addedWe just rolled out our newly reformatted version of The Legend Begins which includes major integrity upgrades, a new and improved look, and a new format for improved compatibility with commercial location-based venues and Steam's Chaperone Boundary safety feature. New 12 x 12 format Thunderbird has been completely reformatted for 12 x 12 room-scale playspaces and is now fully compliant with Steam VR's recommended Room-scale specifications , offering improved compatibility with the Chaperone Boundary system. Improved Lighting Thunderbird has a new and improved look to help reduce contrast and the resulting lens glares produced by the HMD's Fresnel lenses under high contrast lighting conditions. The original version was rather dark overall and the new and improved lighting values also help to enhance the sensation of presence by exposing the viewer to more visual information than before. Major Upgrades We've been very busy addressing all of the bugs and glitches from the comments section and we're happy to announce that we were able to resolve many of the issues that were encountered in the original release build. With more than 40 new updates, this latest version has too many improvements to list but we're confident that we have a much more stable build to offer everyone and we'll continue to improve every aspect of the experience so please don't hesitate to leave your comments wherever convenient and we will do our best to address them as quickly as possible. Thanks again to everyone for your interest in Thunderbird and we really hope you will enjoy all of the new improvements that we've made!
