Hey!

First, we'd like to thank you for supporting Gameboom VR! Our Cooking Simulator VR sells great, we've won the VR Game of the Year award on Steam, and now we can work on some new games for you. However, this does not mean that we are forgetting about our first game - Thief Simulator VR!

Thief Simulator VR receives another patch today, which introduces a number of improvements. The new version of the game is full of changes that improve both the performance of the game and its mechanics. Full changelog below:

Changes:
- The game is 1GB smaller

- New functionality - you can use fast travel within one neighborhood, using the car
- It is easier to get in and start the car
- It is easier to hide in designated places (wardrobe, bed, dumpster)
- Limiting memory consumption for weaker RAM and VRAM (texture compression)
- Removal of information about too weak VRAM (textures compress automatically)
- NPC pathfinding calculations are lighter
- UI Change - Text display is less resource-intensive
- Better texture blending
- Additional info about remote grab in the tutorial
- Larger default remote grab distance

Hi!

You've probably noticed by now that it's Halloween in Thief Simulator VR! Tenants decorated their houses, prepared sweets for children... It would be a pity if someone stole them, right?

However, if the candies are to be given away anyway, you can, well... take them? Ideally at night when no one will pay attention. Certainly, there will be people on the BlackBay who will buy these completely legally seized decorations from you.

Oh! I don't know if you've heard the latest rumors about the 306 abandoned house! Apparently, strange things are currently happening there. If you've visited it before - do it again. Just... be careful.


Happy Halloween!
