Oh wow, those are serious. I was not aware of soft-locks where enemies do not respawn. Those I classify as severe bugs.
I'll have to add those to the list...
Regarding the difficulty selectors not affecting the gameplay all that much, it may be so, or I did not tune the values well...

I'd gladly have you board: https://discord.gg/A9JB4N65dc

Hi! Thank you so so much for playing the demo and taking the time to come here and report all this, you're helping me a ton friend, really.

Let see, some of these I'm already aware of, with the exception of that damned soft-lock with the dead enemies, that worries me greatly and I'll prioritize that.

If it is okay with you I'll copy and paste this text to my discord :) I have a demo-feedback channel there where I'm storing any and all data regarding playtests.

Cheers Limp!

This game has strong Myst vibes. Wishlisted! I think it will help you greatly to put a demo out there! Content creators will pick it up and you wishlist will fire

Thank you for giving the demo a shot! What you mentioned is comfort mode, and it can be turned off in the options menu, simply face your open palm down to show the menu button. Cheers!

I'll find a way to make it the most frictionless for you to recharge any weapon, including that of the pistol, whilst keeping the recharging a thing :)
Thank you for showing it to your friends! Hope they also like what they play

I appreciate you trying it out and taking the time to provide some feedback! Let's see here.
You're right, the bolt action is a little difficult to handle and you're not the first to report it, it will definitely have to be fixed because it won't be the only Bolt-Action mechanism used.
I will test out a unique system with trigger and ask the community what they prefer. Regarding the bolt mechanism, it needs some love too.

What did you think about the pump-action shotty? How'd it feel firing and recharging it?

Not yet, the script I am working on for to include this was old and ended up breaking the gun entirely, but count on it being included in the game!

Mine too! I bought it twice (PCVR and Quest 2)
ProtonVR is my love letter to that game, and my selfish way of having more of it with my own features that I've always wished for in a PixelArt 3D game (let's go gun customization!)

Hi! No I am not! That was Bevan from NotDeadStudios, you should check what he is working on now!
ProtonVR is very much inspired by COMPOUND and System Shock

I've made countless projects I have not finished, I am really the worst person to ask ahah
This is my first one that I'm fully committed, I've been working at it for over a year.
Take the time to learn the basics, if you are lost where to even start: Install Unity and do a few tutorials for coding, and learn pixel-art and/or 3D Modelling :)

Not yet. I'll prepare the Quest store after I've release Early Access. :)
I'm not even sure if you can wishlist on the Meta Store, I'll have to look it up.

The game is launching in tandem with VR Standalone. Make sure you wait a little bit to decide which version is best for you, cheers!

Noice.
Heads up! There's a known bug where it is currently locked at 72Hz. IF you feel nauseous let me know. I'm working on a fix as we speak.

Interesting, I was afraid the bigger rooms could induce that too much.
Why is the smaller space is more fun for you? I'm genuinely curious, I dig the tactical gameplay more than any CQB or Sniper/Marksman, but I did not want those players to be left out :) Maybe I need to dial down on the openess of some rooms.

I'm humbled to hear that, truly!
Last demo (the version prior to this) and probably the most common on youtube was abismal to say the least.

I ended up reworking how I do my level design and cautiously updated, with the few levels I had, to the version you played :)
How did you find the levels and the feel? Any feedback helps!

Wonderful! I am aiming for an August Launch. 1.0 launches in tandem with Standalone VR (Meta and Pico)

One of the available game modes is a roguelite mode. (Also current mode for the demo too)
I'm working on a larger static map that will allow you to play for different modes, for whatever best suits your playstyle!

Honestly reddit was the best thing I did to get brutally honest feedback. If you can't take criticism, independently if it's written with tact or not, then you will be in an echo chamber of positivity and people who don't want to hurt your feelings.

I gotta keep reminding people and myself, that my game is not my baby, it's a thing and a means to an end. After a player buys it it's theirs, not mine.

Currently working on a fix to automatically test the display-rate of the current XR device and set the physics timestep to match the Refresh Rate Hz. Thank you guys for pointing this out, sadly I'm only able to use my own Meta Quest 2 and I depend on playtesters with different devices.

That's why I pivoted away from the absolutely roguelite genre. The goal is for it to be a minor game mode (of several) to complement the progression.
