changedThe original reason I was inspired to make this game was because I had looked at what was being done in the VR space, in regards to gunplay, and I felt I could push it a bit further toward reality. I put about a year's worth of time into trying to get this ready, to see if there would be any interest whatsoever in this form of play. This past week since release has shown me the harsh reality, almost no one is interested in this game. Of a quarter of a million impressions, 6k were willing to click on the name and see the game. Of those 6k less than 20 people were willing to buy it. My plan was to see if there would be interest once it went on sale, nope, no interest. VR will eventually reach a point where guns will be realistic and they'll look far better than what I have made and while I hoped to help push it there, there is not enough profit to do so. I'm sorry, I cannot in good conscience subject myself to what I would never subject another, to work for pennies on the hour, if that. I could have literally worked one hour in ANY job and had a larger profit. I'm going to submit that the game be made free, in hopes that more people can play it and be inspired to focus on making guns in VR more realistic. I'm sorry, shaking your hand to reload a weapon is clever and easy, but its not my cup of tea. I will not develop this game any further and will focus my efforts on becoming a better artist and programmer. I am not planning to enter the VR market again for a while, its either unviable or I'm a failure, and either requires my absence.
