- Thanks for your feedback! - 16 January 2020
Feedback is one of the most important parts of development. Only getting feedback from players we may develop a good game that will delight the community. What do players write to us? VRheadset: “The skiing feels good.” Explore VR: “This is a cool early access skiing game. It's a good variation for your cardio / upper body workout. To burn extra calories, instead of finishing the course, turn around and ski back up the hill! There's a shooting range as well if you want some target practice.” SupraBeam: "The game has gained significant performance boosts and the game mechanics are overall very nicely executed." Thanks a lot! We are glad that we have chosen the right path of development. Stay tuned and leave comments too!

Sometimes it makes a player feel nausea. What type of movement is used in our game? We implemented two types of movement: teleportation and skiing. The main function of teleportation is movement on the room the base location. This way doesn't "broke" perception of reality by a player's body. And a player doesn't feel nausea. Also, a player moves by skiing during races. The movement happens by arms bent at the elbows. It imitates push by ski poles. This way doesn't bring discomfort to a player too. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F34304032%2Fe0c5bc9a51ab67dd45eac1f2e0717ee7a75fdc8d.jpg What types of movement did you meet in virtual reality games?
