Polygon Nightmare - Old School VR

Score working. 3min countdown and Dactyl warning sprite installed

and its possible to turn it off/on by press of a button (like the emulated 60 deg FOV.)

I can barely remember, but I recall a sound effect being played like a deep voice saying "Dactal incoming" before it approaches. I'm not even sure if thats correct or I'm making it up, it has been so long, is there something to that effect in the game?

Also after your communications Virtuosity, was it possible to obtain any of the original sound assets for the game? Maybe asking too much I guess but you never know.

Enmark

Yes. there are several effects like the voice is saying "Bird is Hungry" as a warning and then Bird is coming. but i have only the later in my game . if i could get hold of the original sound effects i would use them all

but i haven't pressed for this because its  probably  to much work to extract from the original game. I found the original soundtrack on a suspect Amiga sound/music site, i cant find anymore.
but i have chosen to extract the music from one of the available Youtube clips instead. because of the better ambient sound it made.

Yea I figured it would probably be a long shot getting a hold of the original assets. Especially since the company already changed hands and the software was on an entirely different platform. I like that you somehow managed to snag the music though.

Sound :
- 1 Mb 8Bit sample memory (Stereo)
- Background music : yes, CD audio

that explains it...its on a separated media!

original song presumably made by Daniel Bury and is called  "snakedance"?

Have they given you a time frame for store release? BTW What sort of coin shall we save for this game?

Enmark

well back to the drawingboard.....seem my app is no fun

No Entitlment checks = add
Config window on startup = remove
Fail to reorient direction to forward after reset in universal menu? = no idea. have to check this

Boo. ... 
Oh well, point 2 should be easy enough.

The other 2 seem interesting? I've not heard of "entitlement checks" I'm assuming it means checking for Oculus Home .. are we to assume when you solve these it will be green light? or are there other issues?

Enmark

probably only to solve them to have it published.

(every other obstacle in this thread is solved)

Enmark

ok. i believe its done. I was a little to trigger happy to publish,  Will send it off tonight after work

( Several last things added like "Easter egg" reworked.....    )

RABID

any news?

Enmark

its in for review a second time because i'm a noob dev, trying to decipher all the demands publishing in the store is requiring  

I hope i got the Entitlement checks right this time. i can't figure out why you will need a external script to invoke the Entitlement check..... why its not a part of the Unity oculus package!

Congrats mate.

dft69dg

Good work Mate!! I have watched your progress on here for a couple of years and am more than happy to buy your game, you earned it

Enmark

Thanks @dft69dg its exactly why i have strive forward every time i had a setback, to give people like my self the possibility to once again visit the first attempt of commercial VR fore a bigger audience.

And this humble project is going to be free of charge. because i do not own the title and possibly be reached by more users. 

My work has never been around profit. only the love of the Virtuality Arcade system fueling my dreams of commercial VR for 25 Years   

Calmfixup

Holy crap, I can't wait to try this!! Congrats!

Enmark

Your app will be released on 5/24 for free under the Gallery Apps section of the Rift store.

Judgment day is coming! 

VRbandwagon

I'm so glad to hear that! My childhood dream is becoming reality! Thank you so much Mr. Breton!

How's the Steam version coming along?

elboffor

Steam publishing form (used to maintain quality on steam):
We can make monies from it?
If no, is it free?

If yes to either of these, quality checks complete amd passed.

Enmark

Steam publishing is my next goal! i will have use of testers with Vive equipment. because i cant afford to own both HMD platforms 

JohnVRfan

Awesome work! Great job man. Good luck with Steam!

Percy1983

happy days, looking forward to this.

KillCard

Just a couple more days!

What a journey.
