RiftInvaders · published

In short:

The game now makes the experimental head steering a bit smoother and more configurable. Also the game is now fully playable with VR controllers.

The changelog in detail for version 0.9.1 is all about Virtual Reality:

  • fixed VR-ingame-UI Z-ordering issue

  • better position and size for ingame-UI in VR mode

  • switched font for better readability in VR mode

  • player can move in Z while ingame in VR mode

  • player can move freely when game is paused or between levels / ship losses

  • experimental: tried to optimize ship head-steering/movement versus ingame-UI:
    UI standing still around player which seems to interfere with player expectations when
    enemy field and player ship move quite fast

  • amount of VR head-steering is configurable in settings

  • experimental: slowed down enemy movement in VR-mode

  • added VR Virtual Keyboard for local highscore input

  • added VR Controller thumbsticks and buttons to steer and use UI, idea: use both controllers like steering a plane

Have Fun!
