- Working from home on Budget Cuts and Garden of the Sea during covid times. Rate our setups?? - 23 May 2020
Since we are a software company, we are able to support our devs in working from home during these times by providing software and hardware to help bridge the distance that we are all experiencing now. That way we can continue to provide games and experiences for people to explore worlds in VR that take them beyond their home. During this period, we are very happy that we've been able to release content updates to Garden of the Sea, and performance patches to Budget Cuts and Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F37700539%2F5821884194654dd783e7319bc1995c07d6a1a5b4.jpg While it hasn't all been straight forward, and some of our workflows have had to change (or even slow down) in order to accommodate our new work style, we do consider ourselves very lucky to have a studio and team that supports us in being able to work from home d…
- Hi everyone! We are Neat Corp! - 6 May 2020
We are a group of VR gamedevs that live and work in Stockholm, and we now have a Creator Page on Steam! (wow yay!) https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F37700539%2F926c798e996d40fadf133223abc46f41713ae220.jpg We believe that by being excellent to one another and embracing all the weird quirks that make us human we can create some neat games (hah see what we did there?), and hopefully have some fun while doing so! There's a huge passion for Virtual Reality at our studio, and many of us are die-hard tech enthusiasts who can't wait for the latest&greatest hardware to test and play with. Although we've all individually made plenty of games and tools before we all joined Neat Corp, our debut title Budget Cuts is what brought many of us together for the first time. After that, it was inevitable that we would put our heads together and create Garden of the Sea and no…
- Neat Corporation is proud to present The Performance Update - 27 April 2020
A couple of months back, we started a project to bring the performance of Budget Cuts (BC1) up to Budget Cuts 2 (BC2) parity. We soon realized that the most effective way to do this is to port the game to the BC2 codebase. This had added benefits, such as simplifying the ability to port features over as well! For example we now have the Mutators menu available in BC1, which includes Smooth Locomotion and other, perhaps more wacky, things! (Pictured: a typical workday at Neat Corporation) Most important of all though, is the significantly increased performance and bugfixes we gained from the port. This also brings us to the fact that BC2 is recieving an update at the same time, because not only did BC1 benefit from BC2 features, we also added some significant improvements which affect both games: - Multithreaded AI vision system rewrite - Single Pass Instanced Rendering - Multithreaded c…
- Budget Cuts 2 updates coming to Budget Cuts! - 24 January 2020
After a long development, Budget Cuts 2 is finally released and "finished"! (yay!) We are currently working on porting the updates and optimizations from BC2 into BC1 - but unfortunately it's not as easy as just pushing a button. While working on Budget Cuts 2, we made several significant updates to our engine and tools, which means it's a far more robust and performant base than the one we had for the original Budget Cuts. We've been looking at moving several of those updates and optimizations back to Budget Cuts 1 but it turns out it is actually better to port the content from Budget Cuts 1 into the Budget Cuts 2 engine - so this is what we are currently working on! What does all this mean to you? Well, if you have Budget Cuts 1 you will be getting a patch in the near future which contains a lot of "quality of life" updates to performance, the save system, the AI, throwing, and severa…

- April 2019 patch out now! - 15 April 2019
We are happy to give y’all another round of bug fixes, improvements and more for Budget Cuts. (Full changelog at the bottom of this message.) Improved Windows Mixed Reality support: We have added increased support for WMR users, including proper controller graphics, tutorials and fixes for throwing not working properly on the platform. For the time being throwing will not feel quite as realistic as on Vive/Oculus and will require a slightly different throwing technique from the player. The reason for this is that implementing it in a way that is consistent with the throwing on Vive/Oculus platforms will require a more significant reworking of the current system. We still aim do this for a future patch, but for now this one will at least increase the playability for WMR users significantly. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F12132313%2Fb994a24a38621cefcb263e%25E2%2580%25A6
- New Patch: Oculus SDK improvements and Level Select. - 26 February 2019
Since the release of Arcade Mode we have received feedback and bug reports, mainly from Oculus Native users. In this patch we have addressed some of the issues and wishes you brought us! We also added a Level Select in the Main Menu! This will let you select any level you previously reached when starting a New Game! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F12132313%2F8ad9e03883fbaf20392ccc1e436c20792a018851.jpg Conveniently enough, the Level select also doubles as a HELP-I-AM-STUCK-IN-THIS-LEVEL-BECAUSE-STUPID-BUG buddy. We are aware that some users are experiencing bugs such as missing screws, ADAM acting strange, locked doors that can be opened by pushing them with physics objects. These issues are connected to the save system and have proven particularly difficult to address. As an emergency workaround for any such issues, we recommend to start a New Game on a…
- Arcade patch is now live!! - 14 February 2019

We’ve also put Budget Cuts on sale for a few days to celebrate the launch of the Arcade mode and hope that you have a lot of fun stabbing our virtual robots. We don’t mind. It’s fine. It didn’t take us a long time to make them or anything.

- Don’t Worry, Throw Knives! - 9 November 2018
Hi everyone! We’ve been a bit silent since the launch of Budget Cuts, mostly focusing on bug fixes. We just launched our 5th patch, which you can read more about in this post. We are going to continue working on bug-fixing of course, but we’ve also been thinking about how to make Budget Cuts easier to pick up and play for those who want something shorter than our story-driven levels. In order to realize this, we’ve decided to build an Arcade version of Budget Cuts with four entirely new levels and missions! If you already own Budget Cuts, these new Arcade levels will be automagically added to your game. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F12132313%2F64a9bbad175a315b9a204d25ad0df0125f987bec.gif We also want to make sure that everyone feels welcome in the world of TransCorp - at least until they get fired and need to kill robots to survive - so we’ve invested…
