You advertised it on September 29 and yet nothing!

The update has been released on friday, the new location has been added, and some new things, all specified in the release note. Sorry for missing the release date, we just needed some extra time for debugging the Steam version.

Why IF?

The game severly lack of 3D environment. WHy you got to make an exclusive?

As I mentioned in another topic this scan was a part of our deal with Sony. If you want to explore it now, you need to watch it on their hardware. We had a similiar deal with the hospital room on Samsung Gear, but later on we developed the scan further, and added it as a bigger location for the new update here and on Oculus.

I hope it's limited Time. It's counter productive.

Still not added the said map? What a shame!

i was just about to buy this on the oculus store for $5 and then i find out about the "Platform Exlcusive" Maps SRSLY?!?! Your offering core game content as platform exclusives. I agree with LOUNA its so counter productive, you are screwig over a whole demographic just to cater to a another market to try and get money, people hate that enough when it happens to pre order dlc or just dlc alone.

This is so stupid! TWO content exclusivity deals tied to specific hardware manufacturers? Nice 'educational experience' ! Fk you, seriously. Disgusting greed undermining what would be a more complete educational experience. Obviously I won't buy it now - it's available elsewhere ;)

Thank you Magpie
Side note: OMG When I first saw the message I thought it was a reply to mine lol

Nah just expressing my shock at such disgusting mismanagement. Exclusivity deals are totally counter productive. I might of payed for this software until I got a whiff of that. I hope SONY payed enough to warrant excluding so many curious minds from valuable content. Seriously, the sarcophagus is Playstation exclusive? lol - GET FKED.

Magpie, we didn't get any money from Sony nor Samsung. Giving them some small amounts of content for time-limited exclusivity was required to get the technical support (mostly free devkits) and help on event showcases of the application.
We still plan to release all the previously exclusive elements on Steam plus add a new content here that won't be available on the other platforms (not because of exclusivity, but because we know Steam also deserves more attention now).

Why not just stay with the same build for every platform?

Steam wouldn't need more attention if it had enough in the first place.

How long until we get the map?

It's absolutely not possible to keep the same build on all platforms - we would obviously do it to save time and work if it was possible. Oppositely, every release on every platform is the painful process. Each platform has a different rendering caps, control system or build size limitation and even SDK or hardware updates frequency. Oculus, Vive, Samsung are upgrading both hardware and drivers every few months and it's very time consuming to keep up to date with all these updates.

Stay tuned a bit more and you'll see much more than just one map added to Steam.

A map more or less won't delay the update by several months tho!
