Hello Hypatians!
Here's some things you might have missed since 1.16:
- Patched in strafing for locomotion!
- Added in always-run (to be used with the aim-slowdown functionality (VR only for now).
- Some things that were still missing got zapped back into existence!
- A place to plant seeds has appeared. You'll need a magic one for it to grow...
- Updating the Game Engine to version 4.22.1! And a new population widget to help find where people are.
- Beta ticket now goes to a public test level, where all sorts of things get tested! You can get to the beta area of your choosing from there.
- You can now wear hats across areas!
- Fishing rod has been added, though it's quite twitchy. Catch one of three new fishes!
- Adding coins in Oculus should be less likely to fail if Oculus is being slow.
- Elevators have been installed in the Hotel lobby and Du Nul theater! :wheelchair:
- Sodium should now ignite again when thrown into water.
- You can now see your experience and money even in the main menu! What's next, a working Inventory?
- Many small tweaks and bug fixes
- Bugs have been given a new color, which can sometimes help finding them! Also, submitting bug reports in-game should work more properly again.
- Fishies aren't so energetic on land.
- Double-barreled pop-gun will actually hit the targets on the lake now.
- Fixed players always getting the level up notification when entering the game (and occasionally being showered with gifts).
- Many items are now more usable in Mouse and Keyboard! Things like, the spray cans, sports balls, cameras, and many more can now be snapped into view with the F-key!
- A new item appears, the Sound Recorder Button, which lets you record a 15-second message!

Update 1.16
Check it out! a shiny new trading table in Centrum! Finally solved the wobble (hopefully permanently!) in VR. Mic sensitivity was turned way down on accident, so the game didn't think you were talking when you actually were. All photos should now be pickup-able in Mouse and Keyboard. 3D art submissions fixed! Packed down the ground in Sprite Park so it stops moving all around you. Adjust some auto-spawning objects to avoid ghosts and de-sync (hopefully). Other small quality-of-life improvements.

Update 1.15
Update 1.15 is out now! We've done several updates in a row now, so lets take a moment to go over all the things that have changed in the last few updates!
We fully support Mouse and Keyboard play! Hypata is a VR first title, which means that some features may require the manual dexterity of VR in order to get the most out of them, but that is no reason to miss out on all the other features of Hypatia, or to not be able to play with your friends! So we've opened up Hypatia to all Steam users, regardless of having a VR headset or not. In order to do so, we've made a number of features more nonVR friendly, and added a HUD to display all the info you'll need, as well as helpful control reminders! Let us know what you think about these changes, we're always looking to improve it more. VR users, don't worry! We haven't removed or changed any part from your experience to accommodate our new nonVR users, we just added some accessibility options to those without VR to simplify the controls.
We now support Windows Mixed Reality headsets! We're always excited to support the latest hardware, and bring Hypatia to as many people as we can.
Building your own property is one of the coolest parts of Hypatia! You can purchase a space using the in game currency, and then decorate it just the way you want, changing wallpapers, buying furniture, etc! There is personal property, where only you and people you invite can visit, and there are public property that you can decorate for anyone to come see! We've recently added another purchasable hotel room, and made some updates to the commercial property, and the apartment to add some more space to both!
Missed the Lunar New Year event? That's okay! While the Spirit Hunt is no longer active, we've left the area open for exploration, and who knows what we'll put in there next!
Finally, in this latest update, we added in new magic items - potions, orbs, and staves! These fun consumable items are awarded from the daily login boxes, and provide things like speed boosts, extra bits (one of our in game currencies), or experience! This new reward box will be awarded every day you login, and unlike previous temporary boxes, this box is not part of a timed event, and will continue to exist into the foreseeable future!

Feature roadmap!
We are proud to announce our feature roadmap! Come join us in game to talk about these upcoming features and more! First, lets add the one to the road map that is not displayed - Events!

If you've purchased the Travel Ticket to the Testing Area you may have already experienced Climbing and/or Voxel scupting in Hypatia! Both of these features will be integrated into the game in the near future. Musical instruments will be added soon, which will allow you to perform live using guitars, drums, flutes, and more! 3D Prop Films are a new unique art form! Record and save prop animations to play for your friends or the general public. This will likely be added first as a testing area, like climbing or voxel sculpting Accessories are incoming as well! Like the current hats? Wish they followed your head, or stayed with you between areas? Want more accessories? Well you'll get all that and more!! Property Ever wanted to have your own a private space in Hypatia for just you and your friends? What about renting an apartment and filling it with your favorite things? Wish you could own the door across from the Art Studio? Wanting to build an amusement park for all of Hypatia to enjoy?

