This week\'s update focuses on fixes but also introduces a handful of new combination weapons to tier 4. The new weapons combine harpoon and grappling cannons with low accuracy cannons.

A number of changes and improvements have also been made to control groups. Many control groups now have more specific names and weapons like the new combination weapons will have extra text to describe which weapon the group controls.

Changes to automatic binding will now more commonly avoid overlaps even when your previous assignment to that category of control group would conflict. The new system favors assigning each weapon to its own control group over combining weapons into one control group so you may need to rebind more frequently if you tended to put your left and right weapon into the same group.

Variants of the new tracks include a large amount of cargo space, broadside auto cannons and a rear mounted rocket booster.

A large number of fixes and improvements for controller are also included in this update.

Some small quality of life features have also been added. The color of enemy attack indicators can now be customized to improve visibility according to your preferences.

2.9.1

Features

• Replaced the controller mini-menu with a new radial quick-menu. The radial menu is now opened with the key that previously opened the inventory and the inventory can now only be accessed through the quick-menu.

  [/*]

• Added the quick binding button to the controls interface on controller.

A new enemy Granvir archetype arrives this update. Sniper Granvirs now prowl in the edge of your visibility using new weapons and shoulder modules that extend their visibility beyond your own. The snipers will open fire from a drastically greater distance than other enemies firing at a much slower pace and showing their targeting indicator on your Granvir instead of their weapon.

All shops can now be access simultaneously by all players in a multiplayer game. This feature is the result of many small under-the-hood changes to how shops work over time. As with any big changes to how a core multiplayer feature works, be on the look out for desync. Fixing desync is always my highest priority and sharing any log files from sessions where it occurs can help me track it down.

Aside from the new sniper weapons and components, reactors can now receive enhancements when found in shops and mission loot. Reactor enhancements have a single tier and only appear with one enhancement. These enhancements provide small stat boosts including a 10% barrier heat cost reduction, a 10% dash heat cost reduction, a 20% melee damage boost, a 20% reload speed boost and a 10% top speed boost. Hopefully these enhancements can turn the typical dead loot of a same-tier reactor into something valuable when you find an enhancement that aligns with your build.

2.9.0

Major Features

• Added enemy Granvirs with long range weapons that will fire from an extreme range. The firing indicator will appear on your Granvir instead of on their weapon.

  [/*]

• All shops can now be accessed by multiple players at the same time instead of having to wait until the current shopper is finished.

  [/*]

Minor Features

• Added reactor enhancements. Reactor enhancements have a single tier and each reactor can only have one.

  [/*]

• Increased the range of most projectiles from 100 units to 200 units. Normal visibility range is roughly 100 units.

  [/*]

• Added a T2, T3 and T4 variant of the TC01 Scout. Higher tier variants boost visibility range.

  [/*]

• Added a the GL Oracle series to all tiers, a shoulder module that extends visibility range with a small cooling cost.

  [/*]

Balance

• Decreased the accuracy of pistols from 2 unit spread at 50 units to 3 unit spread at 50 units to set them behind the standard 2/50 spread of rifles.

  [/*]

  [/*]

Shield generators receive a major rework this update, overhauling them into a full defensive option now called barriers. Barriers block damage like before but can now be sustained for longer periods of time while building heat. Their cooldown has also been massively reduced to make them a reliable part of your builds.

Barriers should be capable of supplanting your dash as your main defensive tool at the cost of a module slot. While barriers are now as powerful as mobility, they have their own set of weakness that will shift your target priority. Melee attacks can be deflected but a single hit will put the shield on a longer than normal cooldown. Enemies utilizing sustained fire will also demand longer shield activation, incurring greater heat build up than a single dash would.

Remember that barriers are unlocked and added to the loot pool by completing Millennium Horizon (Campaign 2). If you decide to give them a try, let me know how they feel. Ideally, they are just as capable as a mobile set of legs while being a easier to use.

Additionally, a number of new difficulty settings have been added. Now that every existing function of difficulty can be controlled, settings that affect the game as a whole are the focus. The new Loss Effect setting allows you to replace permadeath with a reload from the start of the last rest. Ammo Usage allows you to crank down the resources management aspects of the game and reduce or completely eliminate the need for ammo in your campaign.

2.8.0

Major Features

• Reworked the shield generators and renamed them to barriers. Barriers now have a far shorter cooldown and apply heat while active. Barriers are active for a longer period of time and holding the control group can keep them active longer.

