Update 3

Highlights:

Weapon Sway

Guns now sway when moving based on various factors. Each weapon has a different sway modifier and is affected by the gun's length, weight, and whether it has a stock (extending/unfolding stocks decreases sway), bayonet, or open bipod. Movement speed affects the base sway amount, and your current inventory weight affects how much the weapons bob when swaying.

Improved Chest Inventory

Rearranged chest inventory by replacing two of the existing pouches with 4 socket pouches. The socket pouches work like most other VR inventory slots and are much easier to access.

• Made stored pouch items MUCH easier to grab

• Revised mission selection

• Added option to change grab icon: (default (G + T), simple (white/red dot), or none)

Closing:

The door gunner mission was going to be the big highlight for this update, but unfortunately it was too buggy to ship at this stage, so it'll be delayed until next update. The rest of the update was in good shape and was leagues better than the current state of PunjiVR, so I really wanted to get it out quickly (especially since it's been over a month since Update 2). In addition, I disabled Gun Truck due to it being outdated and buggy. I'll remake it in the next update and ship it with the door gunner mission, so stay tuned!

Besides all of that though, I'm a lot happier with the state of the game and I hope it makes for a better experience for you all to play. The inventory is finally usable, and there's an actual tutorial for it now, so that alone should make gameplay run a lot smoother.
