- Going Free To Play - 16 November 2018
As of today, I made Fatal Velocity: Physics Combat a free to play game. Why? (Some may be wondering) I can no longer develop the game and feel that since I can't carry on any updates - people shouldn't be forced to pay to play the game. There are still bugs and issues - but if you feel like killing some time with friends give it a go, swing around, knock some people off the map and enjoy. THANK YOU to those who supported me during the development (playtests and demos). If you picked up a copy - you have my sincerest thanks Should I win the lottery I'd definitely pick up and continue the development xD Range.
- Steam Sale & What's Been Happening - 21 June 2018
Hey everyone, Wanted to mention that Fatal Velocity is currently 70% off during the Steam Sale! If you already have a copy let your pals know so you can throw 'em under a train or into some turbines! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30911027%2F3fbae75f8acd128ae27f5c78061ea518986ea927.png What's Been Happening? I want to keep everyone in the loop so they know where we've been and what's the future of Fatal Velocity. (Where we've been) - Dream Hack Austin 2018 - Positive feedback for the game & suggestions to improve - Working on level design to standardize scale of maps and hazards - Experimenting with weapon and gameplay design changes (What's the future?) - If new weapon and gameplay design changes work, expand upon original idea and keep growing the game's interest into the FPS genre - Development will continue, but at a slower pace due to limited resou…
- CTF Mode Now Officially WIP (check out playtest #23) - 20 April 2018
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVuzZnbU3cg&t It's time to start working on other modes than just DM/TDM and Last Man Standing! I present, Capture the Flag! This is our first playtest in this mode - the focus of the game being different than PVP makes speed and movement just a hell of a lot more fun. Seriously, want to Spider-Man around and not have to worry about targets? Just double or quad Grapple Tech up, go for the flag and swing away!

- Back From PAX EAST 2018 - 11 April 2018
Hey everyone! Finally back from PAX East 2018 and had a very good time. Definitely a learning experience and one where I walked away with my motivation recharged! I was constantly in awe of the cool games around me and meeting new people was absolutely awesome. Even with how crazy busy it was, I didn't want it to end. It was absolutely killer people would simply walk up start playing and just start trying to figure Fatal Velocity out. As it's not a typical FPS game I had to explain how to play and different methods of doing different things. All in all it was so great to get constructive feedback and I looked at the event like it was a 4 day playtesting session! Here are my thoughts in the vlog, and I'll see you all later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shId-_Jup5Y&list=PL9dM6jWvLU4-wQewuRswNnCpv5TfXIDo4&index=17&t=0s Be sure to join our Discord to discuss development and progress with…

- Fatal Velocity: Physics Combat Enters Early Access - 29 March 2018
So here we are - the 5 year journey to get the game finally ready for Early Access is less than a few hours away. Long story short, the craziness of getting this game up and running since 2013 has been a dream of mine and to finally get here feels pretty badass, but journey is far from over. The game still has many improvements to enhance the experience and I'm looking forward to getting those underway after PAX East if the public interest allows it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_8F1RP4woM&t I wanted to extend a massive thank you to everyone for helping me playtest the game - even if it was only once, doesn't matter. Your feedback at that time definitely helped me make the game what it is today. I just wanted to announce that all players who helped playtest up to today will have the game for free - on me as a massive thank you. If you initially intended to buy a copy, please do me a…

- New Early Access Date! - 26 February 2018
I have some major news to announce today. I have decided to officially launch Fatal Velocity: Physics Combat Early Access on March 27, 2018 instead of April 18, 2018. Heading to PAX in early April will not only allow players to try the game right then and there but buy a copy on the spot which is a huge opportunity to grow the community. We’re going to work on polishing everything that is key to the gameplay experience such as tutorials, UI, networking and maps. Things like new maps and game modes will be temporarily halted until after PAX. I've also made a development vlog talking about recent accomplishments and upcoming plans to really polish the Early Access build! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgvItWLL2Jg&feature=youtu.be

- Happy New Years! - 7 January 2018
Hey everyone, Just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year (even though I'm a week late) I do aplogize that I'm behind as I've been tied up from developing FV over the last 2 weeks. Now that everything is (mostly) back to normal I will be looking at running another tournament hopefully in late January and have the floating island map completed! The tournament will be team based, 2v2 and I'll have more details for you later this week. Here are a few screens of the latest progress on the map, let me know what you think! (I love foliage :D) Range. Discord :: https://discord.gg/byaU2Df (Join for playtesting!)

- First Tournament Summary - 21 December 2017
Hey everyone, just wanted to make a quick follow up announcement congratulating the winners of the first 1 vs 1 FV tournament ever! It was absolutely awesome to see players really try to gain the upper hand with their own play styles. Some choosing the complete mobility playstyle, others choosing a mixture of grappling and gravity or focusing on the mobility with ranged push orbs and grenades. Whatever their style was - each had pros and cons and it really shined here. Congrats to the winners again, and keep an eye out for the next tournament happening soon! Range.