  [/*]

• Added a new difficulty setting, Loss Effect. This setting allows you to choose if losing the campaign allows loading from the last save or if the campaign must be restarted.

  [/*]

• Added a new difficulty setting, Ammo Usage. This setting allows you to increase or decrease the amount of ammunition used by firing weapons. At 0%, ammo is never expended and not required to fire.

  [/*]

• Added a new difficulty setting under Friendly Fire. Friendly fire can now be enabled for all attacks instead of just AoEs.

  [/*]

• Added a target dummy to all rest areas that can take unlimited damage and be locked on to.

  [/*]

Minor Features

• Added a tier 1 and tier 4 BB Bubble barrier.

  [/*]

• Added a new barrier variant to all tiers. The BH Halo series barriers lack top coverage but can remain active for a longer period of time.

  [/*]

• Added a new tier 4 barrier variant, the DB04 Sanctuary. The DB04 Sanctuary barrier has a longer cooldown and higher heat cost but projects a massive barrier than can protect multiple Granvir.

  [/*]

• Added a tier 1 barrier to the starting parts for all pilots in Millennium Front (Campaign 3) if Millennium Horizon is complete.

  [/*]

• Improved barrier visuals.

  [/*]

  [/*]

• Added a module ports stat to torsos.

  [/*]

Balance

• Added a small cooling rate bonus to some of the less mobile leg options and the tracks.

  [/*]

Fixes

• Fixed being able to apply part enhancements to parts that already have a higher tier enhancement in the same category.

  [/*]

• Fixed being able to reduce a part\'s mass below zero with lightweight modifications. Lightweight modifications that would reduce a part\'s mass below zero can no longer be applied.

  [/*]

• Fixed projectiles fired by a remote user\'s handheld weapons and armatures visually phasing through targets if the projectile hit a target very shortly after being fired.

  [/*]

• Fixed being unable to reload weapons in testing grounds without loaded ammo.

  [/*]

• Fixed the final boss reinforcement phase appearing on Hard instead of Extreme in Millennium Horizon (Campaign 2).

  [/*]

• Fixed hull and armor not recalculating when modifying a damaged part.

  [/*]

  [/*]

Hey everyone,

We hope you\'re enjoying all of the updates we\'ve been making to the game and we have tons more on the way. We just wanted to take a moment to ask if you\'d please nominate Granvir for the Better With Friends Award in the Steam Awards. Voting will continue until December 1st so be sure to cast your vote before then!

Thanks again and have a great day!

Custom difficulty arrives in this week\'s Granvir update! All gameplay settings tied to difficulty can now be adjusted from the new Custom difficulty level. Existing settings such as depots containing ammo, have also received new options to include larger ammunition stacks. A handful of new settings have also been added including toggleable shop access cost, Granvir modification cost and extra supply pod drops.

Custom difficulty presets for each existing difficulty can be utilized to provide a baseline to make adjustments from. Keep in mind a custom difficulty mirroring the effects of the same regular difficulty will not unlock difficulty based achievements but all other progress such as discovered parts and campaign completion will be recorded normally.

Let me know what custom difficulty settings you\'ll be using the most and what new settings you would like to see. Now that all existing difficulty features are adjustable, new modifiers can be prioritized.

This week\'s update directly tackles the roadmap item More Enemies. Millennium Company Granvirs can now be spotted utilizing hover jets. These new enemies will pop up into the air to gain a vantage point if their line of sight is obstructed. Three new enemy Granvir variants have been added across all escalation levels.

Hover jet torsos have also been minorly reworked to make them a little more useable.

One save per campaign will be maintained with singleplayer and multiplayer having their own set. Saves from before this update will automatically migrate into this new format. Multiplayer saves now require the related campaign to be selected to continue.

The part codex has also been added to the main menu and escape menu. The part codex allows you to view the description and stats of all parts you have found and track exact how many you have yet to find. Entrees in the part codex are updated when the item enters either your Granvir\'s inventory or your depot. Part picked up before this update should automatically register in the part codex.

The new torso can perform a rocket boosted leap on a 10 second cooldown and the new pistol fires a grappling projectile to quickly close the gap.

More light ammo weapons have also been added with a T3 version of the T4 BB03 Brawler and T1 and T2 wrist cannons armature. These new integrated weapon parts should help improve the accessibility of hybrid melee builds.

Some adjustments to parrying mechanics have also been made to improve its accessibility and effectiveness in melee. Melee damage during staggers will now reset the duration of the stagger extending it by up to 3 seconds. Enemies will also react to parries with a slight delay, making an early block a little more forgiving.

