Dev diary (update in progress)

20th May 2016

We’ve been busy pulling the game apart and putting it back together in order to make improvements to the hands and add in a locomotion option for people with rooms under 2.5m x 2.5m. Apologies to anyone waiting on Locomotion but we’ve decided that this will be packaged alongside an overhaul on the hands in order to provide a better overall experience.

Plans for the update (Est. 1 week):

Locomotion
- For players who don’t have 2.5m x 2.5m you will have the option to teleport around the space
- This area will be a spacious 3.5m x 4m with the exception of some areas designed to make you feel a bit claustrophobic (not scientifically correct)
- You will be able to set this for either left or right handed use
- There will be an option to use the 2.5m x 2.5m if you don’t want to use teleportation

Options
- You will now be able to clear the saved progress
- All options for Locomotion (open to people with less than 2.5m sq.)

Hands
- Objects can now be passed between hands for easier rotation and positioning without the need to place down on surfaces to manipulate
- When carried, objects will pass through the world, like in The Gallery, to avoid knocking the object out of your hand when hitting a wall or surface
- Updated functionality for future improvements (currently exploring the option of an open beta area to test new functionality outside of the game narrative)
