This weeks update focuses on some of the feedback from the community, specifically on VR improvement and performance.

Improvements:

Reworked load system to gradually load in assets at start to reduce VR hangtime.
Various VR improvements to reduce cpu load.
Rebuilt the garage angle adjustment system to be -/+ as opposed to sliders.
Rebuilt the ECU programming panels to lay flat on canvas.
Multiple Garage enhancements.
Quality Settings now change terrain detail and cloud shadow coverage.
Store optimized to hide excess poly (8 million to 400k!).
All scrollable selectors improved interface, included a "drag" ability.
Starting credits now at 30k to get you into the mid-tiers quicker.
Quality Settings now change terrain detail and cloud shadow coverage.
Cockpit models slightly optimized.
Racer Position list removed from view when in VR ( replacement coming in next build).

So far the feedback has been really positive from Vive users. I am really glad that you are experiencing the game as it was meant to be. Please keep in mind that these are the early stages of Vive integration and the experience will only improve as the software develops. Give the game a good review if you are enjoying it, or if you are having issues, feel free to post a note on the forums. As a solo developer, I am doing everything I can to make it the best experience I can for you, so thanks for your patience. -Ryan

Vector 36 is Physics-Based Racer set on the terraformed surface of Mars. You pilot a Skimmer, a completely customizable, surface skimming vehicle. With total control over every component, you are responsible for how your Skimmer performs. Piloting skill and engineering make the difference between winning and losing.

Race other pilots through various tracks on Mars. Compete in Sprint, Circuit, or Tournament modes to win credits, parts, or new Skimmers.

Each part of your Skimmer is bound by the laws of physics. Moving internal components will shift the center of gravity, adjusting angles to thrusters will affect its flight characteristics.

Fine tuning is the difference between winning and losing. Choose from a wide selection of parts, accessories, passive weapons, or support gear to adjust your Skimmer to its task. Whether it's a quick sprint at full boost, an endurance race with hardened parts, or a hill climb where lift is more important than thrust; evolve or get left behind.

Witness new skimmers, tracks, obstacles, support bots, parts, weapons, opponents and game modes. Vector36 will be growing over time.

Full Oculus Rift support will be followed by HTC Vive.
