We are so happy to announce this most recent update to Ayahuasca, just in time for the winter sale!
For a while now we’ve been striving to deliver an update on the biggest feedback we’ve received from the community : loading time.

For context, one of the biggest technical feats of the Ayahuasca experience is that the whole trip is completely seamless. There are no fades from world A to world B — you smoothly transition from the real world to the visionary world in a continuous visual way. To do this, originally, we laid the whole ride at the beginning in order for it to be rendered seamlessly. If not, there would be slow downs, stuttering, which would put you out of the experience.
The feedback we received was that this was time consuming and long, and because the default loading screen is very neutral, people thought it was crashing and didn’t work.

Through creative developing, we’re excited to push this update where we’ve optimised the loading time. In a regular game allowed to have a loading screen and it slows down. In VR, whenever you start loading something, performance drops (like anything) things can look jittery, so where we put loading is critical.

Now, when you start the game, the bulk of the loading starts right away, and in the meantime, a blurred maloca provides a message letting you know the ayahuasca is brewing.
Now you can enjoy your fully uninterrupted psychedelic ride.
