Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce that update 1.3.0 for Mind Palace is now live, providing new features and many improvements.

Get in motion and learn new paths by sprinting in the new runs. Test your agility and beat your own records across three different runs:

• The Climb Run: get to the top fast by climbing
  
• The Jump Run: time your jumps right while running along the shore
  
• The Cave Run: traverse dimly lit caves fast with the aid of a flashlight

To initiate a run, seek out the corresponding colored orb and socket in the world. Once you've located and inserted the orb, simply push it down to start a run.
After you once found and placed the orb you can access runs directly from the sockets and track your best times conveniently on your arm device or in the hovering sphere display in the center of the world.

To allow a smoother locomotion experience I've added accelerated movement. Transition seamlessly into full sprint for a more natural feel. If you prefer the traditional direct movement method, you can toggle off accelerated movement in the options menu.

Enjoy a revamped new zipline where you can grab the zipline handle and take a shortcut. The previous zipline depended on your hands gliding down the rope which was a bit clunky.

See the full changelog:

• added new run system with 3 runs (The Climb Run, The Cave Run, The Jump Run)
  
• added new accelerated movement & option to toggle accelerated movement
  
• added new zipline with grabbable handle
  
• added physical flight rewards provided by residents
  
• changed progress layout in arm device for runs
  
• residents now consider direction of player (left / right) for high-fives
  
• overhauled keyboard UX for writing notes
  
• small level design fixes

Hey everyone,

Thanks to all of you who played Mind Palace and provided feedback which let to this this latest update 1.2.0 for Mind Palace.


This patch let's you create handwritten notes (with the existing drawboard tool) voice notes (new microphone tool) or text notes (new "mechanical" keyboard tool) in VR to expand your Mind Palace without importing notes. You can access them anytime through your arm device menu.

As requested by many I've added smooth turn. You can activate it in the menu options and set the desired turn speed. For snap turn you now have the ability to customize the angle of snap turns. In addition you can now set the movement direction either to head or hand orientation which determines whether movement is directed towards where you're looking or where your hand is pointing.

See the full changelog:

• added new tool for note creation - keyboard
  
• added new tool for voice note creation - microphone
  
• added note creation from drawboards
  
• added smooth turn with speed control
  
• added snap turn angles
  
• added head or hand movement direction toggle
  
• changed arm device menu with note creation tool submenu
  
• changed tutorial for new tools
  
• fixed note connection issue - can now be canceled with trigger
  
• fixed deleting note also deletes media
