Hey Everyone,
As usual, we have been busy and now it’s time to share with you the results of our endeavors. As some of you may have heard, we have begun porting Snow Scout to the PlayStation VR2 and of course, that gave us some new ideas how to improve the game. So aside from the usual polishing of little details and minor bug fixes, we have now made almost all interior objects interactable, so you can now put all the objects in your ski huts exactly where you want them … or, you can simply throw them around to let off some steam, hehhe.
We've nicely summed up these changes in a little trailer:

As you can see there, we have expanded on the possibilities of the recently introduced realtime lighting, and added working light switches as well as an actual light source to the lighter. And while we were busy dealing with lighting, we also re-lit all exterior locations to make them look even nicer, and added some visual effects like lens flares for our hand-drawn sun, volumetric light shafts as well as some nice ground fog.
And last but not least, we even added a weather system, so the vegetation is now moving a bit depending on the weather conditions, and there even is some actual snow falling here and there. While this is a kind of subtle effect at first, the showdown of the story benefits greatly from it. So if you haven’t played the game to the end, it’s time to get to work now. And if you have, just do it again - I’m sure there are some achievements left to pick up :D
Of course, big additions such as these always run the risk of introducing new bugs - So if you should come across any issues, don't hesitate to report them here or on our Discord. As always, we reward players who find some issues or bugs or contribute to the game in other ways with Steam keys for games from other studios.

But now, have fun playing and stay frosty!
