I've had this game since Christmas and it is still probably my favorite VR. I know you were shooting to get this into early access by around February, is that still a realistic goal? Super excited for more content to come to this game
Love this game! Despite only being a demo it's brilliant. The over the top cartoon levels of gore and dismemberment are hilarious.
It would be nice to have a stabby sword like a gladius as well as a slashy one. If it makes things too easy then maybe shorten it like a dagger. Dual wielding swords is probably my favourite mode.
An axe could also be interesting but I dont know how you'd make it different. Maybe it gets stuck in the enemy's head.
Lastly, and this is a bit silly, but after a decapitation. Could the headless body run around flailing like a chicken for a bit.. assuming its still got legs. Or the detached head could have eyes that follow you.. possibly with animated eyebrows doing an angry face (\/) or surprised face (/\) darting left and right in a "wtf?!" kind of way.
Cant wait til it's released - a definite buy for me!
Right above the comments section, there is a button labeled, "Download". Then, say that you want to save and open folder. There should be two things in that folder, Gorn (Application) and Gorn Data. Put those two in your desktop and click the (I think it is Unity) logo that says GORN under it. Your game should start from there.
About 1/3 of my play area is behind the back wall in the game. Is there any way to adjust where the play area is in the arena? I just want to scoot it forward some.
Just wanted to say that even months later GORN is still one of my all-time favourites. My business was down at a local LAN in Perth, WA and doing some live mixed-reality demo's and I thought I'd throw GORN on to see how it fared with a static camera.
Works great and I can't wait to get some better quality lighting so we can make the player less transparent, will for sure be doing more in the future. Thanks for the awesome experience.
That's great! The build you are using is also quite a bit older than the current build, you might want to redownload for better physics/graphics/combat/everything :)
PLEASE add enemies with bows! Besides this the only problem with the game is you can't skip the tutorial and this game makes me so sweaty after. HTC Vives should have cooling systems.
Had the vive since christmas and this is still my go-to "fun" game. Love the ideas for progression, any thoughts of a "style" points type system for more elegant takedowns? Oh and yes I also broke a light fitting playing :-)
An option to show room boundaries or the room center on the ground would be nice, like a chalk outline kind of thing. I was having really great fun, but I punched a wall too hard and now I only have one controller =P a couple other people seem to have broken things getting too into this game as well, I think some visual indicator like that might help =)
Hm, apparently I did. It's never been needed in anything else, as so few games I've played require a quick punching or stabbing motion, so the grid becoming visible when you get close to the edge was good enough, so I guess I forgot it was a thing. Welp. Expensive lesson learned =P
First thing first, love the game and secondly I know people say the grabbing is cheap but I would love for you to keep it in the game maybe you could make an option in an options for people to chose if they want to use it. I personally find it fun to pick up my foes and beat them sometimes not all the time but sometime
Hellow~ owo I have spent a good amount of time on Gorn, and I was pretty curious about how it's development is going right now, I'm definitely looking forward it's final release >w<
I LOVE sling shotting the enemies in your game! When the physics go nuts as you try to pull them apart with both hands, they turn into weapons themselves. Please don't change a thing in that department. Sooooooooo much fun!
This game looks amazing and wish i could play it but i cant since i don't have VR. Raithza in the future do you think the game will be able to be played with VR OR Keyboard and mouse? If not then is there a way to change the input of the game? VR is too expensive for me and this game looks really fun so i hope you can help.
There are LOTS of games where you fight with a sword and mouse non-VR! Have you tried Die By The Sword or Chivalry? There are also VR arcades popping up all over the place, if there's one nearby you can ask them to install gorn :)
In my opinion, this demo is better than most games available, ive played it numerous times and probably have the most time logged on it than any other VR game. It has surprisingly high replayability the same thing pretty much never happens.
I've been playing this game for months and i've touched into vr developement. I was wondering if you could ever release the script so people could mod it. Either way, this is my favorite vr game EVER!
I'd suggest some kind of limit on grabbing the enemies. It's fun but completely ruins any challange. Maybe a stamina or the squirm loose or the enemies become enraged. Holding a guy and punching him in the face is great but using him as a weapon is too effective right now.
