Pavlov Shack has finally shipped to the Meta Quest store! This is going to benefit the PC version in the next release due to our continued work towards optimizing the game. We have also addressed other quality of life enhancements, such as improving voice chat.
That’s not all; while we were working on delivering the shack build with the engineering team, our art team spent the better part of 2023 crafting some of the most detailed maps we have created to date! Both of these maps have been created for the SnD community and are designed with Search and Destroy, as many of our other maps.
New maps
Autumn is set in a Scottish town, once a bustling hub of maritime commerce, but now serves as a main town square for its local residents. Despite the decline of its maritime glory, it retained its charm, its spirit unyielding. Fall leaves littering the streets with golden shafts of light piercing the windows.
Carnival is an abandoned eastern European amusement park that is far away from its joyful days of delighting guests with thrills and joy. Dilapidated buildings are littered with vandalism from the new generation of graffiti artists who discovered a massive canvas ripe for tagging.
They still aren’t quite ready yet however, there are still some areas that need to be fully polished, as well as optimization passes to merge assets down, QA test, and locate bugs before we can deliver this update to the players.
Update timing
We expect the next update to be early next year.
Modkit
What's even more exciting is the new modkit 3.0 functionality that will make custom content much better for both the creators trying to ship content, as well as the players who will benefit from the mod cross pollination with the new dependency system.
We are also going to raise the community server player cap to help other custom mods that utilize large landscapes with dispersed players flourish, such as Ma7cus’s popular Resurgence mod.
You can find more information on the new modkit by reading our article on Road to VR.
