Northwest Championships 2017 – Match Win

Posted by lokeuei on June 25, 2017
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment

Through some visualization, concentration and luck, I managed to edge out a Match win at the Northwest Championships at Renton Fish and Game club. This was a points match that counted as two matches.

Had two stages where I lost concentration and the resulting penalties hurt. Need to keep working on the mental aspect of this game.

Thanks again to the DownZero crew for setting up this match. Had a great time squadding with ElPrez (Mike Foley) and the NROI Director (Troy McManus).

Sorry I have been radio silent for a while. Just trying to keep trudging along with building more updates to the game. I made some breakthroughs with the Texas star which was bugging me for the longest time. I also managed to get it working for the Oculus Rift and Touch controllers.

Apart from that, here’s the laundry list (changelog) of items that was worked on for this release:

– Oculus Rift & Touch controller support
– Major / Minor Scoring
– Wheelgun & Bren Ten!
– Fixed scoring issue
– No penalty mikes
– Working physics based Texas Star
– Show gun specs, divisions in main menu during gun selection
– Modeled RMR on Glock 17 for Carry Optics
– Change G17 mag capacity to 17 to support new CO rules
– Fix menu brightness in some stages
– Audio bugs
– Allow adjusting of start position due to room size or preference.
– 180s don’t DQ immediately, you have 2s increasing warning period.
– Flood lights on hand and weapon lights on all guns in Night stage
– Adjust timer fonts
– Improved quality of scene (big change)
– Re-position player when starting course
– Make bullets less visible
– Model different bullet-holes based on caliber
– Fix 180 bug when drawing gun
– Professional RO voice
