Boneworks 1.5 Launched Today! 

Brandon always stood out to me when he made videos back with Freddie I could never imagine he’d essentially become one of the biggest innovators for VR gaming, ever since I heard about Boneworks on Node I been itching for a VR setup to go crazy on this game

now all we need is the ability to decapitate the zombies

This game just keeps on turning into nicer candy. Launch without savepoints was sketchy but it took off running now.

this is how game development should be. I bet everyone there absolutely loves their job :)

i think a shotgun added in the game will feel real good like a double barrel shotgun it will be good to reload it

I've enjoyed boneworks so much, that I broke one of my VIVE controllers! Seriously, boneworks is my favorite VR game, like, ever.

I am extremely grateful to be alive at this moment and just to be able to play Boneworks. It is the absolute best game I've ever played and WILL ever play.

I've never clicked so fast.

So happy to see my video at 4:00! I love how they don't know there arms are broke and keep trying to throw punches.

The sub after this vid: SO WHEN IS THE VECHILES COMING OUT

Every time he brings up a behind the scenes of a Boneworks implementation my mind is absolutely blown. What I wouldn't give to have Brandon be my math teacher.

This games value has gone up exponentially since launch, and even at launch it was an incredible game

GO GO GADGET VR My man, get that IP license, you're really onto something here!

Vr Cod zombies, sign me up Stress level zero has the capability to make a story for a zombie story line, and constantly updating it, introducing a 4 player co op, the longevity of the will give it enough time for when people finally get into vr Bone works can be a must have for vr games.

This will be the first game I buy when I get VR gear!

I would play the HELL out of a well-made Go Go Gadget game! I loved that show as a kid, I used to have dreams about having his powers.

easy name: The MonoGlider™ (P.S Can you make an auto optimizer for the settings so I can run the game more smooth? if you can?"

I'm loving the amount of love tha'ts going into this game, it's clear that you're making a game because you love pushing what games can do. That being said, if you continue to add to the game in the way that you riff about, I and i'm sure others would be happy to buy DLC to support you guys. Keep up the good work guys

I'll be a customer and a proud owner of Boneworks in less than an hour, and I wanted to take a second and tell you: It's amazing to see the updates coming along with these talks/interviews/insights. This one absolutely put me into the mood of getting the game asap!

What I love about Brandon and StressLevelZero is how they run things. It's clear throughout this video that Brandon had no idea Cameron was developing some of these new game elements, it shows that the developers at StressLevel aren't micromanaged and they are given the opportunity to be individually creative. I think it's fantastic and it results in some awesome updates that we wouldn't otherwise get if everyone was following a strict development program.

I am really glad to see these updates are coming out as free content. I would happily pay for DLC for more meatier features. Boneworks really shows off what VR is capable of.

I LOVE COD Zombies. This shit has me hyped. Boneworks pushed me to buy VR and it was freaking worth it. Keep up the good work.

Boneworks is such a fantastic game and has so much potential. I'm really glad that you guys are continuing to expand upon the absolutely phenomenal foundation you've put together, because everything about that physics-based interaction is so god damn satisfying, from the gunplay, to the NPC reactions upon impact, to the climbing and things like ziplining. So fucking glad you guys are pressing forward and adding more to it all.

i feel an outfit system would be fun, it could have outfit references to the earlier avatar for ford or the ford used in the steam comments art and it could be called the"MONO-DROBE" or something like that

Brandon. You’re the best. Wish you were still around the crew though.

The mechanics of Boneworks continue to amaze me. Really been wanting to play it lately, but one of my vive controllers stopped tracking completely. :( Ordered index controllers to replace them, but they are backordered at least 8 weeks cuz of Covid. At least I'll get the full feature set with the new controllers...

I dont even own a VR kit or Boneworks but love hearing about the updates and how passionate the whole team are about the game! I hope you guys continue to make games till you retire!

I love that you guys are still working so hard on the game and releasing all this content even this many months after release. It's rare to see that kind of passion in the games industry. Keep it up :) ♥

brandon, you are the coolest guy in town my dude

Sooooo......How's 1.6 coming along?

Features that could make Boneworks even better: vehicles/transport, dismemberment, mind control, more ally npcs, npcs kick, desktop version, official multiplayer, new combat moves, shotguns (if you can do it with duck season then you can do it with boneworks), explosive weapons, flamethrower, npc reactions, and npcs that mimic and/or follow you in sandbox. Like the fords in dungeon and castle.

