Hydradeck RTS

This time it's an RTS!

When you're standing up, you feel like a giant in a tiny world where the castle only comes up to your knees. Through the magic of VR, when you bend down to look at it the world scales up to full size! Then if you want to move across the battlefield, just stand up and take a step to the other side of the world.

The gameplay is a simple tower defence style where you can upgrade your castles defence forces and guide your artillery teams against the hordes of attacking robots. Don't let the robots get in your front gates!

thats the kind of genius inventions no one ever could imagine and what makes VR so new and amazing

[Beautifulifesonata]

always be amazed of your creativity! you just show a great potential for VR RTS!

This is almost exactly how I imagined RTS gaming would be in Virtual Reality.  My suggestion is to find a good piece of hand tracking to make it that much more incredible!  Pat their heads to select them, Make a walking movement with your fingers to have them move there, use both hands to drag a box.  Combine that with the looking around and it'll be awesome!

To kill them, CRUSH THEM WITH YOU FOOT TRACKING HARDWARE! :P

Foot controllers would be amazing. You then become the Hero with your super OP damages with cooldowns. stomp stomp stomp!

This is the coolest shit I've seen in years. Really well done bro, when you bent down and the camera went ground level I was blown away. Brilliant.

Changing scale on the fly is one of those ideas that will make vr popular.

You are one of the most valuable people working with the Rift right now. I hope Oculus realizes how lucky they are that their product has attracted someone of your ingenuity! :D

[JubJubForder]

Very nice idea :)
I can see an Alice in Wonderland game...changing size to overcome obstacles/puzzles.

[ChickenTikiMasala]

You've got us to do the exercise we hate most with this game...squats.  Well played sir, well played.

[DaBruzzla]

Man I think you are doing masterful work at pushing ideas for this new technology....really great direction your going with your hydra implemenetation. Would be cool if the hydra guys and the Oculus rift guys team up for real and take you onboard along the way.... if that didnt already happen :)

[IchEsseHaende]

Different backgrounds, weather, TOD and special abilitiess like hitting with your fist on the ground would be cool. You're the best, love your stuff. Greetings fom germany :)

[Anatomiedusens]

This is absolutly brilliant man, never tought of something like this .

[ShadeWMD]

This is so cool! An innovative new take on an RTS/spectator style game!

[Czin]

Incredible! It would be something if gazing on your armsmen gave them a buff or some visual inspired/fearful feedback. This has a real Eye of Sauron feel to it to me! ^^

[SmokieBowls]

This is an amazing idea and definitely the first of it's kind! Awesome job.

[Henderburn]

This is awesome, keep it up. Total War will never be the same

I just tried it. And its the most exciting demo I have tried with oculus+hydra so far. I dont now so much about RTS, but i know that its a genre of games that are very difficult to balance. So I would suggest that you instead of making a new game-mechanic take a older recognized classic of rts´s, that has that balance sweetspot, and just clone the mechanics and change the skin. The game would be guaranteed to be entertaining, and time would be saved. Great work!

[androlimanovski]

Nice idea for Black and White game in VR!

[fredbreadfred]

absolutely love your videos. You seem like a really cool dude too.

[UwUziivert]

If anyone here is cross eyed, you can actually watch this in 3-D when he has the two screens next to each other, it looks amazing.
