Boneworks 1.4 - Handgun Time Trial

[@HairyHog77]

Please add more levels like Tuscany in the future, the open outdoor environment is really cool

[@FinnsterP]

SL0 is planning to do more stuff like that in their next games

[@HairyHog77]

@@FinnsterP I meant Boneworks specifically

[@BKFirst]

@@HairyHog77 Yeah, I agree. Open outdoor environments are awesome, something that was really lacking in Boneworks, most of the time I felt really enclosed playing through the story.

[@sebaprime6411]

Yeah, I love racing with shopping carts down cliffs

[@ThoraxetheImp]

I was actually hoping Tuscany would have its own arena survival option, would be a cool environment for it

[@Cyboar]

I'm an entry level dev in VR. Honestly, to see how you guys have developed over the years has really inspired me to push myself. Can't wait to see what you do next for the genre.

[@BlasterTheMaster]

How did you get started learning? I just got access to unity pro through the student pack thing and have no idea where to start but would like to pursue vr development

[@liamcallaghan5653]

@@BlasterTheMaster Check out Unity Learn, they're offering many of their tutorials for free during the pandemic.

[@centauridev]

@@BlasterTheMaster tutorials man. Follow one where they make a full game(nothing crazy, but still a game) You may not make something original. But you have your own game and you have learned how to use unity. That's a super great feeling! And it gets you hooked!

[@twenmod]

also just copy paste retype a tuturial from like brackeys and try to change some things to make it your own that makes you learn alot

[@jcarletto27]

Dancing null men was easily the funniest thing in boneworks

[@SlunkyBoi]

Most memorable part of the game imo, the music and the way they’re all synced as they come towards you was so sick. Weirdly gave me john wick vibes hahah

[@GodofLovers]

Probably my most memorable moment in boneworks.

The music in the time trial is a banger

[@youngblood5394]

[@Moosha_]

it wouldn't be the same without it, my adrenaline was through the roof.

[@versesZero]

[@EmgoFilms]

Next, you should add something similar to the pistol time trials but instead of trying to get through the environment as fast as possible, you try to stealth your way through the level, taking out nullmen one-by-one without being seen. Edit: After 3 weeks of trying I was finally able to beat the score set in this video with a time of 1m 36.69s

[@СергейБильмандо]

Sounds extremely boring

[@exaltx9406]

The sound should be important, you cant just assasinate someone with a gun, must be melee all the way

[@EmgoFilms]

@@exaltx9406 Yeah , for sure. The melee in boneworks is super satisfying and in my opinion, much more fun to kill with than any firearm. A mode taking advantage of the incredible fighting mechanics would for sure be a welcome addition.

[@wow4165]

We need a silenced pistol or even assault rifle

[@TwykztTreme]

They should add the duck season shotgun instead.

[@a_cowwithlegs]

Add more of these trails they are so fun. Or even add a level editor. But I don’t think the editor in VR would be good. Like a desperate steam application Boneworks Level Creator

[@joste77]

I think something like a Boneworks workshop would be really great!

[@Cheesepuff8]

Yeah it would be great if players could make their own levels or just trails

[@Clavus]

Boneworks is build on Unity. They could technically set up a template project for creating Boneworks content and you could use the matching Unity editor version to build content for it.

[@ITNoetic]

If you're asking for mod support, you may as well just ask them to make another game, because that's how much additional work it takes.

[@LiamS2005]

@ITNoetic Not nescessarily, they’re just asking for a level editor, and considering it’s built on Unity, like Clavus said, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make a template or similar. Most of the work is already there in Unity, if it was built on a unique engine, yeah, making a user friendly editor would be very hard, but Unity is much simpler to make stuff like that for. But yes, mod support would be awesome, it’s what keeps many games alive.

[@arathertallglassofwater1864]

Holy shit, this was SO much fun, this is what the fight/action scenes in the main game should have been like! I wish more vr games had crazy over-the-top gunfights like this, because even though stuff like the realistic combine fights in Alyx are cool, its just so much funner running around ziplining and shit.

