changedWelcome To The Super-Virtual Reality FacilityAnother day another update. I decided to polish up the weapon mechanics I have been experimenting with a little bit to get it at a decent playable state. I tried to not have the gameplay a simple carbon copy of most other shooters but I also didn't want to make anything overly complicated nor very difficult.

addedWelcome To The Super-Virtual Reality FacilityWhat I ended up with after thinking about how to add it into the game I settled with the idea of some sort of enhanced Virtual Reality system. (In-game VR not actual VR). Thus S-VR (Super Virtual Reality) was born. You're able to access the S-VR Facility in two ways. First is by simply starting a new game. You can get to it using an elevator (Which I have opened up) at the departures level on board the STARDOCKS station. You may also select the SRO Missions on the menu screen and instead of choosing a missions, just head over to Departures and take said elevator.

changedWelcome To The Super-Virtual Reality FacilityYou will then head over to the facility and be able to start a session once you arrive. I may change a bit of how it works, I cobbled it up pretty quickly but it works. Now, don't expect anything super amazing. It's just a fun little addition that I was playing around with. There's no difficulty challenge (I believe it's not that easy but still doable) and if I decide to flesh it out more, I probably will change a few more things.

changedWelcome To The Super-Virtual Reality FacilityThere are two rifles to play with (I have two more but those are for tougher enemies) I also thought that slow motion would be a fun mechanic so make sure to utilize it. It's not an incredibly big update, but a lot of the foundation has been laid out. I would like to work on a few more levels but they're quite a bit of work. I find it a bit of a fun addition but I would like to hear what you guys think. I'd love to get some feedback and perhaps if you find any bugs, let me know. Keybindings should be listed in the options menu as well. Nothing is saved, for now it's just a straight endeavor.

One of my favorites is this one made by Wren: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1816778189 He has more on this page, which you can view here: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Wrendreaming/screenshots/?appid=552880 Keep posting guys, I love seeing this kind of stuff, it's insanely cool and please feel free to post the on the forums!!!
