ugh that is the worst. i really need to take my cat for his checkup also, your five year relationship disappearing the day you ship your video game sucks

It probably hasn't, we were only down for a few hours. Gog just came up! http://www.gog.com/gamecard/influx

Will do.

Thanks guys http://www.influxgame.com/'>oh my god the game is out.

Yessum. It just won't do the stereo rendering thing. And you can't look up and down because that is for the Rift to do.

-It's awesome, obviously -You do go over some sweet jumps -Not really, the rollercoaster is very different what with all the smooth, super fast turns and extremely steep drops. This is still cool though (in before the internet hates it)

I played some UT3 with the Rift - since it's built into UDK and therefore has full support in the Oculus build. I was surprised, the third person view when feigning death or driving a vehicle wasn't disorienting at all. It worked fine. Also, crossposted from the Oculus forums: Controls: Mostly self-explanatory. Left/right turns left/right. Forward and back push you a little bit in that direction. Press T to restart the level (it's quite short but it has a TWIST ENDING). Download link! Also, taking this opportunity to plug the other game we're soon to release, InFlux, which needs your vote on Steam Greenlight. It won't support the Rift at launch but we'll likely patch it in. Hmmm, quotes are weird on here. That was meant to all be one quote.

The result of you guys talking about snowboarding games in here lead to me and my pal Jorn making an Oculus Rift game this evening. Coming soon! (tomorrow morning because I'm leaving it to upload overnight). it has a twist ending

Yessss. Thank you. It should be out pretty soon hopefully!

New trailer for my game, you guys!

I never played these games. Could you link a video that shows what you dug about them? I might want to try a thing with UDK.

It's not a "can I handle this jelly" thing, though I thought it was going to be. It feels less likely to cause motion sickness than a lot of more tame things like just running around HL2. It actually feels like a rollercoaster, in a surprising way. On the sudden drop part, I actually get that feeling like when you're in an elevator going down, you know the one. I was really impressed me in how it made me feel, I felt like I had to hold on to my desk while I was doing it the first time. I held on to the desk like it was that bar you'd hold onto on an actual rollercoaster. Even though there was obviously none of the wind in my hair or anything. It's interesting how much of that sensation is apparently based on sight. It also does the thing real rollercoasters do where there's a slow buildup as your cart climbs a hill that builds anticipation for the drop. It works incredibly well. I mean, unfortunately, no-one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself.

I have access to one of these now and it's super cool. Direct your Questions Here. my Initial Thoughts from another forum: Since then I've got my VR legs a lot more and don't get motion sick easily at all. I took the Epic Citadel rollercoaster yesterday three or four times just for kicks.

They are careful not to spoil, but I guess if you want to know literally nothing about the game that's probably a good idea

That person reminds me of something and I really have no idea what. I am plugging again: a guy made a video/semi-interview thing with me about the long-lost second level of my HL2 mod Shotgun Sunrise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ighuXVES4SU

I think it's pretty clear that (as of the time of his post) he doesn't understand what was wrong about what he did, but he does understand that it was wrong and is taking steps to broaden his understanding so that he can be not dumb in the future. I think that is impressive of him considering his track record.

Man, that shit sucks. So you're an animator then? Can I see some of your sweet animatrons?

I found a picture of myself from 2009 on the internet. I'm the one on the right.

I played through Metal Slug 1 and 2 on PC, and on the PC version you just press a button to put in another "coin". It kind of ruins the game. Even though I love Metal Slug.

Ugh. I've officially joined the ranks of the Idle Thumbs Dreamers. In the dream I guess I was listening to the podcast while playing Doom 2. Doom 2 filled my whole vision. Someone representing some other podcast challenged the Idle Thumbs crew to some kind of musical music-off. Remo seemed disgusted by the idea but before he knew it he was doing it anyway. They called it a duet but everyone was singing. When I woke up I remembered the song, but I don't anymore. It was actually really good.

True, hadn't thought of that. Bit sad, my mother's handwriting is insane and insanely fast, I kind of wish I could do it. Also Steve just tweeted "excited for when indies move on to emulating the PS1 era. God that 32-bit texture style/rendering" and i was all "oh lawd that is sort of what i am doing". I crave the Gone Home team's approval

I hadn't really thought about it, but the handwriting of the older people I know is waaaaay more distinctive than that of anyone my age I'm aware of. I wonder if that just comes with time or we all just have uninteresting handwriting

I would probably just cast a bunch of friends as "hand actors"

I feel way less good about the Pax I'm going to now

You should toooooooootally let me play it. Whereabouts are you guys based, btw?
