This update improves the visuals in the campaign, makes the gameplay more difficult at places, adds some new enemies, some achievements, adds direct Oculus SDK support, and fixes a bunch of bugs and UI problems. For those who like to create art, it is now possible to take screenshots in HDRI, saved in OpenEXR format (enabled via options -> video -> miscellaneous, screenshots taken using f2 key).

Changelog:

• Steam Achievements
• HUD rendering improvements
• Performance improvements, for VR and otherwise
• Explains how to aim if you keep aiming wrong
• Extra levels available via --debug=1 launch option
• Fixed an issue with ATI cards when adding music files
• Visual variety improvements in the campaign, gameplay improvements
• Fixed unreliable weapon toggle using controller
• Improvements to FPS stability in Insane
• New laser impact sound
• Added crash log uploader
• 3D audio improvements
• More chill out levels
• Direct Oculus SDK support when launching with --vr_api=1
• Audio what-you-hear capture fixes
• Controller sensitivity set with 2 separate sliders for horizontal and vertical
• Option to boost contrast of dark colours (especially useful on Oculus Rift)
• Option to save HDRI screenshots in .exr format when taking a screenshot using F2 key (miscellaneous video options)

Also, if you have HTC Vive you can now get a little taste of the the work-in-progress (currently, very unfinished!) roomscale gameplay by adding --debug=1 to the launch options and trying out the experimental roomscale level. Note: that level is in god mode (you can't be killed) and may be disorientating/nauseating - the floor texutre is absent, You're standing on a perfectly black square. I am still working on adapting enemies for roomscale; as they are they're too difficult to dodge. Note, this roomscale mode is not yet actually playable as a game and still needs a LOT of work.
