• VIRVIUS Update (Feb 6th 2026)-Episode 1 Build v3.1.3 - 7 February 2026

  Log - 02/06/26 Notes: Happy New Year folks! its been a long time since an update was made and I sincerely apologize in the delay as of late. The project is still in full development as Virvius reaches its 5 year development mark! This update was dedicated to trying to improve Virvius's gameplay and performance as there were continuous problems (mainly with level 6) that caused issues of proceeding further in the game. Good news is that I have found some issues with physics, geometry and coding that caused the lack of FPS in the game but there is still more improvements to be made. Fixing these issues in level 6 also applied to the rest of the levels in episode 1!I have made a hard decision to keep \ as the performance update has helped immensely. I implemented a level layering system that can shut off layers of the level so they're not rendered in the background. Though, the layout of t…

• VIRVIUS Update (June 5th 2025)-Episode 1 Patch 2 v3.0.7 - 5 June 2025

  -Fixed problems with Bullet holes not appearing on angle or ceiling surfaces. -Fixed issue with spiker cannon shooting frozen bullets causing FPS spikes. -Changed appearance of metal crates. -Bug with Episode 1 boss not spawning enemies causing an index error. -Wooden crates in level 9 had water projection. -Soft lock in level 6 when going up elevator damaging player and not going to upper area of the Acid/lava station room.

• VIRVIUS Update (June 1st 2025)-Episode 1 Patch v3.0.6 - 1 June 2025

  Log - 06/01/25 Notes: This is a major patch as it includes fixes to the games physics time and moving objects. As you may have noticed for a while, the game stutters when going up or down elevators as well as rail platforms while using the weapon wheel to slow down time. This has been an on going issue since the alpha builds and I'm happy to finally have addressed the issues. It took a lot of thinking and reworking on how the fixed time step functions in the game so its variable based on monitor HZ and frames per second. Changing the fixed delta time affected major parts of the game which includes bullet force for the player weapons, enemies and the games intro. This patch also includes fixing the look of the ultra shotgun/rail gun and weapon recoil animations when the weapon is centered on the screen. Other things I worked on are fixing the Delusion enemies delayed death and damage ani…

• VIRVIUS Update (May 18th 2025)-Episode 1 Build v3.0.3 - 18 May 2025

  Log - 05/18/25 Notes: Everyone, thank you for your patience in the development of this release! Over the past year, the development was heavily focused on the community as well as endless playtesting by friends and play testers alike. The major result was laggy, non performant, buggy gameplay with poor textures. I'm happily to announce better, smoother gameplay, optimized level models and items and new textures that have changed the atmosphere of the game as well as fixing a years worth of bugs. I want to mention that I had changed the location of the games save files in order to fix a few problems of the game, keep in mind that the older save files can still be booted but may not run or will cause issues when playing the game and will no longer be supported. Please view below the new changes with build 3.0.3. Everyone who has (played or thinking about) the game, plays a major part in t…

• Back from the dead! - 6 May 2025

  Hey folks! I know it's been a long time and I sincerely apologize for the late updates. As a sole proprietor of the project, there has been a lot of life events that have caused ups and downs on progress but great news is that, I've been working ever so vigorously on the project since last year on every bit of free time that I have access too. The project has made massive progress and I wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to play Virvius and sharing your amazing feedback on the project in the discussions forum. With funding I managed to invest into the project to give it a much better texture design of the game. There's so much to do it's overwhelming! I am very pleased with the work but overall extremely happy with the project thus far in the last 4 years! Within the next couple months I will be pushing an update that will overwrite the old build on steam. I will need every…

• Virvius Update (May 8th 2024)-Early Access Patch v6 - 8 May 2024

  Log - 05/08/24 Notes: This is a small patch as it was brought to my attention on Level 4, When the player leaps out of the water, movement was disabled that caused the player to jump straight up not allowing them to move on the platform. This now has been fixed as well as increasing the tower elevator move speed.

• Virvius Update (May 7th 2024)-Early Access Patch v5 - 7 May 2024

  Log - 05/07/24 Notes: As the player controller was updated previously, it did correct some previous issues but also included more issues. As the player jumped, then moved, the player would not move due to the momentum not being there and if the player was air borne the input was disabled. This caused problems when jumping on crates. Previously I've had two control styles (Air Control & Air Momentum) and the community wanted either or, So I built a hybrid that's the best of both worlds. The player can now jump first and move after as well as retaining momentum when falling off a ledge and not jumping or bunny hopping. This should give the player much more control when moving around in the air while jumping. I have fixed some other issues in the game as well. Both the EA and Demo have been updated with these changes, Feel free to express any thoughts or concerns or any other game inquirie…

• Virvius Update (April 30th 2024)-Early Access Patch v4 - 30 April 2024

  Log - 04/30/24 Notes: As I was unaware of the Geneva Convention treaty and their policies of the "Red Cross" logo with a white background in video games, As my medical pickups had a cross with a grey background, I have pushed this update in removal of the "+" symbol entirely for an "H" instead which has been implemented in the games UI, medical kit pick ups, achievements, videos and trailers. Both the EA and Demo have been updated with these changes, Feel free to express any thoughts or concerns or any other game inquiries to the Steam Discussion board or Enfenyx Gaming - Virvius Discord Server. I would love to hear from you! --------> https://steamcommunity.com/app/2335370/discussions/ --------> https://discord.gg/HSVPTCCs9E ADDED/CHANGED FEATURES Health 15 now has an "H" on it instead of a "Cross".

