Hey folks,
We have just released the new update VR-Xterminator Version 1.2, and it's a pleasure to announce that the game now fully supports Oculus Rift. Besides the Head Mounted Display, two Oculus Touch Controllers as well as at least two tracking cameras and enough space are needed.
In addition to that, this update also includes some major bug fixes and our first approach to reduce the neck strain. We have transformed the game area from a cubic framework to a frustum, which leads to the fact that the dragons spend much less time on higher layers of the playing area, and a large part of the gameplay moves further downwards. In doing so, we have ensured that the total volume of the play area remains approximately the same, which is why we have increased the playable space on the ground by 75%. This makes it possible to keep the game view mainly diagonal by foresighted positioning the platform.
As already mentioned, this is our first approach to tackle the neck strain. We are aware that it won't be possible to completely eliminate the problem without completely removing the gameplay above the player. Nevertheless our aim is to keep the current classic gameplay, so we want to minimize the problem in this mode, while working on a completely new ground-oriented mode.
