VR high performance volumetric fog is looking great! Rock solid at 90+ fps. The shader reuses SH coefficients from the baked lighting volumes, so there’s negligible memory increase and supports any number of baked lights in the volume. Lots of potential with this effect!

Thank you for all the support on the overhaul devlog! Crunch Element started as something I just wanted to play with friends in college but it didn’t exist. Seeing it grow with a real community behind it is surreal. VR isn’t an easy space to survive in without big funding, but I’m committed to pushing this forward and documenting the ride as I go!

New videos dropping soon! An update recap showing all the new CE features as well as some behind the scenes devlog deep dives.

VR needs destruction. Back in college, the game I wanted didn’t exist, so I set out to build it. Crunch Element just got its biggest update yet. After a year of reworking it from the ground up, it now features: ✅ Fully networked destruction in VR. ✅ Weapon customization and progression. ✅ New breaching gadgets, armor, and cosmetics. ✅ Overhauled tactical AI with multiple enemy types. ✅ 100% precomputed lighting for high performance chaos. ✅ All new levels, NPC transmissions, and mastery rankings. ... and MUCH more. Proud to finally share this!

C4 is getting a rework to be timed-based! This offers new breaching opportunities that are unique from the clacker-based wall charge. #madewithunity #vr #vrgaming

Thanks everyone who's tested the experimental branch so far! I'm putting together all the feedback and will take care of the highest priority stuff first 🙏 Great to be back!

New FPV missile prototype will be going out in the next update! It works with destructibles too! It was definitely one of my favorite items to make. #vr #vrgaming

Spent all day tweaking weapon recoil and overall aiming stability. Aiming feels much more reliable and less janky now. It's easy to overlook all these little things that add up!

Saturday recording session in progress! New music is coming to CE in both the new hideout and in combat!

Rest in pieces! VR destruction in uniquely lit environments is feeling really good! Smoke, debris, and even explosions themselves react to environment lighting 🤯 #vr #virtualreality #vrgaming

Implemented some puzzles for the new update! Excited to hear feedback once testers get their hands on it. #vr #virtualreality

New keycard system is feeling good! Lots of potential with this system #vr #VRGaming

Destruction in VR never gets old #vr #vrgaming #madewithunity

Built a custom shader for all the screens that can render anything in a physical looking way! They even show pixels and fingerprints if you look close enough! This was a fun one to make and the detail really shines in VR. #vr #vrgaming #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday

One of those subtle changes that feels great: bullet penetration now works on glass and other thin surfaces.

Had a blast implementing the new scanner attachment! It acts as a small minimap showing nearby entities via a rail-mounted attachment. I'm becoming a big fan of diegetic UI for VR!
