Lots of news regarding plans for the final version of Primordian. After recently completing all levels for the entire game, Parts 1, 2 and 3 to bring it to a complete state and plan for the major update (not released yet). Then playing through many times with wishlist notes and many pages of feedback from the excellent thoughts on the forum and reviews so far from everyone playing in mind. I was more than excited to be close to a final version.

Physics, lighting, terrain, Audio, VR components etc etc all stuck in the past. It was the only way forward to be able to deliver a more advanced gameplay and visuals and bring in new techniques for 2019. This is always risky and a major undertaking. So with many backups safely tucked away the update process was started. It was indeed rough! The game fell down some stairs, was run over by a passing truck, washed down a drain pipe, floated out to sea in a huge storm and eventually came to rest on a remote beach, unconscious and gasping for air. All that remained was the Levels for the game, sound, characters and weapons. *end dramatic music* Being rebuilt currently from the ground up for the super version of Primordian is, UI, Main Player, Combat, NPC's, Skills, VFX, Weapons, Ambient Creatures, Save Systems, Lighting, additional modes and basically everything. New features will be added such add subtitles in many languages, English, German, Russian, French and Italian to start with.

Maybe even some secret additions that can't be talked about yet. The game now has 0 errors, 0 bugs and runs very fast. So, To be it's best, I personally think the game should be an evolving thing that will just continue to evolve as VR technology evolves, to keep up, experiment, but also try to push some of the limits if possible into the future of new technology around the corner. Somehow along the way of the sheer amount of work I had forgotten about this idea and it was not until completing the game story that I had a chance to sit back and really assess it as a whole. Then figured, since it's taken this long, it really needs to be done perfectly, even if that takes a little longer. Although I would love nothing more than for it to be complete tomorrow.

What I was seeing of the game once all put together was not close enough to perfect, so apologies for the extended delay in bringing out the final version but I believe once everyone finally gets a chance to play it from the beginning again you will see it was very well worth while. So what does this all mean? when will it be done, how much will things change. The honest answer is, not sure just yet, and a lot:) Thank you everyone! J
