Update #16 - Sept 15 2017 - New IPSC long course, designer props and Hyperkin blaster support
Week #16. Aurel Schwarz sent in a cool IPSC long course design which is pretty challenging. I've made the scoreboards unique, so only the best run will show. I've also added a cheesey golf-clap effect when you make it to the high score. Added a few props for the designer and added support for the 2nd gen Hyperkin blaster prototype.

Changelog v0.28
* IPSC Stage - You Snooze You Lose
* Scoreboards are now unique - Only your highest score count

Update #15 - Sept 9 2017 - Activators in Designer & New USPSA Stage
Week #15, we have another brand new USPSA medium course called How is your Rhythm design by Brant. I've also implemented Activators in the designer. You can create association between activators and objects that can be activated by using the Right Blue Gun. Press the MENU button a few times till you see the "*" icon and the laser beam will turn green. First click selects activators, second click selects the activated object. You can remove previous activator lines by establishing the same link again. Once to create, twice to remove. I've also added rudimentary support for multiple languages in the UI. It's rudimentary because it uses Google translate to pick words and I'm sure it's not 100% accurate. For those of you who speak different languages please let me know if there are errors. The language depends on your system selected language.

Changelog v0.27
* USPSA Stage - How is your Rhythm?
* Designer - Activator Lines
* Multilanguage support (FR,DE,ES,IT,ZH,JA,MS)
* Fix Stage Design saving problem
* Fixed Door and Port coliders

Enjoy!

Update #14 - Sept 4 2017 - New USPS Stage & Stage Designer improvements
Alright! it's week 14 and I have a few updates. First off, a new stage by Brant Pace. He's great at making stages and I'm really impressed with the shootability of his designs. I wish I could shoot them in real life. Next up, added a few more paper objects and small walls to the designer, also added ability to adjust height and load JPG images of your stage diagrams as a reference when you're creating a stage.


Changelog v0.26
* USPSA Stage - Tight Quarters
* Load JPG into stage designer (put jpg files in "C:\stagediagrams")
* Adjust prop height
* Fixed Glock red dot alignment

Enjoy!

Update #13 - Aug 26 2017 - Stage Designer!
It's here! Finally got the in-game designer working. I was really surprised with how much work it took. I found a huge structural problem with my models that I had to fix which entailed fixing ALL of the existing stages. That took a lot of time.

That said, the designer is still rudimentary. You can create stages, save them, load them, and play them. It only has half of the props that are available in game. None of the props can be activated. The stage description is not customizable at this moment. The standard start position is standing anywhere hands relaxed at side. I'll be adding more support for different start positions in the coming weeks.

Hope you guys find it useful and please give me feedback and/or comments in the discussion boards at : http://steamcommunity.com/app/611720/discussions/


Changelog v0.25
* STAGE DESIGNER!
* Particle effects
* Textmesh transparent problem
* Made flashlight more realistic
* Simplified drawing mechanic

Enjoy!

Update #12 - Aug 19 2017 - New USPSA Stage and more progress with designer

I'm still working hard on the stage designer. Got saving and loading to work. Now I need to get Play mode working. In the time being, a shooting buddy of mine Brant, who is very active in competition shooting and stage design, learned some Unity and built a stage called Heart Attack. It's a simple short course but has a cross activating drop turner which needs some timing to get right.

Changelog v0.24
* Heart Attack stage by Brant Pace
* Fixed Drop Turner rotation
* Adjusted trackpad sensitivity
* Adjusted draw zone to make it more positive to draw

Enjoy!

Update #11 - Aug 12th 2017 v0.23 New stage Kris Kross, stage designer preview and more
Got a lot done this week with the stage designer. It's still not ready for release yet but I've included a preview for you guys. I also managed to create a fun quick stand and shoot stage that requires no movement called Kris Kross. Other enhancements include visual blooms and ambient occlusion effects to increase the quality of the graphics a little, fixed a nagging bug with empty magazines.

Another thing I included just as a test is support for the Hyperkin pistol and the Vive tracker. You can now use the gun in the game during the main menu but it doesn't do much. I just needed to see how it works.

Changelog v0.23:
* Added visual blooms & AO effects
* Kris Kross long course
* Fixed empty magazines and reloading issue
* Integrated Vive tracker & Hyperkin pistol support

Enjoy!

PractisimVR showcased at the Triggrcon 2017 event in Tacoma, WA
We got involved in a fun event this weekend at Triggrcon 2017​, working together with Virtual Sports​ down in Tukwila, we ran over 1,200 people through nine (9) HTC VIVE​ pods playing my game, Practisim VR. We introduced VR to the shooting community and they LOVED it. This community has been historically slow to adopt technology but it opened their eyes to what it can do for the world of law enforcement, training and competition shooting.
