🚨 This is NOT the official update for Alien Dawn Alpha 2.0🚨 We're switching the default public branch from the old 2024 build to the latest Playtest build for several reasons: 1. People buy the game after seeing posts about the new version, then launch a two-year-old build instead. Naturally, that isn't the experience I want new players to have. 2. Playtesters potentially use the wrong branc…
If the last update was about porting the game to Unreal 5, this one is about refining the core experience. That means improved performance, better motion controls, and a more fluid gameplay loop. Big thank you to everyone on Discord that helped me play-test this version and gave me their valuable feedback (theloneranger, livid, valor_fall, Thayden, WavformVR, ThaAnimalOne, droneattack, Samuri…
I thought this port from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 was going to take 3 months, maybe 6 tops. It's been exactly a year since I started on this version I'm releasing today. Why switch from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5? There is of course the obvious, better graphics. But the biggest reason I decided to make the move is because all future updates to the PCVR platform are going to…

After that I saw many others do something similar. It's not that I couldn't figure out how to do it because we had weapon interactions on the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, but there were just to many bigger issues that ne…

Hi Y'all, Thank you for being patient as we ported our game Alien Dawn to Unreal 4.27 and the OpenXR API. As mentioned in our last update, this was a fundamental step in creating a modern VR game. Because of this and even though there isn't as much new content as in a usual update, this was the most time intensive but important update yet. The plan moving forward is to continue to polish every…
