Today we released an update that added Oculus Touch support, opened the shotgun achievements back up, and changed the way Vive users grab arrows from the quiver (hopefully the touchpad will be easier on the arms). There is also a snowman.
Patch Notes:
- Oculus: Touch support added
- Vive: players now grab arrows/shells by pushing on the touchpad
- Wingshooter shotgun achievements activated
- Various minor menu changes made
- There is a snowman
We will be holding a shotgun streamer tournament over the holidays, so we wanted to allow more players to unlock these achievements now. More on that to come.
Happy Holidays!
Oculus Touch Integration, enchanted deer sleigh
We are currently wrapping up Oculus Touch integration in Skyhearth, as well as dealing with a sleigh being dragged through the play area by magic deer. We have also revised how players get arrows out of their quivers, and we are refining a few other minor mechanic details as well. We will be releasing an update early next week that allows the use of Oculus Touch and also allows players to deal with the flying sleigh however they choose.
Oculus Rift Touch Support: Coming Soon
We will be adding Touch support in the next week and we can't wait for our Oculus players to get in on the motion-tracked controller fun. So, please bear with us and let us know if you missed out on getting the shotgun mode and would like to see the Wingshooter Classic return.
Cheers!

First of Three Prizes Claimed
The first of the prizes hidden in Plenty: Skyhearth has been claimed by posting:
the word "treasure"
"Treasure" could have been sent to us via email, posted on one of our social media platforms (Facebook,Twitter), or in the discussions here on Steam, as The Law did. The discussion he posted here could be a useful thread for anyone else looking to find the answers to the two remaining riddles. They might not be as simple as the first one!
All winners will receive a Triskelion Ingot, hand forged out of 1 Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver.
Congratulations, The Law!
Good luck to everyone seeking your own piece of treasure...

Shotgun Rewards Are Live
For qualifying participants in the Skyhearth Wingshooter Classic, we have added the new shotgun game mode. After selecting head-aiming or motion-tracked controllers (Vive) and left- or right-handed on the menu, you can toggle between modes by selecting the bow or the shotgun to the left of the menu options. Two-point aiming for motion-tracked controllers, additional effects, and some tweaks will be added in the next few days. Please let us know what you think and post screenshots of your ridiculous new scores in the discussion.
Wingshooter Classic Update
Thank you, players, for making this inaugural Skyhearth Wingshooter Classic a success. We're really happy about the response and grateful for your feedback. Thank you!
Champions, we know you all are excited about receiving your new game mode and shotgun models. It's really important to us that both motion-tracked controller and head aiming are done, good, and most of all fun. They're very close, but we're still tweaking and polishing. It's Thanksgiving here in the U.S, but we'll keep working on the new mode during the holiday and players will be able to access it on Monday after the tournament ends. We hope you'll understand and thank you for your patience.
Don't forget, you still have until Sunday to get the new mode with a score of 50 or better and improve your score to 75 or better to earn the deluxe model.
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving!

Arrow Nocking adjustments
Today we pushed an update that made a few adjustments to the arrow, and the mechanism for nocking the arrow. It should be a bit easier to nock an arrow now.
Cheers!
