- v0.4.1.0 - The Never Alone Update - 5 August 2016
We're really excited about this update, and hopeful that the servers will start filling up with players more frequently. We added two big features to help with this: the ability to join games that are already in progress, and the ability to shoot bots while waiting for other players to join. No more waiting around in lobbies -- just click the Join Game button to get going! Here's the full list of changes: No more watching paint dry while waiting for multiplayer matches. Shoot bots while waiting for other players to join! Now auto-connecting you to any available in-progress match (unless you're partying up), instead of forcing you to start a new lobby and wait. New HAWK class model. Added death animations and explosions in multiplayer. Made ZONER's teleporter recharge a little slower, to make ZONER not OP. New music that won't get flagged by YouTube's Content ID system. Robotics World ga…

- v0.4.0.0 - Multiplayer arena battle, new locomotion, new weapons - 19 July 2016
We've spent the last couple of months working really hard on this new update, and you'll notice quite a few major improvements and changes. The biggest difference is that we shifted the focus away from being a tower defense game, and made XLR into a multiplayer arena shooter. After adding in player-vs-player combat as a test in the old XLR, we got a glimpse of how fun it could be, and we really feel that switching to an arena shooter was the right move. One of the biggest challenges with an arena shooter in VR is locomotion. And we think we've solved it, at least for XLR. We did a lot of experimentation and tuning, and came up with a way of sliding a player around that seems to reduce or completely eliminate nausea for many players. We've tested it on as many people as we can find, from VR "veterans" to people who have never tried VR before. None of our testers have experienced any naus…

- v0.3.5.0 - Five new weapons - 14 May 2016
Five new guns! Pistol, Shotgun, Grenade Launcher, Heavy Machine Gun, Sniper Rifle. Also got rid of the old pistols -- they were always meant to be temporary. Added lots of weapon and ammunition sounds. You now have ammo on your chest. Just reach to your chest and press the grips to grab a magazine. Then slam it into your weapon. Don't forget to rack the bolt or get a little pump action going, depending on which weapon you're using. To drop a loaded ammo magazine, press the touchpad. Or reach to the magazine with your other hand and press the grip button. PSA: You have holsters at your hips. Move your hand down there and press the grip button to swap items in and out of the holsters. Simplified multiplayer and singleplayer options. Inventory now shows how many of each item you have if you have more than one. Made UI buttons easier to hit. Walker drones no longer run around in circles or…