• Blasting over 300+ plays! - 28 April 2024

  With Virvius just being released on Early Access just nearing 1 month ago! I'm astonished by the incredible support from the boomer shooter community, streamers and reviewers so far. I earn to keep bringing updates to the game and bring a better experience over time. In the means it would be great to target the next goal of 500 and possibly find enough support to have Episode 2 in the works. Episode 2: Torcher Sanctum would feature a part of the game, a more "gorey/gruesome" environment that would really test the players abilities. Additionally, bring new creatures to hunt as well and bring a more unique type of experience to the game. If you have some cool ideas or type of game play you'd like to see, feel free to reach out on Steam discussion or Discord! I thank every single one of you for playing Early Access or trying out the demo of Virvius. I hope it is as nostalgic to you as it w…

• Virvius Update (April 17th 2024)-Early Access Patch v3 - 17 April 2024

  Log - 04/17/24 Notes: I want to thank you for your continued support on the project, every bit of feedback is vital to this project. After an exhausting few days, there are a few things I touched up on. I now have revised the player movement, this needs to be thoroughly tested out on mouse/Keyboard and Controller. At the moment, speed itself hasn't changed but, the movement should be more responsive, accurate and now has momentum built in. This has also changed how the swimming behaved and the ability to launch the player up out of the water near a ledge, So my personal response is that I didn't enjoy using the controller before, but now after the refactor, I enjoy using the controller and should feel better on Steam Deck, especially with the new button mapping! Enemies are now less spongy. This feedback was more in consideration of the shotguns. Before the damage was per bullet which r…

• Virvius Update (April 12th 2024)-Early Access Patch v2 - 12 April 2024

  Log - 04/12/24 Notes: A gift came early for AZERTY users! Virvius now has button/key mapping! I've been paying attention to the thoughts and feedback from the wonderful boomer shooter community. I've addressed some of the issues that have come up and I hope I can continue to bring a better experience to you. This update also includes fixes for a few other important factors that have been brought up a few times, Firstly the graphics not matching the trailers or screenshot. This is because of the Exponential Squared Fog that was implemented in the lighting, Some of the screen shots were taken before that was implemented, this has been updated and the game looks like it used too. Secondly, is the sound. I had currently reverbed the sound effects for the player, this has been removed and the sound has been amped up. To me, the sound now feels more impactful. Both the EA and Demo have been u…

• Virvius Update (040724) -Early Access Patch v1 - 7 April 2024

  Log - 04/07/24 Notes: Explosive walls included level 4 were not breakable with weapons other than explosives. This made the achievement for secrets much more difficult to obtain, if at all. Level 4 needed a couple check points that provided the player to not restart the entire level after reaching a certain point.

• Virvius Update (April 5th 2024) - 6 April 2024

  Log - 04/05/24 Notes: First off, I want to thank the Steam/Boomer shooter community for testing Virvius, the game has improved greatly because of your input, Thank you! If you have purchased the game and haven't left a review it would greatly improve the games chances by leaving a review on Steam! This update is the official purchasable early access build which now contains 24 achievements with an "Achievement" menu for in game. Having said that, achievements are not included in the demo and only a few of them can actually be obtained in episode 1, as the achievements were designed for the full 4 episode game. Also, this build now includes a level select which is the "Vault" selection in the menu with and episode selection in the next with only episode 1 accessible. You can unlock levels as you play the game and revisit them if your scouting for achievements. I have also patched a few b…

• Virvius Update (May 28th 2023) - 28 May 2023

  Log - 05/28/23 Notes: A major (stable build) update to Virvius, The main fixes include GPU instancing and static batching which allows the Graphic Rendering to be handled in a correct way, as this improves Occlusion Culling of the game. Speaking of which, Occlusion Portals were added to movable walls and doors so the camera wont draw objects behind. It was taken into consideration to shut down moving objects in the scene when the player is out of range like enemies and pickup items, since materials were redesigned for GPU instancing, this allows for more enemies or objects of the same type and mesh to be rendered together which will increase a bit of performance. GAME FIXES Static game objects are now optimized for batching Dynamic objects are now optimized for GPU Instancing. Moving Objects are turned off in the background. Most of unnecessary mesh colliders were removed for box collid…
