Is NaLo abandoned?
Myou cat hasn't responded to anything in this forum since Aug 3rd, after being very active before then. Lots of support questions going unanswered. Does anyone know if the dev has moved on from this project? Or is maybe just on a long summer vacation?

You`re not the only one wondering what`s going on.

Sadly all points to that, i have been waiting 2 months for the IOS app, guess what? I am still sitting and waiting for that IOS app port for my iphone 7 to use as tracker, i had directly buy an android phone just to use it as body tracker because feels like there wont be more updates and there is not much alternatives to NALO right now, even tho nalo have potential.
I just dont understand why the dev doesnt hire mods or group up with other VR developers and enthusiasts to keep improving this since we are jumping into VR and sets are getting cheaper and cheaper, since now you can get a very decent headset for less than 500€ (The Rift S) and the new vive is going to be released.

I just dont understand it, like at all. All this business potential lost, when the tecnology currently allow us to move in the game with joycons and app that imitates a compass (Magnetometer or whatever it is called).

After trying Nalo i just cant play any game without it, it feels like missing something important gameplay related, i cant play skyrim vr without nalo, i cant play sairento without nalo, cant play fallout vr without nalo.
The dev can raise the price for this to 3x or a monthly subscription but for god sake give more frequent support, i am ok paying extra for fast support and frequent updates like the hosting providers do.

Maybe. Who knows what's he's doing in his life

Don't think negative. I'm sure he will get back soon

If you search the word "afford" on this discussion board you will see he has mentioned several times that they have trouble to afford working on Nalo.

They had a similar period to this one of no response for reveral weeks and then they came out with a big update (the latest one I think) and started responding again.

This is the most important app for VR imo. I really hope they will solve the financial issue.

Be patient. They're resting to come with force later. Their income is not enough to hire more devs.


They did a great work, being an indie studio that appeared from nothing, and they offered a great solution to VR locomotion at a really low price that works wonders with almost any game.


I'm gald with NaLo as it'r right now considering that I paid to move around swinging my hands and now i can use my feet with PS3 cheap move controllers and my android attached to my waist.


So, patience :)

Well they could have at least said something instead of just vanishing, I`d give em some leeway. You don`t just vanish like you`re ashamed.

Do you know this for a fact? Any evidence? A link?

All we want is some INFORMATION. If you have a business and are having a few issues, just politely inform the customer and tell them you`ll resume as soon as possible with a simple apology. You don`t just go silent- especially when dealing with people who paid money. This will just cause people to make their own conclusions (as is natural for people) and come to incorrect assumptions.

The customer is owed an explanation at the very least.

I'd kick in a bit to keep them going.

As far as I understand the developer was busy on the project about VR journey through archaeological site "La Motilla del Azuer" and even got into local news. 😎

Hope he'll be back soon.

Great discovery!

Hope that's the case and he comes back to update NaLo when this project is done. In any case, communication with userbase and potential customers IS important.

Really sad if this does end up abandoned, lots of lost business potential.
