DEMEO UPDATE FEBRUARY 24

On February 24, Demeo will add a new social environment where you can meet other players, customize your avatar, and play mini-games—including the homage arcade game Hauntlet, designed by Doom co-creator and Resolution Games Senior Creative Director Tom Hall. A new PC Edition of the game is set to launch in Early Access on Steam on April 7. And the team plans to ship two more adventure modules in 2022.

Well that was quick! Sorry I couldn't do another, but those first levels can take a good old while at times, and i didn't want to start something I couldn't finish.

Who's joining us for movie night tomorrow!?

ShiWarrior · 31 Jan 2022 at 12:21

the PVP mode will certainly add more playability to the game, that should be great fun

I can see it going something like this. RugbyRaggs is the Rogue and Shiwarrior is the guy with the beard

If we join an Oculus party first tonight I will give you the Big Screen room code there. Just remembered anyone can view the forum, so I want to limit the code to the actual hangout group.
Unless anyone has a better plan to distribute the code - PMs via Oculus?

I was thinking about this earlier it might be worth just setting up a small discord for chat/arranging? Not sure what peoples thoughts on that are? As much as im up for the movie, im not sure ill make tonight now but im going to try my best! Life seems to be getting in the way of everything at the moment.

Think an oculus party makes most sense to me. I'll probably join that in standalone (since the chat seems to go a bit weird in pcvr), get the code, then run bigscreen via pcvr.

any difference between big screen on PC/Quest ?

ShiWarrior · 31 Jan 2022 at 16:13

click on the oculus app, then click search

then i get this, I cant search for anything "I" want to search for ?

ps I've never searched for any of those

PC supports desktop streaming without using a separate streamer app, plus you can have NPC audience members in your theatre to add more of a crowd.

melmac · 31 Jan 2022 at 17:44

I can only watch on the Quest 2. Haven't got a PC at the moment.

@melmac will have to get the app

Maybe try applabs? It might be in applabs, so you'd need to write the name exactly as it appears for a search to show it. I'd already had it on my headset so just installed from there, but maybe in the headset, rather than the phone, you can find it?

The search is at the top of that screen on your phone.

Those searches that show up are the most popular searches at the moment.
