from the last month or so, but managed to push through the post-release exhaustion to get a few more QoL improvements and bug fixes into the mode while we still had a bit of residual momentum to burn.
I also managed to get the unlock rewards into the mode (all 9 of the mode-specific weapons can now be unlocked in various ways). Everyone gets the Item Spawner now in Arcade mode though, as I know many of you are looking for a more free-form or relaxing experience, or have accessibility needs, so I think it just feels right to offer that option out of the gate.
Anywho, I'm off to button up this build, make sure everything is set. It will ready as usual, at 7pm PST. Have a wonderful weekend!
Peace, Anton

Update 76 Is Now Complete!
[previewyoutube="OfUml0WBHYc;full"]
Howdy Folks!
And here we are. Update 76. Finally complete and ready for the main branch. *collapses*
What started following Meat Fortress, as a chance to explore the feasibility of some looooong community-requested ballooned into a far larger and longer to execute feature update than I ever intended. Game Development though, if often so much about intertia, and the rapid success that I had in getting early refactors working inspired further changes. It can be nerve-wracking making such major structural to the game, with this much content sitting atop it, so… these two month were very much about taking advantage of inspiration, and perhaps a little bit of compulsive excitement.
Regardless I hope you all enjoy the result. I think the uniqueness of H3 comes through most prominently in the ways in which it enables play and experiementation with a flexible set of toys, and their massive combinatorial space, whether it’s in service of making an efficient tool for a challenging mode, or a cpu-grinding monstrosity of attachments more familiar as abstract sculpture than firearm.
I just wanted to take a moment to say how inspiring it is to add features like these on a Friday, and wake up on a Saturday to see a subreddit full of ridiculous creations, absurd moments caught on video, and the enthusiam so many of you have to share the ridiculous time you have in VR with H3.
It remains a pleasure for us to author this preposterous dicking around with guns simulator for y’all.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers, Anton

Changes:

Major change in Lever Action Controls. This is provisionally the final change.
Fixed Dual Stage Trigger thresholds on P90 and Aug. There is now more ‘distance’ between semi auto and full auto engagement.

12 Gauge Freedomfetti is now also a half-power, slightly inaccurate slug (as well as being a high power shell)

Update 76 Alpha 5 is Now Live! (On the Alpha Branch Only)
[previewyoutube="w82HdYzXER4;full"]
Howdy Folks!
Hope you’re all doing well. I knoooooooow I said last week that we’d be done with Alphas, but it turns out that a couple changes I made that I thought were universal improvements, were not, due to well… math (and varying controller posture between platforms). So I ended up having to revert some changes to how poses are calculated when two-handing things, and I’ll return to the attempt to eliminate the armswinger-spinning-gun issue later.
As for the lever action change, I dearly HOPE, that this new control approach is to folk’s tastes, because I must admit… I’ve been a bit at my wits end trying to find a solution that pleases everyone on them. Lever actions, more than any other type of platform in RL, really rely on pressing against a ‘real’ shoulder for common operation, and so simulating the gesture of their use, with free-floating hands, has been quite the challenge. I am fairly confident on this new approach though, as it’s flatly just made them far more fun to run, especially when firing rapidly.
And lastly, the Medigun, oooooooooooooh the Medigun. Yet another one of those ‘dang that was harder than I expected’ Meat Fortress surprises. Model was great to work with, but as I mentioned in the devlog, the number of things that had to be created and stitched together logic-wise to make it happen was… significant. I can’t wait to see what hijinks you folks get up testing it out this week. I’m positive y’all will surprise me.
Anywho, barring any other surprises, we should FINALLY be ready for the full release of Update 76 next week. *crosses fingers*
Have a wonderful weekend! Peace, Anton
