New Update Now Live!

Hi all, there is now a fresh update for Water Planet addressing requests and reports:

Update Changelist:
  • Fixed a difficult to reproduce issue where checkpoint recall could act unreliably for some users.
  • Upgraded game engine to a more performant build, this was done to offer better performance in the prospective Mac release but will benefit all platforms!
  • Other minor performance optimizations


New feature:
  • Whalie can now be picked up in Desktop mode, making it much easier to free him. :whalie:


Also worth re-mentioning:
  • The last update brought the Checkpoint System! This was by far the most requested feature to date.


Minor feature to arrive in next update:
  • An option that will allow strafing with the Vive via a launch parameter (-vivestrafeon) which will could be helpful for those using VR treadmills and other accessibility devices.


Please note that the Gamepad (i.g. XBox Controller) works in both VR and desktop modes, but we still plan to fulfill the above request. :aquajellyfish:

Best wishes and happy first day of December!
