About Be

Get away from the stress of life and fuel your soul. Spend time in a beautiful world, perhaps sitting by the water, walking in the forest ... or tickle your creative impulses by building your dream house (or super-villain pad?). Be is all about exploration, building and ... well, just "Be"ing. Theres no work, no time pressures. No nasty surprises. Be is a place where you can relax and do nothing (listen to the birds!) or engage in construction limited only by your imagination. You have full control over the time of day & weather, letting you style the worlds visuals as your mood take you. See amazing sunrises & sunsets, or if you prefer, walk around under moonlight. Want to sit and enjoy a sunset? You can do that. Want to build a mega structure off the side of the map with friends? you can do that too!

Important

•

Right now there are no resource limits, nor limits to building physics. We do plan to make building more challenging in a future update.

•

Saved games may be unloadable in a future update.

Vr Support

Be Works From Both Pc and Also With Vr.

Testing so far has been with the Oculus 2, since that's what we've developed with thus far. Of course we intend to add more headsets in the future (they might work now, but no testing or keybinding testing has been done)
