I'm excited to announce that the crowdfunding campaign for SightLine has launched!

Official website  |  Facebook Page

Help us make this reality! Share and comment! 🙂

As a special treat, he's the last part of SightLine Prelude, finishing the surreal sci-fi short about the events before the story of SightLine.

Also I have made new topic for the development of the full game after VR Jam, so you can get updates and continue discussion here:
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6896

------------------------------

Get 1.2 Windows build (DK2 support)

Also SightLine is now on Oculus Share

Update: Because I would like to make SightLine into a full blown game, I'm considering launching an IndieGogo campaign, but I could use some advice. Would you mind answering some of the questions in this post?

Hello,
I would like to share my Oculus VR jam entry with you - a game prototype named "SightLine", based on a principle that as soon as anything exits your field of view, it can change!

Official website (in construction)
Facebook page

Description

Our universe is volatile. Anything can be happening in places you're not observing. But laws of physics ensure, that whenever you look back, everything will be nice and consistent. In this game, laws of physics are broken.

The moment you look away... anything can change. The moment an object leaves your line of sight, it can vanish or change into something else.

Will you make sense of this unstable world and use the volatile nature of the environment to your advantage, to solve puzzles and get to the end?


Sightline is an environmental action/puzzle game prototype made specifically for
Oculus Rift VR jam developed with Unity and thus supports Windows, Mac and Linux

2nd milestone video
Note: It lacks some of the polish and changes in the final build, I didn't have time to make or even upload (I have 0.6 Mbps upload >.>) new trailer, but at least you'll have some surprises while playing 😉




Download
Windows (Final VR jam prototype build - 1.0) (~150 MB)

Soundtrack (On SoundCloud)

Works with keyboard/mouse and Xbox 360 controller.

Also I used a bunch of creative commons/free assets, they're listed in the README file included with the game.

I'll be happy if you share your thoughts, constructive criticism or just any comments! ^^ The last 3 weeks were quite tense, I worked as much as I could on this and I hope that I'll at least stand a small chance 😄 And hopefully that you'll find it fun 🙂

Wow .. you know, from watching the vids, I'm starting to get excited about your work. Great concept in general and it seems to be original in terms of all the demos and games I've seen.

Please let me know if you need some testers .. I'm eagerly awaiting to check your environments out.

Great idea!

This reminds me of the tests done with eye tracking where elements from a picture/scene can be moved and changed when the user isn't looking at them and they don't notice.

So do these rooms belong to a in/famous illusionist then?

Thank you all, I'm glad you like it! 🙂

Here's another teaser vid, it's a first segment of the game, but mostly just a model showcase/test (there's bunch of things that aren't supposed to be in that scene). It doesn't show an actual gameplay yet.

From what I've seen, it kind of reminds me of Anti-Chamber (which is rift enabled now) because of all the reality-bending components. Looks awesome! 🙂

If you have ever seen Doctor Who you may have heard of The Weeping Angels that are quantum locked so they can ONLY move when you aren't looking at them.
I think of that when I see your game... MAKE IT HORROR STARRING WEEPING ANGELS!!!!

lgv212: Thanks! Anti-chamber is based on non-euclidean designs, so it's a bit different, but the reality-changing element is in my game as well, but in a bit different way.

Netherion: Oh yeah, I know Weeping Angels (I'm actually quite a Dr. Who fan 🙂 ), but I'm planning a monster that you actually don't have to look at to survive, so it's a bit different. And will be part of a puzzle.

fonefen: I'm not really sure what do you mean by that.

------------------------

Anyway, I uploaded my 3 screenshots for 1st milestone. They're not that much and not particularly revealing (I've been working mostly on the puzzles and not graphical side yet), just showing a few locations, but... here they are if you want to look:





Now I'll go to get some actual sleep for one day xD

No feedback on the screens? 😞

Anyway, I made new video, showing the portion of the starting scene (without voice actor yet):
