Hey Everyone. I was on track to release in December, but the flu hit me really hard this month. Being a solo dev, I need to push the release to January for the better of the game and my health. My apologies.
Stay hydrated friends.

We have two livestreams coming up during the Fest week. Come chat with me as you watch me awkwardly play my game.

We're also looking for someone to let us know how it's working with WMR HMD!
And just a quick tip; I've noticed that with SteamVR the game runs a lot better with motion smoothing turned OFF. Let us know if you have a similar experience.
Have a great week!
