- Summer update info - 22 June 2018
Dear players and everyone, who’s interested in our game! We’re glad to inform you, that nowadays we’re actively preparing for the beta release of the game! Everything that we’ve promised is almost ready, but we’d like to let you know of some details. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F29393175%2F8f4fd3741741b0c5dfb0c3d97f520579fcaccb35.jpg Instead of the cooperative mode we decided to show you a bit of the plot: the prologue, some dialogs and a boss. The cooperative mode requires major further development, that’s why it won’t be available in the next update. The leaderboards and the statistics will be reset. Current achievements will be deleted and replaced with entirely new ones. We’ll let you know of the exact release date later. After the release of the coming update we’ll correct all the errors and deficiencies that you will find and start moving toward…
- Xenobox VR Beta Reveal Teaser - 18 April 2018
Check out our new Xenobox VR Beta Teaser! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeVH2BeTrpU In the coming update, which will bring the game to the beta stage, you’ll see a wealth of modifications: The design has been fully redone: we’ve got new models of enemies, surroundings and weapons. The gaming space has become three-dimensional. The performance has improved: it’ll be convenient to play even with the highest number of enemies and effects. We introduce the new audio system. All sounds in the expanded gaming space are more realistic. The VFX make the player reach a new level of perception. Each explosion now causes shock wave. The total amount of particles has been increased. 3 new types of enemies: light, medium and heavy combat drones, each with its own behavior, design and weapons. An advanced AI that is dynamic in making decisions depending on the playing situation. The IK body respond…
- Information about the current development of beta version - 26 February 2018
Dear players and everyone who follows our game! We are happy to give a report on our latest achievements! A few days ago we started working on the system of co-op play, so for sure there will be a multiplayer. You'll be able to play via Steam as well as via LAN. Also, we've finished working on the drones' AI-base. It may still look clumsy, but we keep developing it. Our 3D-artist has almost finished creating the new surroundings (80% ready, including the textures) We've been working hard (and we continue working) on the optimization. The game constantly generates 90 FPS in a scene with 16 drones (and that's a lot, believe me) both on Oculus and on Vive (no, they aren't the same thing). We decided not to switch to Unreal Engine 4, although it has been discussed. We added a VRIK body for the players. For now on it looks odd (and scary). We're firing on all cylinders to get the beta-versio…

Dear players! We'd like to inform you, that we are now intensively working on the next update. This update will be the transition to the beta-release of the game, where lots of innovations are waiting for you.

New weapon models and recasted shooting mechanics. IK-body of your character. The virtual body ensures a total immersion in the game and adds the thrill. And much more.
