Hi everyone, I wanted to post that we just launched a free Open Alpha Demo for our game Abatron for those interested in it. We always love feedback!

Also not to spam too much, we’re launching a Kickstarter on August 30th! In order to help spread the word, we are using Thunderclap to increase visibilty. How Thunderclap works is you sign up for our campaign using your facebook or twitter account. When our Kickstarter launches, Thunderclap will automatically send out ONE post about it on your behalf. If we can get enough people signed up for this, it can really do wonders for our campaign! So please click below and join us :slight_smile:

Hi everyone, we have some pretty cool tech to show off some VR support for Abatron. Our first preview of VR Spectate is live on the current steam build. What is VR Spectate? An easy description is similiar to Twitch watching online gameplay execept it is watching games in complete VR.

VR Spectate, lets you fly around and watch a battle all in Virtual Reality. We support several modes of VR movement to try out. Free Fly mode gives you the most movement freedom, or if you aren’t as tolerant to VR movements try the Teleport mode. We also have a Hybrid mode that uses a combination of teleport and free fly modes. Additionally, we support a motion controller movement mode for headsets without gamepads.

In spectate mode, you have basic controls to speed up and slow down time, skip ahead on the VR menu, or take awesome screenshots. This first public preview is very experimental and far from done. It is working really well, but we have more features to add and more work to do with it.

Our roadmap for this technology is exciting. All games that are played will be recorded and then be able to be replayed regularly or in VR mode. Additionally, we are able to stream live games so that a large number of VR spectators can watch the battle from their own perspectives and that is just the beginning!

Check out our VR demo today in the alpha and let us know what you think. Thanks!

Time for a much needed update to this thread. We are running full gear towards an Early Access release. We had gotten so much great feedback thus far to improve our game. Thanks so much.

New Steam build up!

New Replay System added. Now you can play and then watch your game afterwards! Fast forward, slow motion, take screenshots, and all the features you would expect in a video player.

We’ve also released our Virtual Reality spectator. If you have a headset, jump into your replay and see your battle up close and personal but with the power to control time =)

*Note: Delete any previous recorded demos, VR1
