• game status - 10 July 2018

  Hi all, I haven't been working on this game at all lately, instead trying to focus back on regular job, family and other things. I do check steam for messages to the board and apologize where I haven't been able to create fixes for VR or otherwise. This mainly relates to my limited testing setup with only the Vive setup, VR software updates I haven't been able to keep up with and not being able to reproduce the errors players might be getting with their setup. I am glad to hear where the game is working properly in 2D or VR to help know it is not broken for everyone or where people want to post fixes or suggestions. I understand where the games movement or handling is too slow or 'floaty' for many players tastes, this is mostly a design/personal choice on my part to allow for scanning the environment and decision making while mid-air. Players can increase their horizontal velocity faste…

• version 1.83 more level types, art prints, tutorial video - 19 December 2017

  For this version, in 'climb' game mode, the jumping blocks will use the same random textures and lighting as found in 'glide' mode for more visual variety. If you want the old plain 'dirt' blocks, choose the 'fixed daytime' option in the menu and restart the level. For 'glide' mode, added some short tutorial notes and a video link for starting players. Levels also randomly place art prints with point score cubes beneath them. Added 1 new music track.

• version 1.79 more visual variety, pickups - 7 December 2017

  For 'glide' mode Added more top/side texture maps as well as geometry types for level building(more visual variety to the levels). Lighting/fog color is random between levels also, to get normal daylight, choose 'fixed daylight' from the pause menu. Added a 7 minute leaderboard for posting top score for 7 minutes of playing(same level or across levels). Added 'score'(gold) and 'boost'(blue) pickups. Added 'named' seed to get to a level by some entered name. From pause menu, the player chooses 'Name Seed' to activate the entry field, enters any string like 'bobcat' and then 'goto name' to go to the level seed generated from the name.

• version 1.78 endless glide mode/score - 4 December 2017

  In 'glide' game mode, added the ability to fly through a 'portal'(looks like a large slow-spinning red ball) to the next random level. After flying through a portal, the player score will be sent to the 'GlideHigh_201712' leaderboard with scoring ending when the player crashes. So to set a score for one level, don't fly through any portals - to set a score across multiple levels, keep flying through portals. Also added a beginning basic 'choice' menu at the game start between 'Climb' and 'Glide' - the other modes(crystal hunt and explore) are available also, just from the same pause menu as earlier.

• version 1.76 glide game reworked, new content - 30 November 2017

  The game mode 'glide' (choose from the pause menu/F1/gamepad 'start' key) has been reworked with new flight mechanics and procedurally placed rocks(different for each level) for the player to glide as near as possible without crashing to score points on the way down. Close to the bottom of the level, the HUD will display 'Round Over' to indicate scoring has ended. The first 3 levels have glide scores submitted to steam leaderboards, greater levels than that are local best score. Gliding works in VR also and supports head free-look, have tested with Vive and gamepad. Remember to start the game with the Vive controllers on and then you can turn them off if using a gamepad/keyboard to control. VR display HUD elements still need adjusting. The gamepad 'Y' button or keyboard F6 key will toggle on/off a VR HUD display of score,etc. In VR I tend to find the HUD distracting so I just toggle on/…

• climbtime going back to freely available - 8 September 2017

  After testing the sales response over the steam summer sale, I've decided to return to making Climbtime freely available after this coming September 18(Valve requests a week notice before any price changes). I've considered adding additional level story and music content and a few new enemy types, but off-work/family time has been limited lately. Thanks to those who enjoy playing the game who provide helpful feedback and reviews. Thanks garcia_1968

• version 1.75 remove enemy/fire option - 9 May 2017

  For players looking for a more peaceful experience or don't like the additional difficulty of being shot at by enemies, the toggle option 'show enemy/fire' has been added to the pause menu bottom left hand side. Setting unchecked(off) removes turrets and incoming missiles from the game. The setting is saved to a config file so will be remembered between game sessions.
