Sandbox implies there was something to do. It was more of a gallery than anything. Anyways, I unsubbed so I have no idea what the update was.
Maybe Sandbox was too loaded but I mean just literally a simple environment where all you can do is look at some shit
some guy put in there only to use your imagination and thats about it.
Fair enough, I almost want to say this game got less features because you used to be able to at least influence parts of the character's bodies but now that's also disabled in the latest one I've played.
When? Anytime I saw it wasn't possible.
All the good games even the VR ones lack limb influencinging.
Only some of them could be influenced but it was quickly removed and by the last one nothing could be moved at all. I have no idea what's in the newest update. I personally started following eros again since they've been updating the game and adding to it frequently.

Honestly, I have no idea. Every update was months apart and actually didn't add anything in the grand scheme of things.
Does anyone have a link to the latest build?
There was a new build released on the 9th. Don't know what the march one had

Reminders:
Be sure to add the game to Steam as a "non-steam game" in your library, or the controls may not work!
Pull back on the stick to teleport!
The only buttons on the main menu which work at this time are the ones to change your size. The others are just placeholders for a future update.
The game is VR only. There is no desktop mode in the game at this time, and I don't know if or when I will add one.

I will just say this, both VR and 2d controls can be done competently, for 2d controls, i'd direct you to illusion games, they give you a lot of control over a lot of things during scenes with simple mouse and keyboard, and it's not complicated, and i dont own vr so idk what counts as good controls there. But implementing both shouldn't be a problem. they made the 2d controls in the early 2000s when illusion games was in its infancy with a few people. If they could do it back then, then so can people now with far more improved tools. Will it take more time? yes. Will it take as much time as it did in the early 2000s to set up a similar control scheme? hell no. In fact i'd argue that it'd still take less time to set up both vr and 2d controls for a game than it did back then for just the 2d controls.

I know my 1080 Ti isn't exactly what you would call "top of the line" for VR anymore.
But if a even more detailed game with a lot more happening on screen runs at 144hz on very high settings in VR...
The why does a cheaper looking thing with next to nothing in it run like hot garbage even on lower than standard settings?

For a game that appears to be about 90% purchased assets glued together, there seems to be very little progress being made. Looking at one of the debut videos from almost a year ago (characters in idle poses scattered around a house) compared to the one released recently (characters in idle poses scattered around a house, but now some of their body parts have floppy dynamic bones), I can't really see where this is going.

I thought I made my point pretty clear. I never said that it couldn't be done (I even brought up modern examples of where it was done, and why I personally don't feel it captures the same experience), I said that they were radically different and that not everything translates cleanly between the two. You're bringing up examples of games that were built from the ground up as a desktop experience, so obviously they have a workable flatscreen experience.
Translating VR to 2D tends to require a lot of thought, as you're migrating two fully 3D controllers that can be moved independently into a keyboard and mouse. If we're talking about a lone developer that translates to a fair amount of design and development, coupled with them trying to flesh out the core experience at the same time, with a ton of testing on top of all that.
And again: wanking with a VR controller still feels awkward, but it still feels better than doing it with a mouse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
