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.
0.14.11

Major Features

Added the CM04/p Brightstar, a tier 3 version of the CM03/p Deadstar. Added the CS02 Shredder, a tier 3 version of the CS01 Shredder. Added the KN04 Brilliant Edge, a tier 3 one or two handed melee weapon. Added the HL03/D Drill Lance, a tier 3 version of the HL02/D Drill Lance. Added the GT01 Whirlpool, a tier 3 weaponized armature with a magazineless rotary cannon. Added the GT01 Tank, an extremely durable tier 2 torso with high mass and reduced turn speed. Added the GT01 Giga, an extremely durable but slow set of tier 2 legs.

Minor Features

Reworked the spear attack animations to target the crosshair. Removed the low attacks from the spear in favor of the crosshair tracking attacks.

Bug Fixes

Fixed not being able to paint regions on the RH02ss Starling torso. Adjusted the cost of some parts to match their rarity. Fixed some typos in part names. Fixed controller navigation issues on the rest menus. Fixed being unable to change tab menu in the settings with a controller during a campaign. Fixed a bug where the drill lance would be unable to make attacks. Fixed the Deadstar not firing its energy wave.

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.

Home Base

At the highest level, one of the largest changes in Campaign 2 is the focus on a home base. After a mission, instead of visiting the local outpost, you will return to your home base and begin staging for the next mission. At the start of a campaign, the home base has few features but can be improved and specialized by spending credits, hours and manpower,

Projects

Projects are a new mechanic that allow you to spend your resources on improving your home base. Familiar features such as the component and weapons vendor can be accessed and improved through this system. Additionally, entirely new outpost functionality such as manufacturing can be unlocked and cultivated. Not all projects will apply to the functionality of your home base, some can enhance your power on missions with Granvir backup or artillery support.

Coastline

Alongside a new campaign will come an entirely new set of mission environments. The first region we'll focus on is the Coastline Region. Coastline is the first environment you'll have access to as your campaign begins and is home to a large settlement in need of liberation and a coastal battery warding away resistance support. In regions without extreme cliffs, your Granvir can dip their toes in the beach's water providing a small boost to cooling rate while reducing movement speed.

New Parts

A new wave of Granvir parts will also arrive with Campaign 2. New parts will round out existing options across the tiers and form a tier 4 of powerful new parts. As the final part of this update, we'll dive into a few highlights of the upcoming parts.
The deep magazine of the Squall mounted cannon will be available to back mounts and your Granvir's grippers with a new high firerate back mounted cannon and two-handed handheld firearm.
The CC02 Agent legs push mobility even further with waist-mounted boosters and set a trend for alternate waist-mounted functionality. Unlike back mounts on a torso, waist mounts are permanently integrated into their legs similar to the ventral guns on torsos.
Thank you for tuning in for this Granvir Development Update! Keep an eye our on Steam for more development updates to come.

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

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.
• Adjusted the lance attack animations to look better and roughly target the point under the crosshair instead of using attack style to stab high or low.
• Updated the description of Stock Metals to describe their secondary use.

Bug Fixes

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

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.

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

[ 2024-08-11 20:24:40 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

[ 2024-08-04 23:47:11 CET ] [ Original post ]

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. 0.10.0

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.

Minor Features

• 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 Major Features

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

• 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.
• Added text to the location feature description that mentions the black market is only available between threat 0 and 2.

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

• Added AW01 and AW02 Berserker Plumes. Shoulder mounted utility parts that quickly vent heat when heat levels reach 80%.

Minor Features
