| MULTIPLAYER TIMEOUT UPDATE | 2021-04-23 | Turns out there was a hidden timeout that was internal and I didn't know Set default timeout to 20 seconds Set timeout to 999 seconds if server is changing levels. This means both players have to load the level within 999 seconds. AI update in groups now - might help with disconnect issue we'll see what happens and if I keep this long term. |
| LEVEL LOADING UPDATE | 2021-04-22 | Reworked how levels load - hopefully helps with multiplayer disconnects + crashes Ear piece audio/ narration no longer affected by level reverb settings Subway level had floating tshirts riding the subway - turned them back into people |

| Fixes + New NPC + New Level | 2021-03-06 | New level called "Bosnian Winter" - I'm not entirely happy with it so I might remove it later but for now it show cases the new bolt action sniper and the new NPC skin Revamped AI skin randomization Increased Steam Time Out in CO-OP Added unique reverb to every level - gun shots should have nice reverb according to the environment |
| CO-OP HOTFIX | 2021-02-22 | Secret new feature was causing a bug in multiplayer - sorry. Bolt action behaves better, Co-op mode had an unknown bug where the other player would let go of an object but it would still be ungrabbable by you. |
| BOLT ACTION GUN + SCOPES + PUMP SHOTGUN | 2021-02-22 | Reintroduced pump action shotgun Added a bolt action rifle to the range Added framework for realistic scopes (try it out on the bolt action rifle in the range) Shooting range is no longer at an angle. |
| AI GUN PROFILE UPDATE | 2021-02-14 | Guns now have a unique "profile" that AI will use to figure out how the gun should be utilized. Fixed AI killing itself when reloading - whoops. Networking solution update - old versions are incompatible with new versions. Update your games! |
| OFFICIAL REDDIT PAGE | 2021-02-13 | Starting an official reddit page for news, gifs, and user content: https://www.reddit.com/r/CAEDES_VR/ |

| CO-OP OVERHAUL | 2021-02-04 | Full CO-OP Stability overhaul - CO-OP is now synchronized significantly better and de-sync should occur way less. Better gun sync. Better event sync. Better AI sync. Low health no longer dims the screen but tints the edges red. |
| CO-OP HOT FIX | 2021-01-19 | Other player's body is more reliable now on loading a level - should decrease the chance of this happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yfNOSNPTzc&feature=youtu.be&t=18s Player join sound and player leave sound added Fixed Mac-10 grip being funky Wounds no longer persist after respawning |
| CO-OP MODE RELEASED | 2021-01-18 | That's right - there's a brand new CO-OP feature in Caedes! Take on any level, even the tutorial, together with a friend! Also a new level has been released "Festival of Lights" - it's very challenging so I suggest taking it head on with a friend! How to play with a friend Insert the blue floppy disk Invite your friend (they must already be in game) Play Co-op! REMEMBER TO REPORT ANY BUGS! |
| WORKING ON A BIG UPDATE | 2020-12-09 | Hey guys, sorry it's taking me so long. I'm working on a big update and I'm really trying to get this out the door but I have to both create a bunch of new systems as well as rewrite some old ones and it's taking much longer than expected. Thank you for your patience! |
| UPDATE 3 | 2020-11-10 | Removed extra pistol from tutorial - whoops how'd that get there. New grab system for unimportant props - hands will auto conform to the shape of the object (not as accurate as manual posing which will stay for important props such as guns and other interact-ables) |
| UPDATE 2 | 2020-11-09 | Grabbing code is now much more reliable for both player and AI AI can now aim rifles and SMGs much better New method for detecting VR controllers which should fix an issue where VR HMD didn't match the controllers caused the game to be unplayable Tutorial now completely unskippable* |
| FIRST UPDATE | 2020-11-05 | Updated the calibration scene to be more visually fun/ pleasing. Extended the zone where the magazine can be put into the gun manually for pistols. Options menu now part of the tutorial. Index will now default to SQUEEZE rather than TRIGGER grip style. |
