Welcome to the first big news for Playable Alpha.
Firstly I want to apologize for everyone who is still in it for a looter shooter.
It is now a survival game on a newly discovered planet.
Making a shooter in VR turned out to be in insane amount of work, so I pulled the plug before it pulls mine.
The game is slowly reaching a playble state and the demo is in full swing on its way.
Here is a current state of affairs video.
Keep in mind it will be a version 0.00001 so don't expect too much .. BUT here is a rundown of what is already implemented:
1. Survival mechanics: Health, oxygen, water, food
2. Base Building basics: Everything planet surface related, e.g. solar panels, wind turbines, fabricator
3. Powergrid mechanic. Yes there are powergrids.
4. Jetpack mechanic
5. Saving and loading, though for the first demo release it might be a one slot only save
6. VR Player with hands, there is no full person rig yet, also not planned, yet
7. Playble while seated or standing, I suppose room scale works too, but I can't test that
Visually everything consists of placeholders for now.
Don't expect an AAA title, please.
I am looking forward to bringing you more news soon.
Demo date is estimated to be within 1-2 months tops.
It will also remain the "full version" of the game until way later in time.
You could call it early access if you will, but as the game is miles away from an early access, so I decided to go with the demo tag instead :)
