Repeated intro

Hey everyone Thank you yet again for your continued support with Mass Exodus, today there's a couple of things that we want to talk about.

What changed

0 fixes1 addition3 changes1 removal
  • Performance
  • Store
  • Gameplay
changedThe GameWe understand that there are some glaring issues with the most recent patch, as well as some underlying issues that we want to fix quickly. Due to the way the game was made (through a game jam), the base code is not in a stable state to keep updating, so we're rebuilding it from the ground up. This will improve performance amongst other things, drastically . We aim to have this finished within the next week or two, and hopefully this will resolve almost all of the issues people have been having with the game.
addedVR client and PC clientWe've found since launching the PC client of the game, theres some big issues that stop you from upgrading to the VR version, or gifting either versions to a friend. Currently the game has 2 app IDs, but your Steam library only checks to see you have one. So it almost merges them if you upgrade, causing big issues. We're talking to some of the Steam / Valve team at the moment, on making it so the game is easier to purchase and understand, the new system will hopefully be as follows:
removedVR client and PC clientVR Client will be removed from the Store
changedVR client and PC clientDLC to upgrade unlock VR features (This will be given to everyone who originally owned the VR version of the game)
changedVR client and PC clientHopefully this will resolve all issues people have been having with the game, purchasing, and even playing without issues. We'll post here once the game updated. Thank you The Polymerse Team

The Game

We're talking to some of the Steam / Valve team at the moment, on making it so the game is easier to purchase and understand, the new system will hopefully be as follows:

  • VR Client will be removed from the Store

  • PC Client will remain as it is

  • DLC to upgrade unlock VR features (This will be given to everyone who originally owned the VR version of the game)

Hopefully this will resolve all issues people have been having with the game, purchasing, and even playing without issues. We'll post here once the game updated. Thank you The Polymerse Team
