Oh dang, no sooner is H3VR gearing up to leave early access with Steam Workshop support, but the sequel is announced. The original is one of the big VR must-haves, up there with VRChat and Half-Life Alyx, IMO.

The VR version of the best hobbies are only a decade old and face a tremendous marketing problem. They have to reach fans of the hobby where they play or congregate, adding targeting costs while (as lone devs) simultaneously building core features. www.goodvirtualreality.com/p/first-time...

Listen, counting on VR fingers is hard. There's wasn't another good way to get six fingers, ok?! Anyways, six days left, goblins! #indiegame #vrhorror #virtualreality
A goblin dressed up as a pirate holds up six fingers in front of a lava waterfall. There are five fingers on one hand, and one finger on the other hand. It's the bad finger. The text on the image says "Six Days Left".
