itch.io

Do they have any connection or anything to my account?

Support contact is via email, so I assume that the email address should highlight the account to them but it's not obvious that that is the case.

I started a payout today but immediately after that I noticed (since it is written on the payout after you start one) that the tax withholding rate has incorrectly been set to the default 30%. This is due to my tax information not being up to date.

I updated the tax information straight away and the correct withholding rate is showing in settings.

The payout still states 30%, will the payout automatically be adjusted after a few days or do I need to have it cancelled or modified by support?
I have already sent an email to support but haven't received the response yet. (still within 24 hours so maybe too early to expect one yet)

This is the backend VR Rig and Locomotion system behind my physics game ProjectTX

It's also research in terms of directionality and accessibility.

but I only have a Rift...

The only thing I can 100% guarantee it works perfectly on is Rift.

This is my game, why do people ask if I'm going to give them the source code when it's pretty clear I'm making a game.

Please do not ask for the backend of what is clearly intended as a game, it's highly inappropriate.

Yes, it's nice but a very different type of game to this.

Skatebird seems to be based on the gameplay style of Tony Hawks as a skateboarding game.

360Chicken is a game where I just wanted to put a physics ragdoll chicken on a vehicle and give it similar mechanics to Happy Wheels and Guts'n'Glory. It actually wasn't even going to be a chicken, it was supposed to be a humanoid character, but when programming the base movement I used a Sphere attached to a flat Box with wheels, it became quite fun so I added a Head Sphere and it looked like a chicken.

360Chicken is not really supposed to replicate any other game's mechanics directly, rather it works very differently to  a regular skateboard game, where the skateboard works more like a car than a skateboard, you can see how the board is big enough that the chicken basically sits mostly within it's bounds.

It's just a zipped game, there is no installer!

What actually happens when you run the game?

Sorry for extremely delayed response.

Backspace seems to do the trick for me, I didn't actually remember the controls until I just played it just now.

I really wish I'd put the controls list in-game rather than on itch.io.

I've noticed that every comment on here beyond a certain date has at least 1 downvote.

It seems we have a lousy human on our hands.

The main controls are only Look, Move, Jump and Grab.

You can press H to see the spawning and extra debug controls, just a bunch of small things.

Spawning just spawns random sized and random coloured objects, except the bombs that are always the same.

Hi guys, hope you like the little scene I made for this sample.

I'm looking for some Feedback regarding primarily the Locomotion itself;
Does it feel natural enough to you, does it feel like it requires much effort?

Additionally Do you feel like having the ability to very quickly change and control your speed in this way is beneficial especially when compared with direct Joystick based "SmoothLoco"?

For Vive users and other non-Oculus users, I'd also really like to know if there were any issues getting this to run in SteamVR, the build should automatically run in SteamVR if Oculus isn't present and should have the controls work properly this time.

If the controls worked correctly for SteamVR users please let me know, as I'm using an experimental method for controls that is very easy for me to work with and should also handle all the little issues that I previously had with SteamVR versions of my games/demos.

Thank You.

Sorry for not making that clear on the first sample.

The page is for multiple Sample Demos regarding the "Presence System", I uploaded Sample 2 today, it's a VR demo for the Locomotion, but does still rely on the underlying physics for player movement that's in the rMod Sample.

There will be more and hopefully the whole Presence system for VR as a sample demo soon.

Thanks for deleting it.

Videos of the game make sense here, but links to actual YouTube channels will become spam very very quickly. When you look at the spam comments on YouTube and your video does ok, you'll see it's just 90% links to apps.

I gotta make sure they don't start, because they will never stop appearing otherwise.

I'll have a look thanks.

Looks like Ban then Clear is probably my only alternative now then for now.

Sorry I was updating the game.

It's now fixed. Thank You

OK so for some reason there isn't a Delete button next to any comment that isn't mine. That's quite silly already since Internet = Spam.

More importantly though a half solution exists, I can Edit the comment.... Except I can't, I get a Server Error

I can't Delete the comment, I can't Edit the comment, Reporting the comment doesn't remove it. Are you telling me that I have to BAN someone just to remove their single spam comment?

What's going on here guys... Don't start becoming YouTube and making changes that actively destroy the platform :)

I'm marking this under Bug, for the Edit issue.

Thanks Guys.

Please delete the Link to your YouTube channel.

I would have done this myself but itchio screwed up the Delete and Edit buttons and the only way for me to remove this comment would be to Ban you.

So I may as well leave the choice to you.

Yeah, this is really irritating.

Now I can't Delete Comments, I can Edit them except no wait... Server error.

The only way to remove spam is to Report them? WHY!

OK I've uploaded the fixed version.

Please redownload. You maight still need to change the controls for your Gamepad but you can now use the Analogue properly for Camera. Thanks

I just fixed the Analogue and Default Controls and I'm uploading now. I forgot to check them and have been using the Keyboard for a while.

