Tarzan VR 將陸續自各大平台下架。開發團隊 Fun Train 近日宣布，已開始將《Tarzan VR》自 Meta Quest 與 Steam 平台下架，PlayStation 平台也將跟進。作為結束營運的一部分，團隊同步調降《Tarzan Trilogy Edition（Deluxe）》售價至 US$4.99，優惠將持續至本月底，這也將是遊戲的最後購買機會。
Fun Train 表示，下架決策主要基於兩項因素。首先是 市場環境的變化。團隊指出，儘管希望能續約授權並讓作品繼續提供給新玩家，但在目前 VR 市場規模與表現下，要長期維持既有授權作品於多平台上架已變得愈加困難。其次則是 整體產業壓力。近期 VR 產業出現多起工作室關閉與裁員事件，包括 Meta 相關的人事調整，也反映出整體市場正承受不小壓力，使得該 IP 的續約在商業上不再可行。
團隊強調，此次下架僅影響《Tarzan VR》，不會波及 Fun Train 旗下其他作品。已購買遊戲的玩家權益不受影響，遊戲將繼續保留在玩家的遊戲庫中，並可正常遊玩。
在體驗層面，Fun Train 特別指出，《Tarzan VR》在 PC VR 平台上仍展現出最佳表現，並肯定最初參與製作的 Stonepunk Studios 團隊在視覺表現與整體玩法上的成果。即便進入下架階段，團隊仍認為該作在技術與美術層面具備代表性。
此外，Fun Train 也公開感謝 Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. 對專案的信任與支持，讓經典角色 Tarzan 能夠以 VR 形式呈現。團隊表示，未來若有機會，仍希望再次合作。
對於希望持續支持 Fun Train 的玩家，團隊也推薦關注目前仍持續營運中的作品，包括 《BlackGate》 與 《Jungle Man》，兩款遊戲目前皆於 Meta Quest 平台上架，並持續更新中。
《Tarzan VR》的下架反映出授權型 VR 作品在現階段市場環境下所面臨的現實挑戰，也顯示獨立工作室在維持長期營運與 IP 成本之間的艱難取捨。
Could you briefly introduce yourself or your team, and your role in the development of Void Jump VR? My team consists of two people (me and my girlfriend). I led the technical development and conceptualized the core idea for Void Jump VR, while my girlfriend handled all artistic aspects of the game. Together, we collaborated closely to bring the vision to life.
What originally inspired the creation of Void Jump VR, and how did this project first take shape?Initially, I set out to create a simple game for children, but I soon realized the concept could appeal to players of all ages. As the project evolved, I introduced additional mechanics (such as a cube that allows players to check whether the next platform is safe) and designed more engaging worlds and levels. This iterative process helped the game grow into a richer and more immersive experience.
Void Jump VR is built around a very simple mechanic – jumping – yet it creates strong psychological pressure. What was the core concept or vision behind this design choice? The idea behind Void Jump VR was to take a simple action – jumping – and make the player feel scared. In the absence of enemies, the tension comes from the player’s own perception.
During development, did you intentionally prioritize psychological experience over mechanical complexity? Why was this balance important to you? It was important to maintain balance. Keeping the systems simple ensured that nothing distracted from the fear, tension and immersion – that balance was important, because the player’s own mind becomes the main “enemy,” which is far more impactful than external challenges.
From a design perspective, why did you choose “jumping” as the sole core interaction rather than adding additional mechanics or systems? From a design perspective, jumping was chosen as the sole core interaction because it’s universally understood and physically intuitive in VR. Adding extra mechanics would dilute the tension and shift focus away from the psychological response to height and risk. By keeping the interaction extremely simple, players stay fully immersed in the environment and their own reaction to it – which is exactly where the core experience lives.
VR is particularly effective at conveying height and spatial awareness. How did VR technology influence the way you designed fear, hesitation, and distance in Void Jump VR? VR naturally conveys height, scale, and depth, I learned physical cues: looking down a long drop, estimating the distance of a platform, or feeling your body tense before a jump. This let me design challenges around distance and perception rather than complicated game systems.
The game avoids traditional horror elements such as monsters or jump scares. Was this a deliberate decision to let fear emerge purely from space and consequence? Yes, that was deliberate. I wanted fear to come from scale, and jump rather than from monsters. Void Jump VR is about what happens inside the player’s own mind. When you remove scripted scares, the fear becomes more personal – it’s driven by your perception of height, risk, and the possibility of falling. That creates a quieter but more kind of tension.
What kinds of reactions from players left the strongest impression on your team during playtesting? We liked that people were enjoying and feeling scared at the same time. Players freeze at the edge of a platform, lean their bodies forward to “check” the gap, or laugh nervously before jumping. Some players refused to jump. Those moments showed that the experience was bypassing logic and hitting their instincts. It was a strong confirmation that a simple mechanic could trigger real tension through VR alone.
What is your favorite VR or MR game, and what makes it special to you? One of my favorite VR titles is Superhot VR. It takes a very simple core rule – time moves when you move – and transforms it into something that feels completely native to VR. What makes it special to me is how clean the design is: minimal inputs, minimal UI, but huge presence and tension. It proves that VR doesn’t need a dozen mechanics to feel deep – the right mechanic, used well, can carry the whole experience.
Could you share any upcoming features, new projects, or future plans – within what can be publicly revealed? Lastly, is there a message you’d like to leave with our readers? All I can say for now is that it will be a military simulator. I’d like readers to know that Void Jump VR is really about embracing the simple joys and fears that VR can create. Sometimes, the most intense experiences come not from complicated systems or monsters, but from how your mind and body react to space and risk. I hope players take a moment to feel that tension, challenge themselves, and maybe even laugh at how something as simple as a jump can feel so big.
第一次進入 All On Board! 的時候，其實沒有太多「正在玩一款遊戲」的感覺，反而更像是被帶進一個熟悉卻又有點陌生的場景：一張桌子、幾副牌、棋盤、骰子，還有坐在對面的朋友。遊戲一開始會有基本的教學，引導玩家認識操作與互動方式，但整體節奏並不急，沒有那種被系統牽著走的壓迫感，很快就能把注意力放回桌面本身。
All On Board! 本身提供混合實境（MR）風格的遊玩方式，桌面與物件可以自然地融入現實空間中。實際體驗時，很少會一直意識到自己是在 VR 或 MR 裡，而是更專注於桌上的狀態、對手的動作，以及彼此之間的互動。這樣的呈現方式，讓整體感覺更接近實體桌遊，而不是在操作一套複雜的數位系統。
All On Board! 目前更像是一個「桌遊平台」，而不是主打一款單一內容的作品。內建的經典遊戲包含西洋棋、圍棋以及多種玩法，每一款都有對應的規則說明與教學輔助。
這款作品也有明顯的使用情境限制。目前並沒有 AI 對手，意味著如果只是想一個人隨時進來玩幾局，All On Board! 並不是那種即開即玩的選擇。多數時候仍需要透過 Discord 或 Telegram 主動找人開桌。對平常就有固定桌遊團的玩家來說，這或許不是太大的問題，但對偏好單機體驗的玩家而言，門檻確實會高一些。
本次音樂包共收錄 11 首歌曲，涵蓋 Lady Gaga 職業生涯中不同時期的重要作品，包括《Bad Romance》、《Poker Face》、《Just Dance》、《Born This Way》、《Telephone》與《Applause》等全球知名單曲，同時也加入《Bloody Mary》、《Disease》，以及最新曲目《The Dead Dance》。曲目選擇橫跨流行、舞曲與較暗色調的音樂風格，為關卡節奏與身體動作設計提供更多表現空間。
