A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Thanks for all the support we received on the game. But we've seen the growth hit its peak and we want to bring in more players to try and play the game. So we decided to go free to play. You should see the change within a couple of days to weeks. There is no DLC planned or any other content planned, that could change. As of right now there are no plans.
- Removed Headlock content. Instead added forward Icon on the floor of the player.
Update 1.0.5 - Updated auto summon tablet location. - Updated summon tablet location. - Locked UI to head to fix issue of people not seeing it when moving around play space. - Fixed sound desync issue (causing the music to slow down). - Fixed mana and health bar glitch (keeping it from showing full when healing). *If you are enjoying the game be sure to leave a review!
Due to the lack of interest in the game we have lowered the price in hopes to bring in more players. Right now the game is completed. We had plans on adding in new content and features based on how well the game has sold. The interest in the game is overall very low. So, there are no plans for new content or features moving forward. We will continue support & bug fixes like normal (As they are reported).
- Fixed a bug that cause the autosave system to save on the main menu after a death. That would cause it to trigger a forever menu loop.
- Fixed a bug for people whose system didn't support Speech Recognition causing errors.
- Fixed Story and Quest Dialog - Fixed not being able to turn in quest Finding Friend. - Fixed Health UI bug glitch. - Fixed Fire Dungeon path being blocked by hill. - Fixed Cure Bullet - Fixed Soul Fire working each battle(will now wait the 10 minutes). - Fixed Broken rail in Tellus
- Fixed a bug that would lock the tablet's swap monsters app and remove monsters app. if you caught more than 72 monsters. - Fixed a bug that would sometimes have the gun return null and would make using bullets erratic.
We want to thank everyone who has bought the game or is considering buying. We really appreciate your support bringing something like this to life. We only became dev's by happenstance because no one else was making a monster catching game in VR. We do hope to see others take on it in the future. The game is complete and playable from start to finish. We have gotten some reports of bugs or wanted features, so we want to establish a patch schedule/ timeline. Writing We are having the writing completely overhauled by an outside company. Once it's complete it will be swapped out for what we have
Just a quick patch to fix a bug that was found with the respawn timer after battle. It wouldn't have effected many but would have for those hunting rare monsters.
For those who want to use voice commands it is on by default, but it is important that the game window be in focus or it will not work. There are three things to check for if you are having any issues with voice command. 1. The Game window is in Focus (Clicked on) 2. Check windows Audio Settings and make sure the mic is set to your headset. 3. You are on Windows 10 (Voice command uses Windows API). Thanks!
