Resurrect VR

Game Aperçu & History

A short unpolished VR demo/experience for the 2015 Shayla Jeux VR Jam: Enter a trippy world and meet some skeletons and later a dark and very evil golem … it’s up to you what you’ll do … kill with thunder or heal with flowers?

Usually, you’ll probably want to go through the experience a few times until you’ve seen all possible paths. There’s also a few easter-eggs you might find (falling off the plane is not a bug, seriously!)

Jouabilité Mechanics & Systems

Works best with Sixense/Razor Hydra:

Move forward/backward or strafe left/right: Use right hand joystickTurn left/right: Use left hand joystickSelect target: Look at target and press upper trigger (left or right hand joystick)Blast: Right triggerHeal: Left triggerKnown Issue: Currently, the only way to make this properly work for left-handed players is to switch the controllers – better left-handed/right-handed support will be added later.

Release & Industry Impact

Controls when not using Hydra:

WASD to moveClick left mouse button and move mouse left/right to turn left/rightSelect target by looking at it and then right-clicking with your mouse.F: Blast Lighting G: Heal
Warning: You need to keep the mouse cursor above the Window of the game (not inside the HMD) – otherwise, mouse commands won’t work.

Known Issues:

There’s flickering, especially noticeable with the GUI – that’s a known Unity 5.1 issue (will be fixed as soon as I get a Unity build that doesn’t do this)Currently, there’s no Mac version because Unity+DK2+Hydra doesn’t work, and without Hydra, it’s kind of messy to controlLeft-handed Hydra support is currently a little “hackish” (you need to take the left controller in your right hand, the right controller in the left hand)Does not have proper start and endingYou need to restart to start over (which you probably want to do when you’ve killed everything the first time you play 😉 )Future Features:

Startup area with a little tutorial and some automagical setupMuch improved “magic” using the Hydras position tracking (think of fireballs above your hand that you can throw 😉 )Experience of falling down from the plane will be improved ;-)SteamVR / HTC Vive support (can I haz DevKit, plz!? 😉 )
