Gambit! - DanDanDaaaan
Tally-ho VR friends, welcome to Gambit!



We're glad to see you here!
Where to start... well, first of all we'd like to thank everyone in the VR community for the overwhelming support and positivity that we received over the years. Gambit! is our 3rd PCVR title, and the release couldn't be less stressful haha.

We wanted to create a whole new and different world from scratch, and a light-hearted solo/co-op campaign full of laughter, guns and rock and roll to accompany it. Our Gambit! team poured their heart and soul into the game to make that happen, it became a true passion project. <3

Before we get too sentimental though, let's see what the game has to offer!

# RELEASE CONTENT

## SOLO/CO-OP CAMPAIGN

Gambit!'s backbone is its story mode - this is where you meet and get to know our protagonists, Frank, Cody, Udo & Kevin, 4 close-knit mercenaries trying to get rich, or die trying. Their relationship is the epitome of a bromance - prepare for endless quirky banter peppered with the finest and crudest humor out there!
You are free to choose any of the 4 characters (each with a unique special weapon!) - the rest will accompany you on the BIG journey in the form of your friends, VR strangers or AI, as the campaign can be fully played solo or in Co-op (up to 4 players)! Quick, tell your friends and family!

The campaign is full of very well hidden areas with hidden mini games, unlockable weapons, attachments, skins and other collectibles, Easter eggs and objectives that are all rewarded with unlockables. No hand-holding though, you'll have to REALLY look for the good stuff!

## MUNICIPAL MAYHEM™

Ah, the good old Municipal Mayhem™... a matchmaking-based free4all PvP game mode, where the last player standing wins. 1 match, 1 life. Very fast-paced action, quick in and out, and loads of points to be grabbed to unlock new arenas, masks, charms, weapon upgrades, skins & more! Show us how high you can climb on the tournament ladder!

## PVP

A classic 4-player free4all deathmatch we all love, mindless action against friends/strangers, no strings attached.

## HUB AREA AND THE ARMORY

Don't forget to explore the starting area as well - who knows what secrets you may find? ;)
Make sure to visit the armory often (to the left from the mission board), everything you unlock along the way will pop up in there, and so do unlockable masks and charms (right side of the corridor on your way to the armory).

# CLOSE-TO-RELEASE CONTENT

Gambit!'s release is only the 1st step - we'll very soon be back with content updates! You can expect weapon packs with crazy designs, and the Consumer Cleanup™ game mode, Gambit!'s zombie mode with a one-of-a-kind twist (and a completely new campaign narrative that will double the game’s playtime).
Stay tuned!

# RELEASE ISSUES

No release is perfect, and this one is no exception - we have discovered an issue last last last minute that may rarely cause crashes in Co-op, or Co-op related features (like invites). :(
We didn't want to delay the game again, so please bear with us while we panic and release a patch next week.
In the meantime, please report EVERYTHING you find regarding this, or any other technical issue in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1736120/discussions/2/3818530649093093323/

# SUPPORT

Please DO reach out to us! We're eager to hear your feedback, suggestions and wild ideas - those who know us from Zero Caliber know that community feedback is our bread and butter, we'll be reading every single review, email and comment, even if we don't get back to everyone!
Again, thank you everyone for the overwhelming support and positivity, we hope you'll enjoy Gambit! as much as we enjoyed making it! <3

See you around,
_XREAL Games Team_

The Alien Cube - Alessandro Guzzo
The Lovecraft Tag event on Steam has just begun!
To celebrate this special moment, the game has been updated with an in-game event as a tribute to the most important source of inspiration for my games: H.P. Lovecraft.
He was a writer of horror and weird stories, born in Providence in 1890.
He is mostly known for the creation of the Cthulhu Mythos. In his tales he made frequent references to ancient and powerful gods called the "Great Old Ones".
Lovecraft’s macabre imagination has been inspiring for my works, in particular his ability to convey a feeling of insignificance that characterizes man's place in the universe. His protagonists have to deal with a horrifying truth that should not be revealed to humanity.

THE INGAME EVENT:
It consists in a new main menu theme and a secret drawing that I’ve hidden somewhere in the game. Search everywhere and find it!
This event will last one month.

GAME UPDATE:
The game has also been updated with bug fixes and general improvements.

MY NEXT PROJECT:
Are you curious to see something about my next game? Here are a few sneak peeks for you:







Those scenarios are in very early stages as I’m currently developing them, so keep in mind that they are not representing the final quality of the game.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think! ;)
Like my previous games, it is a first person horror adventure with a strong focus on Lovecraftian vibes. It’s a very ambitious project and I can’t wait to share with you a lot more in the next future!

HELP ME GROWING THE COMMUNITY:
As a solo dev, it would be amazing for me if you could help me growing the community around my games by following my Steam Developer Page and my socials:

A big thank to everyone!

Among Us 3D: VR - akuta
Greetings, Crewmates!

Back in February, we revealed a new map is coming to Among Us VR later this year. We also tasked you to help us make 📜📜 Crewmate History 📜📜 by voting as a community for the name of said map 🔎. Well, you voted and the results are in. 🧮

The official name for Among Us VR's new Polus-inspired map has been decided, and we’re excited to reveal it to the universe (and our fans)!

But first, let’s talk about how busy you’ve been, honestly. Around 14,000 of you voted for your map name choice, and over 80% of you provided extremely helpful insights about your experience and desires for the game going forward — thank you, beans!.

A number of you have also been participating in our Open Beta, getting a sneak peek at our upcoming patch and some new go-to fashion (such as the beloved Horse Hat). On top of this, you’ve also been doing the work, ejecting Impostors — and the unfortunate Crewmates 👀💦 — regularly.

So, not only do we send a huge note of thanks, but we want to formally invite you (oh, we know) to kick up your little bean feet and enjoy the chilly heat — snow + lava + map name reveal? Yes please! (Just go with it, beans. It’s self-care).

And thus, let us present to our fellow beans: 🥁🥁🥁 our first-ever Among Us VR]/i] Lofi video![/b] 🎶🎶🎶


Enjoy seven absolute bean bops (again, we know) while you vibe out today and wait for the big new map name reveal!

TerraScape - SwordsOfTheSouth

Dear TerraScape players!

TerraScape entered Early Access yesterday evening!
With this, we have reached our first major milestone and fullheartedly welcome all players to our Hexagon Worlds!

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our beta testers, without whom it would not have been possible to bring our mix of city-building and puzzle game to all of you in this form.
Your feedback, your praise, your criticism and of course your time - all this has helped us enormously to improve TerraScape. Therefore, our thanks will not only consist of mere words. For this reason, we would like to give you a little something by upgrading all beta testers to the Early Access version as a big "Thank you!" for your valuable support in this project.
We hope that you will continue to enjoy TerraScape as much as you did during the beta phase and that you will continue to support us with your feedback.

Of course, we also encourage all new players to provide us with feedback, praise and criticism so that we can continue to develop TerraScape together.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Discord.

The team from Bitfall Studios
