Windlands Update Released! Version 1.0.0.3

31-Mar-2016 An update to Windlands has been released to Steam and will be automatically downloaded. We are planning to leave Early Access! We don’t intend to stop supporting Windlands, in fact we expect to add more challenge levels as free content over the next few months. Also coming up is some bonus content (such as hooks and game +). We have reached a stage where the main game is content complete and the main mechanics are solid. Customer feedback consists mostly of minor fixes at this stage, or things like it’s floaty, it’s slidy, it’s hard (we know, it’s supposed to be). We also want to be at the point where Windlands 1 is complete so we can have the freedom to make our next games.

Big Changes

SKY!!!, yes! the final world with the last 2 power Crystals and 40 more tablet artifacts awaits. You will need to collect at least 5 power Crystals to unlock the new island in the Hub.

Windlands is now completable! You can finish the game by collecting the 2 Crystals in Sky and reaching the last section - end game music, credits and all.

We have added Mosaics to the sides of the main hub walls. Every tablet artifact you collect fills in a piece of the mosaic for that world. Check them out to learn the ancient story behind Windlands.

We have added Projectors to each Power Crystal you obtain. Stand on the projectors to watch a short story segment.

A robot has been added to City along with animations for each Crystal pickup.

Game Improvements

We have updated the end sections of the challenge maps to match our vision.

When you complete the challenge maps you now get rewarded with effects, with extra special reward effects for beating your personal best.

We have changed the game font. This has been requested often for improvement. A new clean font has been chosen that we think fits well with Windlands.

Jungle Swing and City are now Unified, which improves performance and gets rid of the little seams between blocks.

We have added AZERTY Keyboard support in the options.

General Fixes

Lots of minor map fixes from the in-game customer feedback tool. Please continue to use this tool to report anything broken or unfair, and we will continue to polish the maps.

VR

We have updated the Oculus SDK to 1.3

We have updated the Steam VR SDK 1.0.8

We have improved the Vive controller support and made touch the default (you don’t have to press the pad), you can switch to press mode in the options by switching to alternative layout, we have also increased the default sensitivity. Please keep your screenshots, fan art & videos coming in! We love seeing what you are getting up to in the game. Many thanks for your continued support on our journey! Enjoy! - Psytec Games Team

A first person grappling hook exploration game.

Soar through the ruins of a fallen world and discover the secrets of the ancients. Windlands has been developed primarily for Virtual Reality headsets, but is also a great experience for those without headsets.

It appeals to those who want to explore the breathtaking vistas at a relaxing pace, while the challenging routes attract gamers who like to master the skill of soaring through the towering environments at top speed.

WARNING: Windlands is an intense (but awesome) experience in VR, it takes time to get your VR Legs, please take baby steps if you are sensitive to locomotion in VR play in very short sessions and perhaps try cages, sitting down and a controller if you are still effected, the second you feel a bit of nausea please stop and take a break
