[previewyoutube=UFwA3qkMtCo;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]GREETINGS![/h2] The time has come, after a long(er than we anticipated) wait, the latest HUGE update for H3VR is complete. The Institution Update expands and refines H3VR’s tactical roguelite game mode, Take & Hold, with new enemies and hazards, a new Tournament-focused character, and its most challenging level yet: Institution. Institution is about realizing what I’d always imagined back when first making Take & Hold. It’s everything I find most compelling about a virtual space. Grand in scale. Simultaneously oppressive and alienating but also somehow cozy? All-consuming. Self-awarely synthetic but hyper-tangible. The environment itself is my main character. This update also includes our latest Take & Hold character: Tournament Toby. Build with feedback from our Competitive Scene, it's Take & Hold at its most merciless. The mode itself has gotten a number of major refinements, from rebuilt Equipment stations, powerups that behave better physics-wise, tuning to patrols, a rebuilt scoring rubric that more richly reflects ways one can play excellently, and just a top to bottom coat of polish on things. With a level this big, I'm sure that there'll be a significant post-release tuning phase, as we fix various things, tweak progressions, difficulty, cover volume, and add further quality of life changes. We look forward to tweaking things over the coming weeks with you all! Well enough rambling for now. Get in their and play! We'll see you all soon. Have a WONDERFUL weekend. -Anton [h3]MOD USERS:[/h3] Please not that this update makes BIG changes to Take & Hold's codebase. If you run Take & Hold Tweaker, or any other mod that touches the mode, you MUST go update it now, or disable your current modlist, or the mode will SUPER break. Check out the H3VR discord modding channels if you need help finding the very latest versions!
