fixedUpdated video configurations, video presets and "potato" quality are now a thing (though, its WIP). Removed duplicate video configuration strings. Finished the handcannon code, cleaned up the handcannon QC and fixed the fire .smd animation files missing the camera bone (caused it to rotate 90 degrees, whoopsies). Updated the interior texture for the handcannon.
fixedI updated Hammer Editor (Fixed a massive oversight on the brush picker on 3D view). Basically, it never got the "depth" of the objects and only returned the most negative value possible. TLDR: Hammer is actually functional now. I also added "Reload Models" into Hammer, where you can reload all models and their textures in your current session without needing to restart the program. (It's actually a really dumb hack, but shhh)
addedNew RNG routes are being worked into RoanokePD, see paths that were once blocked off? Now they are only sometimes blocked off.
addedBeen working on scripting the gameplay for the two of the new levels we have in the works! Not much to talk about for the last week but next week I should have some nice visuals to show off.
changedI’m currently working on the 4th and final map closing out the Desert Area. Will have something to show shortly so in the meantime close your eyes real tight and imagine what it might look like!

HeadCount is now fully playable on PSVR, still optimizing the game to try and squeeze more out of the PS4 base model and refining the controls but should very soon have the game submitted for testing by Sony.
