Ground Runner: Trials
Future of GR:T
For those of you who have purchased GR:T already, thank you! It's been great reading your constructive feedback and it's nice to hear that so many people would like to see more future content for the game.
Astrofish Games has been a dev team of two with a couple of contractors for audio/VO. We were one artist and one coder. It was a tough game to make and we really wanted to develop a game which was unique and tackled some of the big issues in VR such as fast paced motion and high fidelity graphics to name a few. We wanted to build something that hasn't been done in VR before and which showed a snapshot of what bigger games could be in the future.
VR is a hard market to operate in and unfortunately we no longer have the capability to provide updates to Ground Runner: Trials.
Personally I still love the game and I'd like to come back to it in the future when the market is a bit more mature and we can do the IP/Mechanics justice with a much bigger title. Right now I'm focusing on pivoting the company so that maybe in a few years we can do this.
Thank you again for all your support and for anyone new to the game, please try it out!
If you have any questions, please send them either via Facebook, or Twitter @astrofishgames.

Arcade Mode - Now Live
Hello!
We've now pushed the first iteration of our Arcade Mode for GR:T.
By popular demand, "Arcade Mode" is meant to allow players to jump straight into the action after playing the initial tutorial level. As you upgrade you bike and pick up new thrusters, you will be able to do more and find further objectives.
This is a work in progress whilst the game is still in EA.
We'll be pushing more objectives regularly and will grow this mode over time.
We have also updated comfort mode to include dynamic FOV during accelleration and collision.
Hope you enjoy it!
COMING SOON! (April 2018): Arcade Mode - NEW MAP!!
By popular demand we are introducing a *Jump Straight In* Arcade mode to the game this coming month. This will have a brand new map x4 the size of existing maps.
The idea is that players can jump in and fight NPC's by finding weapon pickups. If you have upgraded your bike enough you should be able to find all the weapons, however the map is designed to test you, so you will find weapon pickups in areas asociated with difficulty, which means either being a bad ass! Or upgrading your bike to the appropriate level to reach that area.
We want to expand on this open world concept further. We're in the process of prototyping new bikes and weapons so will roll these out as they are fnished.

As always - thanks for purchasing the game and hope you have a blast!
ANNDD... We're live folks!
We've had some post launch hickups the past 5/6 hours due mainly to being new to Steam and finding our way around actually launching the game. We thought we had done everything correctly apart from one cruicial thing - add the build depot to the release!
We really hope you enjoy this first release and taste of what it's like to be a Ground Runner! As always we'd love to hear from you :)
The game is in Early Access so constructive feedback is always appreciated and taken onboard.
