Hi all, my apologies, I am a bit behind, though I had posted this on here last night, but I may have been too tired to finish the post XD
This one highlights, aside new features like gun modding and knife throwing, the both main playmodes the game will come with, VR & Non-VR.
The game is and remains a VR title, but I wanted...

Since the Early Access Release Date for "Gunman Contracts - Stand Alone" is coming closer - the time might be moving faster for me on this than for you XD - I wanted to share some Plans of mine to reward you all for supporting me along the way so far.
I plan to release the game at a price tag of around 20$ when launc...
2023-10-11 22:24:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi dear Patreons,
I just recently discovered that Patreon has changed their donation-plans, stripping the possibility to freely choose a donation sum and replaced it with a tier-setup that by default advertised with "exclusive content", which is very misleading. I want to apologize that I havent checked on this sooner.
Since I do int...
2023-10-11 21:26:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, this is more for "new patreons", since I did got quite the asks of new arrivals asking how they could play the Demo, thinking it was exclusive to patreons, which was why they donated. The answer to that is: there is no Demo!
And not because I dont want to treat my patreons good XD ... but because the game is ...

Hi dear Patreons, I know I have been off here for quite a while, but I sure hope you have once or twice headed over to my Discord where I do post most of my smaller updates for now.
And please be sure to give me a quick reach-out if you want the Patreon-Role for the Discord Server. Its still taking shape, but I would love to have you all a...

Hi dear Patreons,
here it is, a new devlog, this time a bit of a morbid one, highlighting the new and improved blood effects, aswell as finally showing off the knife combat and the compound bow. All still work in progress of course. I am in way more in detail on the violence scale than I had set out to be, but I wanted it visually to be on...

Hi dear Patreons,
as long teased, here now is a brand new gameplay video. While I have posted a low quality video of a gameplay demo within the chapter one remake map before for your eyes only, it was a very laggy and in SD quality. This new recording comes in HD (4K aswell, but upscaled) and 60FPS.
And it does also feature the redes...

first up, my apologies for being off grid with updates for so long, but you have my word that this will change from now on!
Because as of last week, I do finally have certainty on what has been up in the air behind the scenes for quite some time now. And not without some regret I have to say, that what has been brew...
2023-04-30 21:06:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi dear Patreons!
First up, I gotta apologize once more for being way too quiet lately. But this time around it was actually a bit more complicated than just being too swept up in coding, designing and mapmaking. This time it was working on the project on a much more fundamental level, for much more fundamental reasons.
Truth is th...
Hi dear patreons!
As seen on screens posted before, I have been working on the recreation of my map from "chapter 1" for the standalone project over the last two months, which will also be the first contract available.
For the last couple of weeks I have been playtesting/recording quite a bit during production, and thought I co...

Hi all, again, way too long way too quite. I might not have been given much updates these last weeks, but a lot has been done within the project. A big chunk of work hours went into environmental design, which I felt I wanted to show a little bit more of in the pictures above. The map design for my re-imagination of Contract Nr. 1 is moving alon...

Hi all, I have been quite busy the last weeks, this time mostly on the artistic side of things, working on the remake of chapter one. Things are coming along nicely, and to give you all a glimpse at the progress being made, I wanted to post a quick WIP update with a few screenshots of the surroundings of my bar/club map. Hope you like em. Cheers...

Hi all, again, long time no post (I should probably stop saying that since this seems to be my default posting-interval).

Hi everyone, I have just uploaded another vid, focusing solely on the bullet penetration feature, which makes every bullet blast through different kind of surfaces with different effect, be it wood, glass, metal, stone or ... well, lets call it NPC-tissue.
It might be a little less eventful all in all, but I really wanted to give this feat...

Hi all. I know its been a while (again), but I have made enormous progress in the last month. The demo version is now pretty much done and waiting to go out to a few test players who then (hopefully) help me to find more areas to finetune further. Especially different headset are a blind eye to me, since I am only able to test the game on my ocu...

Hi everyone, its finally time to enter a new phase of my development. I have decided to (at least try) document my progress from here on out via a series of youtube videos.

But today I have something very special, at least to me ^^ : because I am happy to announce that my work on my gunman contracts standalone project is coming along very very well, in fact way better than I had hoped for and it probably will be entering a playable tech-demo phase not too far in the future.&nb...

The next Chapter of Gunman Contracts is in the works and will feature a visit to a very special place (at least for gaming-me). Dont wanna spoil too much yet, but this place may or may not look this way in the "primary" playmode ;-)
Still a lot of road ahead thou, and with work and family I am very short on time for this project atm. As al...
2022-03-23 23:45:53 +0000 UTC View PostBuckle up everyone, it is finally here! The custom pistol by Lennerson is locked, loaded and now included within both "Chapter 1 & 2" and replaces the default pistol. There might still be some kinks left, eg. when empty there is still a bullet visible in the mag, but I am sure Lennerson will fix that very soon.
As always, any feedback ...
2022-03-08 01:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone. So with February coming to a close, and me (aside from news about the coming customized pistol) having been a little quite on the news side of things, I wanted to give you all a little outlook on my plans for the coming weeks / months, and this year in general - if the world is still in existence that is ... scary news these days. 2022-02-28 15:35:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Okay everyone, its getting very very close! Lennerson has send me some first footage of his ingame tests of the gunman gun and it looks oh so sweet :-D ... cant wait. He said he aims for a release candidate early next week IF he doesnt run into bigger hurdles fixing those last rough edges and buggy behaviour. Fingers crossed!

Hi everyone, good news, 3D Artist Lennerson has finally got his hands on the missing tools needed to progress and has sent me some screens on the custom gun that is (hopefully very soon) to come as an update for both chapter 1 & 2. It looks simply spectacular and I cant wait to finally get my VR-hands on this XD
2022-02-20 12:08:32 +0000 UTC View Post
Okay so, this was fast ... the first update gives all players the choice between 3 types of gunshot sounds, so each and all can do their killing the way that suits their ears best (and yes, first and default sound is now that from chapter 1)
Just put the gun in the bench clamp and cycle via the button. Enjoy!

Please note that this mod turned out to be a bit heavy on performance, and while it has been improved and optimized to kingdom come over the last weeks, a few stutters here and there throughout the map wont be avoidable. Feel free to comment any bugs you may encounter i...

Hi my dear patreons, I am happy to announce that it is finally time. After about 2 weeks of testing, bugfixing and optimizing, Chapter 2 is now up on steam. And as a little thank you to my patreons, I will share it with you first right now, before releasing it to the public tomorrow.