Nothing is more satisfying than ripping the wooden boards off the walls in the Sewer level. Either that or just straight up running into them and crashing through This update is gonna be hella fun!!

PLEASE GOD GIVE ME INSPECTOR GADGET VR, BRANDON, I'M BEGGING YOU.

Never in my life would I expect to be added in an SLZ video. Holy crap...

That jumping and grab point fix are VERY appreciated

You guys really do some amazing work, I can't stop coming back to Boneworks when I'm in the mood to play some vr

Boneworks is the only "full" VR game (not counting beat saber) that I really enjoy. I'd happily double dip on my payment for Boneworks if it could mean a great Boneworks 2.0 update with tons of new features!!

None of these guys got anything on freddie's typing skills

I can't really run the campaign levels very well, but the Zombie Warehouse runs SO well. like, *whoa*

cant wait for BoneLab, looking back on these dev logs im loving the organization and pure love for the VR scape from SL0 keep it up guys!

BRANDON ARE SHOTGUNS COMING

Hear me out, what if multiplayer was in Boneworks? I'm saying something like a Co-op mode for the story mode.

I love your dev updates so much, Brandon. As I am working on my own game, it's nice to hear similar experiences from someone who has already gone down the path. Thank you for all that you do, and I hope that game development continues to fulfill your creative needs. Can't wait to try it all out!

Stress Level Zero has quickly became one of my favorite Dev teams of all time, if not my absolute favorite.

`what does everyone think about adding multiplayer to the zombie mode ?

Get the guy a microphone, sounds like he is in a fish bowl

Brandon you should do a video where you and the dev team react to a Boneworks speedrun! That would be pretty cool

Amazing! So glad that you guys are still working on this game.

Boneworks - The never ending tech demo.

i like their ideas, but they seriously need some better art direction it is waaaaaaay to messy

i am no oracle, but I'm pretty sure VR lives and or dies by whatever Stress Level Zero continues to do, which is basically always be badass. Please never stop, SLZ.

You made my day, can't wait to play the update after work :D I also can't wait to show my friends who were big into COD zombies the new mode!

man i miss these kinds of updates, kinda wish there was more for bonelab, heck any other game

My valve index comes tomorrow and I’m so stoked for your game. Thanks for updating it!!!

YES!! I can't wait to play this new update. I absolutely love this game and can't wait for more amazing updates! You guys are doing an awesome job, thank you for blessing us with this game.

Great seeing the continued work on Boneworks! :D

you guys have a very bright future ahead of you, will give you my money as soon as I get my vr setup

i miss you on node buddy :( you were honestly the heart of the channel

I love this insight on the actual development progress in this video and how they each have their own little side projects

It would be cool if there was secret unlock-able npc's of some of the mythos employees in sandbox mode. That would be so awesome.

I love watching these dev diaries. Seroulsy awesome work guys. Keep it up!

4:34 aged like fine wine

Just want to say thanks for continuously working on the game man! You guys rock!

YES@!!!!! thanks so much. the jumping was a bit hard to figure out, and never worked that great. thanks for continuing to make this game better and better!

When I played Duck Season, I knew SLZ were geniuses for VR games and concept to product, equal parts clever and bar raising; but Boneworks both at launch, and continually earns them the towering throne of innovation and exemplary passion to product. The VR developer gold standard with I suspect a very promising future- they definitely are making one of the most compelling strides for VR first person tech-to-gameplay; to the point it would be hard to believe they don't get frequent offers to license their game as an SDK. These videos are fascinating as is the speed at which they continue to update and release content along with improvements, for what is certainly more than enough to last for years in Boneworks.

I can't believe how much free content you are putting out there! The game itself was already great, but the fact that you keep updating it and adding stuff all the time is just increible! Can't wait to see what else you've got in store for us.

well, vehicles are now in BoneLab, sick! (in the sneak peeks)

I loved the ideas you guys talked about in this video, I'd love to see them in the game! Thanks for all your hard work!

Thank you for continuing to add to this wonderful game.

Go go gadget would be perfect in Vr when you think about it, because part of the charm was that the gadgets didn't always work right, or the voice control didn't work perfectly so he might say one thing and a different gadget popped out etc.

