Hit any issues, let us know and we will address them in the next patch :)Updates & Game ReleaseApr 11, 2018 - Community AnnouncementsAbduction Prologue - Released As some of you may know by now, the Abduction Prologue was one of our very first VR games, created over 2 years ago as an OSVR game for being demoed at the Razer booth for E3. Over time, we expanded a little bit on the content, and rounded out the demo until it became an actual small game all of its own. I'm proud to announce that today, we formally launched the game into release. Pages Split As you may have noticed, we started splitting the content pages many months ago, and are still making page changes. Our intent is to keep the different game titles separate and allow people to provide feedback on the different titles as they have become so different over time. What's New We made some changes in the last update: Fixed latency issues with objects for Oculus and Gamepad players Improved gamepad support for Oculus and OSVR More reliable and faster auto-detect systems for VR headsets Performance improvements to increase FPS Added a new content room Added in a crowbar Blocked out the main entry Changed how some systems work to make it harder to cheat and get ahead of the game Disclaimers & Notes The original game was intended for OSVR (2016) and the mechanics were not intended for HTC vive at the time This game predates Oculus Touch controllers (see below) Being very early VR, the game predates modern VR frameworks. As such, it lacks some of the VR tricks used today to prevent cheating and wall walking Please note: The game currently does not support Oculus Touch. However, we were recently accepted into the Oculus Start program (and we HIGHLY recommend it for other small studios). When we receive the hardware, I'll start bringing support to this title. Found the game interesting, but something more?

We've decided to give the prologue its own dedicated page... as a demo, it has slowly grown to become a mini game all on its own. And we feel it deserve its own space and reviews and such :) Update I've seen a few issues mentioned in the discussion forums - I'll tackle them this weekend and push through another update. After this, the prologue is going to move from DEMO to RELEASED :) We officially launched this particular title in June of last year, so this is really just matching the data onto Steam. Progress Update : Episode 1 Episode 1 is coming along beautifully. We've got an amazing script, awesome voices, a great soundtrack, and we've been painstakingly hand modeling so many things - I think it is going to come together to tell a truly amazing story.

We know that this game is likely new to most of you, but for us, it has been an amazing 9 month project. The team is now on holidays until the new year, and under strict orders not to reply to emails & social media. We really need to come back with a fresh look at the game series. In the meantime, we've also tossed up another small project on itch.io that is free for anyone to play with (full VR support). Although, if you toss a couple dollars our way, it will go to some amazing coffee that our team will love. With that said, have a great holiday season! We hope all of you get a magical HTC Vive as a surprise gift, and we will connect with you in the new year.Red Iron Labs Going on VacationDec 18, 2016 - Community AnnouncementsOn Vacation until January https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26960994/88be4e8d5279991c66f674c75e00b678305641ad.jpg Crowdfunding wrapped up!

OSVR & Oculus will be best with a gamepad (you can use the keyboard and mouse, but its hard to see with the gear on).
