Hello fellow Dimensional Travelers! Have a couple of big announcements to make today:
First of which; 0°N 0°W will be exhibited at PAX East in Boston this upcoming April 5 – 8! So if you’re in Boston that week/end come say hi and stop by booth n# 11010, it’s right next to the PAX store and all the AAA booths at the far end. Not only will you be able to play the game if you haven’t already but there will be a live demo of the upcoming VR edition, and now that I mention that the next announcement is...
0°N 0°W will support VR! After giving it much thought I’ve decided that rather than have you all wait for an elusive ‘When it’s done’ release date, the 0°N 0°W VR edition will be developed in an open ‘Early Access’ format, giving you all a chance to jump into this otherworldly reality as soon as possible! Best news of this is that it’ll be a free DLC! Yes that’s right if you’ve already purchased 0°N 0°W all you have to do to participate in the VR beta is download the upcoming DLC, which will be available on April 20th.
That’s a short gif of some friends enjoying the upcoming DLC which will start off with a fully explorable VR edition of the Neon City. So you might ask why a DLC and not part of the game? Well VR involves changing a lot of the game’s architecture and shader format so it requires a complete rework of everything. Since it’s going to take time and will be developed in an ongoing manner there will be a lot of updates, the DLC format saves those that are not interested in VR capabilities from receiving this barrage of patches. So if you’re interested in VR download the DLC, if you’re not then don’t and save some bandwidth. Did I mention it’s free already? I did didn't I? but hey it’s Free! As in Air! Lol.
Today’s last announcement is that 0°N 0°W’s soundtrack will be available as a free DLC on April 20th as well! It’ll feature a large selection of the songs in the game in their full length and best of all lossless Flacs (Mp3 will be included). So again this will be an optional download so as to save bandwidth and HD space from those not interested in the lush soundscapes from 0°N 0°W.
