State of VR
Unfortunately with good the bad also has to be announced. VR will be officially discontinued from this update and all future updates. Read below to help understand why this decision was made.
Official Developer statement: Please be understanding as to why this has taken effect. I am a student indie developer and want to focus my efforts where 95% of my games audience is to bring great new updates and to add the updates to the 5% audience that plays VR takes DOUBLE the time (I have to recreate everything in the VR Version of the project) This is simply not possible for me, I am happy to have brought out a working version of VR for my game and glad to have contributed to the VR library of games. There is a reason indie games very rarely ever have both PC and VR support, even triple-A games that don't have VR support. I appreciate all of STRANGERS VR Fans' understanding and can't wait to bring exciting content for you all on PC and future games! -Will Codes (Lost Frame Development)
Have a good Halloween!
