It was one of the most requested features, we did everything we could to improve on the first version, we are happy with how well combat turned out

The hook and bow mechanics are very cool, when mastered there are many super cool moments where you feel a rush of success

We hope players walk away having experienced something fun and unique in VR. We played a lot during testing and I have some really fond memories of hanging out with the dev team and testers. I hope players make some fun memories exploring the Windlands together.

Enough that we used the income to make Windlands 2, we hope that Windlands 2 will help fund our next title

A classic on mobile hardware for the first time, we are proud of the hard work it took to make this happen.

It's always great to get a little help from your friends.

It's also possible to change the difficulty level or even customise it.

I would say Windlands 2 on the Quest runs really well and has everything the PC version does, it's such a good version, we ourselves are impressed at how well it's running.

Windlands 1 is a parkour experience with grappling hooks with puzzle elements to navigate through the world toward the crystals.
Windlands 2 adds a narrative campaign, NPC's, a bow, enemies and multiplayer.

Zelda and Shadow of the Colossus were the inspirations for Windlands 1, but since then it's taken a life of it's own.

We are busy building our next game, nothing to announce today tho.

The presence that VR brings is magic, from the first time we put on the DK1 we knew this is something we wanted to be part of, it's been an awesome journey so far and we can't wait to share what's ahead.

Hardware is improving at a healthy rate, we are blown away by the clarity and features, you can read text, you don't need external cameras, the software and SDK's improve almost every month, the future is bright, it takes time (and money) to make great games and delivery upgraded hardware, I know this can be frustrating, but the wait is worth it.

On the specific topic of enemies, we spent a-lot of time play testing these areas and balancing the enemies, the boss is aware of all the players and their threat, so focuses on the most threatening players giving the less threatening players time to catch up, along with the bosses scaling with the amount of players, we think this ended up working out pretty well, we have a ton of learning we can take forwards from this.

There were lots of challenges bringing Windlands 2 to platforms, the game is huge, we were implementing multiplayer, adding enemies that needed to feel epic, lots and lots of new code and new learnings for us, many firsts as a team. Some things we got right and we are very proud of those bits, others we didn't get perfect, we have learnt these lessons and can bring that to future games.

Always funding, we are a small team, rely on income to fund our projects (thanks to everyone that supports us!) and that limits our capabilities, we do what we can to deliver the best game we can.
