Week 19: London Edition
Welcome to the 9th edition of the Sunday Report! Hope you all had a great weekend. Exciting times ahead!
It's going to be a short one this time around, since I'm quite tired from my weekend in London. Shame I'm heading back home tomorrow, had a great time! Hopefully I'll get to see some of you guys next time I'm here!
Asobi: Remote Play
As you may know from the latest release (version 1.3.1), the focus is currently on performance optimisations and bug fixes. Plan is to release some more performance enhancements with version 1.3.2, which should come available at the end of week 19.
For those still having issues connecting via Internet Remote Play: I haven't forgotten you: I have thought of a couple of methods to reach parity with the official PS Remote Play app. So the goal would be that if it works there it should work for Asobi.
After that I'll start adding more new features to the app. I've got quite some exciting stuff coming!
Cloud Play
Big changes for PS Now and PS Cloud are incoming!
I have planned out a way to unify the PS Now and PS Cloud libraries. This means that soon you won't have to switch between those two modes. I also managed to get one step close to get full parity with the PS Portal library (actually just one step to go). So if a game is available there, it should also show on Asobi with that update
PS Now support will also get some more love, so more people will be able to connect to the servers that support those games.
Next to that there's a couple of under the hood enhancements coming that are already in place with the Android version, which will make connecting blazing fast.
Ports
I expect to release an update next week for the Android version which will feature most of the Asobi core experience. Once that one's done, I'll focus on getting it ready for a full release. If you run into any issues on the Android version then please let me know!
The coming week is going to be a little busy for me, which means that I won't open up the testing yet for the Steam and Meta quest versions just yet. That said, they were approved for closed testing. I'm going to see if I can make the play tests available in week 20.
The Future
There's still a lot to do for Asobi to get it into the state I've envisioned for it. I just hope you all will like what's still to come. Split screen Remote Play, new view modes, screen filters, custom controls, macros to stuff never before seen or thought possible.
Thanks again for all your support and for coming along for the ride! 🙌
Keep your ideas, feedback and kind words coming! It's well received and appreciated! 🙇♂️
Game on! 🔥🔥🔥
