Second corridor is here! - v0.4.0

For the occasion, we decided to recreate the game trailer in order to showcase and better rappresent the current state of the game.
We are already working on the next corridor and since we are halfway to the end, we also started to design the very last level which we are sure you will enjoy.


Bug fixes highlights:

New features, subtitles and various tweaks - v0.3.0
This update has the goal to improve and simplify the game experience.


Here is a list of new features and game changes:

<*>In-game subtitles (1)
<*>Skippable checkpoints (2)
<*>Minor level design changes
<*>Insights of game ending added
<*>Level indicator label added
<*>Minor bug fixes


(1) Every dialog is now subtitled in english. This option can be toggled via the options menu.

(2) If you are struggling in a part of a level, you can now skip it by teleporting to the next checkpoint using the new button in the quick menu. Every level has a limited amount of time you can use this feature (some are even unskippable). By using this function, your level's highscore won't be submitted to the server. This option is still experimental and might be subjected to malfunctions.

(****)We tuned the timings and the actual forces of the hand thrusters, fixed the double hand thruster not being properly registered

Bug fixes and movements rework
As previously said, in the last 2 days we worked hard in recreating the tutorial to improve the user-experience and change the learning curve for new players.

We've decided to add some videos to show the movements that players needs to use in order to advance through the levels.
The character controller (the part of the code responsible for the in-game movements) has been reworked to have a better experience overall.

If you were disappointed in this game and didn't have a chance to try it at his full potential, we kindly suggest you to give it another try after this update.

Thanks again for the patience!

Improving the tutorial
Since we received multiple feedback regarding the effectiveness of the game tutorial, we started working immediatly on different improvements to let you fully understand the intended movements inside "Escape The Grid VR".

An update will be coming out in the next few days.
Thanks for your patience.
