Hi everyone,
We've set the beta build to live today. Please let us know if you have any issues with the update and we'll do our best to remedy them as soon as possible.
New Features:
- Stegosaurus! - He's pretty fun, still needs to be a bit smarter about which side he attacks from, but still a lot of fun to see and fight against. His tail attack should kill other dinosaurs if they're in his way!
- Mercenary Credits - Mercenary missions now earn you a new currency type! This currency will be use to purchase gear upgrades in the near future. Examples include a six and eight slot backpack, new machetes, stat boosting upgrades, and weapons.
- Better hand registration and tracking on Oculus Touch - we realized the hands were pretty off on Touch after the initial release. They should match up better now, as well as feel less jittery, as we've smoothed the rotations on them a bit.
Other work being done:
- Survival mode save system - we have storage lockers working to save your gear in various places in the level.
- Searchable Vehicles and Doors - figuring out a good way to do doors let us create openable vehicle doors to let you search through things and find new gear there. We'll also be putting these doors on buildings as well. This opens up a lot of new gameplay elements.
- Mercenary Credits store is coming along. This is the vendor with whom you'll spend your Merc Credits.
As always let us know if there's any issues.
The Summer Sale price continues for another week, and we're out on Oculus Home today as well!
We made a sweet new trailer for that, check it out!
