- King Kaiju Update v1.1 - 8 February 2017
Hello again, Just a quick note to let you know that we've just released a new patch that adds Oculus Rift + Touch support and support for recording mixed reality videos. You can use an Oculus headset and Touch controllers by connecting them via SteamVR. A 360° setup with 3 sensors is preferable, but it works with just 2 sensors. As for mixed reality recording, you can turn on HMD display mirroring with the super-secret option on the top of the settings board (behind the "Settings" sign) and then follow the directions here. If you record a video, feel free to share the link with us! Thanks! -Chris

- So long, Early Access. King Kaiju 1.0 has launched! - 31 January 2017
https://youtu.be/SOxwsecnvx0 We're excited to take King Kaiju out of Early Access and launch today! We finally got to a point where we're happy with it as a complete game experience. Thanks to all of our fans and supporters through the Early Access phase! Let's talk about what's new: New levels with different objectives High score, best time, statistic saving w/steam cloud Achievements Trading cards More user settings Performance optimizations Lots of small bug fixes and tweaks So what's next for King Kaiju? Well, that depends heavily on game sales. If it's profitable then there are certainly other features and content that we have planned and would like to add to the game, but we'll have to see how it performs. Fingers crossed, we'll see! We've also decided to leave the price as is, at $4.99 (USD). We like the idea of having our game as a cheap, fun, simple experience and we don't want…

Hi! We've pushed a new update for King Kaiju that includes a new playable character and some other neat things that we hope you'll enjoy. As always, let us know what you think and if you experience any issues! Full change notes: +Added a new character: a giant cat! Its special attack is a pair of lasers that shoot out of its eyes (activated by holding both grip buttons) +Added planes (finally!) +Added audio and visual settings to the main menu scene +Added an objective to the city (smash a certain number of buildings) *Made some physics and rendering optimizations *Fixed a bunch of bugs What we're working on next: More levels with different objectives (systems are in, just need to make the content) Save data, to keep track of user settings, score, and such Other small improvements and bug fixes Some more performance optimizations Thanks! -Chris

- King Kaiju Update v0.04b - 2 January 2017
Happy New Year! It's been a while since the last update, due to the holidays and some bugs. We actually had an update ready to go before the break but wanted to address some performance issues we found before pushing it live. The big new things in this update are a new main menu with the ability to select levels (there's only one so far), new layouts for levels, and preliminary scoring. Full change notes: +Added a main menu scene where you start in an egg +Added scoring mechanics +Added better, less grid-shaped city layouts *Fixed bugs with scene transitions, audio, and performance What we're working on next: Improving scoring Objectives, or a way to complete levels More levels Settings (music volume, visual quality, etc.) Planes (we'll get around to this eventually, I swear!) Performance optimizations, as always Thanks! -Chris
