- Update 1.21 - 25 September 2019
Hello Hypatians! Here's some things you might have missed since 1.16: Patched in strafing for locomotion! Added in always-run (to be used with the aim-slowdown functionality (VR only for now). Some things that were still missing got zapped back into existence! 🌩 A place to plant seeds has appeared. You'll need a magic one for it to grow... Updating the Game Engine to version 4.22.1! And a new population widget to help find where people are. Beta ticket now goes to a public test level, where all sorts of things get tested! You can get to the beta area of your choosing from there. You can now wear hats across areas! Fishing rod has been added, though it's quite twitchy. Catch one of three new fishes! Adding coins in Oculus should be less likely to fail if Oculus is being slow. Elevators have been installed in the Hotel lobby and Du Nul theater! :wheelchair: Sodium should now ignite again…

Finally solved the wobble (hopefully permanently!) in VR. Mic sensitivity was turned way down on accident, so the game didn't think you were talking when you actually were. All photos should now be pickup-able in Mouse and Keyboard. 3D art submissions fixed! Packed down the ground in Sprite Park so it stops moving all around you. Adjust some auto-spawning objects to avoid ghosts and de-sync (hopefully). Other small quality-of-life improvements.

Hypata is a VR first title, which means that some features may require the manual dexterity of VR in order to get the most out of them, but that is no reason to miss out on all the other features of Hypatia, or to not be able to play with your friends! So we've opened up Hypatia to all Steam users, regardless of having a VR headset or not. In order to do so, we've made a number of features more nonVR friendly, and added a HUD to display a…