They way they talked about how the characters move and how it's all just physics based and not an actual animation is really fascinating. I would so love to see that kind of work be more refined and improved on in future titles. Not just from SLZ but from other developers. Really push the AI in video games. Also I would LOVE to have an Inspector Gadget VR game with the voice commends. Being able to just say "Go Go Gadget Copter" and fly around would really make my day. Also saying "Go Go Gadget Legs" and see myself shoot straight up into the air with extendo-legs would really throw me into a loop.

dont even have vr yet but still always gonna watch these videos

You just made the game better my man

A map editor would do so much for the longevity of Boneworks.

This movement in VR would be amazing for version 1.0 of an Ready Player One like Oasis, since you can use both melee and projectile weapons.

mentions vehicles and flying, 1.6 refines the wasp and makes a whole flying level based on it... what an odd coincidence!

I'd love to see more types of weapons - shotguns, bows, silenced/stealthy weapons etc. And perhaps eventually a system by which weapons can use attachments or alternative ammo types. Hell, if attachments aren't going to be a thing, having two variants of a shotgun that fired buckshot or slugs depending on the variant would be enough. You've got an incredible inverse kinematics/physics game with satisfying gunplay - to see more guns added to the mix for a real sandbox feel would be incredible. That, or give people mod tools to publish their own levels, weapons and more via steam workshop. It'll take much of the burden off you folks while you work on your next titles, and allow the community to find ways to make new and exciting things happen with your tech that you can then implement into the game moving forward.

pro tip if both parts of a voip interview record locally you can publish audio thats actually usable

that house zombie level would so good.. or even better give us a little neighbourhood that we can zip and zop between the houses =0

A funny/cool solution to gliders might be an umbrella since they can double as an ok weapon when closed so people would also value it that way over just a glider that would be harder to fight with- could be neon-y

Dismemberment, Enemy ford with weapons in arena and more weapons would be great next. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for all you do, Brandon!

Three words : OH MY GOD ! I'm an extreme fan of COD Zombies and tried to find the closest thing in VR (Pavlov wasn't that great) and you're telling me you've done it in my favorite vr game, I almost cried. Please make some more maps ! I don't know how you do it but the best VR game just got better, amazing work, wish you all the best and stay safe :)

Super excited to try this update. Also, just in case player input helps in the decision-making process, I'd absolutely love (more) vehicles in Boneworks, wheeled or flying. Hopefully some larger, more open maps alongside that.

i wish every game had boneworks physics it makes the game so much more consistent immersive and just more enjoyable in general

New update is amazing! Love the freedom of movement that the warehouse gives compared to the arena, and seeing the zombies hop up to chase me is always fun. It's clear that you guys put a lot of soul into the game and it shows in the final product.

In all seriousness, having a physics based body is what vr cars need. We need to be able to anchor our bodies to the steering wheel so that our view doesn’t shift around like crazy when we take a step in the real world. Not saying Boneworks needs cars, just saying it’s gotta happen from someone someday

I still want this game so bad. I still can not afford to buy a VR kit. I owe my friend a lot for helping me, and unfortunately had a pet pass away. So much stuff piling up. I really hope that I can get enough by January! This game looks so sick! Aaahhh, one day! This game is so sick, and I can't wait to see more!

Boneworks is a great game on it's own, but we are very lucky to have a great studio like SL0 behind it. You can always tell they all feel very passionate about this game, and game development in general. The constant updates have been very nice, and it is amazing how well they have been working even through the pandemic.

i miss Brandon on node been watching node since 2012 but I'm glad he's happy

excellent work as always guys!!! having a blast with the update.

You guys are doing incredible work! :)

the part brandon said "animations are in the brain" and all that, that was insanely smart. like that makes the things move and behave much better

multiplayer coop in this mode will be sick! i mean, the game is sick by itself but it would be sicker!

Now all we need is that bone works like game coming to the quest

If I ever had a dream it would be for You guys to deliver a fully fledged and realised "Ghost in the Shell" title I can't think of anyone else being capable of doing it to the satisfactory level and I will go and start praying for it already

always found boneworks to be my favorite vr game iv tried soo far (HLVR, Superhot, pavlov are all close in comparison).

Thank you!!! I need more and more of this game

Can't wait to try it out!

Working with a team like this must be a blast. They do not see it was a career but a craft and work is like play. Would love to work for someone like Brandon, sadly I am 7 years too late. No idea on how to find people/brothers like this.
