Small Dev Update

Hello, apologies for the lack of updates but I've been very busy with work and haven't had time to work on Ergo, I've made a list of stuff I plan to get out for the next update

Ergo will be getting ported to VRGK 3.0, Ergo currently runs on VRGK 2.0, i've seen the improvements with 3.0 and I know it's a must for Ergo, better performance and cool systems and mechanics which'll make the playing experience more unique.

this will take some time as I am VERY busy with work and 3.0 hasn't released yet.

Some parts of the game... nicest thing to say, they suck, so i'll be attempting to ramp up the challenge or replacing them altogether

I have many plans for this game, expect more in 2023!


I'm also happy to take suggestions

Ergo Beta Branch Update

Hello, as said previously, updates would be slow, however I have updated the Beta Branch with a lighting upgrade, the worlds now feel prettier to look at, while nothing's finished yet I have included some comparison screenshots for you to look at

Patchnotes

Additions

  • Some new assets will appear throughout the levels


Changes

  • The game no longer has a tint of green!
  • Re-enabled texture streaming
  • Enabled Virtual Textures
  • Redesigned the Ergo item transport system
  • Optimised button pathing
  • Redesigned a level (unfinished but better than before)



Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where you could grab the collision of a vent, causing your hand to be stuck in place
  • Fixed a bug where cups would break into the same piece
  • Fixed object displacements
  • Moved spawn placements of destructible parts (to decrease chance of physics explosion related crashing)


I'm reworking the item spawning system to help keep the game running smooth, this system only applies to "Test one" and "Test three" as of writing but I will try to get it on all levels by the next Beta Update

When's the next update?

It's been several weeks without an update, when is it coming? - I'm working on it, trying to make each level feel different visually and (if possible) gameplay wise, Once I have something worth releasing it'll be within the Beta steam branch.