Actually now that I think about it just make enemies kick enemies away and not damage them. Then you still have fun and can use/throw enemies but have to really use weapons to fight.
Also even though it's a demo please implement a level select to at least beaten levels or just all levels. I played for quite a while and want to finish but don't want to have to leave it running.
I think i have a good idea of making the experiense mutch better!
at first lets start with the arena: I think that u should make it more like a colosseum or something. and i think that u should make it able to move because it feels more like irl then.
gladiators: it feels better if u made a lobby where u can chose weapons and it would be great to be able to save from where u were.
character customization: I think it would be better if u could choose talents and abilities before the game starts, because then u dont have to make a glove that can lift gladiators because then u can make it a talent to lift and throw them in the begining. u should also make a ability that makes it easy to throw stuff like axes and spears and other weapons.
Weapons: axe, rope web that u can throw at enemies that stunns them and trap them. The experiense would be even more fun with a whip!
P.S Love your game!
i have even more things that could be improved, we could discuss them if u want.
So I made an account just to post this comment. I have already bought this game once now, and it was quite a long time ago, and within that time my computer broke and my hard drive got erased. Bit it's okay, because I plan to get the game again on Christmas 2016. But there is one problem that I encountered when I first downloaded the game, How do I play it?I have been hearing about how people have been playing it on Steam but I fail to see it in the store. So I am guessing this is where I get it. But what do I do so I can play it with Steam Vr?
First of all, you don't have to pay to install this game. just click the "No thanks, just bring me to the downloads" at the top of the menu, and whenever you run the game it runs it through steam.
Why thank you very much! Now that you have provided my the information on how to play it, the game now actually opens! Also, I haven't played it yet though because I'm replying to your very helpful comment. It's such a great thing to know that the internet has such a helpful community like this. So thank you for actually READING my comment, I thought nobody would read it because it would take years. I also thank you for even caring to reply to me, I mean you are just looking to download this game, and then you decide to look at the comments and actually help a person like me. So thank you VERY much, I'm now going to play the game, and god bless you.
I have to thank you for this game. I make VR videos at YouTube.com/oVRdose, and I have to tell you this is by far my favorite VR game so far. It's just a tech demo, but the way this game feels is more satisfying than almost any other game I've ever played. The ability to grab somebody by the back of the head and pummel their face in until it's unrecognizable may sound incredibly sadistic but it's so so so satisfying!
You sir are a legend and I'm very excited for the steam release of this game. I'll have to play around with it more to make sure this feature isn't already in there, but I suggest making a one-handed version of the spear that can be thrown. I know you can currently throw the two-handed spear, but I mean Like maybe in the same vein as the way the arrows are laid across the ground, there could be a couple of javelins which are rigid instead of floppy. Then again maybe this is redundant. That's just a thought that crossed my mind many times the last time I played.
Fist weapons would be fun as well! Like brass knuckles with big spikes. Just some ideas
And this isn't really a big deal but maybe you could change the faces of some of the opponents or maybe even give some of them hair. Just some ideas to give this game more recognizable personality than it already has! The more and more polished this thing gets the more exciting it becomes! Just to be clear I already love what you have and I would pay for it as is without any further updates.
The damage mechanics in this game are my favorite in any video games so far and I am so excited to see how you update this further and expand what is already an amazing experience. I would love to be able to rip their limbs off with my bare hands
I feel like this game has more potential than any other VR game out there so far as far as fun and replayability.
The hammer is my favorite weapon, and I would love to see more enormous weapons that have a large impact. The sledgehammer nature of the hammer feels so good! I really feel like I am smashing people with a giant hammer despite the floppiness and weightlessness. If you ever want any free promotional help in anyway feel free to contact me as I will gladly spread the word. The more people know about games like this one, the more people will get Vives faster, The better off the entire VR community will be.
You have created something timeless here and the best way to show VR to people who have never seen it. I put my seven-year-old brother in this game and he played for two straight hours. That's longer than I've ever seen anybody play in a VR headset. I'm going to record him playing and upload that video, he was actually pretty bad ass for seven year old!
