Chamber 19
Update: Official OSVR support, bug fixes, small performance boost!
We have partnered with OSVR to officially support the headset! This update also includes a few minor bug fixes. Notably, we also upgraded from 32bit to 64bit, so performance should be slightly better.
Thanks!
AI, Bug Fixes, better visuals!
This update includes a small hive based AI for the enemies, which makes them feel more like actual ships and not just objects that follow your hand around!
In addition, as many of you know Unreal Engine 4.14 came out which enables the Forward Renderer for VR. This allowed us to super-sample a little and use better Anti-Aliasing, so everything should be much clearer now!
Finally, some minor tweaks were made that should help both CPU and GPU performance, along with a few bug fixes. The most notable of which is that the third map was unusable in the last update, but it is fixed now, and exiting via steam's overlay is a little bit faster and correct now.
Some of the smaller bug fixes are listed below:
Fixed menu pointer not showing up
Fixed drone vibration in hand when moving not working
Fixed some menu buttons being hard to press
Fixed random music stopping
Fixed a crash that would happen when too many enemies were on screen
Thanks!
Update! Halloween over! Performance improvements again! Brand new music!
We have a pretty small update for everyone today that mainly removed the Halloween theme since it's November now, but I also included a few other quick things. There's about a 10% performance increase across the board and new music that we hope you all will love! Finally, we fixed the antivirus issue, and no longer will there be any false positives!
Thanks!
HOTFIX - Way better performance on second map, fixed pumpkins blocking scores!
We noticed some performance issues in the second map caused by bad lighting, and fixed it up.
Also, some pumpkins were blocking the score, and we moved those right out of the way.
Full Launch & Halloween theme!
The official release is out!
We have added yet another map, made many bug fixes, replaced the menu with a point and click menu, added high quality models to all the enemies, made better music, and finally spookified everything in the spirit of halloween!
We hope you all enjoy the updates!

Almost Done!
We would like to extend our gratitude for supporting Chamber 19 through the early access phase. For the past several months, we have been taking in your feedback, especially those who were concerned about our similarity to Xortex. We have been planning and designing a full overhaul of this game. We have added professional models, excellent descriptions, and new weapons for you to deal with, along with a few other undisclosed features we know you guys will love. In the following days, we will release some pictures and descriptions of our new overhaul. We can’t wait to finally exit early access! In closing, I want to thank you to all those who have backed us so far. You can expect this update sometime within 2-4 weeks! Who Knows? A revolutionary RPG might be coming in the next year! :)
