Hotel R'n'R is LIVE!
Most of you know that by now! But it is, we worked hard to resolve the day one issues and now we are happy to say... Hotel R'n'R is LIVE!
There is more to come, this is an Early Access launch and we have new systems and ideas we'd like to introduce but it relies on your feedback as we go. like "Big Brother" in 1984, we're always watching, be it comments, streams or let's play, we're paying attention and taking note. From wanting to stab the sausage with a fork to how the levels are balanced we're there.
We'll post a bit of info when we've had some sleep but for now, enjoy!
Patch notes:
- Added Index support
- Tightened up Oculus Touch grip/release
- Index Controller snap turn
- Oculus default controls
Roadmap:
- Full details to come but we're planning to open up the firing range to make weapon testing that bit more fun!
Hope you enjoy,
Ryan
Launch incoming, here's what to expect
As we fast approach our deadline, we're working flat out to make R'n'R the best gonzo-smash'em'up ever, here's some of what to expect for launch:
5 Hotels, each bigger then the last with multiple rooms, different themes and unique challenges
Robot crocodile waiters
Addictive gameplay loop with fully voiced narrative and lots of cool things to unlock
Croquet and cakes
4 weird mini-games that have you do The Devils bidding (and gardening)
A car in a swimming pool
Pawn shop with LOTS and LOTS of weapons, enhancers and modifiers
Banging soundtrack designed around the action, influenced by some fantastic bands/artists played by someone who can't even read music
A rider full of guns, fish and explosives, just like El Mariachi
Mini-bar
Color TV
"Hotel R’n’R’s Gloriously Gruesome Destruction Could Deliver VR’s Next Gorn"
Our first preview is live on UploadVR! With video preview.
https://uploadvr.com/hotel-rnr-preview/
With quotes like "This is a technically impressive and inexplicably addictive bit of VR chaos." we're getting pretty excited in the build up to the R'n'R Early Access.
This is an Alpha and we've still got a ton of things to finish and polish but it's shaping up.
Watch the preview video here:

More info to come about mini-games and the later hotels to come this is just the start of it, please follow, wishlist, comment, get involved and all that stuff.

What is Hotel R'n'R?
Check out the short explanation video:
FAQ:
Q: Is it just smashing up hotels?
A: "That is the primary mechanic but that isn't the end of it, the fun is in how creative you get doing it. The maid won't come to check the room until you break a few items so you have infinite time to 'setup' the hotel before any timers start.
We're working hard on the game progression so that you always feel like there is something new just around the corner. Currently there's 29 weapons, modifiers and enhancers for you to purchase, these range from straight up melee weapons such as Boxing Gloves and explosive Firecrackers, to weirder more conceptual things such as a glue gun or the Black Hole."
Q: You make story games, is there a story?
A: "You visit hell, sell your soul to the devil, who is fully voiced, and eventually decide that you want to take it back.The story is light in comparison to A Chair in a Room or The Exorcist: Legion VR but we've recorded plenty of voice back and forth between the hotel staff to keep each playthrough entertaining and fresh"
Q: What else is there to do?
A: "We've created 4 mini-games so far, the video alludes to two of them, Club Lust, in which you create a Frankenstein dancer for The Devil by throwing body parts around a seedy strip club and Sloth, a workout on behalf of the devil with sweatband and all. There's also an underwater scavenger hunt based around a car in a swimming pool for Greed and Pride sees you trimming Satan's bushes.
The hotels also have some environmental activities such as AR bowling in Tokyo and lawn croquet in England, which is good for unsporting losers as you can smash it all up after. "
If anyone has any questions about Hotel R'n'R please ask in the discussions, we've got 2 month until we go into early access so we're going to start chatting more about the process.
