- Luca Update - Now with 50% More Bullets and 100% More Ceilings! - 6 March 2017
To increase the realism and immersion of the game the height of the rooms has been doubled and a ceiling put on top of each dungeon room. This improves the feel of the game tremendously by maintaining the illusion of the Virtual Reality™. They were originally no ceilings in the game because with room scale mode the world would need to scale down and with a small play area the players head would often be well above the ceiling. Now the ceiling optionally will turn off for room scale mode or in certain rooms where enemies do a high jump. Additionally, we've made a variety of improvements and increased the base weapon firing rates by 50% to make the combat even more satisfying. Full Release Notes & Change Log Worked on polishing ceilinged room. Ceilinged room cosmetics finished. Enabled depth texture rendering to enable soft particles. Fixed z-fighting arch on west wall.

- Legend of Luca Release - Oculus Rift w/ Touch Support! - 5 December 2016
We've added support for Touch thru OpenVR. So the game is new fully playable with the Oculus Touch. We are impressed with the tracking volume of the Oculus Touch system. Even with two tracking cameras on one side of a room there are very little occluded tracking spots. Be sure to calibrate a play area in SteamVR before playing or the floor and world scale will be incorrect. Unfortunately, OpenVR hasn't shipped with models of the Touch controls yet. So the game will still show Vive controller models until it's updated. Please use the picture above to understand how the controls are mapped in the game until updated controller models get shipped by Valve. In addition we've fixed a variety of bugs and made some game difficulty tweaks. The final boss is now a little easier and the heart drop frequency has increased.
