CyberDrifter
New Beta update!
Thumbstick control now default (Oculus Touch)
Gun angle adjusted
New sound & particle fx added to the Grav Beam
Various other small fixes & polish
Cyberdrifter 0.6 Update delay as stealth/infiltration gameplay introduced.
It is with deep regret that due to a level replacement the 0.6 update will take a bit longer before release :(
During Level 2's visual upgrade I found that although the level worked as an arcade shooter I couldn't fit it into the storyline.
This level will now be replaced by a stealth/infiltration level with a change of pace and gameplay style.
I can't give an ETA at the moment and I don't want to disappoint again but I'll post an update asap.
ICYMI - A 0.6 Beta is available for testing and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

New 2nd level coming to Cyberdrifter in the 0.6 update!
Cyberdrifter - Release road map!
The good news is I have another 2 levels that are approx 75% complete, before releasing those I thought it was time to start adding the story/plot elements before players start asking themselves "why am I doing this"? Cyberdrifter was never intended to be just an arcade shooter.
I am currently finishing up development on the 0.6 update which adds plot to the current 5 levels and also introduces a Grav-gun which brings great functionality for puzzle elements that are also being introduced (nothing too taxing to break the flow).
I am aiming for 0.6 to be ready by the end of this month.
Now that I have a storyboard I am happy with I am aiming to release 3 more levels to complete the game, these will be slightly longer & more involved, combining gameplay elements learned previously. I will hold back at least one of those from early access for the full release.
Level 6 estimated release Nov/Dec 2018
Aiming for full release around May 2019 giving the game a 2 year development period.

Upcoming 0.6 story content details & beta news!
Beta content & changes:
New opening title screen & story plot/mission scenes
Revamped tutorial & opening level
New visuals & new enemies with added tactics
The player is now equipped with a 'Grav-gun' that can manipulate objects & enemies from afar, as well as blast them!
The off-hand shield has been replaced - you can now 'grav' an enemy & use it as the shield!
Holding/utilising an object with the hand that is simultaneously controlling the player doesn't feel intuitive & has been disarmed. The 'Grav Gun' has you covered!
Inky black walls with neon lighting was the vision but in reality facing a black wall in VR isn't a great experience so all black walls are now textured & lit for easier navigation.
Ammo/shield pick ups from enemies & dispensers are all 'grav' able, they can now come to you!
Vignette while moving option added.
The beta will be made available next week and an announcement will be posted.
Thanks for your support.
