Enjoy the idea! I would be nice to see a more fleshed out part menu in the future.

Glad I saw the SteamVR build, worked on my HTC Vive while the other only let me spawn in and move hands around.

However I wasn't able to play very far as I kept getting frustrated. I spawned different pieces to build and was tossing them to the side as necessary, but every time I'd use locomotion I'd end up on top of a piece. So when I'd go to grab something on the ground, I'd be teleported up and then back down just spawning more objects instead of grabbing one. I also was teleported into the sky and dropped back down after trying to pick up a piece.

LOVE the concept and this is right up my alley but definitely needs work. Would love to see this in a more polished form!

Thanks for trying :)

I've actually spent a lot of time on improving the player code since the game jam ended (it's not possible to lean over things and to stand on moving vehicles), but it still keeps stepping on things when it shouldn't and goes flying when holding on to the object you are standing on, it's a surprisingly tricky problem.

Could you potentially ignore the player body while building (just allow grabbing and interaction of parts)? You could have a visual indicator and not allow spawning of a new piece by testing if there's a collision. Perhaps there could be a toggle for a 'drive mode' or contact mode that allows you to continue building while you're on top of a vehicle/structure.

You've probably already done something like this but just figured I'd throw out some ideas. Will be checking back for the update!

This is brilliant, I love construction games! Amazing that you built your own engine as well. Outstanding work!

leiye1995Submitted3 years ago

Works great with Oculus Quest! I'm very impressed that you made your own engine, the physics works really nice. Maybe too nice, I held a block under my player and I went for a flight.

Thanks! The playercode turned out to be pretty bad, I am about to rewrite it to hopefully fix that and other annoying problems :D

If you are playing on SteamVR please use this build: http://cld.slindev.com/8ce85440b8f0

It has the same content as the one I submitted to the gamejam but with updated steamvr input system and a couple of crash fixes.

I can only spawn cubes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? ;) (HTC Vive)

sorry, it’s an issue with input on steamvr. I will hopefully have a version with a fix later today.

SlinDeveloper3 years ago

Hey, if you are willing to give it another try, I fixed the steamvr input issue now: http://cld.slindev.com/8ce85440b8f0

Played on the Oculus Rift S

This game is seriously awesome. I love the possibilities it opens up is seriously great to think about. I do wish it had some sort of grid lock system to make it easier to construct vehicles. I honestly hope to see this continued with controllable vehicles and etc!

Hey, if you are willing to give it another try I finally managed to fix the input issue. Controls are not amazing with Vive Wands, but it should be playable now: http://cld.slindev.com/8ce85440b8f0

That is seriously cool. Would love to check it out in multiplayer at some point for sure. :) Makes me feel like I am on that TV show Scrapyard Supercar. You could probably give it that feel, for the competition element :)

Looks really cool! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work right on the Valve Index.

If you know how to fix this, I'll come back for a rating.

Hey, thanks for the info, do you have any details on the issue for me? Unplayable controls? Crashing? I do not have an index to reproduce this myself unfortunately.

ParkerIsPkSubmitted3 years ago

Just the controls. It seems that only the menu button & triggers get registered. I did have some fun sticking blocks together and tossing them around, but I couldn't resize anything, move, or switch block type.

calibrated-horizonsSubmitted3 years ago

Did you do something special to get that far? None of the buttons seem to respond on my Index. I am running SteamVR before launching.

ParkerIsPkSubmitted3 years ago

Nope, no clue why it worked the way it did.

Pretty cool man, I love tho art style too btw. Very cool that you made a multiplayer game in a week too.
