Espionage escape room adventure Fixer Undercover hits Steam in July with VR and flatscreen support. Details here: uploadvr.com/fixer-undercov…

Official Update: We’re in positive discussions with potential acquirers and working to find the best path forward for creators, customers, and our team. We’ll share more updates soon. We’ve spent over a decade building for creators and will do everything we can to keep supporting this community.

Hear me out, VR Download isn't dead. @UploadVR @Heaney555

Hey all! To continue our commitment to provide more communication to the community, we wanted to give an update on the Secret of the Mimic PC VR launch. Here’s the plan as of today, barring any pesky 1’s or 0’s acting up out of nowhere! PC VR is currently planned for the middle of next week. We’re finalizing a patch for a pesky issue related to SteamVR framerate overrides, and our QA team is currently confirming the fix. For a little inside info: whenever we have a new build to test, our internal QA team has to run a full test sweep, which takes days. We don’t just test the things that were patched, we also make sure we didn’t accidentally introduce some new wonkiness elsewhere. For this title, testing is a little extra spicy because we functionally have two different versions of the game: Flat Mode and VR. That means QA has to test both independently. Once PC VR launches, we’re planning to release the PlayStation VR2 patch as soon as possible so we can maintain parity between both platforms.  Thanks for the patience!

This... feels like a self own. None of the 'assisted' pics look better.

@iansabout87 If you had only one flat PS exclusive to come over to VR, what would you pick?

@LiveOpenMike Actually the psvr2 community are big supporters of hybrid. We push more vr Devs to hybrid often

Moss Book 2 (the second half of this new version) is a top 5 all time VR game for me. In light of their recent layoffs, this just makes sense. I know the PS VR2 community likely won't take this well and believe me, I get it, but IMHO, this is a bid to save the company.

@PsvrFanatic 100% agreed. I was heartbroken when I heard about the layoffs and I want Polyarc Games to be around for the long haul moving forward. 🤞 this release is a step towards that.

@LiveOpenMike I'm not sure about the PSVR2 being offended. I think we're the biggest proponents of hybrid games. VR is too niche to gatekeep excellent studios and their games

@askamsky51 Ah, so not so much the game itself than the optics. That makes sense.

@LiveOpenMike Im not at all disappointed they did a flat release. I want them to survive. As another poster said, PSVR2 fans want hybrids. I do think they lack optics though. Their audience on X are VR enthusiasts. Dangling a carrot yesterday for *this* was poor form.

Given both Moss games are already on PS VR2, I don't really feel like this is another Astro Bot situation. I'm still butt hurt about that one and I don't even have a PS5.

Already wishlisted on Steam. Will do the same on Switch as soon as I see the Nintendo listing. store.steampowered.com/app/3914860/Mo…

Fixer Undercover Demo is live on Steam. FLAT and VR version!

Quick recap of what's already in our Far Cry-inspired VR game, Frostbite. - Fully interactive drivable vehicles - Outposts to take - 3rd faction to spice things up - Heli rides - Story missions, sidequests and much more! And we're still in alpha, so things will only get more polished and much better from here!

Being a game dev is funny because you can make a passion project, and a crowd that is not your target audience can review bomb your game and doom your studio

What’s a Far Cry-inspired VR game without outposts? Exactly. That's why we added outposts to Zero Caliber: Frostbite. You’ll find enemy-controlled locations scattered across the island - and once you capture one, you’ll have to defend it from counterattacks. Stick around for more sneak peeks!

Blokhaven has some incredible animation never before seen in one of our courses, and that's thanks to Henning Koczy, our Lead Level Designer! He used an incredible VR puppetry mechanic to make the townsfolk feel alive and real, making Blokhaven feel really lived in and special!

Five Nights At Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic's VR support was initially put off due to poor sales of Help Wanted 2: uploadvr.com/fnaf-secret-of…

While big studios and publishers take the weekend off, I’m posting progress on the all-new Cactus Cowboy - Thornageddon that I made over the weekend.. (Quest Version) #DevBlog #vrgame

One of the devs of @garagecollect (Drakkenridge, Stones of Harlath) paying it forward to the next generation. 👏🏻 If you’re of millennial age and/or like retro graphics, give Drakkenridge a shot on Quest. It’s a good time.

Cox was an institution unto himself when I was growing up in Atlanta. 😢 Rest in peace, Skipper. 🫡⚾️