Controls on other gamepads are going to be wrong, I can't really fix that since my Gamepad is not xInput, or at least I'm not using it in xInput. The controls are correct on my Gamepad but I guarantee if I switched to my old Gamepad they would be bad.

The default controls on Keyboard are the Movement on Cursor Keys. This absolutely is Standard, if you grab an Emulator for a N64 you'll see this is the standard for Platformers, I really don't like Mouse move Camera controls in Platformers, they should be designed to handle the camera appropriately as you move without having to be modified. The camera movement in this is a little weaker than it should have been but you can move and not touch the camera control for the most part.

Either way I've fixed the Analogue Camera issue and Defaults for Gamepad and am uploading now.

All Collision issues are not going to be a problem from here forward, the entire Character Control Code is being replaced, the whole collision logic in this is much worse than in my fan game project and the reason I created that was to practice better character control, so no problems there :)

Thanks for Playing.

Thanks, but the entire underlying code for this is nowhere near the quality of the SM64 Reimagined fan game I made. The reason I made that was to learn to improve my platforming code massively.

Here the example you gave running on extreme slopes, I can't fix that easily with this code, it's much more difficult than that one is.

Just checking, are you pressing Menu on your Touch Controllers?

In SteamVR it could be any of your buttons, it's the same button on either side, so it's either A and X or it's B and Y.

No, and no.

The links have been removed and that's all. Most likely for the sake of Mario Odyssey VR as my fan work definitely conflicted with it.

Smooth rotation is one of the slightly awkward sickness inducers, I can feel it slightly when I'm turning here and I've not that it seems to be mostly due to how much time you spend turning, hence I turned mine all the way up so you can turn really quickly in sort of bursts preventing you from turning for so long (it's noticeable in my videos), I did a simple threshold on the stick so there's 2 speeds half speed and full, gives player a bit more control.

Hopefully you didn't have as much trouble with the lack of Start Rotation Axes when making the cylinder grab as I did. Why do they still not allow changing the joint start rotation.

Hey there, so it took me a long time to try out your demo since you told me about it.

The Physics are pretty nice, feels the presence, also very stable, but the rifle does feel slightly over damped, like moving through water a bit.

A few minor gripes, generally with the movement system (which you'd expect from me I guess :) ), it's probably just me but I've gotten heavily reliant on being able to move pretty fluidly, and having the forward speed much faster than other directions is somewhat confusing when playing.

Additionally the turning (smooth turning mode) is a bit too slow.
The enemy is fast enough walking around me that it takes a long time to smooth turn and follow them while they're walking around the player, of course not a problem for a 360 play space so it's still a minor point.

Body motion is pretty good, especially the foot movement when left to tracking.

I do suggest a physical forearm for this version of your system, it does help with things hitting the hand and pretty much gives you an elbow to push with too, though I understand that you don't want to update the tech demo beyond this. Also I know you're moving to a full ragdoll eventually so it's a non-issue for the future anyways.

Grabs mostly do what you want them to, although there was a point where I "force pulled" and ended up grabbing the front of the rifle. Cylinder grabs are a suggestion, but they really are a pain in the butt to get working right.

Sorry it took me so long to try it out, it's pretty good so far, definitely enough for a game to be built out of it.

I saw Markiplier play this a long time ago and decided to try it out.

I noticed that this is built on Octodad's engine. Are you part of the dev team for OctoDad?

I tried out the test levels just to see, a little bit of messin with the physics settings in the Antopia level, hope you don't mind. :D

You don't need any backup to prove to me that Vive controllers have a very bad button design.
I was saying that before they released.

Also, I learned a lot from that video, a lot more than just guns. :D Seen the video plenty of times.
Brandon be a man of genius.

I know, the Vive grabbing issue is a pain.

I didn't want to modify the grab system for that, because this is just a demo of the overall mechanics.

For grabbing weapons I am going to have sticky grips, even on Oculus, the reason being that I use the Grip button for reloading. So this will be fixed for you in the next build. Right now I didn't want to build a new unpolished system since converting to SteamVR caused a truck load of problems already.

Shells are limited to 20 per type, and they are spawned only when you start the game, they are always there. Once they stop moving they should have very minimal impact on processing including graphics since they vanish pretty quick at distance. I could possibly change the limit or give the option to change the bullet limit.

I didn't update the Oculus version, I only added a SteamVR version.

Also, I only have an Oculus Rift, so making this I tested it on an Oculus with Touch controllers through SteamVR. So even the SteamVR version should work on Oculus.

Alignment's a true pain for me since I don't have any Valve tracked equipment.

Do your real Vive controllers align to the in game Vive controllers?

I had to do some fakery to align things, but I matched up the controller models at the laser point in the menus. Basically the model aligns so that the Oculus model in SteamVR matches my Oculus Touch tracking.

I could try a second version with the orientation based on your comment and see if it feels right. Gotta rely entirely on feedback and that's a worrying scenario.

I'm uploading the SteamVR version now.

Hopefully it should have correct hand alignment, but I'm not 100% until Vive users have tested it.
