Nature Treks: Together is now open for playtesting
Nature Treks VR Patch Notes — July 1, 2021
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Firstly, I apologize for using the Nature Treks hub to direct interest towards the new project. I do hope it's of genuine interest to people here.
I want to express my gratitude to everyone that has supported the PC version of Nature Treks. It is where the journey started and it's given me the opportunity to continue doing what I love, I've spent the last 5 years working on improving the ideas and concepts explored in it. Many ideas have been shelved along the way. However, I sincerely believe that Nature Treks: Together moves the concept in a positive direction and is a solid foundation to build on.
A lot of thought has gone into the multiplayer aspect of 'Together'. However, it still holds up as a single-player experience and improves on nearly every aspect of the current version, excluding the size of environments, the inclusion of larger animals, and environmental variation. All of which we plan on addressing in the future. So please don't let the multiplayer element deter you from trying it, single-player feedback is needed also.
Playtesting is now open for Nature Treks: Together, you just need to head over to the Together store page and 'request access'. We will start accepting the invites from tomorrow (02/07/2021).
Inputs for non Oculus devices need more work, specifically, we need to add in a separate character controller to support those to the extent we would like. However, the experience is still playable using Vive, Index, and WMR.
Please refer to the 'view the manual' link on the store page for a list of inputs and a user guide for the experience.
Any questions please post on the community hub, discord server or contact me via email.
Look forward to seeing you inside Nature Treks: Together
Best
John
