VR CHAMPIONS! WELCOME BACK TO AMID EVIL VR.

When we originally launched AEVR in 2023 it was primarily developed for the popular VR headsets at the time, most notably the Quest 2. And while we updated the game throughout 2023 and into 2024 we never truly brought it into the next generation... until now.

Here's what we've been up to:

  • Vastly reworked axe throwing (it's a little OP, but it's a lot of fun!)

  • Improved tutorial (with axe throwing and controller options)

  • Improved weapon handling (they're not toys, you know)

  • Improved planet throwing (because ball is life)

  • Improved boss fights (because they're a big deal)

  • Improved visual fidelity (next gen asf)

  • Improved performance (legitimately)

  • Improved lighting (ooh ahh)

  • Improved Valve Index controller support (use those grips)

  • Improved HTC Vive controller support (use those wands)

  • New gameplay and visual options (to better tweak your gameplay experience)

  • Tons of small balance adjustments, fixes and gameplay tweaks!

    (even messages to remind you how to get out of water bubbles)

This update was tested extensively on the Valve Index, Quest 2, Quest 3, Rift S and HTC Vive. And if you don't have one of those particular headsets, do know we've tried our best to make sure every HMD and controller setup works as well as we can!

We're keen to do another hotfix based on your feedback so please give it to us! (Use the forums or find us on Discord) And yes, we're also going to try to finally add some achievements.

Now while you may know AEVR was directed, tested and published by New Blood, it was developed and updated by a very very very small team.

So please go and say thank you to Noah Rayburn who has worked diligently on this project since 2022 to make sure it meets the high standards set by us here at New Blood. He also worked on the award winning Starship Home!

As always, if you apprecoiate the work that we do, don't forget to leave a review and spread the good word of New Blood, champions!

Until we meet again,

The universe awaits...
