Just started, a few questions and small issue
Heyo!
First off, good job! I expected a cheap knockoff of the Stalker series but I'm really surprised and had lots of fun in the 2 hours time I could play last night. I then went to bed and read the posts here until 4am haha, can't wait to get back to it!

Had a few questions (I'm on Meta Quest 3 in case you need to know):
  1. How does your belt align with your head? It seems to not always follow it and sometimes I reach for my gun, fail, then see my vest and equipment is not exactly aligned to I turn my head more to one side to force it to move. I'd like to understand the mechanics so I can use it better (or if there is an option to make it follow your head the moment you turn)
  2. I also tested both movement alignment with the joystick (follow the head or follow the joystick so you can look somewhere else while moving forward but I don't see the difference. Is it only activating while you are already moving?
  3. Is it possible to lower the belt/vest? I'm a really tall guy and I often have to reach way above my real belt to grab guns (And I like to wear my guns low like the Dark Tower Gunslinger XD)
  4. Will there be a setting to adjust the music in the future? I'm ok with ambiance, but I like the total silence sometimes, makes it so immersive
  5. Read all the updates saw in version 1.00.41 there is trading. Is it in my room, where I have to access a terminal? Is it for buying ammo or selling extra guns?
  6. I have an issue where I get concentric circles (about 3 of them) on each eye and they become quite apparent when it's really dark. It's like a vignette effect except there is no gradient, it's just black->grey->white. I didn't find any issue listed about this in here, except a review talking about vignette on each eye. Is it what it is? Can I disable it? Chat GPT told me I could edit config.ini and set r2_sun_lumscale_hemi to 0, but I haven't tested yet. Let me know if you need a screenshot.
  7. I kept the inventory I found in the tutorial, not sure if this is a bug but I'm happy about it haha
  8. How the hell do you work on 2 games at the same time in parallel? I see you are already working on the second instalment (super hyped about it BTW) yet you are still adding content to this one and the frequency of the updates is crazy :O Are you flipping burgers at McDonalds during night time on top of that so you can afford rent while you work on these projects?

Good stuff man, keep the good work, can't wait to play some more tonight and see what the next game will be, already wishlisted and subscribed to RSS ;)

Hello, I apologize for the brief response. At the moment, I am ill, probably with the flu, and it's even hard for me to sit at the computer. But I will try to answer your questions:

1. It rotates with a slight delay, which is done so that you can always grab the item you need. If you want to align it, just look straight ahead. The belt will center itself.
2. In one mode, you can walk straight and, by looking to the side, change your route. In the other, you can walk straight and look around. If you stop and turn around, you will go in the direction you are looking. In VR, you need to somehow track your position, either by the controllers or by the headset.
3. Not at the moment.
4. Possibly.
5. Trading is still in development, as I am practically working alone, and there is a war going on in our country. Part of the team is on the front. I add content as I create it.
6. This is a camera effect. Unfortunately, we get such circles on your lenses. I will buy Quest 3 a bit later and try to solve this problem.
7. I missed this one, I will fix it as soon as I recover :)
8. Sometimes I don't even know how I work on games :) I have a lot of experience in developing mobile games since 2013. It's already a habit. I don't work anywhere else and often spend 12-15 hours a day working on game development. My family relies on me, as do the remaining two members of the team, whom I try to support financially. Both are on the war. One died last year. By the way, the houses in the first location were his work.

I didn't want to mention the war since people can get political, but I sincerely hope you guys manage to get what you want and that this crap ends soon. Must be hard to work on a game with guns and shooting when the real thing is happening not far away and I thank you for such amazing work!

Thanks for your answer and I look forward to the next game as well.

Yes, you can activate the sitting mode both from the main menu and from the PDA during the game.
