Sword and Shield: Arena VR
Update 1.0.7 released
- Multiple opponent combat redesigned so you always fight one (let's first perfect single combat and then think how to introduce many)
- The issue of swords sometimes not being properly resolved (one popping on the wrong site) should be resolved ***
- Running animation a bit less funny :)
- You can now see what update version you have in the Help Scroll
Let me know if you see any issues so far.
Next week combat related issues
*** I just saw that the issue is still there. I will investigate more
Friday Update
What I am trying to accomplish for the next weekend:
- Opponent uses diffident attacks
- When 2 swords push one another, the one pushing with the edge wins
- Avoid clipping between opponent shield and sword hand
- Improve opponent reactions to the point where it becomes harder to defeat opponent quickly
- Simplified multi-opponent combat so that you always face one at a time
- Player has more control to manipulates opponent shield
Let me know if you think I missed some other short term priorities
Update 1.0.6 released
- Player shield control
- Player arms view for mixed reality recordings
- Running animations
Other update is scheduled for Friday evening.
If you have time to try this new update you can share your thoughts in the Discussion section.
Patch 1.0.5 is out
This patch is mainly focused on preventing multiple opponents to run into one another in higher levels. Individual combat improvements will be next.
Regular Updates
The first update is up. When you lose life the last unlocked level is no longer locking as you requested. A few minor changes.
I am committed to rolling regular updates every 2 days or so.
Please write in a review what features or issues you would like fixed first. I know one of the most annoying one now is when the opponents run into one another. This will be fixed very soon.

Waiting for Valve to approve it!
Mar 31, 2017
Sword and Shield: Arena VR is finally here! You can now experience sword and shield combat with advanced physics and realistic opponents.
The game is waiting for approval from Valve and I hope they can review it ASAP
The combat is not yet optimized for difficulty. Some may find it too easy. Others too hard. I wanted to get some feedback before optimizing it, so to make sure it reflects your expectations. Please, don’t hesitate to leave your feedback and recommendations in the comments.
You can try now the first version of sword fighting
So this is just a demo of the early version of the sword fight. I am working on the actual game with proper environment, world exploration, characters, story and all that. I target March 2017 for release. This is just a demo of the first experimental sword fight in a quick environment setup with no story. Please share your impressions and recommendations in regards to the sword fighting experience. Preferably on the steam forum http://steamcommunity.com/app/533990/discussions/
