Steam Community :: Into the Radius 2

Update 0.11.0 Beta 1

13 Sep

Hello explorers 👋
Welcome to our first major update! Just like with ITR1 major updates will undergo an open beta before going into full release. Below is an instruction on how to enter the beta if you’d like. And if you want to share feedback and bugs from the beta, please use the Beta 0.11.0 sub forum.

💠 To access the beta go to Steam, Select Into the Radius 2 game, Manage>Properties>Betas> select “active-beta”. The beta has its own save folder (%Documents%/My Games/IntoTheRadius2) and the saves will be compatible with the live version, once 0.11.0 fully releases. You’ll need to copy your saves from the beta folder.
💠 Be sure to remove any installed mods before playing. Otherwise you might encounter issues due to incompatibility.

First beta thoughts.

Just did a small session last night. I copied my saves over. I was in the forest, sort of in that middle peninsula area that juts out into the river. I had cleared the area and was making my way back to that road that runs along the bottom of the map when I had saved. When I loaded in, all the mimics had respawned and I was getting mowed down by them and a bunch of spawns. Thankfully after reloading I could just run immediately and not get chased. I had already cleared out the Peninsula map, so I want...

Beta 0.11.0

[v0.11.0 Beta 1] Floating half-eaten candy bars

So it's not the most critical bug, but if I ever finish eating one of the chocolate bars, I can return to the area after a map change and, more often than not, find that half of the chocolate bar floating in midair at about the point where I ate it. Maybe the game is misinterpreting the empty wrapper as the half-finished bar on load?...

Dev Diary // The Upcoming Update and More

23 Aug

Hello explorers!
Since the Early Access launch a month ago, we've rolled out two patches with a bunch of bug fixes and minor improvements – 0.10.1 (a quick follow-up with 0.10.2) and 0.10.3. So, what are our plans moving forward?

First and foremost, we’ll try to release at least two content updates before the New Year. After each of these, there will likely be patches with various fixes. We’ll continue to publish dev diaries and questions to ensure we take into account opinions not only on what’s already been released but also on what’s still in development.

Our team is currently focused on four main tasks.

Work on the Upcoming Update

First of all, in update 0.11.0, you'll find large ammo boxes. They’ll take up more space and have a greater impact on your loadout, but they’ll hold significantly more rounds.

We're also putting a lot of attention into refining the existing chest rigs. We've added numerous small improvements to make them even more user-friendly.

Right now, we’re also working on the armor mechanic and armor vests. We won’t speculate on how many will be included in update 0.11.0 – the most important thing is that we’re creating a technical foundation that’ll allow us to introduce several types of armor in the future.

We're developing the hunger mechanic, which will require you to replenish it by eating food. Crackers and other foods will become important resources.

We continue to enhance our system for spawning various entities in the Radius locations – enemies, anomalies, artifact nests, and loot.

We're also working on game accessibility. We plan several improvements for left-handed players, as well as adding difficulty settings.

We’ve received a lot of feedback expressing dissatisfaction with the artifact detector being fixed to the forearm slot of the dominant hand. To allow you to use this slot as you see fit, we’ve decided to detach the artifact detector from this slot and from the player entirely. Starting with update 0.11.0, it will become a regular item: you can place it in any slot, lose it, or buy a new one at the Supply Depot.

You shouldn’t expect any new weapons in 0.11.0, but you can count on a couple of extended magazines.

Additionally, we’ll refine the interfaces of multiple Committee devices, and the Radius locations will be filled with new details and items.

Also, in 0.11.0, there’ll be a massive number of changes to gameplay settings: enemy behavior, anomaly and loot placement, missions, balance, and economy.

Work on Subsequent Updates

Simultaneously, we’re working on features that’ll not be released in 0.11.0 but in future updates.

For now, we can reveal that we’re prototyping and playtesting new enemies and anomalies within the team, which are designed to fill gaps in the current sets. We plan to release them individually to fully develop each one.

We’re also working on the full implementation of the Tide, and we’ll share more details about this later, in a dev diary of course ;)

Work on the next Location

This is very long-term, so it definitely won’t be ready this year or even at the beginning of next year.

The new location is meant to be noticeably different from the ones already released, both in gameplay and visuals. We want to take enough time to develop its concept, prototype it, and create new assets for it.

Work on the Technical Foundation

All updates will include numerous under-the-hood changes that aren’t visible to the player but are necessary for the game to function and evolve. With each new feature, the system becomes more complex. And of course, with each update, we’ll be fixing bugs and working on the stability of co-op mode.

Please note these are our current plans, and they may change. If that happens, we’ll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, we’re eager to hear your thoughts on the plans above. And let us know what else you’d like us to share in future diaries.

See you in the Radius!

Early Access Review

this game is already amazing and has potential to be one of the best VR games in terms of interactivity and immersion - buying into it this early on might not pay off immediately but as it continues to get updated i hope it'll blossom into something better and better!

however i did just spend the better parts of 30 minutes climbing up a log to get to a floating attic, navigating the jankiest collision box ever recorded in mankinds history only to get invisible walled right as i climbed up the ladder into the attic. devs, pls put something up there.... it was a heartbreaking moment for me. love the game

Early Access Review

The original game was a lot of fun, and the guns felt good. In this sequel, they just plain dont.. The aim is all over the place, they have introduced this ridiculous 'sway' anytime you move, half the time they do not hit when they should, the hand position is just....off, at least on index, overall the gunplay in this game is a lesson in frustration. and im a dang good shot both in VR and in real life(zero issues in the first game) . They have also appeared to have removed a lot of the mystery and curiosity from the original game. its like they have no idea why it was fun.
