Hi all!<\/p>\n
James here, writing from San Francisco as we get ready for the first day of Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2017! Hard to believe that it\u2019s only been a year since we demoed an Alpha-state incarnation of Raw Data<\/i> at GDC 2016, where it got its first major mainstream press coverage and won the Tom\u2019s Guide<\/i> \u201cBest VR Game\u201d accolade. GDC is a very important show for us, and this year, it\u2019s even better because our Raw Data<\/i> focus is all about you, the community.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because it\u2019s about to get a lot bigger. Today you\u2019ll see some news of the upcoming Update 0.6, set to launch next month. Along with a lot of amazing new content—a Saija ability rework, new Boss abilities, and a devastating new Data Chamber mission—we\u2019re also launching the official Oculus Touch build of Raw Data<\/i> on Oculus Home.<\/p>\n
This is not simply a port—we have completely re-engineered and optimized the Raw Data <\/i>experience specifically for Oculus Touch, including support for two-camera 180\u00b0 tracData<\/i> at GDC 2016, where it got its first major mainstream press coverage and won the Tom\u2019s Guide<\/i> \u201cBest VR Game\u201d accolade.

This is not simply a port—we have completely re-engineered and optimized the Raw Data <\/i>experience specifically for Oculus Touch, including support for two-camera 180\u00b0 tracking for gamers with limited-size playspaces, plus three-camera mode.<\/p>\n
Along with that, Raw Data <\/i>will gain cross-platform functionality<\/p>\n
king for gamers with limited-size playspaces, plus three-camera mode.<\/p>\n
Along with that, Raw Data <\/i>will gain cross-platform functionality, allowing Vive users on Steam to play and socialize with Oculus Home users. Cross-platform has been an important goal for Survios since the beginning because we believe that VR must be a platform-agnostic social experience, and we\u2019re stoked to be able to bring two badass platform communities together to murder tons of evil robots.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m thrilled to personally welcome Oculus gamers into the Raw Data <\/i>community. You guys are amazing, and we can\u2019t wait to grow together with you. Stay tuned for lots more exciting content to come on both sides of the headset!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
James & Survios team<\/p>\n