Like the current hats? Wish they followed your head, or stayed with you between areas? Want more accessories? Well you'll get all that and more!! Property Ever wanted to have your own a private space in Hypatia for just you and your friends? What about renting an apartment and filling it with your favorite things? Wish you could own the door across from the Art Studio? Wanting to build an amusement park for all of Hypatia to enjoy? With the coming Player Property update, Hypatians will be able to purchase and design public and private areas!

Hypatia Dev Days - Play with the devs!
[ 2018-08-30 22:30:37 CET ] [ Original post ]
This Friday (8/31) and Saturday (9/1) join the developers in the first official event of Hypatia!
Each of us will be joining the world to chat, hang out, and answer questions about the development of Hypatia!
We will be on from at least 10 AM - 4 PM PDT but if you miss us, don't worry! You're likely to see us popping in and out frequently all the time anyway.
(1-7 PM EST)
((5-11 PM UTC))
Also we have setup our Reddit and a Discord to encourage player-player and player-dev communication cross platform! (Dont worry, I'll still check the Steam forums daily!)

Introducing... The Devs!
Its me! I am the lead programmer and the one who (currently) posts all of the updates on Steam, Facebook, Twitter, Email, Reddit, etc to you!
Turk is our Database Engineer. He ensures that you can log in, everything you do is properly saved, and helps make Hypatia into a persistent world.
Jason is our Engine Programmer, and hired goon!
Timbo is our Lead Designer! He is responsible for envisioning the cohesive city that is Hypatia!
SteosaurusRex is our lead artist, and the guy who made the above promotional image! He is responsible for creating the beautiful environments you experience in Hypatia!
LilStevers is one of our 2D/3D artists. You can play with some of her wands in the Live Theater and you might even be wearing one of the Avatar Skins or Parts she has created!
Vincent is our most recent hire, and our only sound guy. You can expect all the audio within Hypatia to keep getting better because of him!
Finally, we would like to thank all the former developers who ever worked on Hypatia. It would not be what it is today without the work of so many. It has been a large group effort over a long period of time to get to where we are now, and we just want to say thanks!
Until next time,
See you in Hypatia!

Come explore Hypatia, the massively multiplayer metropolis filled with creation tools, mind-bending puzzles, and adorable stuffed animals!
-EXPLORE-
The city of Hypatia is a huge open world, filled with canvases for painting, canals for boating, and stuffed animals for throwing! Follow clues in the environment to find all the hidden areas, secret items, and unique treasures.
The streets of Hypatia can be explored on foot, on a rowboat down the canals and lakes, or through the skies in hot air balloons and airships. Featuring full locomotion as well as teleportation movement modes, our robust control options allow you to move how you feel most comfortable.
Whether you’re navigating a multi-dimensional maze, sailing through the rooftops in an airship, or diving with a plesiosaur at the bottom of the sea, you’ll be amazed by what you’ll discover next. Every corner of Hypatia has secrets waiting to be discovered, and each one will reward you handsomely for finding them! Win unique parts for your avatar, currency to spend in the mall, and lots more.
-CREATE-
Players can draw and paint anywhere, take pictures with one of five different types of camera, or perform a new act on stage in front of a live VR audience. Spray paint comes in every color imaginable, and permanently paintable walls are everywhere. If you prefer a traditional canvas, easels can be found in most of the city’s beautiful parks.
Submit your favorite pieces to galleries like the Art Studio’s Painting Gallery or the Mango Photography Museum’s Photo Gallery, and vote for your favorite works by fellow artists. Can you win first place in the weekly art contests?
Once you’ve made all this art and collected loads of prizes, where are you going to put it all? How about in your own personal apartment? Spaces are now available for Hypatia’s Player Property update! You can design and decorate your own VR home with furniture, wall paper, and lots of stuffed animals! Every door in Hypatia leads to a different property, meaning every player can own a part of the game map for themselves.
-SOCIALIZE-
Striking up a conversation with other players is easy with our proximity voice chat; just say hello! Use the Social menu to add them as a friend, and keep in touch anywhere in the city. Join our active Discord server to stay up-to-date on weekly community-led events and organize with other players.
Through your travels across the city, you’ll be able to find and collect over a hundred unique avatar parts. Then you can customize each part with colors and styles, and mix & match different parts to create your own individual look.
