I am hoping to get a character model into the build soon to give some scale to the level. It is deceiving how big/small things look without something to gauge it with. We are hoping to get some more small detail items in soon to make it look a bit more 'lived in' instead of the stark appearance it currently has.

That looks very cool indeed

I've been on the Trincomalee quite a few times as she is situated in the very location I used to attend quarterly meetings.

I am very jealous. I do hope to get to travel over to the UK and get to visit all of the great historic ships that are around. In our area we have some replicas that come to visit, but nothing quite like that.


Also, for those that downloaded the game, if you hadn't found it yet you need to turn up your speakers and hit spacebar.... just sayin!

A new version is available in both x86 and x64. It has all new lighting, controller support, updated water, updated textures, a new character model, updated UI, updated settings controls, added terrain, new LOD's on some models. It is the framework for the next set of changes which will include a couple of interactive displays to test the system and possibly VR being enabled with the new controls.

Hello ladies and gents! We have been hard at work on the Unicorn of late and have just released another new version. The largest interesting addition is the ability to use VR! It is not exactly 'smooth' just yet, so be sure to get your settings ironed out BEFORE turning on VR as the gaze controller is just not wanting to work right now.

On another note, we had to remove the Ceto water system and switch to a new one as the developer has stopped working on it. That ate up a good chunk of time but is finally complete. We also updated the image processing stack to be much more efficient and have more amazing graphics!



Lastly, if you do not have Itch.io installed, we HIGHLY recommend it. We are now distributing the Unicorn game on Itch.io with automatic patching through their client.

Have a go at the underwater section and meet our new friends there.


Be sure to try it out and expect quite a few updates coming in the next couple of weeks, including a few model additions and more interesting weather changes.
