Thanks to Film Victoria funding announced in December last year, I've been able to recruit a small team to expand the game, improve the player experience, and support more VR headsets. Today, the great work of that team has been unveiled. Titled the Quantum update, this collection of improved and additional content includes: New activities to engage in and objects to investigate and collect. A greatly improved interface to make interacting with the world easier. An overhauled dialogue system that adds to the richness of this virtual world. Robot hands for the player so they can properly get in character. Many other improvements, including Steam achievements, an enhanced world, improved player controls, and more. This update is free for all existin…
- Quantum Update will be released on 6th June 2018. - 22 May 2018
Memo from management: Greetings employees! Those of you with Oculus Rift headsets will be very pleased to hear that the management subcommittee overseeing hardware assimilation has announced that even better Rift support will be coming... ... on the 6th of June 2018. This is part of the giant quantum update that a big portion of our core team has been secretly working away on. I have been authorised by upper management to tell you it will be a major content update including… ...lots of stuff. The complete list of features is still under wraps, but the word around the water cooler is that it will include big improvements to office workflow, new activities to engage in, and… ... Steam achievements. I’m not sure what that is. Something the young folks like, I think. All of this was made possible by support from Film Victoria, and upper management have officially declared that Film Victoria…
- OfficeBotsVR Patch Update 1.0.0 - 29 August 2017
You know how Santa Claus always listens to what the dreamers want? As a small developer, I try to do that as well. Now I'm not saying that I'm Santa Claus. I could never be that. He's way too old and white and male to be anything like me but I refuse to let that stop me listening and caring about all the people that bought my game or found it interesting enough to follow. Of course, I can't get you that dream car or robot (oh, wait on...) that you always wanted. I can try to improve the game, whenever possible. Remember though, I am a solo developer trying to share a quirky heartfelt experience with the world. There's only so much I can do at once! Meeeep, Meow! In the original iterations of this game, the Robot HUD interface (viewer) was always present in the game. I received feedback from several players who found this Robot HUD interface annoying and obstructing to their view and enj…

- Introducing... - 21 August 2017
Thank you for your interest in my byte-sized, heartfelt adventure game for HTC Vive. With only a few hours left before this ship leaves the port, I thought I'd tell you a wee bit about myself and this project. This has pretty much been a solo project of mine that I've developed part-time throughout this year. In saying that, I've poured an incredible amount of hours into creating this game. As a solo developer, I have to do everything and, as you can imagine, that's a heck of a lot! I created a lot of custom assets to give OfficeBots: Reality Bytes VR it's unique quirkiness. I also wrote, designed, programmed, and marketed this game. Most studios have a team to help do all of these things. I did it all alone, with occasional programming help from Murray Lorden whenever I hit a wall in my coding problem solving that I couldn't climb alone. I am incredibly grateful to him for that. To mak…
