New "Grip Interact Update" is Live in Beta

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in getting this updated.

Last Beta update notes here:
http://steamcommunity.com/games/476700/announcements/detail/1298571331991312630

In addition to those new updates, there is also a major change to the gameplay that you should be aware of, and which may take some time to adjust to, which is that,,,

Pickups/grabs are now on the GRIP button for Vive or the HAND TRIGGER on Touch (i think that's what it's called).

This is similar to the Arizona Sunshine control scheme. If you've played that, if should feel more familiar to you, and if you haven't... what's wrong with you go buy that game it's awesome.

In other news, I've got Stegosaurus mostly working in game now!!! He's not in this update b/c he needs more animations and sound effects and some AI adjustments, but he's already super cool.

I've also started revamping our tutorial and tutorial tools, so I make no guarantees that the current tutorial level is not broken at the moment. I still need to adjust the button mapping stuff in there as well so it tells you to use grip instead of triggers... but i might just wait until the new WAY MORE AWESOME tutorial mission is done.

Please let me know if you experience any major issues in this beta update. I'm hoping to launch this as a live update to the game on Monday or Tuesday.
