It's very close to being ready for release! [i]There are far too many new additions, changes, and bug fixes to list here, but some of the highlights of the upcoming update include:[/i] [h1]A Giant Minigun![/h1] A reward for 100% completing everything there is to do in the game. Fans of games like Resident Evil 4 and Metal Gear Solid will be familiar with this kind of over powered fun-first post-game item.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28349140/0f513b0c6f5b3ecac9e0aa81feba6ef1c814cfea.png[/img] [h1]Steam Achievements[/h1] These will encourage players to step out of their comfort zone and try some of the more unusual play styles or activities COMPOUND has to offer.

This automatically goes away once the player is used to each weapon.

This really helps with immersion and weapon physicality.

It has an especially dramatic effect at cleaning up the blurriness when viewing surfaces at very shallow angles. Please pay no mind to the chunky aliasing of these images, they are a side effect of my screenshot tool. When viewed in the headset, all edges will have clean antialiasing.

Please stay tuned for a release date announcement!
