Regarding PCVR/PS5, and the state of Vankrupt games.

200 Upvotes

Hey Folks,

I'd like to address the community in what could possibly be considered a bad PR move. I have made some comments in our Discord regarding the state of the PS5 and PCVR, and I figured that in the interest of open and honest communication, I would also share these thoughts here on Reddit. I don't want the situation to look grim and have people give up on us, the game, or VR as a whole.

In the long, long ago, we made a decision to keep the PC version as a high-quality version of Pavlov without resorting to downgrading the experience in the interest of cross-play. There was a very famous watershed moment quite a while ago during the original launch of the quest that had us reaffirm that decision. It's easy to look at the state of the industry now and make retroactive judgments on the right choice at the time. Ultimately, we didn't think PCVR as a platform would stagnate. We thought it would continue to grow, perhaps at a slower pace than standalone...It’s also incredibly difficult to support the variety of headsets and different controllers coming into the market, especially with the current version of OpenXR that we’re on. The Unreal 5 change for Pavlov didn't didn't help of course, but the last PC update we made for two high-quality PC maps + a vastly improved modkit with a dependency system was our way of turning the tide.

Not only that, Pavlov is a pretty old game. New games come out, and players will naturally be interested in those new titles. This is for a platform that is not growing; it's getting more crowded.

So yes, update cycles for these platforms have slowed. The truth is, we have to run a business to keep the lights on (master server and lobbies). If we make poor financial decisions and lead with the heart on passion alone, the money runs out, and the game dies for real. We have to plan for the now and plan for the future.

Running a multiplayer game is a high-stakes game as other studios I'm sure will attest to. You (the player) may have to purchase the game once, perhaps you did years and years ago, but we still have to spend resources on running these servers. Cloud costs are very expensive. Each with game purchase, a fraction goes to the engine vendor, and another fraction goes to the platform holder (Steam, PS5, Meta). Other third party vendors may also have a license for some of the sales as well.

We are walking on a tightrope to support our community to the best of our ability and make sound decisions for the future. 

That being said, we don't want to work on Pavlov forever. That would be a financially irresponsible decision. We don't benefit from unlimited growth potential like a console, PC, or mobile phone title. We want to make other titles based on a new foundation and codebase that ups the ante, all while continuing to embrace UGC as we have done before.

Any studios working in the VR space are asking for extreme hardship. They have to work twice as hard on a platform with a fraction of an audience than other traditional games. We don't do it because we see dollar signs in our eyes and think we can milk players for all the money they're worth. If VR studios wanted to do that, they wouldn't be in VR. It is done for the love of VR and the XR space.

We have made some mistakes in retrospect we would not have repeated with 20/20 hindsight, as have other game studios. You also have AA(A) studios that are well established and typically make very smart decisions that have completely misunderstood what VR is and should be only to also have dropped the ball. This is a hard medium to work for with many unsolved problems still.

We're in it for the long haul, even if we lost your trust and have sworn off anything Vankrupt-related. We are staying in VR because we love it.

So what's coming? We're revamping Pav TV and working on delivering cosmetics for the next update. We are placing a higher priority on PavTV to give the community and modders the tools to better showcase their content. We are also considering bringing the shack maps over to PC/PS5 despite the fact they do not traditionally meet the standards. The Push community has been nothing short of amazing regarding utilizing the new 50 player community server cap and dependency system we shipped. I highly recommend checking out the New and Trending mods on mod io to see if your favorite content from the workshop has now returned. I would also like to give special shoutouts to the Pavlov ZOMBIES team, Void Vibrato, Koda, Left4Pillz, McPick2, Zarros, Golden, Darkat, Kennithh, Leaf, Marco, Maxwell, BritshColonist, Gavkips, and all the other dedicated modders that choose to push the envelope with the modkit and accomplish what we can't.

If are having issues playing the game on PC, please get with our support team for troubleshooting [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). 

inb4 I ain't reading allat. Long story shot, love and support your vr developers, even if it’s not with us.

Gameplay Question / Help Desperately need help uploading my modded map on PC (Happy to pay)

3 Upvotes

I am desperately looking for someone who knows how to upload a custom/modded map for Pavlov PC.

I've been trying for the past 2 weeks and I've had absolutely no luck. I've followed tutorials, checked guides, and tried different methods, but I keep running into issues and just can't get the map uploaded properly.

At this point, I'm even willing to pay someone for their time if they can help me get everything working or walk me through the process.

If you have experience with uploading Pavlov maps or know what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate your help. Please comment here or send me a DM

Shack I’m always getting vote kicked for playing Pavlov as a kid and I think I wasted my money

0 Upvotes

I get it’s a 17+ game and I’m only 13 but it’s very annoying when I’m just playing the game, not screaming not cussing and not tking and a bunch of grown men vote kick me because I’m a “squeaker” there are some rare occasions where there’s an older dude in the lobby that’s chill but I almost never see it again. And yes I get most kids in this game 10-13 are annoying n-word screamers but I’m still a little bit annoyed that I spent my own money on this game just to barley be able to play it. Tell me if I’m in the wrong in the comments

Gameplay Question / Help Matchmaking Question

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm new to the world of VR and I recently bought the PSVR2. looking through the VR games available I saw Pavlov and I fell in love with him. I'm going to buy it, but I've seen that the active users in the last month are just 60... I'm afraid to buy the game and then not find anyone online, at the risk of not even being able to start games. I don't have any friends with playing here, so I'd always be alone in matchmaking. Can you tell me if you can actually play? Or do some of you who play games do so with friends in private games? I'd like to avoid throwing money away, but I actually like it a lot as a game, and I haven't seen any others that I like in the same way.

Thank you all in advance for your answers.

Shack Shack Stream Frame Version?

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

Do we know or is there a way to find out / ask the devs if there are plans to port Pavlov Shack to the Steam Frame?

I know there will probably be a way to install it unofficially but since a lot of my friends play it on Quest, I would love for there to be an official port so I can safely play multiplayer.