Hey pilots,

We're pleased to announce that Granvir: Zero Front is out now! We'll be deactivating the demo and the multiplayer playtest as Zero Front will take the place of both of these.

All progress from Zero Front carries over to the main game and you can even unlock a brand new part to use in Granvir when it launches if you beat the campaign! Be sure to leave a review if you enjoy Zero Front as that helps players find the game!

You can learn all about the new prologue game below.

Hey everyone, we're happy to announce our new free prologue game Granvir: Zero Front has hit the store. Zero Front is a free game that will feature a brand new mini-campaign with the prelude to the Millennium Horizon campaign in Granvir.

In Zero Front you'll play as the first response of the Resistance to the Millennium Company's invasion of Inheritance. It has all new campaign mechanics exclusive to the prologue even featuring multiplayer co-op.

Features

• Brand new prelude story to Millennium Horizon campaign

A barrage of bug fixes arrive this update targeting game breaking multiplayer bugs. If you've joined the multiplayer playtest and are experiencing issues, joining the Discord for a bug reproduction interrogation and to share your log file is the best way you can help me find a fix. If you just want to focus on the mech-on-mech action, all players restarting their game after a campaign is the best way to ensure stability.


Aside from the bug fixes, a number of changes targeting melee weapons has been done. While these changes likely bring down the overall power level of full-melee builds, the intention of the changes is to create more diversity across the catalog of melee weapons. If any pilots are braving campaign 1 without ranged weaponry, let me know how your attempts go after the changes.

0.14.12

Minor Features

• Added a 0-30% movement slow while attacking to all arms and melee weapons. The largest weapons like Lances and Axes have the greatest slow magnitudes and the lightest weapons like knives and shortswords have the lowest slow magnitudes.
• Added a 50-100 cooling rate reduction to laser bladed melee weapons and increased their damage by 15%.
• Reprioritized weaponized armature melee attack binding to allow the gun to use the left and right mouse buttons first.
• Expanded the mouse sensitivity range.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed carry over parts being wiped when you are destroyed during the final mission but your allies are able to complete it.
• Fixed a broken game state when joining a multiplayer game after losing connection to the host.
• Fixed the carry over part selection menu getting stuck on when losing connection to the host while it is open.
• Fixed the RB02 Frontrunner's rocket boost causing abnormal camera movement.
• Fixed the anti-air squad appearing on the first and final level.
• Fixed chainsword teeth rendering in fog of war.
• Fixed ammo in unequipped weapons being deleted when loading a save.
• Fixed held firearms not causing screen shake when fired.
• Fixed the drill lance drill being visible in fog of war.
• Fixed the payment due indicator showing the wrong amount when failing to make payments.
  

After two months of grinding away at all the new content and features of campaign 2, enough content (and stability) for a demo update has finally coalesced. The content of this update focuses on adding tier 3 variants of weapon types without one. The Drill Lance, Deadstar, Katana and Shredder all receive shiny upgraded versions.


Alongside these weapons, a new torso-leg pair has been added. This set is considered mostly experimental offering a massive leap in durability over its preceding tier 1 parts without significant scaling of mobility.

Welcome to another Granvir development update! Today we'll dive into the new features of Campaign 2 coming in Granvir's full release. Campaign 2 aims to approach the macro-game from a new angle by redefining the gameplay that links missions together.

New Parts

This week's small update targets the low variety of the early game loot pool. A new set of quadruped legs will be available with improved dash heat costs and better acceleration compared to the starting legs. Additionally, the ugly duckling of tier 1 torsos, the BR02 Reserve, has been visually reworked and given shoulder mount variants.


A small adjustment pass has also been made on difficulty, primarily focused on decreasing the difficulty on Normal and on multiplayer Hard. The Super Weapon has had its damage slightly reduced at all difficulties and the backup phase and unbreakable shield phase have been removed on Normal difficulty. Finally, the frequency of multiplayer enemy follower spawns has been reduced on Hard.

0.14.10

Added GPD01 Hauler legs, a new tier 1 quad leg option with higher neutral mobility and a slightly more heat efficient dash.
• Adjusted the model of the BR02 Reserve.
• Added back mount variants of the BR02 Reserve.

