    Valve has their own VR Hardware

    I went to Steam Dev Days. They gave us all steam machines and controllers. Valve is not so much working on their own VR solution, as they are partnering up with Occulus VR to improve their solution, at least that was the impression I got when I talked to Valve and the content of their...

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    Haha, you should be able to move them with left mouse, could you not?

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    So I did a horror game jam this weekend and made a procedurally generated horror game. I figured you guys might be interested :-) http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-unknown/ It's free, so go and download and let me know what you think! Would love to get some feedback on it.

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    Ok Here's a bit more info: Regarding outdoors vs indoors: I actually would like to have a mix. Think of STALKER, you have a mix of outdoor chunks and indoor areas that require a loading screen and are "separate" from the over world. Currently the idea is to have a similar thing here, where...

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    Hey Fishlore, I'm using Unity3d but its been heavily modified at this point. I wrote my own culling system for the procedural generation (since Unity only does static Umbra culling) as well as the actual procedural generation algorithm. Everything in the project is pretty much made from...

    Just a quick reply (I'll tackle your post fully when I have a bit more time, promise) to give a little insight into the procedural generation. If you check out the above youtube video, you should get a decent idea of how the system works to an extent. Those are just interior levels, think...

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    Yup that's already planned as a feature, but I'm unsure as to when exactly I'll add it. It's on the roadmap though, I plan to keep expanding the game for a while. I was thinking of doing crafting more akin to 1 grenade + duct tape + string = tripwire trap, gun + duct tape + flashlight = gun with...

    Hey guys, thanks, happy to share it. Let me know if you have questions, I'm looking to release more media soon since I feel the game is no longer adequately represented by the main trailer. There's really neat AI stuff I want to show!

    So I've been working on my own game: Rebirth - procedural survival horror sandbox game

    Hey folks, So it's been forever since on these boards, mostly because of the post title. During the spring last year, I started doing some game dev in my spare time when I got home from my day job. Long story short, Rebirth is that game and I've been hacking away at it in my spare time ever...

    Reign of Thunder, new F2P mech game from the creators of MechAssault

    I don't get why anyone would bash this but go nuts for Hawken. Hawken looks like your standard FPS arena shooter with a mech styled GUI to look like cockpits. What makes that game a true mech game and not this one? Not that I'm a big fan of Mechassault, I much preferred the old school...

    Max Payne 3

    I really hate the setting. Why does every game these days need to take place in either some desert or some lush green island? Story looks like it'll be cliche in a bad way, not a Max Payne way.

    My first published Android app! (Munchkin card game related)

    So I recently started playing board games with my wife and a few friends, after discovering Munchkin over the holidays. I was kind of pissed off that they didn't include basic stuff like level counters and whatever with the game, so I decided to build an Android app for the heck of it, to do all...

    Resident Evil 6 trailer is out!

    Las Plagas is the worst thing to happen to RE, I thought the umbrella viruses were way better and more interesting. I'm not really scared of squid head guys, more like annoyed that I have to keep shooting them in the head to kill them, then a giant shitbeanstalk plant pops out of their head and...

    DotA 2 Beta discussion thread of sorts?

    I gave Higlac his key, and he's too noob to play Dota 2 well. I'll post some of my first impressions on it soon, coming from a guy who played Dota maybe 5 times ever, and kicks a lot of ass in League of Legends Also, don't you dare play 1 or 2 games and stop using that key. I gave you that...
