- The Brookhaven Experiment - 5-Dec-17 Update - 5 December 2017
This is a minor update, including the following: Basic support for the new Windows Mixed Reality devices. These devices should play similarly to existing Vive and Oculus devices. In supporting these new devices, we also added a "generic" path so that the game should work with devices other than Vive, Oculus or WMR. No other devices are officially supported, so we can't guarantee your experience on these other devices, but if you make us aware of issues we will try to address them. Tweaks to the "Whisperer" end boss in Town Square. He was way too hard to beat, mainly because he had super-high HP and it was impossible to shoot his eyes due to collision on his snout. Happy holidays and enjoy!

- The Brookhaven Experiment - 31-Aug-16 Update - 31 August 2016
Hi everyone! I am pleased to announce that we have just released a major update to "The Brookhaven Experiment." Updates and changes include: Options screen for things like super-sampling, flashlight shadow-casting, and right vs. left-handed controls. New difficulty levels! The "default" difficulty that you've all been playing is "Normal" difficulty; we've added "Hard" and "Apocalyptic." Set difficulty from the options screen. Difficulty level affects both campaign and survival modes. Major fixes to throwables; they now detonate reliably and affect all the enemies they are supposed to. Molotov cocktail has been replaced by the "chemical grenade." It works similarly: toss the chem grenade to create a puddle of toxic green goo that damages enemies who walk through it. It's especially effective against arachnids. You can now switch to special ammo using the menu button, and you get two full…

- The Brookhaven Experiment is out! - 6 July 2016
Hey everyone! We're so excited that the game is finally live and everyone is having fun with it! Over the next several weeks, we'll be fixing things up and watching the boards to see feedback and bug reporting, so make sure to call it like you see them! Thanks for supporting the game! Here are some of what we'd like to do in the short term and long term. Short Term (next few weeks, we hope) - We'll make it easier to get to your knife and grenades - We're adding a feature that lets you use the same load-out as the previous wave, so you don't have to set your gun up every wave - We're adding options for things like sound volume, gun handle angle and left/right handedness - In general, more hints and tutorials to help with things as needed - Tweaks to throwables will make all of them more useful and balanced - More pronounced and useful haptic feedback on weapons Longer Term (not within th…
