Alien Dawn News

Hi everyone! We hope everyone had a great holiday!

We're back from the holiday ourselves and already at work again on Alien Dawn.


One of the most important comments we've heard from our testers (up to 475 now), is issues with the various controllers for all of the headsets we support in the game.


To solve this issue and check for compatibility with all of the major headset manufactures, Jessica and I built 2 additional work stations with spare parts, each with one of the following headsets installed around our house:

• Vive Pro / With Index Controllers
  
• Vive / With Vive Wands
  
• Oculus Rift S / With Touch Controllers
  
• Windows Mixed Reality / With Mixed Reality Motion Controllers
  
• Windows 10 Desktop PC / With Keyboard and Mouse
  

This will help us test and optimize the game for each HMD much more quickly, and overall give all of you a better experience playing the game regardless of which headset you own.

Look for an update in the coming days, and we're looking forward to chatting with all of you more soon!
