Future Builds will have limited support for non-VR!
Added 2017-10-05 11:35:45 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Thanks to all you guys supporting the project, but especially to those who don't yet have VR systems who don't get a chance to play the build releases. The latest build at the end of last month / beginning of this month included an experimental feature which auto detects which VR system you're running, and if you don't have one at all.
It seems to be quite stable, so we're beginning to add support for non-VR in a proper way, which gives you a first person style character and access to the graphical menus that VR players can access. You can see the video above for a demo of first person non-VR mode ^^
This will have limited support for now, for example, it won't be possible to interact with dynamic props right away, but it should be possible to interact with menus in Fitting Room, and in general, allow you to walk around and explore the environment test builds.
By the time we get around to releasing story gameplay demos, non-VR mode should be more supported, and it will be possible to play the story mode of Virtual Novel in non-VR mode upon release of the game, albeit with some work-arounds when it comes to mini-games / sports based modes which will take full advantage of VR.
Thanks everyone,
Will have more posts in the coming week with some extra stuff so stay tuned <3
