Hope you’re doing well! I am happy to report that was have finally reached the end of the Update 72 alpha phase, and with all limbs (mostly) intact as well!

It’s a long devlog today, so I’m not going to go over everything that was in the video again in text here. Just wanted to cover a couple quick things I forgot to fully cover.

I have _finally_ relented and gotten a twin-stick style of locomotion working (took some nasty refactoring), though please try to remember there is nothing I can do about the fact that using this mode on Vive/Rift means that you cannot access weapon/object function using that touchpad/joystick while also using it for movement. So in this way, implementing it for all platforms is a bit of a… ‘you asked for this, and I gave it to you, even though I don’t think you’re going to want it’. It does however work unquestionably great on the controller types with multiple 2-axis inputs per controller.

Anyone out there with Index Controllers should give the game a shot with them now! (though I haven’t tested it with EV3s, so I don’t know how well/if it will perform with the older prototypes).

Lastly, as I mentioned, if you are on Rift, and run into Haptics issues, please try both the release version of SteamVR and the beta, and tell me which of them works/doesn’t work. I have a line to the folk at Valve working on it, so having data/repro cases to work things out would be excellent!

Anywho, hope you enjoy the update!

Cheers,
Anton
