  • Fixed 36 issues.

  • In Side-by-Side mode, users can now physically interact with buttons.
  • Updated to OVR Plugin 1.40.0
  • Improved memory management: Tour Guide data is now dynamically loaded at most tour stops, per-frame allocations reduced by 95%, and garbage collection disabled during the times where it would be easily noticed in the form of stale/dropped frames (such as while traveling between stops, while in EVA mode, etc).
  • English language font updated.
  • Desktop mode now includes bloom, and ability to zoom onto the Tour Guide character.
  • And lots more.

  • When using floor-level tracking and have selected "not sensitive to motion", the tour cockpit's frame is now set to default to appearing "While Moving" (instead of Always On).
  • Additional command-line arguments, mainly for arcade/installation support.  Scroll to the bottom of the post for a complete list.

v2.5.3 (May 14, 2019):
  • The Sun's corona is now animated.  Same goes for the large stars.
  • Tour Guide customization is now enabled. Anyone can now record themselves in VR (both motion capture, and microphone capture for voice) to create new Tour Guide presentations (that can be shared with others if you wish). To get started, check the Modding Info area inside the app (green options menu from tour -> Modding Info). It's easy once you know what to do, but perhaps daunting to get started, so I will publish videos in the near future to walk through the process.
  • Additional command-line arguments, mainly for arcade/installation
    support.  Scroll to the bottom of the post for a complete list.
  • Monitor: No longer defaults to "sensitive to motion".

v2.5.2 (May 4, 2019):
  • Tour Guide now has English subtitles (for all 62 minutes of tour content content currently available).
  • While at the Tour Map, user may press the R key to (re)start the tour, or the C key to continue it.  (This was requested to make demoing for others easier)
  • Modding/customization has been enabled.  (If you're interested in customizing text, translations, subtitles, alternate planet maps, or planet labels, you may now do so.  Look in the app's "modding info" area to get started.)

  • NEW: Tour Map

  • Additional Mars tour stop, with more info, photos, and a second Tour Guide presentation.
  • Automatically defaults the Sitting vs Standing setting based on your height in the "Get Ready" screen, but you can still change this if desired.
  • Improved Earth & Moon appearance.

  • Improved controller appearance.
  • After holding planets in your hands, the planet now smoothly goes back to where it was.

Update #4 (May 5, 2017):

  • Facelifts for many Solar System bodies, orbit lines, and the end of the tour.
----

COMMAND-LINE ARGS:
  • --maximize-spectator-window (Force fullscreen spectator window)
  • --unlock-full-tour-map (Players can go to any tour stop they want without having been there before)
  • --start-at-beginning
  • --reset-all-preferences (Ensure that the experience starts fresh every time in case users fiddled with settings)
  • --skip-menus (Skip all the menu screens and start tour immediately)
  • --go-directly-to-tourmap (This skips past the initial options
    and title menu areas to the Tour Map. Note that the --skip-menus
    argument will override this.)
  • --disable-guide-options
  • --disable-guide-editor-mode
  • --tour-guide-on-by-default (Ensures that the Tour Guide will start talking automatically when starting the tour, can still be turned off by user if they wish)
  • --tour-guide-off-by-default (Ensures that the Tour Guide does not start talking automatically when starting the tour, can still be turned on by the user if they wish)
  • --buttons-are-click-activated (Ensures that buttons require a point-and-click in order to activate)
  • --buttons-are-timer-activated (Ensures that buttons require only gazing/pointing for 1 second in order to activate)
  • --default-to-floor-level-tracking (Forces floor-level tracking for standing/roomscale instead of automatically detecting seated vs standing)
  • --skip-calibration-step (Works
    great when paired with '--default-to-floor-level-tracking' to speed up
    the flow of getting into the experience, but assumes that the
    system-level play space is properly configured.)
  • --default-to-short-tour
  • --default-to-full-tour
  • --comfort-mode-on-by-default
  • --comfort-mode-off-by-default

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like the new stuff!

Hope the Quest build isn't too far away on the horizon, it's one of the best experiences to demo to people and Quest is the demoing headset... cross-buy would be a bonus too 😉

Thanks for that DaftnDirect!  And yes, if it comes to Quest, I'll absolutely opt for cross-buy.

Wie weit ist die Quest-Version? Und wo wäre diese Beta zu finden?
Kann ich einfach die Rift-Version kaufen?

Yeah, I'd love to see a Quest version.

The Quest version is now available on the Store!  The Rift version and the Quest version are basically the same, and cross-buy has been enabled.

The top post of this thread has been updated with the changelog from the last couple of version updates, including the one from today that takes this title out of Early Access.

Merry Questmas!  :smile:

I had the original on Rift and bought Plus on Steam (yep, should have stuck with Oculus!). Just purchased Plus on Quest, don't mind paying again, Superb app to show people on Quest.

Thanks for your purchase and support, you really didn't have to do that!  Appreciated all the same.

It's indeed tough picking a platform to buy stuff on sometimes lol.  Mismatched sale dates, sale on one but not the other, new headsets every few months!  I specifically timed leaving early access on PC version with the Quest release so that potential new users could make a more informed decision (oh if I buy the Rift version then I get the Quest one too etc).
