Hey,
Itch just let me know the refund is now being processed and should be in your account in a few days.
"Hello,
We have refunded their payment. It may take few days for it to appear on their statement depending on the payment method used.
Please let us know if there is anything else you need,
Thanks"
*Note I requested this as soon as I saw your post.
Fantastic! Super glad to hear all of this. Performance is such a complex thing with so many different parts, that even when I am sure I have improved it, I don't really know until someone else says something like this! Its one of those "Well I'm pretty sure I fixed it on my end, I really hope this works for other people" kinda thing. So thank you for this wonderful message!
Not yet. It almost certainly will later this year. Perhaps in a few months. I am not committing to timelines yet.
I want to focus on the core elements of the game first for one platform before I get distracted with supporting multiple devices. This will allow me to publish updates faster and focus on making sure the game is really good as a priority.
New Interaction Frame is coming next.
- Smooth Locomotion (and turning with teleporting)
- VR Hands
- Physics based interactions (just fixing a few bugs here before release).
I don't want to commit to a release date, because right now I just need to figure out these bugs. But that could take anyway from hours to days, its hard to know because if I knew I would have fixed them already. The lack of knowing is also draining, which sadly makes it slower. The engagement from the community really helps pull my head out of the annoying bugs I get lost in to help me make progress on other areas so I can come back and look at different angle.
One of those things that has come out of the community engagement is story that has been in development. It will get its first light of day in this next update, I just added it in today! Only a small part of a much larger story (there are peaks, and spoilers in the discord. You should have got an email from me with an invite to that)
The frame work will also path the way for a lot of things in future updates including
- Inventory & weapon slots
- Bows
and more.
Hey Crystal,
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate your honesty. Where could I do better in setting expectations for the current status of the game?
Smooth locomotion is coming next! Along with the interaction framework. There is a lot of exiting things coming, and this next update will likely not be out for a week or few.
"this is more a pet peeve than anything but its so much more immersive if holding the grip button holds the object and letting go drops it without it sticking to my hand"
This is a tricky one. I agree! But that is how it was initially, but the feedback has been overwhelming been make it sticky.
Got it! Well I just bought this, so if integration goes well, expect all of the above and even more exciting things soon https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/vr-interaction-framework-for-oculus-161066
Thank you! Yes I will definitely be adding that as clearly it's important to s lot for people by how often I get asked XD. It's going to be a little bit of work though, so I need to prioritize and do it at the right time.
What feels more important to you at this stage, improving the main game mechanics or adding smooth locomotion?
Right now they work similar to the tardis in Dr Who. They look smaller from the outside than they do from the inside. If you look through a window, or a hole in the wall, you cant necessarily tell how big the next carriage is, only from looking directly into it through the door can you get a sense for its size. This is pretty much limited to width, not length as you wouldn't tell the length by looking through a window anyway.
A few things worth noting here.
1 - There are bugs with how it currently works and sometimes walls /roof are visible when they shouldn't be or objects / items in the room. This is also why the floor disappears sometimes although somewhat rarely. I've been looking for that bug for over a week now, hopefully I find it soon!!!
2- I have built some features I am yet to release that will make carriages turn into themselves and walk back on itself. However, I have put this on pause as the feedback I am getting from the community is focus on the looting, & enemies first.
What do you think? Should i be prioritizing non-euclidean spaces?
I am planning on adding magic to the game and am looking for ideas on what different spells could be. From potions, or hand casting.
For now I have some general categories I want to expand upon, but also open to more.
1 - Looting
Things like
Telekinesis.
Unlock Chest.
Increase speed / Increase teleport distance
2 - Combat
Pretty simple.
Do damage.
Reduce damage done to self.
Freeze enemy etc
3 - Collaborative
Healing Allies
Making an enemy a friend
What do you think? What else could there be? What are the best ideas?
Thanks @FishyFish29 for raising this in Discord.
Thanks Nullnvoid. Yes the taming is a strong idea, a few people are suggesting it. I also like the idea of equipping and customizing them and changing the perception of enemies.
I think making them useful like collecting loot is a good direction to take it.
I am also thinking of having a mode that is just, keep your companion alive. That's the whole goal.
Awesome, thanks. Have you come across the green slimes yet? Or are they too simple / easy.
I am looking at either doing companions or enemies in the next update. So now is a great time to share every idea you have on how to do simple improvements additions to those.
What do you mean by properly grab objects? are you referring to the how the weapons sit in the wrong direction in your hand, or something about grabbing other objects?
I am planning on doing a UI overhaul in the next few months, with a new VR system. I could do most of these interactions stuff with a quick fix until than , thanks!
