Hey #Unity devs, check your email. Unity just sent out a message saying they are delisting China-based assets from the Unity Asset Store at the end of this month.

If you already bought it, you will retain access to it, but will no longer get ongoing support.

I spent hours upon hours in Wing Commander back in the day. This demo was the first I'd heard of the Alliance games. Will be diving in for sure.

This is the power of Next Fest. Putting a game on your radar you were totally unaware of before.

Check out my demo impressions.

This was a beast to compile. If you're a VR dev and I missed your game, shoot me an email (address in bio) and I will get the article updated. 😇

This a UK thing?

Insomnia stinks. 😤

I just filed an article to Upload analyzing the headset numbers on the latest Steam hardware survey and why we all need to ignore it this month.

Short answer: Chinese New Year.

Nothing to see here. Stop writing your latest “(PC)VR is dead” article. Check back next month. 😊

Experience a world class VR experience like none other on the market right now.

Y'all when I tell you I could not stop playing Raceclub.

My impressions article is linked below and I only meant to play a couple hours. I played 5 straight, killing two Bobos and the headset in the process.

It's very Early Access, but chasing ghosts is very addictive.

AXIOMATIK
A really interesting concept. You're in a pitch black room and have to use a bouncy ball light gun to find your way to the exit. Some stuff isn't clearly explained, but could be a fun limited time game. - WISHLISTED

PROTON VR
Clearly inspired by Compound, but frankly an inferior version of it offering nothing new from what I played. Interminably slow walking speed and some dodgy enemy AI holds this back, but it's still enough to keep an eye on - WISHLISTED

Detective VR on Steam Step into a thrilling narrative investigation in Virtual Reality! In DETECTIVE VR, you control time, collect crucial clues, and interview witnesses to unravel the plot.

DETECTIVE VR
A port of a hand-tracked MR Quest game with node teleport (blech) & reasonable controller accommodations for the original hand-tracking. Like the concept, but dropped a polaroid beneath the ground and couldn't retrieve. - WISHLISTED (need patches)

Got knocked off from the Top 10 of my own game's leaderboard. Feels great because that means people have actually put in time and effort!😊

ROAD TO YVHALON
On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes, but let down by a weird parry mechanic where you have to turn the sword upside down to block. One to watch at least. - WISHLISTED

Proc gen multiplayer chaos in VR? Who's in?

Full article below.

Zombie Army VR To Lose Co-Op Gameplay Next Month Zombie Army VR will lose co-op multiplayer next month, with the developer blaming a change with Unity's hosting services.

Story here: www.uploadvr.com/zombie-army-...

Filed to @uploadvr.com earlier, Zombie Army VR is dropping its co-op mode at the end of March due to Unity sunsetting its multiplayer service.

All Unity devs that use the software were informed of this upcoming change in December of last year and have until March 31 to transition to a new service.

I had a great time with Fixer Undercover! Grab jank aside, an easy recommend for puzzle lovers. 🧩

PC VR and PSVR2 peeps, wishlist this one for later this year! 🔨

TAMMUZ BLOOD & SAND
A stationary puzzle game I can play from my chair is always welcome. If you like a good chill brain teaser, you'll enjoy this. There's a story here, but my brain was too fried from the puzzle to absorb it.

That's My Tofu on Steam A chaotic VR cooking game where you use chopsticks to cook, serve, and defend your hotpot feast against your mischievous cousin.

THAT'S MY TOFU
You know the worse thing to do to a VR player? Make them stand around and do nothing. That's this demo. Drop an ingredient, wait, serve ingredient, drop another, wait again. Occasionally "defend" the pot. Bit bland. - PASS

ALLIANCE FRONTIER
As an old X-Wing & Wing Commander player, I wanted to like this more than I did. It's okay, just needs a fair amount of refinement with the combat. Liked it enough to keep it on my radar. - WISHLISTED

The Amusement on Steam An abandoned amusement park, a tangled memory, a family shattered by the Great War… Discover an intense story in this redirected-walking VR adventure in which every step counts.

THE AMUSEMENT
A roomscale puzzle game that, based on this demo, doesn't need to be roomscale. That aside, VERY intrigued to play more. See my article on UploadVR for more. - WISHLISTED

Isle of Food on Steam Can you cook when nothing is given to you? Hunt, fish, gather, and farm your way to running a stylish island restaurant in this open-world cozy VR cooking game!

ISLE OF FOOD
Textbook example of BAD onboarding. No tutorial. Just drops in and figure it out. Half the materials you need aren't in the kitchen, so I failed 3 orders in a row. Off the charts grab jank. I gave up after 10mins. - PASS

Project Louisiana - The BOUNDS VR on Steam Explore a cursed mansion from New Orleans, survive its horrors and find what happened to your daughter. Exploration, voodoo, puzzle solving, combat, strong narrative and multiple endings.

PROJECT LOUISIANA - THE BOUNDS
Didn't get far enough in for the proper scares to happen, but nails it on atmosphere alone, including a creepy companion character. One for Spooktober month this fall. - WISHLISTED

CONFINED: LEAVING OKB-134

Ever played The Bunker series? Clear inspiration for this. Contrived "stupid for the sake of the plot" MC & stiff grab jank aside, I dug this. It oozes atmosphere and had me creeped out just on aesthetic alone. - WISHLISTED store.steampowered.com/app/3195810
