Hi everybody.
It has been too long since our last patch, and I apologized for that. These last months have been a kick in the groin for me, but it seems like things are finally getting back on track, and the same goes with this game.
We still have one episode in the works, and a handful of rooms in the other episodes that haven't gone live yet. I need to be cautious not to make too optimistic estimates, all I can say with certainty is that they will be complete before this years end.
The patch today contains mostly rewrites and optimizations, while we are working our way closer to our final goal, full VR support for both Oculus and Vive users.
This was my plan since the beginning of this game, but getting the equipment was easier said than done, but now we have the tools needed to fully develop and test for VR.
As for the rest of the backlog, I've taken December off from work, enabling me to both relax but also get the hacksaw out and finish up some more sweet puzzles, mysteries and riddles for Last Will.
Please enjoy this patch, and we hope to return to a steady stream of patch updates within a respectable time-frame.
