We are pleased to announce that we have integrated some features into the game aimed to add a haptic experience to increase the immersion. In this first integration we have chosen the following haptic devices:
HTC Vive Knukles Controllers, 2nd gen: a very confortable and neat controller with finger tracking.
bHaptics Tactot Suit: An haptic vest for torso with 40 vibration points.
Of course we have added new gameplay elements to make this integration something natural and intuitive:
GRIFF'S PAWS Fully rigged paw with movement using the Kuckles' finger tracking *:
Claws:
Now you can drop the weapons and scratch the enemies with the claws, causing enemies to move away from your position and damage.
GHOST DOLLS
Immune to knockback.
Resists bullets.
Weak against claw scratches.
BLUE JAYS (rifles) ACTIVATION
If you start the game with the Knuckles controls, the Blue Jays will be located on the side of your body. To activate the Blue Jays you must bring your hands to the sides and press the grip of the Knuckles controls with 3 fingers. If you take off your grip fingers then the weapons will return to your side.
If you start the game with any other control (HTC Vive, Oculus, Windows Mixed Reality), you will start with the Blue Jays. You can release the weapons by pressing the side button of the control you use at that moment. To reuse the Blue Jay, you must bring your hands to the sides and press the side button.
Note: These changes will be active in all game modes and you can play Sophie's Guardian without the need of the Knuckles.
* If using other controls (HTC Vive, Oculus, Windows Mixed Reality) the fingers will move if you press certain buttons, such as the side button.
Reward for our supporters.
We are pleased to announce that there will be a speciall reward for all those people who bought the game in its Early Access version, we feel very grateful to you after 2 years of learning, tons of VR development and decisions taken.
Sophie's Guardian is a project that we developed to test the technical capabilities of our studio when developing Virtual Reality content. We were able to develop the necessary workflow for our VR projects and since then, we have developed more than 20 applications of Virtual Reality for the health, energy, automotive and marketing industry, as well as some demos of IP's own Virtual Reality.
All being said we would like to give Sophie's Guardian free of charge to our players and potential players in gratitude for having supported us for the last 2 years.
And for all that person who did support: Wait for your reward very soon.