Keep up the good work my friend, I will be back here often checking for updates as I will be regularly covering this game.
Check out my newest video and subscribe if you like my style!
Hey, thanks for all the kind words. Many of those suggestions are either planned or already in the works to some capacity. Hopefully I will have a Early Access version on Steam sometime early next year. And I'd love to see the video of your little brother playing!
Well I will be sure to keep checking back here for updates. I am considering making another video today! I really think the damage is my favorite element of this game so far, as I have never been so satisfied punching someone in a video game before. It's also worth noting that this game runs surprisingly well when compared to other more well known VR titles out there.
Again I really appreciate everything you're doing. You are helping my YouTube channel grow and hooking me with my new favorite VR game at the same time. Excited for the next update!
So I made an account just to post this comment. I just want to let you know this is currently my favorite Vive game. And it's only a tech demo, which makes me giddy thinking about how a fully developed version would be like.
One thing I'd love to see implemented is instead of having randomized weapons and enemies, I'd love to be able to choose instead. My favorite weapons in the game are the sword and spear, so I'd love to use primarily those weapons. I'd also like to fight enemies without armor, not because I want to take the easy route, but because of how satisfying it is to slice up enemies with the sword.
Anyway, I absolutely love this game, jank and all. Keep up the good work yo :)
I can't stop playing this. Seriously. If you do something about being able to grab the enemies and basically cheat your way through, at least have an option to keep it. Though cheap, it's incredibly satisfying. But seriously. This is the most satisfying VR experience I've had yet, and I've had a lot of them.
Also, is there any way to skip the "beginner" waves every time I start up the game? I play this a lot and would rather just jump into the action.
And if possible, could you add an option to choose specific weapons to play with? I like the random selection, but an option to play that way as well would be lots of fun.

Hey raithza,
I've had this game since Christmas and it is still probably my favorite VR. I know you were shooting to get this into early access by around February, is that still a realistic goal? Super excited for more content to come to this game
Love this game! Despite only being a demo it's brilliant. The over the top cartoon levels of gore and dismemberment are hilarious.
It would be nice to have a stabby sword like a gladius as well as a slashy one. If it makes things too easy then maybe shorten it like a dagger. Dual wielding swords is probably my favourite mode.
An axe could also be interesting but I dont know how you'd make it different. Maybe it gets stuck in the enemy's head.
Lastly, and this is a bit silly, but after a decapitation. Could the headless body run around flailing like a chicken for a bit.. assuming its still got legs. Or the detached head could have eyes that follow you.. possibly with animated eyebrows doing an angry face (\/) or surprised face (/\) darting left and right in a "wtf?!" kind of way.
Cant wait til it's released - a definite buy for me!
i completely forgot to check for an update to this game, nice changes so far. Keep up the good work and pls add limb dismemberment by bare hands
when was the latest up date
THROWING STUFF IN GORN!
im having issue loading the game, do i download straight through the vive? Im confused on how to get it to work, since there are no instructions :S
Right above the comments section, there is a button labeled, "Download". Then, say that you want to save and open folder. There should be two things in that folder, Gorn (Application) and Gorn Data. Put those two in your desktop and click the (I think it is Unity) logo that says GORN under it. Your game should start from there.
Hey I was wonding how to change the reolution, its stuck at a low one
I don't think you can, this is just a demo, ;)
Hey Raithza!
About 1/3 of my play area is behind the back wall in the game. Is there any way to adjust where the play area is in the arena? I just want to scoot it forward some.
Hi raithza
Just wanted to say that even months later GORN is still one of my all-time favourites. My business was down at a local LAN in Perth, WA and doing some live mixed-reality demo's and I thought I'd throw GORN on to see how it fared with a static camera.
Works great and I can't wait to get some better quality lighting so we can make the player less transparent, will for sure be doing more in the future. Thanks for the awesome experience.

PLEASE add enemies with bows! Besides this the only problem with the game is you can't skip the tutorial and this game makes me so sweaty after. HTC Vives should have cooling systems.
I just had this pop into my head, are you planning on having Trading Cards? This is for steam.
