- People Cu3ed Christmas Update - 7 December 2018
Get ready to squeeze your baubles! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33334862%2F77c517856d3a5ab54309156e6b2c2f41e533c64e.png We've released version 1.1 of People Cu3ed, and to help you enjoy this magical time of year, we've also included a free re-skin of the game that has a distinctly 'Christmassy' feel! We're also putting People Cu3ed on Sale to celebrate (beginning on the 8th December) - hurrah! On opening the game, on the main menu you should see a prominent button to the side of the previous options inviting you to 'Activate Christmas Mode' - we invite you to push it, and let the snow covered fun begin! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33334862%2F9067dd9e59c01203251be8fc04105ede7290910c.jpg In the update, as well as the optional re-skin, we've included some lighting and performance updates, including dramatically shrink…
- 1.03 Update - 9 November 2018
Hi All, Update 1.03 is now live. Changes in this update: · Performance improvements on lower end systems. · Handling improvements on most levels. · Bug fixes: o Stopping the cu3es escaping in the corners of the levels. o Eliminating the audio spikes on finishing some levels (on some set-ups). o Removal of the bug where there is a remote chance of dying and finishing a level at the same time on some levels. Keep talking with us – we love to hear from you – and of course: Happy Gaming!
- Annnnd we're back... - 7 November 2018
Hopefully this will be the last time we have to post an update on this! The mysterious disappearing 'buy' button is now back, and we're assured by Valve that it's now here to stay (they've applied extra sticky super glue or something technical like that...!) Unfortunately we did learn that whilst the game was on sale for a brief time between Sunday the 4th PM and Monday the 5th PM, in total since release, at the time of writing People Cu3ed has been for sale for less than 24 hours. Given that we released around 05:00 AM on Friday the 2nd - this is pretty disastrous, and we're really sorry to all of you who've tried to buy the game over the last few days and haven't been able to. As we said in a slightly tongue in cheek way earlier - we're assured by Valve it won't happen again, and we're optimistic about that. To try to make up for lost time, we're asking that all of you who have tried…
- Steam Store Problems (Again) - 7 November 2018
Hello All, Hopefully you'll see this update as you pass through the store looking at People Cu3ed. For the second time since our launch on Friday the buy button has gone walk-abouts from our page on the Steam store. This is a Steam side issue, and unfortunately there isn't anything we can do about it on our side. The issue is logged with Valve, and they have fixed it once before so hopefully they will again soon. In the mean time - please consider adding People Cu3ed to your wishlist instead of purchasing now, and check back in 24 hours or so when hopefully Steam will be back up. Happy Gaming (even if it's not on our game!) :)
- Update 1.02 - People Cu3ed - 5 November 2018
Hello All, Just a small update this evening, as part of our continuing efforts to make People Cu3ed as much fun as it can be! - Improved collision detection on levels 19, 4, 13 and 14. - Re-worked audio levels on level 13. - Altered difficulty on level 13 based on user feedback. - Fixed a bug on level 13 where by a player could complete the level having gone back out to the chasm to rescue a block and get stuck outside themselves. As always - enjoy - come speak to our small but friendly team - and: Happy Gaming!
- People Cu3ed is now for sale (actual for sale this time...!) - 4 November 2018
As some of you know, several titles this weekend have been impacted by a bug in the Steam store removing the 'buy' button. Valve have kindly now fixed our store page, and you can actually now go and buy 'People Cu3ed'! Thanks to all of our (potential) customers who have stuck with us through what has been a painful weekend - you won't regret downloading the game! Happy Gaming!
- Update 1.01 - People Cu3ed - 4 November 2018
Hello Everybody! Whilst Steam's issues continue (help us Valve - you're our only hope!) and you still can't buy People Cu3ed (along with many other titles), we've still been busy making the game better. We've just pushed out version 1.01 - which includes the following fixes: - Certain set-ups were experiencing audio issues on level 2 and 8. Our update will now bring volume back into the 'normal' range (Becky no longer streams in your ear when you jump on her!) - Some collisions weren't detected properly on levels 8 and 23 - this has now been fixed. Keep talking to us - we love to interact, and if you spot an area that is less than perfect - tell us - we want to make sure you enjoy playing People Cu3ed as much as we did making it. Happy Gaming!
