| Working from home on Budget Cuts and Garden of the Sea during covid times. Rate our setups?? | 2020-05-23 | Since we are a software company, we are able to support our devs in working from home during these times by providing software and hardware to help bridge the distance that we are all experiencing now. That way we can continue to provide games and experiences for people to explore worlds in VR that take them beyond their home. During this period, we are very happy that we've been able to release content updates to Garden of the Sea, and performance patches to Budget Cuts and Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/37700539/5821884194654dd783e7319bc1995c07d6a1a5b4.jpg While it hasn't |
| Hi everyone! We are Neat Corp! | 2020-05-06 | We are a group of VR gamedevs that live and work in Stockholm, and we now have a Creator Page on Steam! (wow yay!) https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/37700539/926c798e996d40fadf133223abc46f41713ae220.jpg We believe that by being excellent to one another and embracing all the weird quirks that make us human we can create some neat games (hah see what we did there?), and hopefully have some fun while doing so! There's a huge passion for Virtual Reality at our studio, and many of us are die-hard tech enthusiasts who can't wait for the latest&greatest hardware to test and play with. Although we've all individually |
| Neat Corporation & Fast Travel Games proudly presents: The Performance Update | 2020-04-27 | A couple of months back, we started a project to bring the performance of Budget Cuts (BC1) up to Budget Cuts 2 (BC2) parity. We soon realized that the most effective way to do this is to port the game to the BC2 codebase. This means that efforts made for one game can now very easily benefit the other, so BC2 also receives a hefty performance update “free of charge”! (Pictured: a typical workday at Neat Corporation) During the development of BC2 we made significant advancements regarding performance compared to BC1. Despite this, some users were reporting bad performance, so we started digging even further for this update. The primary problem |
| MUTATORS UPDATE - with Smooth Locomotion | 2020-01-20 | Major feature update for Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency is out now! The update introduces a custom settings panel called “Mutators”. The biggest news here is the highly requested Smooth Locomotion mode. This lets players traverse the game in a similar manner to classic FPS games, using the left analog stick (or grip buttons on Vive controllers). Other features include bullet time, the ability to use enemy guns as well as gravity modifiers and much more. Combine freely among the Mutator settings and you are in for some really intense and truly hilarious gameplay moments! https://media.giphy.com/media/h7WyKJDQSynWpWhcOK/giphy.gif The Mutator |
| Budget Cuts 2 Mission Insolvency December Patch 2019 | 2019-12-20 | December 2019 patch out now! Bugs are being squashed at a rapid rate, all major ones being fixed in this update! Full changelog at the bottom, but here are a couple highlights: Checkpoints no longer save player as dead: A combination of a slight delay when checkpoints save the player's state, as well as the fact the game could save progress after death lead to a lot of players loading a save only to find themselves in the red death room, unable to progress. No more! Unfortunately if you have a save game with the game in this state, you will need to select "Restart" from the menu to replay that level from the beginning, atleast knowing it won' |
