Migrating to App Lab

Harvest VR
A downloadable game

What are we gonna do

Since the launch of Harvest VR we had all our downloads on Itch. This was because Oculus has a very strict policy for letting games in the Oculus Store. Now with App Lab we have the ability to move back to the original plan and (kinda) release it on the Oculus Store.

This has a lot of positives:

  • Players don't have to enable developer mode.
  • Players don't need a PC to install or update Harvest VR.
  • Updates will go automatic and through Quest.
  • Harvest VR is findable on Quest in Oculus Store if you type the full name.
  • Harvest VR shows up under your normal games library (finally with an image!).

But it also has some negatives for some people:

  • No more installing from Itch.
