Beta/Default Update and Standalone give away for Meta and Pico

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all your support. I'm still working hard on updates and the next beta should be another big one but until then this is a small update that hopefully should fix some issues with controllers not appearing on some systems.

Update notes
Here is a list of the controllers that appear in my controller profiles.

A lot of manufacturers will supply profiles for there controllers and once you've added them they will work. Some manufacturers rely on things like SteamVR and building there controllers to be cross compatible with another controller. I've had reports the PSVR controllers work for example and they don't have an SDK I can use. regardless this is the list and hopefully there aren't any more to add. If there are please let me know as it's a small update that I can easily do.

I've also updated Unity to 6.1, which opens up more possibilities for the future.

The Big Meta and Pico Standalone giveaway

I've got Whirligig on multiple platforms including standalone for quest 1,2,3,pro and Pico 4(might work on other Picos but I've only got that one to test on). After a major update I then move onto getting that version to work on other the other platforms.

Both versions for Meta standalone 2/3/pro and Pico 4 are now available on the Meta Horizon store and Itch.io for Pico (I will be trying to get it on their store as well).

I have a policy that if you own it on one store you can have it on another. So if you want a meta horizon key or an itch.io key, or both, then email me and I'll send one over. My email is [email protected]

I'm also working on Standalone versions for Pimax and Vive focus 3, which will also be available through itch.io so if you have those headsets and want a code in preparation I'll be happy to send one over.

Reviews

I have good amount of interaction from the community on Steam, which a really appreciate, especially when bugs are reported that I can fix. When it comes to the other platforms I'm almost completely unknown. Releasing updates for Standalone is harder and because of that they are less frequent.

This new release is a significant jump from the last version and I really want to let people know it exists. So if you already own it please give a review to help increase engagement. If you don't email me and I'll send a code for whichever store you want but above all I hope you are enjoying Whirligig and want to continue to use it.

All the best and happy watching :)
