Description of game from Readme: Oculus VR Jam 2013
"EpicDragon VR"
EpicDragon VR puts the player on the back of a dragon, soaring the skies of a strange fantasy world. Fly fast to catch the Sacred Eggs before the Gods of Darkness and their Demonic Moon make the Sun dissapear!
The game controls are based on head movements only. Fly using the Oculus to catch the Eggs in a race against the clock. Use the Special Eggs to rack up combos, they give far more time and far more points! Hold on for as long as you can and get the best score!

Setup: - unzip EpicDragonVR-AghartaStudio.zip - install OpenAL libraries (installer included) - launch EpicDragonVR.exe

Notes: - the enclosing directory must have write persmissions for the game to save your progress - EpicDragonVR.SAV contains your highscores - EpicDragonVR.ini can be edited to switch the music off

This is a great demo my kids love it until it gets to the dark section and the ghosts come out :D .

Music and art directions are perfect for this game and the sense of moment is great. This Demo is in my Top 5

I recommend trying it. Really fun straight out of box experience.

I'm really fond of games that require no additional setup other than Rift and Epic Dragon is just that. There's still no collision, so you can fly through obstacles, but I still got pretty hooked up. And yes fantasy colorful artwork works perfect and makes good use of available resolution. You don't really feel like you can't see things in the distance :)

My high score is 81.000 at the moment. :3D
Once polished this should definitely be added to Oculus VR Share. Keep up good work Agharta Studio!

It's awesome. Frankly, it's the only Rift game I play for "game funz" and not just for experiencing VR.
My HS is 999,500... so close to a million! :x

Aaaaaaaaculus demo was great too, but the full game is too expensive imo.

If you can setup the High Score through a server database that would be great. It shouldn't be too difficult and it will keep people coming back for more.

I don't always accept challenges... but when I do, I try till I win ;)

Look at the playtime... that game could use some pause mode - I missed a call, trying to blindly find my phone while keeping the combo going (what would I say anyway... "sorry, but I'm riding a dragon right now"?) :mrgreen:

Woa, nice!

I think I will have to mess a bit with the difficulty settings to let people like you respond to their phonecalls... :p

Good job !

I discovered this game just today and was so excited that I made a short gameplay video of the second flight. Great game, many thanks for that!

Finally got time to try this out and loved it. Would really like to see this fleshed out as a finished game. Something along the lines of Panzer Dragoon Orta. However I wonder if my stomach would recoil even more with collision than without.
