Discord Rich Presence has been added into the game. It will now show what level and what best time a player has in Discord. Let me know if you encounter any issues with this.

Medals will be added to the Presence soonish.

You might have noticed that VThree is looking a little different today. That's because, since the last update, the entire game has been written.



So, why?

Because the old version wasn't what VThree should be. It should be lean, fast, and run on just about anything. And now it does.

Where before there where FPS issue even on upper end hardware, now in Fast mode you'll see ~70-100 FPS on a Geforce 750M (!)

This did come with a cost, though. It's missing a lot of what was in the game before, and there are only just over half as many levels. But with this new base, a better architecture, and a new approach, new levels, features, and integrations will proceed faster, and with less issues.

So grab the update, hop in the game, and hit up the community Discord to let me know what you think. Good or bad - I'm listening.

The date of the upcoming November update was mistakenly indicated to be on November 11th. It's actually the 13th. Sorry about that everyone, I don't even know what I was thinking when I wrote the 11th.

The next V3 update will drop on November 11th. The game has been ported into the latest engine version, and made a big shift in both art and play directions.

I think you'll be pleased with the next update, and the direction it takes the game. Thank you all for being so chill about the pace of dev. It's on track to leave Early Access on the one year anniversary of it's release.

The 3rd new map under the weekly releases, Parkland is an open area with a variety of platforms and walls to test and practice your skills on. Take your time and reach all the peaks without the distraction of goal times or leader boards.

This weeks new map is a bit different than last weeks, or what you'll see in the upcoming releases. It's designed to help collect data on play style so that the finalization of the controls, jump distance, etc can be completed in the next couple weeks.

It's entirely made up of small platforms, with a switch back after collecting the GravPulse you'll need for the longer jumps. The next release will back back to the typical style, thanks for participating in the new map!

With the v.04 release weekly new maps were announced, and the first is Assaun. Set in the Egypt series, Assaun is a fast map that starts with a big drop requiring tight air control, leading to a labyrinth of wall runs.

Restart Steam to trigger the update and get a time on the Leaderboards!

tl;dr big update, level editor, at least one new map every week starting now.

Where's v.03?! v.03 rolled trickled out as a series of tiny incremental updates, and so as a version number it has been skipped.

v.04 marks a major shift for the next four weeks. In addition to the myriad changes, moving forward the focus for now will be on adding content, features, and maps. The core play has become more stable, and it's time to grow the player base. Patches will continue to be pushed regularly, most without any fanfare, and a new map will hit every week.

If you're still reading you probably only care about what's new here, right now, yeah? Fine fine, here we go.

The Early Access roadmap calls for a v.02 release today, and that's what we have - plus a new map! Changes went smoothly and quickly enough that the new map, Zephyr was even able to be added into this build.

A number of the v.02 changes were released early in the March 4 patch - pushing changes early and often so you can all benefit as quickly as possible is more important than less frequent monolithic updates.

Made pickup light dynamic

Exposure
Corrected shadow length

Temple
Fixed glitch where player would fall out of the map
Fixed water not slowing player

Multiplayer
Limited players to one score position on the Server boards
Leaderboards are now per-server, paving the way towards standalone community server builds
Player names are now correct and no longer show the local client's name

Singleplayer
Fixed incorrect firing speed

Misc
Added new map, Zephyr
Added ability to show help on loading screens (not currently in use)
Added new Russian Language store page translation (thanks Delone)
Base for level editor in place but not live
Added sound-effect volume control as this was in high demand :)

The rest of the major changes implemented since v.01 as part of the v.02 stretch are posted here http://steamcommunity.com/games/567320/announcements/detail/583618556130666439

So rad. This is been a road getting here, and a ton of awesome people have supported getting it this far.

Going forward there are a ton of new things in the pipe; level editor, full translations (partial translations are complete, check your language settings), a whole bunch of new levels, and so on. You can see the roadmap for Early Access here https://trello.com/b/0Jr2Xyf6/vthree-public-roadmap .

The future of this game and how it grows is a community effort. The official VThree Discord is here https://discord.gg/qF36Ft7 - it's active, growing, and super chill Come join us!

Thank you all again for your support, better get back to work on the first update.

Cheers!

With the Early Access release coming up so soon, it seemed like a good idea to get the road map for V3 up and out there for everyone to be able to see and even contribute to.

Trello is being used for the Roadmap, and you can find it here https://trello.com/b/0Jr2Xyf6/vthree-public-roadmap . The roadmap lays out dates for the major milestone releases, tracks bugs, and sets a date for exiting Early Access.
