Good Afternoon,
I'm excited to announce that Content Patch 1.55 is now ready! With this update, I'm bringing Custom Level Support to Fast and Low, as well as a slew of updates and changes.
Unfortunately, past saves will no longer work with version 1.55 of Fast and Low. However, I'll be posting a Save File on the official discord channel which unlocks everything. So hopefully that will appease some folk :P Apologies in advance for your saves getting lost.

Custom Level Support
Fast and Low can now take in Custom Levels made using a Unity based Level Editor. This mod kit and a comprehensive wiki on how to use it can be found here:
https://github.com/huskinator86/modkit
With this level editor, future map creators can import their own 3d-assets, and using the tools; setup enemy placements, create enemy patrol paths, cover points, and etc. Each of these tools will be covered in the documentation.
Custom Levels can also be played online! As long as you and your online co-op buddies have the same version of the custom map/mod, you'll be able to explore new custom-content together! I'm really excited to see what people can come up with!
Until I figure out how to properly get Steam Workshop linked to Fast and Low, Map creators can share their maps on the Fast and Low Modding Discord channel: https://discord.gg/FJWh7M
Or maybe post their creations on Nexusmods?
Networking Updates
Cleaned up some of the Networking code, in hopes of fixing issues with players sometimes loading into levels without their avatars. In addition, join-able rooms now indicate the Map that the room is currently playing (whether it be the base 13 missions, or custom levels).
If a room is currently running a custom map that you don't have, it will inform you and restrict you from joining.
If a host starts running a custom map you don't have, while you have already joined...it will promptly eject you back to the main menu.
Change Loadout
Players can now change their loadouts during Missions or in the Multiplayer Lobby. The changes would take place on Mission Restart/Scene Change.
Don't forget to SAVE your changes!!
Note: Although all these screenshots are from a VR perspective...these changes have also been made for the Desktop FPS player!
Misc Fixes
- Completely changed the fonts for the HUDs and Main Menus
- Fixed some bugs with enemies not shooting straight
- Fixed some bugs with enemies not shooting with their backup weapon
- Redid lighting for Main Menu so it's smoother
This is just the start of the Modding Process for Fast and Low. The next step is to add the ability to create/add your own enemies/weapons/player avatars, as well as figure out Steam Workshop integration. If anyone runs into any problems. Please post it here or you can find me on Discord!
