- Stauts Update - 8 June 2015
Hello Everyone! Just a quick update to let you know that we are still alive over here! We are working on a few things for A.V. currently. The Steam trading cards are almost done! We will be posting these late this week or early next week. Also coming in the next week or so is an update to the Demo version of A.V. The demo is still running on an old version from late Feburary, so we want to let people see some of the updates. For those of you that own the game and are looking for in game changes don't worry! We are working on a major AI overhaul which will also include two new enemies! There isn't a strict schedule set on this, but we will update as we make progress. We are taking a peek at some other minor things too, but the AI is the bread and butter of the next patch. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions, feedback, or well, just to say hi. - Preston & First Forever S…

- Something to make the Linux people happy! - 8 April 2015
We patched up some of the rendering issues occuring on OpenGL in Linux! We are also including a universal x86_64 executable now to help those having issues with the x86 file. Please note that the current library we use for Steam Achievments does not support x86_64. We are looking for a different way to do Steam Achievements for those that want to use the 64 bit executable. We shall keep the masses informed as time goes on. Enjoy the Beat, Preston

- With a Vengeance (Version 1.2.0 – Release) - 1 April 2015
You know, it’s funny…the term “release”. You’d get the impression that a software release would carry with it certain other kinds of release. Emotional release. Release from obligations. Release from the eternal prison of bug fixing. The legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto once said that a delayed game is only delayed until it’s released, but a bad game is bad forever. Well, thanks to the wonderful world of digital media, that’s no longer entirely true. Unfortunately for us, that means we’ll be working on A.V. forever. But not to worry, because you, the consumer, need not be concerned with the state of “developers,” the mysterious biochemical devices which were created in a lab to build and maintain entertainment products for the masses. All you need to worry about is what these “developers” come up with for you next! What we’ve come up with is our long-awaited support for the Ocul…

- Update on the Update - 17 March 2015
There are probably a fair amount of people asking, “Hey, where is that A.V. Oculus update at?” Very excellent question! While at the Game Developers Conference the other week we got a lot of great feedback while showing off the game. On top of this, Unity released their new engine, Unity 5, which has a lot of technical features we could potentially take advantage of, as well as better license terms for our team. Upgrading to a new engine version is a difficult task that probably should have waited, but Preston was already fired up. So then it was, Preston feverishly worked on upgrading to the new version, and after only a bit of hair turning grey, there was success! We have A.V. up and running on the new Unity engine, but are still working to implement Oculus feedback from the conference and fixing up a few little bug fixes remain. We are going to roll out the Oculus and bug fixing patc…

- A.V. 1.0.1 Patch - 16 February 2015
A.V. 1.0.1 patch has been released! This patch is for all platforms and applies to the Demo version also. Fixes include but are not limited to: 1. Fixed problem where Unity Engine was loading extra cut scene videos that were not needed. This in turn fixes the reported RAM or crashing problems. 2. Fixed input “lag”. 3. Adjusted light on player walk and ping to help prevent rendering artifacts from the high intensity light. 4. Fixed issue with Broadcast Pylon affect range sometimes being over extended. 5. Few miscellaneous tweaks and adjustments to Zones 1 and 2. As always, feel free to reach out to us in the Steam Community or email! We are digging back into VR setup again now, but will also be patching bugs as they come up and time allows. Enjoy the Beat, FirstForever Studios
