Hey everyone!
Last month we were busy working on this new update and we finally adressed the most wanted feature… hands!✋ Of course everything is subject to change so if you have any feedback for hands or other feature we would love to hear it on our discord. We also upgraded engine version from Unreal engine 5.0 to 5.1 which greatly improved lightning on moving objects, reflections, physics and much more.
We tested improved physics of both versions and you can see difference here:
Here is the full changelog:
New features:
- Enemy head will explode if you kill them with headshot
- Added hands to all weapons and improved animation. Added idle animation
- Player will push props around when walking through them
- Improved camera shake on all weapons
- Added HDR support
- Improved fire feedback, player now sees flames when burning
- Added highlight on pickup items for better visibility
- Added headshot and damage indicator to the crosshair
- Reprogrammed the whole weapon system from scratch (you won‘t notice that, but we did it :D). It‘s now more robust and modular. This will enable us to create alternative attacks and more.

Bugfixes:
