It's been a little while since we updated you guys on the progress of Kismet, so I have some news to share.
First, a big THANK YOU to everyone out there who has tried Kismet and recommended it to a friend. In these early days of VR, your support has been HUGE for us. Kismet has been downloaded thousands of times all over the world, and the reception has far exceeded our original hopes and dreams for this quirky experience. We appreciate the positive reviews we've gotten here on Steam especially, where we've consistently held a 90%+ positive rating. If you've ever doubted if these user reviews matter, you can stop doubting it--they do!
Here is what the Kismet dev team is exploring right now.
- Mobile Kismet - While we built Kismet for PC, we have heard from a lot of fans that mobile platforms are their only way into VR right now. We would love for you to be able to try our experience, so we're investigating how a mobile port would work.
- Non-VR Kismet - We've also heard from PC owners who would like to try Kismet without investing in a headset. Having focused on creating something with real potential to appeal to a wide audience, it's time to reach out to that audience the best we can. VR continues to be the best way to experience the immersive design of Kismet, but as headset adoption rates take their time moving up, we want to keep sharing our work with more people who might truly appreciate it.
- Additional Headsets - Technology is moving fast, and we intend to keep up with it. From VR to AR, we are as excited as everyone else for what the future holds.
- Additional Languages - English not your primary language? We've been translating Kismet into Spanish, French, and German, and are on our way to getting those languages into the experience.
- Hitting the Road - In the past year, Kismet has been available for demo at events like IndieCade, Ciclope, and UploadVR's E3 and GDC events. These won't be the last chances to try Kismet at a show or expo near you.
- New VR Games - Kismet wasn't the only project that Psyop will be releasing in VR. We're already hard at work on our next full VR-native game, with additional projects gearing up as well. As soon as we have more to share with you, we will!
