Dev from Rolling Line looking for VR users to test one of his games

As the title says, the dev behind the game Rolling Line was (at a time) looking for testers for the second game he made: ‘Echo Grotto‘. Since it’s a VR game, he’s asking for anyone that has VR to try it out for him. Ones that do are going to be given a free key to the
game.
Being a fan of the dev’s work (and not wanting to turn down free VR games), I decided it would be best to sign up to help him (and got a key to the game). But it was unlike helping Acid Claws. Most of the bug fixing was focused on getting WMR to work with the game (since the latest SteamVR update). I even learned a few things about binding controllers and SteamVR’s Developer mode.
There was one time it was looking pretty grim as I had somehow ‘lost’ the default bindings to the game (and he was thinking of scrapping WMR support altogether).. until I found out I had to launch the game while in Developer mode to show the bindings! And after that breakthrough, everything went fantastic.

And at the end, I almost wish I could had been given a discount towards some DLC to Rolling Line (or something). But in reality, helping an Inde dev get WMR support working for their game is all the payment I want.
I’m glad I was there to help him. Feels like an honor (and I literally said this to him).
