Howdy Folks!
Hope you’re all doing well. I knoooooooow I said last week that we’d be done with Alphas, but it turns out that a couple changes I made that I thought were universal improvements, were not, due to well… math (and varying controller posture between platforms). So I ended up having to revert some changes to how poses are calculated when two-handing things, and I’ll return to the attempt to eliminate the armswinger-spinning-gun issue later.
As for the lever action change, I dearly HOPE, that this new control approach is to folk’s tastes, because I must admit… I’ve been a bit at my wits end trying to find a solution that pleases everyone on them. Lever actions, more than any other type of platform in RL, really rely on pressing against a ‘real’ shoulder for common operation, and so simulating the gesture of their use, with free-floating hands, has been quite the challenge. I am fairly confident on this new approach though, as it’s flatly just made them far more fun to run, especially when firing rapidly.
And lastly, the Medigun, oooooooooooooh the Medigun. Yet another one of those ‘dang that was harder than I expected’ Meat Fortress surprises. Model was great to work with, but as I mentioned in the devlog, the number of things that had to be created and stitched together logic-wise to make it happen was… significant. I can’t wait to see what hijinks you folks get up testing it out this week. I’m positive y’all will surprise me.
Anywho, barring any other surprises, we should FINALLY be ready for the full release of Update 76 next week. *crosses fingers*
Have a wonderful weekend!
Peace,
Anton
