So with the festive period over and my schedule back to being empty, its time for me to update you all on what I’ve been up to and what I’ve got planned. Lucky you.
Over the festive period I was very busy celebrating Yule and Christmas as only my girlfriend and I celebrate the former in our circles. So with those and New Years, I’ve been busy, especially so with the Oculus Rift as everyone who has visited has either wanted shown or forced to try it. This means that I’ve got a large group of very different people to give me their opinions on both it and the three games I posted in my previous post about the Oculus Rift.
They all liked it, even some people with motion sickness were able to put up with it. This has made me very hopeful about the future of the Oculus Rift as I was nervous that I had bought into something that had none. With my fears found to be nothing more than my own tight pocket crossed with a motion sickness that is getting less and less with each session, I’ve decided to start working on developing with the Oculus Rift in mind.
Oculus Rift Game
With help from my friend Fraser Gillespie (www.frasernat20.blogspot.co.uk) to create an interactive environment inspired by Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro. The environment will be, hopefully, similarly styled to the anime. We are aiming to create something that player’s can get immersed and lost in.
More on that later though, once we’ve worked out exactly what we need and both get back on track.
Those Who Play
After the last bout of playtesting we found out that a d10 is just not good enough, unfortunately we haven’t had another playtest since then and I’ve just managed to buy enough dice for a decent dice pool test. Hopefully one of these systems works out well and I can continue with setting books unhindered, but for now, it lays dormant until I can rope some playtesters in.
New Years Resolution
So with the new year here I’ve decided to kick myself into gear even harder than before and try and finish my existing projects before starting anything new.
Those Who Play – Pen and Paper RPG System
Atheist God – Novel
Big Badass Barbarians – Board Game
Forest For Oculus – Video Game
Happy New Year!
