The Gallery: Oculus Rift Adventure Game KICKSTARTER LIVE!

Post by **Apotheosis** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:36 pm

Yes +1 for Brantlew's Red Rovr support! Imagine it, red rovr, rift, hydra, and an empty flat ten acre section alone in the countryside. Death by hyper excitement.

Post by **jestersdream** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:38 pm

I'm backing this tomorrow!! Can't wait for this awesome rift tailored game. Good luck!

Post by **Drewbdoo** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 1:42 pm

Backing on my next paycheck tomorrow

Everything in that video made me so much more excited for this than I already was.

It's nice to see what Denny really looks like. I swear, his avatar picture on here just makes me think of Keifer Sutherland.

Post by **SiggiG** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 2:05 pm

Looks great, I'm backing this!

Edit: Put down $30 for early access!

Post by **RABID** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:01 pm

10%

Long way to go, but I really hope they make it!

Post by **virror** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:21 pm

We will help make sure they make a few of the stretch goals as well : D

Post by **Pingles** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:25 pm

When GDC kicks in I think a lot of people will discover it. Especially if it gets Press as the first Made-for-Oculus game.

Post by **phillypro** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:48 pm

youll see my donation in about 30 minutes

i just gotta decide 100 even or 150...the perks kinda level out after that...i wish those were a little better...character customization caughy my eye tho...can we also determine skin color?.

oh my god...we HAVE to get to 750k...for coop play...that would be so cool

Post by **mahler** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:15 pm

I feel silly for not recognizing it sooner.

The world with floating checkerboard platforms and stairs seems to be a clear reference to Dactyl Nightmare .

Just backed this a moment ago!

This game looks very cool man, perfect game for Oculus Rift! Are you able to say at this time if the demo this August will include full Oculus Rift support? Regardless I'm sold and you have my money

Post by **Bishop51** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 5:18 pm

Again, thanks for the support everyone! You guys are great!

We were a bit surprised by that ourselves!

Customization could include skin tone changes but for right now we'll be focusing on a more basic implementation (clothing item colors, logos) unless we exceed a certain level of funding.

We would absolutely LOVE to bring co-op into the mix. It was a long-time "we've got to do this!" feature but it requires a dedicated approach. The best we can do is focus on the single player and hope we reach the stretch to co-op to make it happen.

LOL. Its funny, the original inspiration was M.C. Escher drawings. I think the Dactyl Nightmare designers probably had a similar basis for inspiration. Its totally appropriate though isn't it?!

Oh you bet! That is the key area of hardware focus.

Thanks again all!

Backed! Really looking forward to this!

Post by **Mart** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 5:30 pm

Backed.

Post by **bamdastard** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:02 pm

Just opted for the $25 backing.

Goodluck and Cheers!

Post by **mscoder610** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:04 pm

Backed this morning as well. Looks like the Kickstarter is off to a pretty solid start.

Post by **hidden2u** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:19 pm

Backed at the $30 level.
I've been following your updates and love the game concept (perfect for the Rift). Try to get an alpha demo out as soon as you can because I'm sure people will be starving to have demos they can use to show the rift to their friends.
Good luck!

Post by **lossofmercy** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:20 pm

Good luck dude, I don't want to be a downer but I hope you get more funding soon, I put in my vote.

Post by **lossofmercy** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:25 pm

My only question is that have you built a HMD or are you waiting for your devkit?

Post by **MrGreen** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:33 pm

I'm in!

Post by **Cernos** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:52 pm

pledged 30 usd!

Post by **MrGreen** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:02 pm

Someone needs to NeoGAF this!

Post by **adoral84** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 7:08 pm

Looking forward to this, I'm in for the early beta.

Post by **Valez** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:02 pm

Very good Kickstarter page. Already backed it and I hope this will be a huge success for you.

An idea for an additional world:
Madness-themed based on paintings from Hieronymus Bosch. This could be a very intriguing (and terrifying/disturbing) experience in VR.
A good counter-part would be a sanity/logic world, mainly based on geometric figures and maybe some fractals and recursive stuff.

Hope you reach your very modest Kicksarter goal soon.

I'd do it, but my threads always plummet off the front page.

Post by **norgoth** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:27 pm

Another idea : try to integrate Lovecraft in your project and your KS page. Lovecraft fan base is huge I think

Post by **cybereality** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:35 pm

I'm in for $100.

Post by **eqzitara1** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:59 pm

$30
Looking forward to it.

Post by **Tirregius** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 10:54 pm

in for $25 - Looks great. Loved Myst and You guys sound passionate. Good Luck!

Post by **Zoide** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:26 am

Tools common to the modern day Urban Explorer are available to you as an aid in overcoming some of the obstacles in your path. Such tools include: a notepad for dynamically charting your location, taking notes and interacting with context sensitive items, a spraycan for tagging areas of interest, a headlamp for much needed light, glowsticks for when the light fails, and a rope for traversing the untraversable.

What about a digital camera?

That is an interesting game idea. There could be puzzles in one area of the game which have solutions elsewhere.
Where in previous adventure games you'd get an item in your inventory with symbols or text that you have to use later in the game.
The camera could now be a tool (besides the notepad) to keep track of suspicious symbols on walls or other markings needed to solve a puzzle later.
Perhaps a beautiful painting with a hidden meaning that you'd like to store for later reference, without having to walk all the way back.
Or statues holding or wearing certain objects or looking in a certain direction... all details which you can write down, but it's much easier to take a picture.

Man, watching the video on your site really get's me excited for the game. I wish there was some way I could contribute, but i've pretty much got 3 dollars to my name right now lol.

I could Paypal you $2, the we could go halves in The Watcher reward level. You can even have first pick of the desktop wallpaper.

Post by **IGameArt** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:39 am

That would be great, unfortunately the three dollars I have is government issued and can only be spent on food items

If you haven't contacted RockPaparShotgun already you should. They have a weekly kickstarter article and have a lot of readers. Contact info for devs.
