Hey everyone!

As some of you know I have been dividing my time between this game and my other project: Pimax VR Experience for the past two months.

There are more updates on the way for Board Game VR. In this version the main change includes the redesign of the Main Menu.

What's new

New: Visual redesign of the Main Menu.

• New: Quick settings in menu: AI difficaulty, table height, grab button in VR (grip or trigger).
  
• New: Library Items in menu: Games, scenes, environments.
  
• New: Audio settings in menu: sound effects, music and master volumes.
  
• New: Display settings (monitor) in main menu: Resolution, Fullscreen mode, Vertical Sync, Refresh rate, Frame rate limit.
  
• Update: Core: Teleportation and snap turn (still using the old input system) in VR mode.
  
• Update: Core: Lighting and render quality.
  
• Update: Core: Settings are now human readable (stored as json file)
  
• Update: VFX: Main menu sound effects.
  
• Fix: Core: Unable to pick up checker pieces with the pinch gesture.
  
• Fix: SFX: Sometimes custom user music does not automatically start on game startup
  

Known issues

• Core: Chess AI takes between 3 to 10 seconds when making decisions. This is too long in compare to other chess games available on the market. Chess is only available in multiplayer, until the AI is fully improved.
  
• Core: The score system is disabled. This will be published once it is decoupled from Steamworks.
  
• Core: The hand models and interactions are disabled in this build (will enable them again once the new input system and custom interactions are fully implemented).
  
• Multiplayer: Players cannot create private rooms. This feature is disabled in the current release due to bugs. It will be released once the bugs are fixed.
  
• Multiplayer: In online multiplayer, the interactable room objects might disappear when the room host leaves the room.
  
• SFX: When interacting with checker pieces and boards the SFX is not audiable!
  
• VFX: Backgammon board triangles are not correctly positioned.
  
• VFX: Guide poster does not show the Tic-Tac-Toe rules (side note: this might change in the near future with the upcoming tutorial content).
