Ever since I first played VR, I knew I wanted to bring one of my games into that world. This is my first ever VR title and I’ll admit - it’s been a big shift from traditional game development. But it’s been an amazing experience so far. I learned a lot, and will continue to learn as time goes on.[/p][p]I’m committed to improving Trenches VR with your help. Your feedback means everything, and it’s how we developers grow and make our games better. So please, don’t hesitate to share your honest thoughts and suggestions - they truly help a lot.[/p][p]I really hope you enjoy your time in the trenches, and once again - thank you all so much for the support.

[p][/p][p]Hey everyone!

Hope you're all doing great.. it's been a while! First off, I want to apologize for the silence. Things have been a bit hectic lately as I've been hard at work on a couple of new game projects. But I come bearing some exciting news!
[/p][p]Let’s talk about Trenches.

This was the very first game I ever created .. basically the project that kicked off my journey. It holds a special place in my heart, like a first child (haha). I know it wasn't perfect, and I completely understand that it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But every bit of feedback along the way has been a chance to learn and grow — and I’m committed to always improving.[/p][p]Back on July 20th, 2021, someone asked if Trenches would ever come to VR. At the time, I had no clue how VR even worked. But these last couple of years, I dove deeper into the world of virtual reality (while also working on my main projects) learning, experimenting, and building — all in hopes of making DAN-di-WARhol’s dream a reality.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And yesterday, I finally announced Trenches VR whic his being published by Prep Games and coming to PCVR and other major platforms! This is my first-ever VR title, and I’m beyond excited. You can check out the official trailer below!

I’m fully committed to delivering hopefully a great horror VR experience. As always, your feedback really really helps a lot. In fact, after yesterday’s trailer dropped, I received a ton of suggestions - and instead of kicking back this Saturday, I dove right back into development to address some of that feedback. Here’s a little sneak peek of the improvements in the works!

[/p][p]Also – good news for fans of the original Trenches as I’ve rolled out some updates for it too! These include:[/p]

• [p]FPS lock and sync options.[/p]
• [p]Adjustments to a few jumpscares.[/p]
• [p]Monster behavior tweaks.[/p]
• [p]New sounds and audio.[/p]
• [p]General bug fixes.[/p]

Hello! How is everyone doing? Been a while!

This is a small update because we had reports about some bugs, and also done some additional improvements.

Game Patch: V2.6.0 is live!

I would like to thank you as always for your support, suggestions and feedback along the development of Trenches. I really appreciate your support, as a solo developer this really means so much to me as always. I try to always do my best in updating the games!

- Fixed an issue where the player falls off in the hiding zone.
- Changed some collider issues in the map, making some other hiding zones falling outside the map.
- Fix an issue with the monster where sometimes he is not able to get your microphone input.
- Updated some sounds and animations for the jumpscares.
- Updated some randomized jumpscares in the game to be less frequently.
- Objectives is more outlined to show you where it is, especially if within a certain radius.
- Increased the texture sizes of walls, floors and other props to make it look a bit better.
- Fixed some other minor bug issues.
- 'No Jumpscare mode' have also been updated with these changes.

Hopefully, we have some BIG NEWS related to Trenches soon which I can't share for the moment, and I am currently working hard to try and get it out as soon as possible - so Trenches fans please stay tuned! :)
