September update!

Hi survivors, release 1.0.3 is live!

The game development keeps going on and we are glad to announce the September release, with tons of new functionalities and enhancements!

Requested by the community, we're introducing a new badass tactical revolver and tweaking some weapons (especially melee) to enhance the gaming experience. We also completed the first phase of Nowhere map optimizations, aiming to open it to survival mode in the coming releases. Last but not least we've addressed your most important feedbacks, fixing more than 20 bugs! Check the full changelog below!

Enjoy!😉

PS: while downloading the new update, please spend 1 minute of your time leaving a review! This is a 2 guys project... and we need your support! 🥰

Tactical revolver and weapons tweaks

Weapons are like knickers, you can never have enough! 😉

So here is the new tactical revolver! We implemented essentially everything the community asked for and more: it can be reloaded one bullet at a time or you can use 5 rounds speedloaders, it supports sights and underbarrel attachments, you can rotate the cylinder, users with realistic options will need to open it using both hands (same button used to unlock attachments), ejector rod can be used to unload the cylinder or you can just use gravity! Having other requests... just ask! Your feedback is always welcome! 😉

We're also buffing archery, increasing base arrows damage by 20% (players will be able to headshot zeds playing at nightmare level!) and introducing a new logic to set the draw length based on the player's height. The new stacking logic will also let you carry more arrows in your backpack!

For those crafting double mags, you will be able to store empty mags back in your pouches or backpack!

Last but not least we finally fixed a melee issue, not triggering hits when swinging too fast. This should make melee much more reliable! 😍

Survival mode

Many players asked for difficulty level in Survival mode to face a harder challenge! 😎 From this release difficulty level will be applied to all games modes! The higher the level the higher the chance to drop rare or legendary objects from bosses or survival events and the higher the xp points gained while playing.

We're also removing the xp points cap currently set at 99,999 points (one player reached the cap playing legit! GG!) and restoring the leaderboard hack check: players who have tried to hack it won't be shown in the public leaderboard. If you are one of the 2 steam players actually banned, just drop us a message to restore your account😉

Play comfortably!

A lot of improvements on playability... 😎

To prevent motion sickness we're adding an option to enable VR tunnel effect while moving/using smooth turn. On the side of controls, a new option to enable/disable the crouch button and, needing a break, just call oculus/steam dashboard to be invulnerable (after a 10 seconds cooldown period)!

We're also increasing the size of on-screen damage indicators.

Last but not least, we're fixing a couple of annoying bugs affecting movement (e.g. players not been able to move at game start) and implementing full compatibility with cosmos controllers.

Performance enhancements

We've completed the first part of Nowhere optimization. The new Nowhere should perform way smoother than before, even in multiplayer! 😍 This is just the first step, in the next release, we'll deliver the second part of optimizations, allowing us to start survival mode implementation in Nowhere map.

And... Oh! The most important news!!! JFJ got his tombstone (thanks to Swanie)! 🤣

Enjoy! 😋
