JARPUG alpha 0.3 is out! AND there's now a non-VR demo!




Alpha 0.3 is out, and it sure took a while! I've also released a non-VR test demo that ANYONE can test out, regardless of whether they've purchased JARPUG. Am I going to officially release a non-VR version of JARPUG? It could work, but I'd love your input! You can check out the non-VR JARPUG demo here!

Also, the VR demo has been updated to have the same amount of content as the alpha 0.3! This is a much better point to end a demo at. It shows off the VR controls better and gets across more of the setting. The next alpha update will again make it so there's more content in the purchased game. Buying the game now, IN THE PAST, or even IN THE FUUUTUUURE will ensure that you get those updates.

I wasn't expecting a Christmas Carol hook there.
