CyberDrifter News

[p]Hi all,[/p][p]With great pleasure I am happy to announce that Cyberdrifter has now launched out of early access and v1.0 is now officially live![/p][p]This is a huge milestone for me as an indie solo developer ːsteamhappyː[/p][p]Additions:[/p][p]Graphical updates[/p][p]Gun added to mission[/p][p]Homing added to disc toss[/p][p]Run toggle[/p][p]misc fixes[/p][p]More content to come next year![/p][p]1 Cyber Drift Track[/p][p]3 Cyber Blast levels[/p][p]Disc Drift updates[/p][p]Prologue chase & tank battle[/p][p]I know there will be disappointed Pico & Quest Virtual Desktop users that aren't able to access at launch. I will begin work on upgrading the game engine so that it can add more up-to-date features and the functionality to detect other headsets.[/p][p]REGARDING LAUNCH PRICE[/p][p]As you can see I was unable to add a discount to the launch price due to a 30 day gap requirement from upping the cost of the game.
Before launch Cyberdrifter was available in Early Access at £14.99 so for launch I added 30% for reasons most will understand.
I will also not be able to enter Cyberdrifter into the Steam Winter sale due to the above.
I know times are tough so if you want to hold off for 30 days I will be putting a 20% off discount live asap in January.[/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy your time on the GRID users! ːsteamthumbsupː[/p]

[p]PICO OWNERS NOTICE OF INCOMPATIBILITY[/p][p]Hi Pico owners, unfortunately I am unable to integrate the PICO SDK (which detects your headset) into a current build as the legacy version of Unreal 4 that Cyberdrifter is developed on (4.19) isn't compatible, as can be sourced here:[/p][p]https://developer.picoxr.com/resources/#sdk[/p][p]"PICO Unreal Integration SDK is the LTS version that supports PICO Neo3,PICO 4 and PICO 4 Ultra series devices. The SDK supports Unreal Engine 4 and 5. Minimum version UE 4.27, maximum version UE 5.6."

Although Cyberdrifter isn't advertised to run on the PICO system this is disappointing as I want every VR user to be able to play.

After launch on Fri 12.12.2025 I will upgrade the engine so I can add the latest SDK's and features, this will also be necessary to release a stand-alone Quest version.

Apologies to current Pico owners who have purchased, please seek a steam refund and keep an eye out for an update coming soon![/p]

[p]UPDATE[/p][p]Hi again, so after a lot of time spent trying to find a workaround it's become obvious that VIrtual Desktop will not detect an Oculus Quest is in use and will always default to Vive/Index controllers/controls.[/p][p]I am unable to fix this until I upgrade the Unreal game engine I am currently using which will take some time.[/p][p]I know this will affect the launch but I'm not going to delay it now at the last moment.[/p][p]Apologies to those affected.[/p][p]-[/p][p]Hi, I have been receiving reports from players that there is currently an issue with Virtual Desktop detecting which headset is in use and so is defaulting to Vive/Index controls which will result in the wrong in-game hand placement and the player will be unable to grab the in-game headset, so far the reports have been from Quest 3 & Pico owners.[/p][p][/p][p]There is also a thread on the Discussions board about the current situation[/p][p][/p][p]I'm working on a fix for launch as I know Virtual Desktop is a well used wireless VR play app.[/p][p]I'll make an announcement when the fix is in place either prior to launch on the 12.12.2025 or at launch.[/p][p][/p][p]In the meantime and to avoid disappointment please be aware you will have to use another means to connect (possibly wired) if you are a Virtual Desktop user.[/p][p][/p][p]Please try the demo before purchasing to avoid disappointment.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your understanding.[/p]

[p]Please take a look at the new cinematic trailer that has been added to the Gallery.[/p][p]Shown exclusively on the UPLOADVR Winter showcase 2025[/p][p]This trailer was produced by Virtual Chap.[/p][p][/p][p]1 week to Launch :)[/p]

[p]Hey, hope you're all excited for the launch of Cyberdrifter on 12.12.2025[/p][p]Some news. . .[/p][p]So after some feedback I have decided to add the gun back into the main mission.[/p][p]I think I was a wee bit swayed with the Ares release ala going disc only, Choice is good too right. [/p][p]A free-throw disc opt (gaze-based at the moment) and homing potential on the disc are other requested additions I will be implementing for the launch.[/p][p][/p][p]If you have tried the demo or played the early access version and have any feedback positive or negative please let me know below or on the forum.[/p][p][/p][p]See you at launch![/p]
