Today we are releasing a new update for Hide N Seek VR, adding a new social lobby to it. It contains two rooms:
On the left we added a lot of new game mechanics that will progressively be added to the Hide and Seek maps. The new mechanics you can already try are:
Chests: Chests to hide in. You can not hide inside until you have lifted the top. Same thing, the cat won't be able to catch you unless it lifts the lid. Then you can lift it whenever you want from the inside to take a peak for the cat.
Barrels: Same idea but with a catch. You'll have to precisely put the top of the barrel back at its initial position, or else the cat may spot that someone opened it to hide.
Ladders: The vertical ladders lead you to higher levels by climbing, while the horizontal ladders allow you to pass gaps.
Balance beams: The beams also allow you to pass gaps, provided you manage to keep your balance.
Climbing walls: Climb them to reach higher hiding spots.
Let us know which kind of mechanics you like, so we add them in the Hide N Seek rooms first!
On the right we will add fun games to play while waiting for more players before jumping into the Hide and Seek section. This room is still under construction.
We hope to see you soon in the game!

Update #2: Trackpad locomotion
As we announced a few days ago, we are releasing today the update that brings trackpad locomotion to the game.
Here is how the new mapping of the buttons go on the controllers:
-trackpad (HTC Vive)/stick (Oculus Rift) on right hand: trackpad locomotion
-trigger on right hand: teleportation
-trigger on left hand: ray to start a game or change map
In addition to this, for the trackpad locomotion you can eiher direct your movement direction with the orientation of your controller, or by which part of your trackpad you touch, or by doing a mix of both if you want.
Both teleportation and trackpad will always be active. There is no need to go through a menu or anything to switch between them. This way you can play with either one or both if you want. For example, some hiding spots might be easier to reach with teleportation.
On the upcoming updates, we will bring more maps and more functionalities and game mechanisms.
We hope to play with you soon!

Upcoming update: trackpad locomotion
We had many feedbacks letting us know that many players would be interested in moving in the game using the trackpad rather than by teleportation.
So we decided to add it as an additional way of locomotion for a new update, that should be released in a few days.
Both ways will always be available:
-trigger for teleportation
-trackpad for trackpad locomotion
This way everyone will be free to play Hide and Seek VR the way they prefer to.
We will let you know in a few days when the update is live!
Best,
Infiniverse
Windows Mixed Reality supported
Just a quick update to let everyone know that the game has been fully tested with Windows Mixed Reality headsets, and that it is fully compatible.
We wish to welcome the Windows MR players, and hope to meet them in game soon.

Update #1 and new map - The giant apartment
Hello everyone,
After one week of playing with you - which was a lot of fun! -, and taking good note of your feedbacks, we are releasing a first update.
Here is what's new:
- The "anti clipping through the walls and furniture" system has been toned down, so now you will be able to hide close to a wall without fearing being pushed out of your hiding spot.
- The course of a game has been rethought. Now after each round, the players have the choice between starting a new round with a different cat or changing map if they had enough. Also this means a player who just joined the room will be able to start playing right after the current round and not after a whole game. If the players like this new system, we will then work on improving it even more.
- The atmosphere for the trench map has been redone. The level ambiance now feels heavier and more oppressing (like being in a mine, or in a submarine).
- Smaller modifications: the mice's heads are darker (which makes them harder to find), colliders of the pieces of furniture in which some people were able to hide have been fixed, and the music has been balanced (it is now easier to listen to the cat's position).
But most importantly, we are happy to introduce to you a new map: the giant apartment. To be more accurate, the apartment is at a regular scale. It's the players who are as small as a mice. So we hope you will enjoy hiding under furniture as big as buildings.
We will try to be in game as often as possible this week, so you will be more likely to find people to play with. But if you want to be sure to play with us, or chat with us, we will be in game Saturday 18th from 2 pm to 2 am Paris France time (so that would be GMT+1 if I'm not mistaken).
Another way to easily find people to play with is to join our Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/cngZ445
