"Why hot dogs?"
Why not hot dogs? On a serious note, the developer has stated that there will be no human targets in the game. There are a multitude of reasons for this and it detracts nothing from the core gameplay of being a firearms simulator. The below description is taken from the Steam Page

quote:

Do you like hotdogs? How about horseshoes? Hand grenades? (everyone likes hand grenades) Anyway, we've got all that, and guns. So if you like cooking, lawn games, and ordnance, this is the VR sandbox game for you.

Hot dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is a lazy Sunday trip over to your friends house� if your friend was a retired gun-nut with a warehouse full of toys, a few irritating robot pets, and a bizarre obsession with meat. Head on over to the firing range and learn to operate an arsenal full of firearms. Customize your perfect preposterous tacti-cool arsenal. Compete in structured challenges with global leaderboards. Blast apart meaty bots and then chill out on the range setting off fireworks. Or have some friends over and take turns throwing everything from horseshoes to explosives while making an rear end of yourself!

H3VR(for short), is the heaping pile of our mad obsessive VR experiments. This is very much an impressionistically developed experience, so expect it to mutate, expand, contract, somersault, and occasionally explode along the way to final release.

For real though, this game is fun if you�re interested in firearms. Anton Hand, the developer, is a really cool guy. Worth giving it a whirl; but, ask for help from someone who has played. This game has essentially no tutorial and there is so much to ingest that you will get lost.

Scenes
Scenes are essentially the areas where you can play the game. There are different scenes ranging from simple shooting ranges to a full on rogue-lite. H3VR has over 25 different scenes. The main scenes that I enjoy the most are:

Indoor Range - Name tells you everything. Has targets you can move to different distances. Even has a shot timer.

Friendly 45 Range - Outdoor range based on a certain Youtuber�s backyard range. Has a skeet range also.

Take And Hold - Take points and hold them. Get a high score. There are now two official maps, one based indoors and hallways and the other is outdoors in the snow. More detail in later posts.

Return of the Rotweiners - Zombies, quests, exploration, story, etc. This is the rogue-lite. Some people love it, others hate it. Use armswinger if you wanna move at any decent clip. More detail in later posts.

"That texture repeat is really obvious. Lazy dev..."

Mods
There is a vibrant modding community that has added a multitude of guns and even maps for the Take And Hold scene. I have not tried modding yet. You can find more information on the active Discord https://discord.gg/Hggg7wh

Devlogs
Anton Hand has weekly devlogs where he talks about the progress of the game and where it is headed. They�re generally very interesting and he really gives a look behind the curtain. If you have the time, it is worth watching them.
