Son of Nor adding Rift support

[Mystify]

Son of Nor has announced Rift support. Its not a stretch goal, though the game wasn't designed for it specifically, but the game seems to be a good fit in general

it is 56k short of its goal with 5 days left, so its looking kinda shakey.

Only 25 hours left to back Son of Nor for the Oculus Rift on Kickstarter:

Son of Nor promises full Oculus Rift support. And I trust them because:
* It was designed from the start to be immersive (even before they decided on Rift support)
* It deliberately has no HUD or UI on screen
* It's not a stretch goal
* It supports the Emotiv Epoc, and includes it in some reward tiers

"Immersion

The game is being designed in a way to have as little HUD and UI as possible. There will be no on-screen icons you have to click to trigger magic, or life bars that show how many hit points a player has left. As much information as possible is delivered using natural interaction, visual effects, animation and sound."

So what are you waiting for? Go and back it NOW!

I really don't know if this one will make it or not. It's 82% of the way there, with 23 hours to go, but they seem to be making good progress, so it could go either way. I hope it succeeds.

I'm kind of sceptical using both the rift + epoc + headphones (+Hydra ? ) at the same times.
But it would be cool if it works

[Evenios]

ill see if it reaches the funding near the end and then i think ill back it for sure. 36 bucks for closed beta + final game doesnt seem like a bad deal at all

[2EyeGuy]

If you back it, and it doesn't get funded, then you get your money back. So you might as well back it now.

looks like they just made it a couple of minutes ago

Congrats to them on a successful kickstarter
The idea seems pretty cool.

Congrats. I like the idea of utilizing EPOC to cast spells etc. Always thought that aiming and killing enemies in COD with your mind is pretty silly but now I can see this can be another great immersive tool when we're in the magic world. Something out of a dream. Interesting to see how it plays out.

That was a close kickstarter. This game may get me to get an emotiv headset, we shall see.

This was a close call. I'm glad it worked out for them.

It's better to miss a target by $20K than $5K.

Be careful about getting an Emotiv headset. They try to make most of their money from developers, so you can't develop for one unless you buy the $500 version. And even then, you are only allowed to sell it through Emotiv's online store, and you don't have access to the raw EEG values.

That is a large part of why I haven't gotten one already.
