Hello everyone! I got a very exciting build for you today, with a number of revolutionary features, tweaks and bugfixes, which will elevate Resonite to the next level of social VR platforms!
Many people say that Resonite is really hard to get into, so we said to ourselves... what if we made it even harder to use? If you feel up to the challenge, there's a new difficulty setting, allowing you to go from Normal to Hard! How long can you last?
We also get a number of complaints about low performance, so we added a toggle that literally doubles your FPS number! It's that easy, I don't know why we were spending all this time on performance update. But if you still lag anyways, we made sure that it actually hurts now, so everyone around you can know of your suffering. There's even new "IsUserLagging" ProtoFlux node so you can code your own visuals to happen!
Social VR platforms also couldn't exist without their bread and butter... mirrors! Have you ever noticed though that stuff in mirrors is backwards? How are you supposed to read text like that, it's all wrong! No longer! We're introducing a new revolutionary fix that makes mirrors not mirrored, making Resonite the state of the art of social VR technology.
If you'd like to play with these new features, head over to Settings -> Misc and explore what this build has to offer! There's a number of other goodies and we'll leave those as a surprise.
And if you enjoy these features half as much as I enjoyed coding them, considers sharing some of them with the community and on social media, to show everyone all the new exciting possibilities that Resonite now offers!