This week's small update focuses on multiplayer fixes and a variety of minor features while under-the-hood work progresses for the second campaign. A set of tier 1 upright legs has been added to inject some extra loot variety into the early pool. A small quality of life feature in inventory prioritization has been added to address issues magnified by the addition of holsters and the desire to keep your offhand open.


Finally, the attack animations of the lance have been updated to target the crosshair. If you like this style of attack control, let me know. The additional vertical control will eliminate the need for high/low attacks on weapons like the spear.

0.14.9

Minor Features

• Added BR03 Wayfinder legs, a new tier 1 upright leg option with a short dash but improved heat cost.
• Added sorting priorities to inventory operations that choose a container for you. Ammo will favor magazines, weapons will favor holsters and empty hand slots will be lowest priority.

A fresh batch Granvir components is available this update in both the Demo and Multiplayer playtest. Back holsters can be used for a massive versatility boost, enabling the rapid swapping of handheld weapons during combat. Holsters can carry and swap between most weapons but extremely large weapons such as lances cannot be stored.


The module pod is another back mounted component arriving this update. This new component supplies a single torso module port allowing for the installation of up to 3 special modules on a well equipped Granvir.

0.14.8

• Fixed floating rocks appearing when changing quality settings during a mission.
• Fixed camera clamp zones getting stuck on after a mission.
  

After a long delay to regular updates due to multiplayer development, a regular demo update has finally arrived! Multiplayer development has come a long way and now that more stable sessions than unstable sessions are being played, attention can finally be given to other aspects of the game. This update pushes out a swath of changes that piled up during multiplayer development and focuses on polish items like UI improvements and tweaks to existing parts.


To celebrate multiplayer development finally winding down, a public playtest where anyone can give it a try will be made available soon. This test is primarily to root out any sneaky bugs or oversights that undoubtedly exists so expect a slower roll out starting with invitations distributed through the official Discord server and full blown public access shortly afterwords.

0.14.0

Gameplay Features

• Replaced the tune-up option in the Industry region with the expert tune-up, a stronger version.

Another small update rolls out this week while work on longer term features goes on in the background. Chainsaw technology infects a second weapon with the arrival of the HC04 Sabertooth, a tier 3 two-handed rifle with a chainsaw melee option. The chainsaw attack has a short wind up but can interrupt a reload in a moment of desperation. Let me know if there are another other weapons you'd like to see combined with a chainsaw.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the HL02 Feather Lance having the wrong item icon.
  

This week's update dips back into adding new weapons to the battlefield. The CS01 Shredder is a new type of one-handed melee weapon with a chainsaw blade. Instead of having an attack chain, landing a hit and holding the attack control will build heat and grind your target into mulch. The SB02 Stoutsword is a plainer armament bringing the vanilla shortsword format to the second item quality tier.

If you get your hands on a Shredder in the field, let me know how you like it and what weapon formats you'd like to see enhanced with chainsaw blades.

0.12.0

Major Features

• Added the CS01 Shredder, a new tier 2 one-handed melee weapon with a chainsaw blade.
• Added the SB02 Stoutsword, a new one-handed tier 2 melee weapon similar to the existing tier 1 shortsword.

After a longer than usual delay, version 0.11.0 of the Granvir Demo is live. This update focuses on adding some extra enemy variety with new small enemies, new enemy Granvirs and improved weapon usage for existing enemies.

The first of the new small enemies is a missile truck that will bombard enemies from within outposts. The truck can fire far further than it can see and relies on allies to fire at maximum range.

The second enemy, a small combat vehicle, functions similar to the spider drones but fires a higher damage opening salvo and weaker followup attacks. This enemy is far more durable than the spider drones but can still be handily crushed under foot.

If you encounter these enemies on the battlefield, let me know how it felt to fight them. Hopefully they can provide a different experience than existing enemies.

0.11.0

Major Features

• Added a new small enemy, a long range missile truck that fires from within enemy outposts.

• Fixed weird lighting artifacts on some buildings and structures.
• Fixed shoulder weapons not playing reloaded or no ammo sound cues.
• Fixed some shop credits costs missing the credit label.
• Fixed joysticks and virtual joysticks causing the Granvir to move and break certain UI elements.
  

This week's update adds a wave of new Granvir parts to round out the catalog. The DB02 Crocodile torso sports the first flamethrower, a short-range heat-based ranged weapon. Jaw arms also further round out the weaponized armature category offering a middle ground between punches and pile-bunkers. Look forward to a combination of the two in future updates.

