and a couple of updates before I go make x-mas pierogis.. 🎄





Hope you’re all staying warm and cozy, looking forward to nice big glasses of hot cocoa and some loving, relaxing time with your loved ones next week. We’ve been having crackling fireplace videos on repeat christmassing up our office for the last few days, so I thought I’d give you all a virtual hug and wish you all the best before we all disperse to spend time with our family and friends tomorrow.

I hope you had a good year this year. To me, all of you have been awesome and amazing exactly the way you are. Couldn’t have hoped for a nicer, more loving and more positive community than you guys. I hope Santa’s good for you this year. You only deserve the best. <3


It’s been a pretty cool year for us too and we’ve been keeping ourselves pretty busy working on some cool new stuff for you guys. While you’re here, before I sign off and go bake gingerbreads, let me catch you up quickly on what we’re doing over the holidays.





As I wrote up a week ago, we’ve been reworking big chunks of the game over the last few months to make it great and fun to play. We just got a new build with the last few months of updates and we're playtesting it internally. I don’t want to spoil details, but it plays really really fun now. All of it is shaping up pretty cool and it's quite a bit closer to being finished.
I'll let you know more about it very soon.
Keep being patient for a few more days. It’ll be worth it.




Soo how is your present checklist going? Missing some items?
Yeah same here. After all, we both know the Holidays are really more about shameless consumerism than anything else. :)

You probably won’t be able to avoid the Steam Winter Sale. Valve’s really good at making you super happy to buy more fun stuff to unwind during for the Holiday break. Just in case though - if Santa gets your loved one a fancy VR kit to unwrap next week, the Winter Sale will probably be a pretty great time to jump in and grab them a copy of SUPERHOT VR (totally different game than the original non-VR SUPERHOT), or even splurge a bit and get the whole collection of VR Essentials that we forged with our indie gamedev buddies. It's a pretty sweet set of some of the best award-winning, best-selling, genre-defining VR must-plays and it’ll probably run a super good deal over the holidays.






And while we’re in VR - we have been super spoiled with this community. Seriously.
Thank you guys for being such a supportive bunch. We are not worthy.
Thanks to you SUPERHOT VR has been nominated for best Steam Awards VR Game of the Year!
This is humbling stuff.
Voting has just started so there’s a button here on the Awards voting page that you can press to support us even more. Totally cool if not, I love you unconditionally anyway. <3


Happy holidays ya’ll
Szymon from SUPERHOT Team

[EDIT]
Fixed the fix. There was a bug in the demo where it used one control scheme in one level and then switched to other scheme. This was probably causing other issues.

Hey everybody,

We know you've all been waiting for this. The new patch is here, and it contains are as follows:

• Fixed a bug where the items were falling out of non-dominant hand in Oculus version
  
• General optimization
  
• Some minor bug tweaks
  
• New feature - we added a demo/party mode. Basically first level of the game looped, ideal for showing the game to friends at parties or running on events and arcades.

After clicking play button in Steam you can choose between normal version and demo mode. Demo will restart automatically after 5 seconds from displaying "You can now safely remove your headset" info.

That's it for today! Let us know what you think about the demo mode :)

Cheers,
Sandra form SUPERHOT TEAM

Alrighty! So we spent the last few days testing and retesting the new control scheme and had you guys check it out as well. It does seem to be more comfortable for most, so we're now pushing the update to the default channel.

Quick refresher on what this actually means (and what we totally look like in skintight spandex):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UGFOzrIlKg

To sum it up:

• To grab an object use the trigger
  
• To release it use the touchpad
  
• You grabbed a gun? Shoot with the trigger.
  
• Wanna go melee? Just hold the trigger while unarmed and punch away!

So the complete, thoroughly documented change log for the 1.0.3 patch shapes up to:

• New control scheme
  
• Changed pivots on some objects to make them more comfortable
  
• Updated ingame animated tutorial
  
• Moved some objects around a bit
  
• Fixed some performance issues

And if you're already used to the original control scheme and would rather have it stay that way, we've got a special beta branch just for you. Follow these three steps and squish away on the Vive grip buttons just as you did before:

1. In your Steam library, right click on SUPERHOT VR and click on "Properties"
   
2. Click on the BETAS tab
   
3. Change the drop down to "original-vive-control-scheme".

PS. In case you haven't been watching the Sony E3 conference last night, I'm guest-posting for Szymon while he's out at E3 announcing SUPERHOT + SUPERHOT VR for PS4 🔥. Here's a super fancy new trailer for that:

Here is a little summary :

• New control scheme

How to access this test branch:

• In your Steam library, right click on SUPERHOT VR and click on "Properties"

• Change the drop down to "Alternative-vive-control-scheme".

So here is a little intro video to the new control scheme.

Easy right?

• You grabbed a gun? Shoot with the trigger.
  
• Wanna go melee? Just hold the trigger while unarmed and punch away!
