Note from dev :

I additionally bound the ability function to 3 on keyboard as well, because this control is broken on Steam Deck somehow. I will bind 3 to a button in the default Steam Input once I record some more Steam Deck gameplay for VU. I'll add that to this update post once I upload that video to YouTube. Apologies on the delay for this update. I'm removing the next update by counter to be kinder on myself. I do still plan on continuing fixes for some UI navigation and other various bugs to improve the experience of the game on Steam Deck. I'm still continuing the story of VU! Most of my attention will be towards making new issues of VU's sequel Spryward which is currently in early access. : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1862420/Spryward/

Note from Dev :

I was expecting to be done with VU by next weekend. I had a family member pass away this week and have to delay when VU leaves early access. I apologize for not having a continuation of the finale ready for this week. The delay will give me more time to work on the end of the game and continue to polish. My estimate is that VU will release on the weekend of the 25th now. Thank you everyone for your understanding. I hope you all have a good weekend.

What I've been working on :

+Reworked map Bluffs
I've completely overhauled the bluffs map. I went in and deleted all the old geometry. I started from scratch using tools and methods of building levels that I learned while working on VU. I tried to keep the spirit and continuity of the previous version of the map. Some areas were removed, but most areas were remade and replaced. The level is much more compact and optimized while still keeping the traversal experience similar.

Instead of picking a random item to spawn the loot drop system now goes through the AI manager. It will keep track of what loot has dropped in an instance to try and not repeat items, but also allow loot to be categorized in order of importance and selected randomly from each category.

Where have I been? :

I've been working on the last expansion for Apastron. Vacancy Unlimited is a game that takes place in the Apastron universe. For Apastron's last expansion Time of Crisis I decided to have Geoff and Spryward crossover. This event will have ramifications for the continuity for the entire Apastron universe. For the next few updates I'm going to be working on the Time of Crisis tie-in for Vacancy Unlimited. I'll be giving you the moment when Geoff and Spryward enter the crossover and when they come back. Once Geoff and Spryward return there will be a 3 month time skip as they return 3 months later. I'm really excited for how this will impact VU's story. If you're interested in seeing what Geoff and Spryward have been up to since I've been gone, please go check out Apastron Episode 3 Time of Crisis. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1264850/Apastron/

Increased number of hook shots in equipment drops. Adjusted all loot pools. Improved bullet wall detection in hopes of preventing bullet destruction while firing near a wall.
