Well, it's been over a year since A-Escape VR released on Steam. Since the game's release, it's received multiple updates, tweaks, and even a complete texture overhaul. All of you have been busy, too! You've made plenty of gameplay videos for the game, and even helped each other overcome the more difficult puzzles. I couldn't ask for a better community of players, you've all been great! So, as a thank you to the community (and just in time for Halloween, too!), we're lowering the price permanently from $9.99 to $4.99, effective immediately. Now you can enjoy an escape room experience designed by a real-life escape room business for less than a quarter of what it would cost to go in real life! One more thing. I would just like to take a moment extend a…
- A-Escape VR - Update for February 6th, 2018 - 6 February 2018
Hello again, I've recently been informed that the current build of A-Escape VR was no longer working for Vive users, while Oculus users were unaffected. This was due to an old version of VRTK and an incompatibility with what I can only assume was an update to SteamVR. This patch for the main game and demo addresses those issues, among other things. Patch Notes: Updated the game to Unity 5.5.4p3 Patched a vulnerability caused by building the game from an older version of Unity Fixed an issue where the grip buttons for Vive users were not working Fixed an issue in the demo where the right-hand controller for Vive users in the hub room did not activate the teleport beam Submitted prices for the new currencies on Steam Thank you for playing A-Escape VR. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused; if you have any other issues, please contact me directly using the form o…

- Buy A-Escape VR this weekend to help with Hurricane Harvey and Irma! - 15 September 2017
Hello escapees! This weekend, A-Escape is pledging to donate half of the proceeds from sales this weekend to aid with Harvey and Irma relief efforts. At the end of this month, A-Escape will be donating half of the proceeds from this weekend (9/15 to 9/18) to relief funds for both Harvey and Irma. (We weren't allowed to run a sale this time due to the sale we had four weeks ago, unfortunately) If you're itching to play a VR escape room game this weekend and also wanted to help with hurricane relief, hopefully this sale can kill two birds with one stone for you. In case you'd like to donate to these relief efforts directly, here is the direct donation link to the charity A-Escape will be donating to: https://www.habitat.org/donate/?link=858&keyword=hero--home Thank you. - Tom

- A-Escape VR is now compatible with Oculus Touch! Now 25% off! - 11 August 2017
Hello again! First off, thank you all for playing A-Escape VR and for supporting the game through the forums, videos on Youtube, and by telling your friends about the game. It really does mean a lot! Unfortunately, Oculus users have not had a chance to experience A-Escape VR for themselves for the first five months after the game came out. This is because we did not have access to an Oculus Rift to test on. They've been left out in the cold for too long; today, we change that! Oculus users rejoice; you can now play A-Escape VR! To celebrate this update and offer the same launch discount that Vive owners had, we're running a week-long sale of 25% off. Even if you weren't waiting on Oculus support, you can still pick up the game for yourself or even a friend! Again, thank you all so much for your support. We welcome all the new Oculus players, and hope you all will enjoy the game! Best re…

- Oculus Support now in Beta! - 3 August 2017
Hello everyone! Thanks to the recent Oculus sale, I was able to pick up an Oculus Rift for A-Escape VR. After a couple days of re-mapping buttons for the Touch controllers, re-drawing and re-recording the tutorial, and adding seated/front-facing support, the Oculus-ready build of A-Escape VR is now in the beta stage for anyone who owns the game that is interested in playing with the Oculus Rift. Support for Touch is not completely ready for the main branch though, as I haven't had the opportunity to play test the game as vigorously as the Vive build. Oculus support will stay in Beta for one week; if there are no issues after that, then I'll move the Oculus build into the full release. I'll be sure to post an announcement when Oculus support goes live in the full release as well. To access the oculus build of A-Escape VR, right click on A-Escape VR in Steam, then Properties, then go to t…

- Patch for July 15th - 15 July 2017
First off, I need to apologize. This patch addresses an oversight I had when fixing the magnifying glass in Chapter 1, where upon starting the room your view would be attached to the magnifying glass. What was supposed to be a routine camera adjustment ended up completely breaking the majority of the game, and I can't apologize enough for those who picked up A-Escape VR with the hopes of playing through Chapter 1 and ended up experiencing this problem. The issue is now fixed, and you should be able to play through Chapter 1 as usual. Due to some technical difficulty behind the scenes the update was not available to clients until earlier today. Thank you so much for your patience. - Thomas

- A-Escape VR is 50% during the Summer Sale, the new update is live, and Trading Cards are now available! - 22 June 2017
Hello again! First off, Happy Summer Sale! A-Escape VR is 50% off during the summer sale. If you've been thinking about picking up A-Escape VR for yourself or a friend, now is a great time to do so! Today we're pushing out the newest update to A-Escape VR which adds new textures for the game. These textures have been recreated from scratch from their original size to high resolution 4k textures. Both the full game and the demo will be updated with the new textures found in Episode 0: Julia. The hope is to bring Episode 0: Julia to the same visual fidelity as Episode 1, so this update will hopefully be a step in the right direction towards that goal. The game should automatically adjust the textures according to the quality settings, so if you experience performance issues after the update you can adjust the quality by holding down the control key when launching the game. That's not all…

- Commercial licenses now available, and a look at the road ahead: - 21 May 2017
Hello again! First things first: Commercial licenses for A-Escape VR are now available! The license is only visible to licensees and can now be purchased on the game’s store page - directly under the regular end user price. If you run a VR arcade and wanted to show A-Escape VR at your location, be sure to check it out! Here's what we have planned in the future for A-Escape VR: First, texture work. I'm currently in the process of remaking as many of the textures as I can into high-quality 4k textures. You can see the progress below: As you can see, it's all very crisp and looks much better than it did before (especially in VR!). Many users expressed their dissatisfaction with the low-resolution textures, so I'm dedicating my effort to improve this aspect for you all. There are a lot of textures to sort through and remake, but you can expect this update to arrive sometime in early June. T…

- Update for April 6th - 6 April 2017
Patch notes: Fixed a bug where holding a prop with both hands then teleporting would cause the prop to exhibit undesirable behavior Fixed an issue where you could teleport on props inside the tutorial room Hello again, My apologies to those who were enjoying the thrill of flight via teleporting on a cassette tape a bunch of times, but everything must come to an end eventually. Many thanks to the player who pointed out the issue with teleporting while holding objects to me earlier today, I would have never encountered it otherwise. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone, the bug is now fixed and should no longer occur. Again, if you encounter any bugs, we strongly recommend you post a bug report in the community discussions so we can keep track of them and post updates on them. Thank you, - Thomas