New parts aside, the RHX leg series has been reworked to provide a continuous agile dash similar to the existing rocket dash but with far more control. This new extreme form of mobility is intended to offer an alternate option to low-cost long-range dash legs for those seeking extreme mobility.

The part market economy also receives some touch ups with earlier access to the specialized vendors and some high impact bug fixes. The weapon and component vendors are now both available in the starting region, allowing players interested in assuming massive debt to more quickly abandon their starting parts. Additionally, the quality of parts in the specialized vendors have been improved to help balance out a fix for them not charging hours to purchase.

Major Features

• Added the DB02 torso, a tier 2 torso with a built in flamethrower.

• Added new "Continuous Boost" dash type to the RHX series legs.
• Added a settings option to disable controller input.
  

Adjustments

• Improved the item tier available in the weapon and component vendor.
• Decreased the loot level of half the items in the black market.
• Dashing while airborne allows leg alignment to the dash direction mostly affecting the AX01 Predator Pounce.
• Berserker plumes will reset their cooldown at the start of missions.
• Added arm aim adjustment to the lance set attacks to give the tip a more reliable position.

The latest Granvir Demo update is live bringing a massive rework to the fog of war visuals. The pitch black fog covering unexplored areas is all cleared up and replaced with an atmospheric fog that fades in over a much longer distance. Hopefully these visuals are a bit more pleasing and can help improve navigation through the large and less open levels.


A new flavor of weapon arrives this update with the addition of two handheld shotguns. These weapons fire a large burst of inaccurate projectiles and have a shorter effective range than most melee weapons. Look forward to shotguns invading other weapon platforms like shoulder and wrist cannons in future updates.

0.9.0
Major Features

• Removed the pitch black fog of war effect obscuring parts of the map that have never been seen.
  

• Added the SG01 Huntsman and SG02 Widow, two new handheld shotguns.

Version 0.8.0 of the Granvir Demo is live bringing a huge list of new features including a day/night cycle, two new melee weapon types and many quality of life features. Check out the full changelist below or dive right into the demo!


The new day/night cycle adds a smattering of environmental variety on top of an additional means for melee focused builds to shorten engagement ranges. Spending hours at rest and traveling to different region types will progress the time of day. Smart selection of regions and the occasional early departure can be used to keep the time of day at a time most compatible with your build.


Two new sets of heavy hitting melee weapons have also been added between a series of 3 two-handed axes and 3 wrist mounted pile bunkers. The axes bring two-handed melee weapons to lower loot levels. The pile bunkers offer a burst oriented melee option that can easily pivot into a build that requires the arm two wield a weapon. The lowest rarity pile bunker also improves early game access to effective melee as it can be accessed by upgrading a starting arm at the mechanic.


Shiny new features aside, the commitment to fixing bugs and smoothing out rough edges continue. Big quality of life improvements available this update include improved bombardment indicators and a new shop interface to better organize large available inventories.

0.8.0

This week's update to the Granvir Demo brings rain storms to Inheritance. During campaigns, a storm will sweep across the region map, changing the weather for missions caught inside.


Missions in the rain will impact the visibility range and cooling rate of all Granvirs. These modifiers synergize well with melee oriented builds, shortening the gap to close at the start of fights.


Besides this major feature, a number of quality of life changes have been made to help ammo heavy builds quickly understand their supply situation. Ammo widgets displaying each weapon's current reserves are displayed at rest areas and the munitions vendor is presented outside categories.


0.7.0
Major Features

• Added a storm that moves across the region map changing the weather of missions inside. The weather within the storm reduces visibility range, increases cooling rate and increases bombardment inaccuracy.
  

• Added an ammunition display to the rest area.
• Expanded the window size of the vertical shop menu.
• Elevated the munitions vendor to be visible outside of activity categories.
• Small performance improvements during missions.

A new shoulder part, Berserker Plumes arrive this update as part of an ongoing plan to improve the effectiveness of melee only builds. Berserker Plumes are heat management shoulder modules that vent a large amount of heat when heat reaches extreme levels. This new part gives melee only Granvirs a powerful part option for filling any open shoulder ports.

On top of the new parts, many existing parts have gained melee damage reduction to help them tough out a brawl. Finally, most high rarity legs have had their dash heat cost reduced to free up the amount of heat available for swinging melee weapons and escaping reactor explosions.

The melee only attention won't stop here so keep an eye out for future updates. Additional changes will target melee from a macro-game perspective giving pilots new ways to maximize melee effectiveness when planning campaigns.

0.6.0
Major Features
