The jade key reveal sequence was tweaked to look a little cleaner:) …we also did lots of technical stuff to streamline future online processes, and game performance. Replaced renderer.material calls with renderer.sharedMaterial: Renderer.material calls to auto-instantiate materials. Using renderer.sharedMaterial when possible and manually managing instantiations when necessary to prevent performance and synchronization issues, of course!

As always, thank you so much! Update #14 - Baby Hands - Delivery Day!! One year ago, we took a single week to build a funny prototype of a baby crawling around in a retro cartoon house for Classic Game Fest in Austin, Texas. We were asked by the conference organizers to come show off some cool VR games to the audience, and we racked our brains to design and prototype something funny that matched The reception was phenomenal, and we knew we had something truly awesome on our hands with Baby Hands! Chicken waffle has built and launched 19 other AR/VR games and experiences over the past year for some huge clients, all while continuing to build and polish hundreds of interactive toys and hilarious retro parodies! We are proud to announce that Baby Hands is leaving Early Access with a competitive new price of $19.99! We wanted to get Baby Hands into the hands of more players.

The following is a brief list of the primary features updates: Finalized the list of 105 hidden achievements and retro Easter Eggs. (Although, we still may get a wild idea to add more next month:) Reoriented the turtle to be easier to grab. Balloons for the target mini-game were popping on invisible trigger volumes used for internal purposes, the net result being balloons popping and dropping triggers for seemingly no reason, this has been fixed! The broken pieces of a piggy-bank and gold coins retained their grab highlight after being dropped, but no more! Performance pass on camera rendering, the following camera where set to contextually render: GameDude, Kaleidoscope, Magnifying Glass, Snake, The time machine slot car sound effect was not near the racetrack as a 3D sound, and could be heard from across the house. Reset to 3D sound, and volume adjusted. Performance pass: corrected framerate drops when looking across house by adding occlusion across the house and taking other individual performance measures on individual items. Added sound effects for the clogging the tub and completing each wave in balloon target game. We will be back at Classic Game Fest 2018 this weekend, and RTX next weekend!
