Well, a little disappointed by the VR implementation in co-op.

[JasonB]

I thought it was originally stated that other players would be able to see you moving your hands and such in VR. But as tested last night in a VR & non-VR co-op game, the non-VR person said they didn't see me moving around my hands. So I can't point to stuff, hold an item out to them, etc.

Maybe this has a little bit to do with why Pine decided not to charge for the VR version.

We are two index valve and pointing with hands don't work, not well sync movement but it's work to finish game

VRIK would definitely heighten the experience to whole new levels, currently all players have the regular character animations. I dunno if that is in their pipeline, but it'd be really awesome if it was added down the line!

Yeah so the reason they cite is that they want parity between vr and nonvr, so that they can have vr/nonvr crossplay.

This mean that, right, just like the nonvr version, you cannot point at things and hands aren't tracked either.

Personally, I don't think that this is a good excuse, but I digress

[Ursling]

Really! That's so disappointing! I've only played a little solo but it wasn't as fun solo as it is co-op.

It's doable. Even some VR mods like Valheim and 7 Days to Die have hand movement synchronization between all players (flatscreen players also need to install the mod but with VR mode disabled in its config).

EDIT. I was considering buying the game before the price increase, especially after developer answered that they'll add hands synchronization for multiplayer, so I tried the VR demo and it's a very well made game, but it's not for me :)

we originally didn't think it's too important plus it's not too easy to do. We wanted to focus on puzzles, gameplay and other aspects of the game. After listening to the community, it seems like this is #1 request and we've decided to do it. Multiplayer VR hands are coming in one of the next updates. ;)

Appreciated. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't really for aesthetic reasons, rather we noticed immediately when playing co-op that VR wasn't enhancing the actual gameplay in circumstances where, as stated, I was trying to hold an item for someone to see, or point to something, etc. Actual mechanically useful things.

[osky]

fantastic! that's great news

[sub7th]

I can see how this would be easy to overlook though.
Not really important in a non VR game at all.
I'm glad the team has recognized how frustrating it is for VR players.
Mostly I'm just pumped to start playing this again but In VR.

Gameplaywise there is a solution that's already in the game and it's called Ping. It's used to point stuff around. When you press B (Quest 2/3) the character points to and there's a ping sound and also UI marker appears. Of course, it's much better to show something with your actual hands but this solution works great (IMO)... at least untill we add VR hands.

Yeah!
See moving hands in VR is very inmersive! Please! Add it!

I mean you can see your hands, you just can't see the hands of other players. :)
But yes, we are working on adding multiplayer hands. ;)

I am a little bit more disappointet how the VR Version turned out. When you know Arizona Sunshine and co the VR Hands are more like annoying bad hands with a laser pointer. I cant touch things really. But i get why its impossible.

[John Courtier]

I must be doing something wrong, but how exactly am I supposed to light the fireplace with matches in VR? My every attempt ends with match burning out in blink of an eye and puffs away.
