Traditionally, walking in whatever space is around you while playing a VR game could lead to bumping into walls and other mishaps.&nbsp;<em>Lone Echo<\/em>, though, is set in zero gravity and allows you to move around a space station by hand, grabbing rails and pushing off bulkheads.

Ready At Dawn is developing future games aside from&nbsp;<em>Lone Echo II<\/em>, but they&rsquo;re not divulging details just yet. Oculus&rsquo;s statement suggests that Ready At Dawn will be focusing on the Oculus Quest platform moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2016-10-06-lone-echo.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2016-10-06-lone-echo.html<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Engadget<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Engadget<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4001-logo-952.png\" alt=\"\">Ready At Dawn will continue to develop VR games, according to Oculus.
