If you could opt in and confirm the update working/not working that would be a huge help.
Instructions are pinned on the discussions page.
Thanks

UPDATE is on hold
I am unable to reproduce any crashes at the moment. The only think different with my testing stations would be that I have both steam vr and oculus home open at the same time. That's possibly why I see no crashes.
Either way hopefully the update with be back up and working within a few days.
Sorry for the inconvenience

Progress update and video demonstration
Sorry for the delay in an update, I am working as hard as humanly possible to improve the project.
A play through demonstrating the new interactive features that allow the user to create and shape their environment.
Expect an update for the Oculus rift with these new features in April 2017 with a HTC Vive update shortly after.
Please share your thoughts. Locomotion is also being looked at, I will post a video with a demo on that soon.
For those that watch the video and hear my blunder. Honestly, I know that the earth is not a sun.

UPDATE: Fixes for OculusSDK
Not a very glamorous update I'm afraid.
A fix for OculusSDK users and another water update(thus the large patch size)
The water has transparency and also supports buoyancy which will be important as we add interaction to the environments (throwing/floating objects).
Excluding any issues that crop up I would like to shift focus toward a major content update next. Including alternative movement and some additional locations.
Thanks to Oculus users for your patience this week.
- Fixed oculusSDK support
- Added new water with transparency and buoyancy properties.
UPDATE: Hotfix to support motion controllers and fix for water reflection offset
Hello everybody.
Nature Treks now supports input from motion controllers so you no longer need a separate controller to play.
Here is an image showing the equivalent input for Vive users.
This is a hot fix only. Proper support for motion controllers is in the pipeline.
Also added in a hotfix for water reflection offset. This disables transparency for now. Alternative water solutions are being looked at.
- Added support for motion controllers
- Fix for water reflection offset
- Toned down some bloom
