Latest Steam announcements

• Blastworld has shut down for now. - 27 August 2020

  Hey, You've probably seen the announcement in-game but if not, Blastworld has shut down. Reason for this is that we ran out of money, including our own savings and had to get day jobs. During the couple of months this game was online it saw around 27K players which is cool considering $0 was spent on marketing. We know there would be lot of potential in it and we might try again with something similar in 2021 when the Quest store opens up more for indie developers. Maybe we somehow can figure out some kind of a marketing budget by then as well. Let us know if you know any wealthy people :) If you have bought Gold accound and want it refunded, contact us at contact (at) hipfirevr.com Over and out Team Hipfire

• Bomb Defusal Game Mode, New Map + Bots! - 2 December 2019

  Enter Dusty, inspired by the classic Counter-Strike map. But instead of following the usual routes, why not climb over the roofs or scale the walls? The map is ripe for planting those pesky bombs which you can now do with the new game mode! In case there's no one online at the same time, you can hone your foam-flinging skills on our new bots in Skanktown. Keep in mind they're still the first iteration and will get a lot better, but they will give you a run for your money for sure!

• Update: Smooth locomotion, leaderboard and much more! - 24 September 2019

  We heard an outcry from you guys about the lack of smooth / thumbstick locomotion. So we listened! Major features: "Classic" thumbstick locomotion added as a 3rd option beside comfort and arm swinger. You can now climb even with weapons in your hand by using the grip buttons. The old style of having empty hands and gripping with triggers still works though for those who prefer it! Make it matter with our new Leaderboard! Each match with at least 2 vs. 2 players (equal teams) will give you an increase or a decrease in Skill Points depending how you do. Works only in Skanktown at the moment. Coming up soon is Ranks! Small stuff: - Fixed gun / hand positions in Oculus devices. - Fixed pistol animations Go try out the new movement tweaks and tell us what you think!
