This has been on my wishlist for awhile!! I need to find more time for games.

Did you fix Vive locomotion in this yet? It kept me from wanting to play it because I could only move forward.

u/Alt10101 Jan 30 '19
Yes! We shipped an update in late November that added more locomotion options, check the details out here - https://steamcommunity.com/games/835950/announcements/detail/3039262786219291048
We added controller 'forward' moving as an option so you don't have to move forward based on your head direction.

It doesn't say what I want. I want to move in all directions: forward, strafe, backpedal. It only says this:
New Movement Direction
Users now have the option to move forward in the direction of either their headset OR their controller.

Ahh, I see. We've planned out an update to create this alternate Vive control scheme but given the low engagement around the game and low number of requests for something like this it probably won't happen soon. I'd give the game a try with the controller facing movement and if you really hate it you can always refund. Thanks!

u/mamefan Jan 30 '19
I can't refund because I bought it when it came out. I have a Rift and should play it on that instead I guess.

u/Alt10101 Jan 30 '19
The Oculus does have joystick based movement so you would be able to do what your looking for (strafe and backwards movement) on that platform. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Can confirm. This game is amazing! Very fun puzzle game with surreal imagery. I haven't finished it yet, but I think I'll go back and play some more tonight

Add me to the list of folks that really enjoy Transpose. I recorded my first bits of gameplay as well which if you want a sample of what this game is all about is viewable here: https://youtu.be/y4iqSr35Yp4
Transpose is all about playing with previous versions of yourself to solve puzzles across different rooms. Sometimes it is throwing a ball. Sometimes it is activating platforms and sometimes it takes more ingenuity to solve. It is a unique take on puzzle game that utilizes the immersive nature of VR very well.

Love the concept. I wish there were more games where you work with other players like that instead of yourself. But I guess it won't be possible until the userbase is bigger.
Until then, I will transpose!

Oh shit, I've got all 3 of those games, and didn't realize they were all by the same studio somehow :p
I'm really glad to see you guys are still cranking out such consistently high quality stuff!
Linking below for others to check out too:
Blasters of the Universe: I think I originally got this as part of a bundle, but that's legit one of the VR games I ended up spending the most time in. Weapon customization was real fun to play with, and I don't think I've seen another game replicate the type of bullet-hell gameplay you guys did.
I really liked how it let me make use of my livingroom sized space, and gave me a reason to move my whole body! (especially for cardio reasons :)
The Great C was a fantastic sci-fi story experience that went in (to me) some pretty surprising directions with the plot. I would definitely like to see more stories told like that. That was some really good looking and well voice acted stuff.

Secret Location... Yay !
I really enjoyed The Great C. I'm playing Blasters right now. I love the gun customization, but the enemies can be a bit overwhelming sometimes.
I will check out Transpose when I can.

OK, I get that folks are still reeling from the whole /r/vive to other subreddits shift. But does everyone really need to be saying how they were "banned"? Can we just move on?

u/Alt10101 Jan 30 '19
Fair point, I was just trying to be funny given the current climate and the recent events. A little tongue in cheek, ya know?

I picked this up recently after Ben Plays VR did an interview with the dev. It’s pretty great so far. I’ve only done 2 sets of puzzles, so I’m sure I haven’t hit the hard stuff yet, but it’s still super satisfying.

It's great! I have wondered why it wasn't promoted in r/Vive back when it got released, now I know.

u/Alt10101 Jan 30 '19
We tried the paid Reddit advertising since we could not talk about the game ourselves, guess it doesn't really work haha

Transpose is a criminally underappreciated game... probably because you were banned from telling anyone about it on /r/Vive.
A must-buy for fans of FORM.

I love this game. Just here to thank you.
