- Patchnotes v1.1 - Bonus Levels! - 14 February 2018
Hey everyone, we're back with another patch! And this one is a big one, so let the download roll in, or turn on auto-updates if you didn't receive it yet! Bonus Levels We have added a new feature in the menu! The Bonus Levels window allows us to add new levels to Eye in the Sky when we think we've come up with something cool in our spare time! BL_Amazing Added the bonus level "Amazing" (obviously) developer's note: "Amazing" is an attempt at making something a bit different. It's less escape-roomy like most levels in the campaign and more to the point with only one or two main puzzles. The main goal for me was to make sure both VR and PC would have to communicate a lot to get through this, and I think it definitely works. Can you make it through without losing a single Light to the invisible lasers? :) Muahaha! Sewers_2 Added a sign to make sure people read the symbols from left to righ…

- An Eye in the future #3 - Release imminent - 3 December 2017
Greetings humans! It has been a while but we're nearly there. It's already night time here in the Netherlands, but we're working hard to prep for release! The next big patch should drop within a week! We've crunched the numbers and there is a 99% chance Eye in the Sky's next big patch drops, well, within 24 hours from now! This next big patch will bring two new levels, a heap of optimization and bugfixes, and we've retouched some of the levels to make sure they feel slightly more balanced out for both the VR and PC their gameplay. We're also testing the game with Oculus Rift as we speak! There's still some things to iron out (cool new controller models are being created as I type this specially for the Rift Touch controllers!) but we're pretty sure official Rift support through SteamVR is making the cut tomorrow. Keep an eye out for the patchnotes following soon, and we'll talk more abo…

- An Eye in the future #2 - full release planning and price reduction - 9 September 2017
Hey everyone. It has been a while since we've posted an update, and while that was partly due to summer holidays, there's also been happening a lot behind the scenes which we felt obliged to update you on. While it has certainly been enjoyable to work on the Eye in the Sky project, it was very hard to sell this project to the public. You see, VR is already a small market, and then to aim for a niche market within a niche market (the local co-op department) was both a daring and perhaps not the smartest thing to do if part of our group expected to gain atleast enough profit to pay the rent. With already one person in our team having a fulltime job and the rest finding and applying for new jobs, Eye in the Sky got less and less attention as we simply struggled to find the time. We are still committed to finish the Eye in the Sky content we're currently working on, but as we're running sho…

- An Eye in the future #1 - 21 June 2017
As we aproach the two month mark of our early access release we felt it was time to share our thoughts with you on what we're planning for Eye in the Sky. Behold! The Inner City. A huge contrast compared to the Junkyard. This is just a glimpse of some of the eye candy we're going to offer you in the next set of levels! What makes every puzzle game better? Lasers. You're going to explore a high-tech facility with lasers, touch screens and a bunch of the puzzle elements you've already encountered! The Inner City is a direct gameplay and story follow up on the levels that are already in the game. We're also planning to implement more story content. The "how and why" the Light and Eye team up to solve puzzles and work their way into the robot city will unfold in a "tutorial" level. While the new batch of content is still in development, we hope this little sneakpeak will help ease the wait!…

- Patchnotes Eye in the Sky v0.2.4 - 20 June 2017
Hey all. Here's a quick patch trying to get some stability in before summer gets too crazy! General Disclaimer adjusted to automatically dissapear when the loading of the game is complete "Restart Level" should now properly restart a level even if the game failed to load the level the first time Single Player Single Player has been removed We're sorry to announce single player is being shelved. This was originally put in to see what people would think of at least having the oppertunity to play Eye in the Sky when none of their friends were around. However, these singleplayer levels lacked polish and the gameplay we so carefully designed for 2 players wasn't compelling enough in a single player setting in our eyes. We quickly noticed the majority of people did not enjoy these levels and even worse, some lost appetite to try out co-op - which is what we intended as the main game content f…
