Hey there, me again! I hope this doesn't come across as annoying, but I genuinely love liveable VR experience games like this, and over the last 2 days, I came up with QUITE a few Ideas that I should would be REALLY great for a 3rd Update, since you're doing the 2nd one as of the time I write this! I'm not a programmer, so take these with a grain of salt, but I think these sound REALLY strong for some Quality of Life features for the game, since walking around is the only major mechanic right now! 

(I hope everyone reading this UPVOTES this if you like these suggestions!)

So I hope these don't sound too bothersome, but here are my Ideas, I put a lot of thought into them!

1: Having Caine float around the Map would be different for the Cast! Since he isn't like them traditionally, maybe he could swap between walkin and floating modes, where he occasionally does unique moves, like doing a loop or something!

2: Putting invisible Hit Boxes behind each characters backs, so that when BOTH player hands enter the zone, the character in question makes a Hugging pose, allowing you to hug your favourite character!

3: Definitely more Areas! Caine's office through an invisble wall at the end of the Bedroom Hallway, OR maybe a Teleporting Red Exit door that swaps between a few different locations every 2 or 3 minutes? It could take the Player to the C&A offices that Pomni went to!

4: Giving the Cast extra poses! Sitting down at certain locations would be really neat, like in the Cafe Stools, their Bedrooms, or on the Couches in the Main lobby (the coloured sofas!)

5: In connection with number 4, being able to pull up a menu when pressing on a character, so you can make them sit down somewhere specific, or stand still so you can bring them together, or make them all sit in the Lobby with you!

6: The Ability to pick up certain Objects like Vases, and Buckets, etc! and in tandem with that:

7 :god please let us put a bucket on Kingers head, it would be so funny please god wh--

8: I saw a few people ask for an AI voice system, but I think that would turn off an overwhelming amount of players! People wouldn't want Generative AI trying to bring these characters to life, because the Writing of the show can't be replicated. So maybe a Voice Clip system, where inside a Characters line of sight, they'll say Hello using clips from the show! And maybe if you stand near them long enough, they'll ask questions that they've asked to other charcters during the show, or say lines you could reasonably reply to them with. (Truly, I just think GenAI would turn WAY over half of your audience off)

9: More Hand Animation in VR! I noticed that both Triggers close all the fingers, so maybe the bottom trigger closes the bottom 2 fingers so that you can make a finger gun pose? All we have now are just open Palms and Fists!

10: Similar to 9, it would be GREAT to give the Player Arms! If you could make the arms a basic white, with no texture, and then add a customise option for Players to change the texture (fabric, metal shine, etc), and colour (red, orange, blue, and so on!) of their Arms! That definitely makes the player feel more complete as an entity in the circus! You can even keep Kingers hand model for the player, since it feels just cartoony enough!

11: CLOSE to 10, every character has a Bedroom, but it would be AMAZING if the PLAYER could have one too! If there was an option to change wallpapers and colours, bed shapes and style, desks, and chaires inside, that would add SO much playtime while people create their own identity in the Circus!

And finally, 12: IF you are capable of realizing most of these goals, PLEASE add an option to Save the Game, so people can save their arm and bedroom styles/colours! 

That's all I have! I thought about this REALLY hard for the last two days, and I REALLY thin meeting these goals would make people SUPER invested in spending more time in this game! Again, super sorry if this was too long, but I hope you'll take ALL of these into deep consideration! Thank you so much for all your hard work!
