Update VRDarts v0.7.0
In this update we .....
Updated the stand scene
We changed the lighting and PBR materials of the current stand scene so it reflects our rendered VR Darts Logo.
Changed Menu Navigation Mechanics
We changed the way menu navigation works for the hand controllers .. just point and click .. a bit more intuitive we think....
Improved Performance
To find a 20%-40% fps (some cases even more ... ), and hence a more stable throwning experience, we optimized meshes in the scenes, fine-tuned lightmaps and lightmodel and switched over to single pass rendering ..
We also put an fps indicator in the left top of the main menu tv : green = ok / orange = acceptable / red = bad, this so you can check your fps and see if you should have a stable throwing experience.
... happy darting ...
Update VRDarts v0.6.1
In this update ...
AI Throw Animations
We added AI Throw Animations to give a more immersive experience.
Before ... when AI was throwing a dart, the dart just floated in the air and was launched towards the board.
AI is throwing darts when playing a match against AI, previewing / practise against or play a match against another darter's best leg ( leaderboard ), or when you are spectating a BOT-only match.
With this update, when AI is throwing a hand of darts, you will see a HMD (head) and hands throwing the actual darts. The HMD will be textured with the darter/opponent's national flag.
In development for the 0.7.0 version
- renewed 'Stand' scene.
- FPS optimizations for a more stable throwing experience.
After that ... 1.0 with online multiplay (challenges)
In Development ... [2017-12]
We are working on ....
Performance & Stability Update
For a stable throwing experience framerate is (a.o.) a very important factor. Your handcontrollers' positions are captured by your system and the more frames within a timeframe the system can capture, the more accurate your throw will be.
We are working hard to improve the FPS in the scene's and are also improving on the throwing mechanic to give you a better and more stable throwing experience.
'Stand' Scene Upgrade
We are adjusting the stand scene so it reflects and uses the materials from our VR Darts Logo Render.
Online Multiplay
With online multiplay you will be able to play online against your friends or others worldwide, in real time.
It is now already possible to play offline against others' best 501 leg, using the leaderboard rating system
We will go into full live release when online multiplay is implemented.
On the horizon.....
After live release we will implement the Cricket Game type.
Update VRDarts v0.6.0
In this version we added :
Leaderboards & Rating
We now rank you on leaderboards for :
Rating (Elo based)
3 Dart Average
Out Percentage
Number of darts you have thrown
Your initial rating is determined when you play a full leg of 501 Darts.
When you click the action button [>] of a specific leaderboard entry, you will see this darter's leaderboard stats and if he/she has a rating (and recorded rating leg), you will be able to spectate, practise or play for rating against this leaderboard leg.
When you have a rating and play against another player's rating leg, your rating will be adjusted based on the result and the boards will be updated.
The are separate leaderboards for hand controllers, gamepad easy, gamepad normal and gamepad hard.
When a gamepad player changes his/her skill setting (easy/normal/hard), his current leaderboard ranks will be reset. This means you can only rank on 1 gamepad leaderboard.
In Development ... [2017-10]
Leaderboards and rankings
We are adding some leaderboards based on 3 darts average and closing percentage.
We are adding an Elo based ranking list. Elo rating will be calculated when a 'rated' match is played. A 'rated' match will be gainst another live player or locally against his/her best leg.
