Why add VR? Well, Why not? Don't worry, this won't take us away from the main road map. It was not a lot for us to add this feature. However, this game is not a VR game, so our VR feature is only there to let players admire the ship they build in an immersive way.
Update notes:
- added Steam VR support
- added the VR Station furniture
- added VR drone that lets player take a virtual tour of the ship when using the VR Station
- added VR player controller and collision physics (not perfect, you might fall out the ship and have to restart the game)
- added teleportation mechanics in VR
- added a RoboCorp Droid on to the RoboBed furniture
- added ragdoll physics to RoboCorp Droid on the RoboBed furniture when entered VR mode
To take the VR tour of your ship:
1) go to the hanger and install the VR Station furniture into a ship module
2) attach the ship module with the VR Station to your capital ship
3) walk up to the ship and enter VR mode
4) put on your VR headset
5) Controls: movement - Left controller thumbstick, turn - Right controller thumbstick, teleportation - Right controller thumbstick Click
6) to exit VR, go back to the VR station and physically push the "Exit VR" button in VR then take off your VR headset to resume the game
Please note that the framerate might drop a few (not too noticeable) after you exit VR and have the VR headset plugged in. To increase framerate back to normal, simply unplug the VR headset and select "quit SteamVR" when prompted. This framerate glitch will be fixed in a later update.