Had the vive since christmas and this is still my go-to "fun" game. Love the ideas for progression, any thoughts of a "style" points type system for more elegant takedowns? Oh and yes I also broke a light fitting playing :-)
Yep, there are style points in the game now!
An option to show room boundaries or the room center on the ground would be nice, like a chalk outline kind of thing. I was having really great fun, but I punched a wall too hard and now I only have one controller =P a couple other people seem to have broken things getting too into this game as well, I think some visual indicator like that might help =)
That's a default option in SteamVR ya dingus, you didn't really turn it off did you?
Hm, apparently I did. It's never been needed in anything else, as so few games I've played require a quick punching or stabbing motion, so the grid becoming visible when you get close to the edge was good enough, so I guess I forgot it was a thing. Welp. Expensive lesson learned =P
hey, does anybody know a way i could replicate the gore in this game in unreal engine?
#hardwork #dedication
BEST ANSWER EVER xDDDDDD
there are loads of non vr swordfighting games on pc, have you tried chivalry or die by the sword?
Do you have a release date for this game...an will the game be purchasable through Steam?
no release date yet but hopefully the game will be on early access on Steam in february!
I will be the first to buy it!
Can I play with oculus touch? I have seen people on youtube playing it
yeah the game works just fine with the touch controllers since thats what i have been using and I have had not problems on my end
First thing first, love the game and secondly I know people say the grabbing is cheap but I would love for you to keep it in the game maybe you could make an option in an options for people to chose if they want to use it. I personally find it fun to pick up my foes and beat them sometimes not all the time but sometime
I've changed it so you can only grab then when they're stunned. Seems to be fine - no more easy outs just grabbing the nearest dude!
You can press the trackpad buttons to skip dialogue.
Hellow~ owo I have spent a good amount of time on Gorn, and I was pretty curious about how it's development is going right now, I'm definitely looking forward it's final release >w<
Keep up the good work~

Please create a way to skip the tutorial levels, I play this game all the time and I know how the weapons work by now.
Sorry if there is a way to skip but I have not noticed.
There isn't, this is only a demo. I wasn't expecting people to play through it more than once!
In my opinion, this demo is better than most games available, ive played it numerous times and probably have the most time logged on it than any other VR game. It has surprisingly high replayability the same thing pretty much never happens.
Are you kidding? I play it almost every day! I'm gonna be sooo fit soon
I have more hours in this "demo" than every other Vive game I own. The chunkiest combat I have seen in any game so far.
i just found out that you maked a game called "broforce"
The two games are almost identical, really.
Have you considered using the grip button as a toggle switch for picking up weapons/making a fist?
yes, next version should have that.
I've been playing this game for months and i've touched into vr developement. I was wondering if you could ever release the script so people could mod it. Either way, this is my favorite vr game EVER!
also, here is a video of me playing it with my friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWG1MHOkVbE
A Bit of Christmas Gorn!
Here's my new Gorn video with a little bit of Holiday spirit. First time gameplay with the Oculus Touch! :D
make it so you could only grab when they dont have armor on, it would help with the "cheating".
Just did a video on your game. I posted before about how I play it nearly every day. Still not joking.
Enjoy!
I'd suggest some kind of limit on grabbing the enemies. It's fun but completely ruins any challange. Maybe a stamina or the squirm loose or the enemies become enraged. Holding a guy and punching him in the face is great but using him as a weapon is too effective right now.

Let's get to know our Gladiators!
Some one on one time with the combatants, several dance offs, one handed Warhammer combat, and also contains super titty twisters!!

I discovered this game earlier today. I made this video. GORN is great.
Edit - So I let my girlfriend try this game and she almost broke everything.
Playing Gorn with music is amazing

Fantastic! Any timeframe on when that will be? I need more! Haha. :)
Hopefully in January, we'll see!
Can't wait.
HERE'S MY NEW GORN VIDEO FRIENDS! :D If anyone hasn't thrown a spear yet in this game it's so much fun! >.<
GORN VR #3!! BACK TO THE ARENA THE CROWD LOVES ME!! | HTC VIVE