- Problem Buying People Cu3ed - 3 November 2018
There is a major issue with Steam at the moment that has impacted a lot of titles where by the 'buy' button has disappeared from the Steam page. Unfortunately our title is one of those impacted by this - so as of now, thanks for looking our game up, but you can't buy it :( Please go ahead and add People Cu3ed to your wishlist, and as soon as Valve get Steam working again - you'll be able to buy and play the game. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33334862%2Fa328249b8b4dd9b61408a71ec439f36c56bb4c97.png
- Release the Cu3es! - 2 November 2018
We've pushed the button: People Cu3ed is now live and available to download on Steam! People Cu3ed 1.0 will hopefully bring you many, many hours or hilarious VR gaming - and you'll have as much fun as we had making it. We're keen to hear as much feedback as possible, as we've said all along - the game is really a product of a large group of people doing a large amount of testing, and if there are things in the 1.0 version our players think could be better - tell us, and providing it's a sensible point - we will most likely include it in the next update (i.e. please don't tell us your balls aren't squidgy enough). Remember - you can contact us on all the social media by searching for 'Whitway Studios', or we have a old fashioned traditional email account sat in the corner wearing slippers and smoking a pipe at the following address: [email protected] Other than that: Happy Gaming!
- People Cu3ed: Final Testing, Release and Retiring the Demo - 12 October 2018
The release date for People Cu3ed is rapidly approaching! Come the 2nd of November, you all can be happily adventuring in VR with Sara, Baby Suzie and friends – at least on the first tranche of platforms we are going for (that is PC-VR – Rift, Vive and Win MR). As you can imagine – now is a crazy busy time for us. We’ve spent the last few weeks acting on user feedback from the Demo, adding a few extra planned features ourselves, and are now busy trying to break our own game is as many ways as possible – to make sure that our players can’t on release! Our main issue is that unlike the demo, the finished product has 40 levels of game – some of them taking quite a while to play through – and some being a challenge difficulty wise even for the small team that’s been involved from the start. However this process is progressing nicely, and we expect in a few days to get version 1.0 up to Stea…
- Building People Cu3ed With Community Feedback - 15 September 2018
The free demo for People Cu3ed (https://store.steampowered.com/app/915770/People_Cu3ed/) has been out for just over a week now, and it’s been a busy week! The game itself has been built from day one with the help of a great team of people willing to test the game as it’s developed from a rough and ready prototype, to where it is today – an almost complete (but unpolished!) title. Having the demo out has helped this process even further. The demo for the game has been played by a series of streamers, reviewers and normal members of the public and the feedback we’ve got from them all has been incredible. A lot of kind souls have played the demo and taken the time to give direct feedback to us about what works, what doesn’t, and what could be better. Taking everything into account so far, in the last week there have been 4 updates made to the People Cu3ed demo (and countless updates to the…
- Free Demo Released! - 7 September 2018
We are very happy to announce that the free demo for People Cu3ed is now available to download and play on Steam. What do you get in a free demo these days? - 5 of the 40 levels in the finished game - the full tutorial (or shortened version - up to you!) - The introduction to the story in People Cu3ed - The chance to interact with us lovely people and let us know what you think That last one is important. This game has been built from the ground up based on feedback from our testers and general testing with 'random people'. We want to continue that as we progress towards out November 2nd full release. Please, please, please get in touch with us and let us know what you think. We want your feedback, and we want to talk, so either through the plethora of social media we are on (just search for Whitway Studios) or if you are feeling traditional - via email ([email protected]) - feel…
- More Updates...! And a 'Lets Play' Series - 4 September 2018
We promise this is the last one before the demo is released :) We've added a new feature to our Social Strategic View. Those on the outside can now just click on the mouse anyway to choose between seeing through the VR players eyes, or as a member of the audience through our special Social Strategic View. This was due to be a feature in the full release, but we decided to include in the demo as we had a little time to squeeze it in! This now means the social strategic view is a feature not just for those with one monitor - your friends and family can enjoy it (if they choose to) or flick to the view of inside the headset at will. This update is also designed to make it easier for those using the Oculus Rift system that doesn't seem to like multiple monitors to get the full People Cu3ed experience as well. It should also make the game more streamer/YouTuber friendly (if you fancy yoursel…
- Demo Update + Oculus Performance - 2 September 2018
We've just put an updated version of the demo up on Steam, for all of those with early access to the demo itself. Provided there are no last minute issues - this will be the version we go live to the public with on Friday! A quick note on Oculus Rift performance. Whilst a lot of general improvements have been included in the updated demo that will make the game run more smoothly across a lot of low end systems, the major focus was to improve Oculus Rift performance. Having investigated the issue, performance only suffers when multiple monitors are used in addition to the main one, and the headset itself. It appears that with the conversion OpenVR is doing to move the SteamVR game across to the Rift, the HMD attempts to sync it's rendering with the other monitors and this causes artifacts to be displayed that aren't present with either the Vive or Windows MR system (with these systems we…
- People Cu3ed Free Demo - Release: 7th September - 22 August 2018
We are very happy to announce that People Cu3ed free demo will be released to the public via Steam on September 7th 2018. We want to introduce as many people as possible to the crazy universe we've created, and we figured the best way to do that would be to offer you a free demo - and also because we're just plain nice people! Happy also to confirm we are still on track for full release at the start of November. Add People Cu3ed to your wishlist, or hit the 'follow' button to make sure you are kept up to date with more news on the game. Thanks! Whitway Studios
