Hey all, here's a little update to celebrate the start of the new year!
- Steam Achievements are now supported. Notes: Since Vanishing Realms supports multiple player profiles on a single Steam account, achievement progress is uploaded to Steam based on the LAST player to play on an account, as well as on the last checkpoint that player passed in-game. Overall, these are the same achievements you could previously earn in-game, but now the entire world can witness your VR awesomeness!
- Faster Glide speed. Top speed while sprinting is now a little faster.
- No joystick click required for Oculus Touch. Some players felt that holding down the trackpad/joystick while sprinting was difficult for longer durations. Now if you select the faster movement option from the pause menu, increased glide top speed remains in effect full time. You can still control overall glide speed by the position of the trackpad/joystick.
- Smarter Oculus Touch sensing. Some Oculus Touch players also felt that clicking the joystick to teleport or clicking to 'snap turn' was overly difficult. Oculus players no longer need to click - just push the right joystick forward to bring up teleport, or push leftward/rightward to snap turn. As before, you must first enable turning in place in the pause menu to try out the snap turn feature.
- New Language Support. Vanishing Realms now supports Simplified Chinese language in-game and on the Steam store page. The language may be selected either through the overall Steam settings, or via the Language tab found in the Properties settings by right clicking the game in your library. Not a big deal for English language speakers, but the game does look pretty cool with all those neat looking Chinese 'runes' :)
