Now that PunjiVR is released and in a stable [enough] state, I wanted to keep you all informed with what to expect in the upcoming major updates.
Update 8 (Next Update)
The next major update will be all about the Huey helicopter. The goal for Update 8 is to have at least one flyable helicopter with two flight models (realistic & arcade) and a large flight range map. I originally planned on including combat helicopters plus a large mission with enemy combatants where you can play as the defenders or attackers, but will leave that for a future update so you all aren't left too long without new content. At this time, I'm a little under half way done with Update 8, so the expected time frame would see its release sometime in mid-August.
Future Major Updates
Following Update 8 and its inevitable set of patches, I'll start work on the next campaign which will have you play as a Viet Cong sapper with missions focusing on stealth and sabotage behind enemy lines. More details will release further in its development.
Because campaigns take a considerable amount of development time, I'll work on a few smaller updates to push out in the meantime. These smaller updates will include quick play missions, new weapons + tools, and new mechanics.
After seeing how many of you are interested in multiplayer, I'll likely start work with that sooner than I originally planned. At first, I only envisioned multiplayer as a few co-op missions, but the more I think of the possibilities, the more I want to do with it. I won't share too much yet as it's all still in the idea stage, but expect some exciting news for multiplayer in the future.
A Quest 2 port is still on the roadmap, but probably won't be ready for some time. Seeing how well other games have done on Quest 2 standalone, I doubt I would need to change/remove too much to get everything to run smoothly, but a lot of experimentation still needs to be done. Worst case scenario, I make an exclusive separate version of the game, but, like I mentioned, I highly doubt it would be that bad.
Hopefully this gave you a little more insight into what the near future of PunjiVR will look like. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, issues, or concerns. Thanks for reading and don't forget to check for leeches!
