We have release Vendetta Online for GearVR, more information in the Newspost.

We're currently being featured by Oculus, so we may see some new users from this platform. Please try to be nice :).

Wow!

Guess I know what my plans are for tonight :-).

Congrats, GS.

Sweet! Does this mean we will start seeing standard content updates?

Preliminary report is that it really does feel like a brand new game. Three hours just flew by. The only other experience that has come close to having this kind of time-speeds-up effect in VR is Minecraft, for me.

This is very impressive. Really excellent work, devs. Cautiously, VR seems like the way VO was meant to be played.

Well, it's how you started seeing a lot more bugfix updates over the last two weeks, already.

Thanks, glad to hear it. I think specifically for new users it could use a lot more polish (and UI work), but I just don't have the.. budget or dev team to really re-work everything completely for VR. But I agree it's pretty cool. Good to hear it worked for 3 hours.. we spent a lot of time getting it to not overheat the phone on long play sessions.

Nice work.

Very eager to try. Since Samsung Note 7 fiasco, Google Pixel XL next for me. Already noticed that my phone stopped heating up.

Win, win, win.

Very cool. And the last couple of updates have also been awesome. Keep up the great work guys!

Nice! Let's hope it brings more new players. I hear VR users are easy targets ;-)

All jokes aside, nice work. I hope you get some free time now to work on more content. People's mouths are watered for the Goliath!

I assume plugins will work with the Gear VR version? So far (in the beta) I've been plugin free, hoping I can get targetless or similar working with it...

Faille: In beta, yes.

I havent played release yet, but all my plugins in beta worked just fine with Gear VR!

Congrats on the release! It really is an outstanding experience on Gear Vr. If you have a Samsung phone, this is worth buying a Gear VR for. Really. Its an outstanding experience all around. Now only if my voice to text worked. :(

Also, I see that its going to cost $2.99 on the Oculus Store. Whats included in that? A lite subscription? Is it the same limitations as mobile?
Oct 21, 2016 incarnate link
It's the same as the regular Android version. We did the $3 up-front to try and recoup some of our development costs for the GearVR release, which were considerable.

Worth it. Thanks for the response

What are the odds for a PSVR version?

Inc?

Umm. I'm reluctant to give odds..

But I will say that we have a direct relationship with Sony, and it's possible.

I'll also say I have a laundry list of higher short-term priorities, like iOS and Steam, the Oculus store, HTC Vive support, and lots of gameplay and ecosystem changes.

And that's kind of the biggest issue.. I would really like to work on more content than platform stuff, at some point. We are making some more money on platforms lately, so it's possible that the right PSVR deal could come along.

Ultimately, I got into this to make a cool game that I imagined.. not really to have "the most widely ported MMO ever". We've done the latter to support the game, to broaden our access to users and make up for our lack of funding and advertising reach, but I'm hoping it won't always be a necessity. I would really like to focus primarily on gameplay at some point?

Things like PSVR could also be more possible if we had more people. Which isn't super likely in the immediate future, but is also possible.. we're constantly talking to people about various deals, any one of which could improve our available resources.

So, I'll say it's possible, but is not currently scheduled?

Thanks for the answer, thats actually more optimistic than what I was expecting :)

It's good to see you guys still pushing hard, good luck for the future. VO always has a soft spot in my heart, I enjoyed it so much.
