Minor Update and News

This update brings a couple minor updates to the game.

The most prominent is that the VR notification popup has been pushed a bit higher and further out to address some concerns that you will go cross-eyed looking at it XD.

Also changed is the Non-VR mode within Steam should disable all VR without you having to unplug your HMD. All good news.

As I mentioned in the last update, I will be away for about 5 weeks to globe trot a little bit and, well, get married. So you can expect more updates around the end of July.

These updates will be substantial!

  • Helmet mounted HUD to show player positioning, timing, other skimmers, motion telemetry, damage, etc.
  • Complete Garage rebuild so you can modify your skimmer while its flying in real time. 5th time the charm.
  • Refined levels, probably a whole new Noctis Chasma.
  • Introduction to the HammerHead
  • Ram Bar/Landing Skid bolt-on parts
  • Refined Quick Race system to have multiple skimmers to choose from.

Now, on to important business.

The next Steam-wide sale will be the last sale for Vector 36 before it becomes a final release . After that, the price will increase to a yet undisclosed amount. Final Release will include more levels, more skimmers, and extra fun things, but I have already said too much.

Those of you who have purchased the DLC in the EA phase, I thank you so much for your support of the game and you will be rewarded when the game is in final release. I may remove DLC sales for this last push up to Final Release, but haven't decided yet.

Once again, thank you to the players, your response and feedback has been humbling and motivating. Feel free to let me know what you think on the forums, and if you like what you see, give it a good review on Steam reviews.

Cheers!
