Hello again
I've not been releasing many updates recently as I've been working on the Oculus Go and GearVR version. This version is currently in beta and not released yet. If you want to try the beta let me know by email me [email protected]
However I've still been improving the player and trying add new features along the way and I've done quite a bit of optimization. here are some of the new features:
- Room projection changed. Hopefully this will be an improvement. I’m currently adding new room updates so this was part of that. Note living room is a bit dark at the moment but will be fixed very soon.
- New rooms added. Loft day time, Loft night time and Large cinema.
- Font update. Hopefully this should improve the look of the UI.
- Update to all the plugins and Unity3D build.
- Adding support for multi language support. Currently I have a preliminary option for Chinese (I have a Chinese friend helping me out with that) I hope to add Spanish soon as well. The option to change the language is under settings/interface/main options.
- Added an option to hide controllers when playing, under settings/other/input.
- Fixed issues with the keyboard layout being wierd or wrong. This might require resetting keyboard options.
- Code optimisation.
In truth I think I've done loads more changes but I don't really know what they are. If you see any I've forgotten to mention let me know.

In discussion you get a notification if someone has replied to a post but if you post at the bottom of a news feed then you don't get that notification so it can be easily to miss a reply. I check these news post regularly (mostly). If you do post here with an issue or suggestion please check manually to see if I've replied to your comment. I don't want people to think I'm ignoring them :)
And Finally
So that's this times update. I've got a lot of requests for new features which I hope to work on soonish. I'm still working on the Oculus Go version and need to release that. The biggest thing that's stopping that release is network location support. If you have any ideas how to implement that in Unity3D let me know.
You can check out the list of features I'd like to add here:

I am still up for more suggestion though. I added new rooms in the last update because I saw a nice asset on the store and knew how to implement it so for my own sanity I added some. You might suggest something that will be easy for me to add and might get put in soon.
Anyway I hope you like this beta. If you have any problems let me know. Adding bugs can often happen especially if you're trying to improve the code.
Thanks for supporting Whirligig allow me to keep going with the project.
All the best and happy watching.
