Quick Update I'm working on a new patch with some general improvements and am also looking at a new Arcade Mode. The new mode will hopefully allow players to quickly skip to various experiences in the game. This should be a good way to demo the wide variety of VR experiences in Dimensional to your friends without having to play through the whole game for hours. It will also be more ideal for us…

That's no good, I want you to enjoy the full game and experience everything I've been working on during this 18 month project :) I've created a game guide to help you find all the secrets and guide you through some of the more tricky puzzles. View Game Guide If you're stuck anywhere not covered by the guide please let me know and I will help you out and maybe exte…
I'm pleased to announce that the full release of Dimensional is now live. If you played the early access version, I highly recommend starting the game from the beginning. There have been lots of changes over the months. Thanks to all the people that provided feedback, reported bugs and helped test the game. Watching videos of people playing the game was especially useful too, so thank you for t…
As we approach the full release of Dimensional I'm looking for volunteers to play through the entire game and try to find all the secrets. In return you'll be listed in the credits level as an official beta tester. Getting the level of difficulty right is very hard to do when you're working alone. Having designed the levels, the objectives are obvious to me, but may be obscure to everyone else.…
Oculus Touch Native Oculus Touch support is live in Dimensional. Remember to pick the Oculus option when launching in Steam. Gamepad support is still intact together with support for a single tracking camera. Don't worry about tracking camera placements Dimensional has supported room-scale style gameplay since the DK2 so you shouldn't have to worry too much about tracking camera positions and c…
I'm now working on the final level of Dimensional and we are drawing closer to the full release. The plan · Nov - Release patch with support for Oculus Touch · Dec - Final beta testing · Dec - Release version 1.0.0 Version 1.0.0 will bring 3 new levels, more narrative and general improvements. If you know of any bugs or parts of the game that were too hard or frustrating, please let me know so…
The patch released today should fix two problems for Oculus Rift users. * The game now doesn't crash when loaded without the "-vr" command line option * You should not see a message about not owning the game. If anyone else still has problems please try uninstalling then reinstalling the game to ensure the change from 32bit to 64bit copied all required files. Please let me know if you have any…
I'm currently trying to release a new build but am having lots of problems with the configuration files which is leaving the game unplayable. I'll try and fix the issue as soon as I can. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Halloween update A new update has been released today including a Halloween challenge in the Trials level. This points-based trial is intended as a bit of fun for you and your friends. Use Digby to smash deadly pumpkins before they get to you. Smash them using parts of the environment for extra points. Push them into fans, electric walls or spikes. Activate the gigantic pendulum to take out loa…
The latest version of Dimensional brings lots of changes including, improvements to the user interface (more to come later), lots of bug fixes and improvements to existing levels and a brand new level. Important: New levels are unlocked after attempting (not necessarily completing) the previous level, so load your last unlocked level to unlock the next. The new level (They're listening) concent…
New content Level 6 experiments with tight spaces and attempts to make you feel a little claustrophobic in places. It includes two optional secret messages and obscure areas to find and access. Digby also gets another temporary power-up to play with. The new trial “Blocks” , has you smashing blocks before they smash you to see if you can get a high score . Bug fixes and changes Taller players h…
The free demo for Dimensional has been extended to include the new challenge “Lasers” in the "Trials" level and “The Jump” which is found in the credits level. I've added these to the demo to reflect the broad range of experiences I'm aiming for with the full game and because both should be a fun way to introduce friends to VR. Lasers Dodge and jump lasers as they increase in frequency and spee…
Some of you said that you would like more of a challenge and to have your pulse raised. During the main campaign I try to include unique moments and give you time to become immersed and appreciate the situations you find yourselves in. The levels will become increasingly difficult, but I also wanted to have separate challenges where I can turn the intensity up to 11. Introducing “The Trials” Va…
Updated to latest versions of Unreal / Oculus SDK Audio output Changed to try to ensure that audio is sent to the desired output device Droid status on HTC Vive On HTC Vive you can get the status of droids by pointing your laser pointer at them rather than looking at them. This allowed me to remove the blue dot that showed where you were looking. + other small changes and fixes More improvement…
I’ve been on holiday recently (which was greatly needed), so expect more changes and improvements going forward. Recalling Digby You can now make Digby immediately teleport to your position by pressing Y on your gamepad, or left grip button on your Vive controller. Limbo Graphics of limbo have been toned down to be less "trippy" as requested by a few players. New Vive FPS controller option By d…
Just a quick update to let you know what's happening. July July releases will focus on improving the existing levels and mechanisms. This includes: * Extra checks to ensure everyone's Vive controllers are behaving * Investigating improved FPS controls * Testing bluetooth headphones * Tracking bug where positional audio can die until game is restarted * Changing limbo graphics to be less "trippy…
Some important fixes in this patch include: Positional teleporting - missing GO icon Sometimes when you were asked to move over the GO icon during a positional teleport, the icon would be missing. I couldn't reproduce this but believe it was due to an incorrect startup sequence. It shouldn't happen now, but if it does: 1) please tell me. 2) the reset button on your controller will allow you to…
Thanks for the useful feedback on jumping. Some changes are now live that I hope will make it more enjoyable for you. 1) If you are off the floor when the laser passes, you should clear it. Previously I used a collision detection where your feet where calculated (poorly) to be. Cheating will still fail, such as standing on a chair, because it constantly checks your height. You will probably be…
One of my players is still having problems with his Vive controller when shooting Digby. I'm trying this patch to make the right trigger fire slightly earlier to see if it helps. I'll be reworking the Vive trigger coding next week, but please let me know if this makes things any worse or better for any of you in the meantime.
Some players have experienced issues with their Vive controllers not firing Digby unless they manually make sure the trigger is fully released. I've reduced the sensitivity a little on the trigger to try and prevent this, together with some other changes. My controllers work fine, so can the people who experienced this please let me know if it resolves the issue or if further tuning is required…
