Minor minor UI fixes. Happy holidays!

Hello, and happy holidays, Inspector!
We’ve got a whole lot of news for you all for this new Callisto update.

Waypoints!
Sometimes, it may be hard to remember the layout of the Hotel Callisto, and players might need help keeping track of their current objectives. To help remedy that, we’ve created a waypoint system that works alongside the rest of the interactable UI elements you see in the game.

General Updates

• UI-related assets interactivity has been improved, including menus.
  
• bugs that prevented players from continuing/redoing puzzles have been fixed.
  
• Exteriors have been refined to eliminate visibility issues.
  
• Improved interactions with regards to various grabbable aspects.
  
• Objects you grab are no longer immediately grabbable again despite being far out of range.
  
• More objects are now grabbable.
  
• The grab points for various objects have been improved, with unique hand positions in VR.
  
• Object clipping and graphical issues have been fixed
  
• Post-processing has been significantly improved, using ACES. Other issues with post processing effects not triggering have been resolved.
  
• There’s been more content added to the epilogue playable teaser! It’s also re-visitable now if you save, end the game, and re-trigger the ending sequence on returning to the game.

Hello, Inspector. We are happy to announce the newest update to The Callisto!

Features

• Spanish language subtitle implementation! We have included localized subtitles for Spanish.
• Teleportation for ladders improved - If you're having trouble seeing them, make sure your VR settings don't have you in Seated Mode!

Adjustments

• Fixed sudden sound triggers from a few pesky interactibles. Drawers and Lockers were the biggest offenders.
• Adjusted inputs for controls in VR, Scan is A, Hack is B/on desktop, Scan is the R key, Middle Mouse is Hack.
• Significant lighting overhauls- should make the rooms feel better lit with less visual bugs.
• Minor static prop position adjustments.
• Some objects have had their grab positions adjusted to be more natural.
• Drawers can be opened in desktop mode. Point at the triangular icons on them and left-click.

Bugfixes

• Drawers and lockers no longer spontaneously open.
• Solved several small softlock problems.
• Replaced a wall in the computer room that was causing occlusion issues.

We are happy to announce some great updates that have come out this weekend.

Features

• Subtitle localization: German: We have been working with translators to localize our game. The first step in this is a part of this update: The ability to have the subtitles for our game in German. This is the first of several localization updates we will be releasing over the next couple of months.
  
• Improved Desktop: While still experimental, the desktop mode has been significantly improved. it is now possible to complete all of the main storyline's content (so far) in desktop mode.
  
• Lighting improvements: We have improved the lighting and reflections to be smoother, cleaner, and more optimal. You should see these changes pretty much immediately!

Bugs

• Many small bug fixes have been made.
  
• Some trigger and state issues have been fixed.
  
• Some teleport bugs have been fixed.

This small patch fixes some issues with the experimental desktop mode and makes the experience cleaner and more stable.

Hello, Inspectors. We're really excited about this update for one big reason: Experimental desktop support! But that's not all: the exteriors of the hotel have gotten a bit of a visual upgrade, too.

Changes and improvements:

• Jumping has been removed. This is because of inconsistency in controls, a distinct lack of jumping-related puzzles, and the fact that jumping was causing increased levels of motion sickness in players unused to VR.
• Lighting, relfections, and textures have been fixed in some places to improve appearance.
• Environment details have been adjusted, mainly the outside of the Callisto.

Experimental Features:

The Big One: We've added (early) desktop support!
Controls:

• WASD for movement
• Q/E for rotation
• CTRL and ALT for raising/lowering height
• Shift for sprint
• Left click for using RIT scanner and clicking menu items
• Right click to grab items
• Middle mouse button to hack conduits
• ESC or TAB for menu.

As a note: This feature is limited while we test it. Some early puzzles have added solutions for desktop mode. For the time being, some of the puzzles cannot be done in desktop (like the computer room drone puzzle), and ladders cannot be navigated. These functionalities will be added and improved on very soon in later updates.

Bugfixes

• Missing geometry has been fixed.
• Issues with reflections have been corrected.
• Subtitles/Audio that were not triggering have been reintegrated.
• The walls of the Callisto are now made of 50% recycled plastic.
• FRED behavior has been improved on the exteriors.
• A bug causing the call icon to remain active after a conversation has ended has been fixed.

Hey all. This is a tiny patch that fixes an unexpected bug created by our last update.

99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, pull one down, patch it around, 1,294 bugs in the code...

October Update!

Changes and improvements

• Movement has been optimized and smoothed. If you are having issues with jumping, make sure to hit the "Calibrate" button in the options.
• Lighting has been fixed in some places to improve appearance.
• Several environments have been completely overhauled. Check out the new VIP Lobby and Promenade.
• Changes have been made to grabbing objectS: you may see some objects have more realistic grab points and finger positioning.
• Some of our shaders have been updated and optimized. This should make things like glass doors look better when rendered.
• Minor tweaks have been made for Oculus Touch controls.
• REGAC has been given 50% more coffee.
• Additional content including additional puzzles and quests have been added.
• Additional dialogue has been added.

Bugfixes

• A bug that was preventing the player from petting FRED has been fixed.
• Some movement bugs have been fixed.
• Issues with specularity have had some improvements.
• Occlusion has been improved.
• A bug was reported where the planet Jupiter was disappearing in the sky. We weren't able to reproduce this one, so...apocalypse averted, I guess.
• A bug with realtime lights being occluded in one eye and not the other has been fixed.
• A bug with player movement options not saving has been fixed.
• A bug which prevented the plug puzzle from working has been fixed.

Just a small update: The Callisto is now Cold Start: The Callisto!

Why? two reasons:

* To reduce confusion with other similarly-named games
* To connect us back to the original tabletop setting, Cold Start[www.drivethrurpg.com]
* To let you know that The Callisto is only the beginning.

Major things on the horizon.
