PunjiVR's History

PunjiVR originally started development as a hobby project, and I worked on it consistently (as a solo developer) for nearly 5 years. In that time, I created two versions of the game (Version 1 and Version 2; both are playable to owners of PunjiVR) and published nearly 30 major updates between both of those versions.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to continue development on PunjiVR. There are a lot of major plans and ideas that I won't be able to implement, and the game doesn't come close to my original intended vision. However, there is still a lot of solid and interesting content available as is, and I would recommend you try it out if you're interested in a unique VR experience. 

My hope is that the features and content in PunjiVR inspire future developers, games, and ideas. I'm still proud of what I made, and I believe that it can have an impact on the future of VR.

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported me on the 5-year development journey; I'm sorry that I'm not able to push the project further, but I hope the jungle still can provide enough fun for what it is. Thank you all.