[@Benzy670]

This is a rad video, this behind-the-scenes sort of interview was compelling and interesting. Love what y’all are doing, Brandon. Keep up all the great work! Can’t wait to see D give the time trial a go.

[@Nytra_]

At 7:42 when he accidentally removes the mag that he just put in... I felt that...

[@Xlxxl1999]

next we need a parkour trial

[@arathertallglassofwater1864]

That sounds like a nightmare with how bouncy and unprecise boneworks movement is

[@twistedfox9445]

@@arathertallglassofwater1864 imprecise, but also I've never had a problem with it, I love the climbing in boneworks games and they've apparently improved it further in this update.

[@arathertallglassofwater1864]

@@twistedfox9445 I just don't like how the running works, the climbing is fine, but I'm not a fan of how you have to accelerate and sometimes start off in a slightly skewed direction.

[@gamertherapyconsoleyoursel5804]

7:06 - TIL you can shoot the button to activate them. Holy shit you guys thought of so much.

[@Aurich88]

There's a button in the main game that you're "supposed" to do a whole puzzle to press. Saw a speedrunner just shoot it on his way and was like "oh my god, OF COURSE you can do that."

[@shahobiddinismoilov]

It's not like they spent time on thinking about things players might do, or thinking about specific object interactions, no, they didn't waste their time like that. They did something better. They created an ultimate system that handles everything, a system that correctly identifies results of any kind of action. For example, button needs pressure to be activated, and bullet has pressure, so it activates the button when hit. ANYTHING you can imagine works in Boneworks.

[@IamtheWV17]

Why did I never try that.... I've pitched crt monitors at buttons.... of course shooting them works 😅

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

I've been shooting buttons ever since in the sandboxes. When I need ammo, I'd just dump a mag of MP5 on the ammo dispenser button and have hundreds of rounds then.

[@BigManJD]

I loved how this update just unfolded. It was like a bonus level with everything I had looked forward to. You could really tell that you know how you wanted the level to be and knew how to do it.

[@Biggy_Jimothy]

Love the stuff that's going on here! It's so cool that you're telling us what's up instead of just throwing us in clueless. The new song is so good as well! The new pistol is my favorite, and overall, best update yet. Can't wait to see what else there is to come!

[@Lokoso7]

Absolutely amazing that you guys did something like Boneworks as an indie dev. Been following everybody for years and it makes me happy to see how far you guys have come!

[@rsfan24]

I just finished the story mode for Boneworks a few minutes ago. I gotta say, it left me with more questions than answers, but I loved it all the same. As a Videogame programming student, and one who wants to work with VR at that, I take so much inspiration from what you and the rest of SLZ are doing. 10/10 for sure.

Once you've played through the Handgun Box completely, I notice that there is a button which teleports you to the time trial course with the Omni-Projectors, but there seems to be no way of getting to the actual GUN RANGE. I think you should add a button next to the other one that teleports you to the shooting range so people can have access to that part of the map after finishing the entire map.

[@spencerbowen7500]

I just went through it and there is a way. Once you have finished the time trial, go through the double doors right after you get the node for Tuscany and keep going. It will take you back to the start of the handgun box and the gun range will be unlocked

[@scarecrow_yb]

I have some ideas for BoneWorks. First of all, revolvers and shotguns, they would be Amazing for BoneWorks. I also think that you should be able to change your character after the you beat the game. You would be able to stay Ford, but you could change your outfit instead of the weird tight suit. I also think that it would be Awesome to add another level. A new Fantasy land level, it would be much like Tuscany where your in a grassy field, but instead maybe you travel to the castle into the dungeon, that part is up to y'all. Although I doubt you should.

[@GuyInArmor]

We need a Dungeons & Dragons inspired VR game. We just need a few unit types to start: human, little goblins, big orcs, maybe some boar and wolves. The Dungeon Master would play entirely through a PC, not through VR. They'd have a map editor and the ability to place units, write text, control NPCs from mouse and keyboard. From their PC they'd have a DM console that overlooks everything. The players would be in VR and would do combat. Wouldn't even need to be too expansive at release. Would just be really fun to go on a few "We need you to kill this tribe of orcs" quests with the boys in VR
