This is without a doubt the best melee combat I've used on the VIVE so far. I would love to see this developed further (will be donating as soon as I fix up some funds)
Had a ton of fun with this. Got stuck trying to beat the shielded enemy with the bow and arrow. Couldnt seem to take him down and had to stop because i keep getting killed
awesome game!!! Great job! Would love to see a points base system or if it kept track of how many rounds you can survive without dying. Different enemies with different abilities would be great too
Awesome game and really addictive, it reminds me of an old game called Die By The Sword from 1998, you had to actually swing your mouse from side to side to swing your sword, the controls were super weird but it was still fun, your game is much easier to use:
If you could do something similar to this (but obviously in first person) that is a mix between Onward and Die By The Sword with the same goofy humor you've put into Gorn, I could see it being really successful. I think Gorn will still be popular either way though.
Constructive criticism here because I want this to end up being a great and successful game
First off, the chopping off of limbs and slicing the heads in half or just shaving the top off depending on the sword swing is awesome! I also liked swinging the morningstar around and getting momentum and hearing the whooshing sounds increase as I got it going.
What needs fixing - while physics based movement is awesome (I have no idea how you got that working) it seems to trip up the enemies more than it lets them walk. I saw a bunch of times they could barely walk because they were literally tripping over their own legs.
Picking up the sword needs to be fixed, it has a weird angle when you grab it. may be best to have the angle it is in your hand correspond to its and your hands orientation when you pick it up.
Getting the physics to work is a long,slow, incremental process. They are always going to suck a little, but hopefully they can be competent enough to be a challenge and I can leverage the incompetence for humor. There are a few games out there where people are trying similar things, I might do a blog post sometime explaining the methods but it's it is really quite simple.
I haven't really seen a locomotion method I like, so I'm more interested in getting the game to work without locomotion. I might experiment with something like home improvement's blur sprint method.
Might I recommend the "throw ball" teleportation like budget cuts. That seems to have the best balancing for emergency movement. Insta-click-port feels like cheating, and the same would go for blur sprinting (also one of the sickening ones)

Thanks, appreciate it! No need to donate I'm already capable of working on this full time, just buy when its on steam :)
Appreciate the openess, I'll be picking it up for sure
Anywhere I can follow news about the game?
Best is to follow me on twiiter @rrza
Though I do need to come up with a better plan..
Node playing this ;),
cant get it to work with htc vive

Die by the sword is definitely an influence! VSIM ftw!

What did you use to make this game? Unity?
Thanks for the feedback!

This is made in Unity.
This is really one of the most immersive things iv done in my vive so far. However i woudl realy like to try moving around in the arena.
Raihtza, any way you could thrown in some basic locomotions? Would love to see how it plays with touchpad and dash teleport.

I'd rather have no locomotion than teleportation I think.
Fair enough, I enjoy not having ingame locomotion and rather relying on my own floorspace (2.3m x 1.8m for me) and plays really well with that.
I can see issues with people who don't have that, but 2x2 seems to be the standard
Also adds a good element of danger and urgency by not being able to run away
Ha, awesome video, thanks for playing!
Thank You for making it! :) It sure was fun! :D
Created an account just to say you've made an amazingly fun and visceral game. Please keep going with Gorn!
Thanks!
Your game is amazing and I want you to make more of it.
Thanks! I will!
