Upcoming stream to test the VR spellcasting system further; then estimating a youtube edit for episode 5 after the holiday. I can't wait to discuss what uncharted territory VR gaming actually presented to me to solve. One of the biggest things that caused me some delay is the complete failure of 2D UI, I just couldn't present the new spell cast system using it...because it would not be genuine. The game was insanely fun playing with...wait for it....NO UI....and obviously that's a problem. I wanted to prototype a 3D UI and combine the two updates so I could start to feel out what the true 'answers' might be on these subjects.
I'm now at the point where I feel I can publish episode 5 with meaningful updates and speculation on how the "VR Project" might play out in its conclusion. I would say the VR project itself probably has 1-2 more episodes after episode 5 as there's still more fine tuning/learning to go and the conclusion of VR being 'successful' for me will be killing a harder boss like Gatekeeper and benchmarking that experience to PC.
As I get deeper into development, please consider throwing my content a like to remind me the youtube or twitch events still have value for you all. They DO cost me extra time; but I've always loved geeking out with all of you.
In the meantime enjoy my latest adventures with Shadow of Falkore... I managed to make him defy gravity once again
I've been working on the next chapter of the "Virtual Reality" project...lets just say it's going GREAT and I am waiting to tie together my "Virtual Reality Studio Room" with the next YT video and twitch stream (because...it's worth it) twitter.com/NyelleUnbroken/status/1448152243006492…
Spells for the Heart of the Infinite Void demo I really like Black Hole Nova, it has interesting decisions between using mana to spread dots + aoe vs budgeting your mana to survive the encounter
Channel Update: • The next 3-4+ months will be focused around a Virtual Reality Project voted on previously (see new video youtube.com/watch?v=QizI2... for details) • My Unreal Engine game "Heart of the Infinite Void" now has a playable demo (available on the project discord) • Project Discord: discord.gg/hotiv
I've received a few messages recently & just want to recap a few things: • I quit WoW on Shadowlands pre-patch, I have no plans to return to WoW anytime soon (if ever...megasadface) • I ADORE FFXIV & still recommend it to folks as a WoW alternative; I also still have an active sub & log in casually • My focus is on my Unreal Engine game, a "mmorpg-light Lovecraft themed game" I'm making for fun 'to see where it goes' and it's wicked fun • My latest video talking about VR touches on my mindset surrounding my game and why I'm investing my time on it over FFXIV personally • I have a regular full time job/career on top of this channel; so I am limited in how much I can output (trying to sustain a healthier balance in my life)
Twitch Update: (www.twitch.tv/nyelle/videos) • The VR project is research and code writing heavy; I don't expect as many twitch streams until deeper into the project when I can stream gameplay for longer
Upcoming Videos: • I am likely releasing 1 (maybe 2) more 'reaction videos' (hthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPx8e...) of the first few testers of the packaged demo; not all of them being 'WoW players' • Virtual Reality Project: This will be vlog style content perhaps every 1-3 weeks until final conclusion of the project
Much Later: • AFTER the VR project is complete I'll re-do the poll I did previously to decide again between multiplayer next vs story/cinematics (RPG stuffs)
Much MUCH Later: • I WILL analyze the new WoW expansion details whenever that day comes & give my opinions on it (but chances are I won't get beta next time around since I un-subbed; which is silly because the best feedback comes from those that actually took the painful hit to leave)
If you are subscribed but do not have notifications on; I suggest visiting my channel home page to cherry pick what u are interested in
I'm working on a quick detour to package my game as a demo for a friend to try out, here's the halfway point of implementing a character select screen (no it is not done yet)
Voidform Virtual Reality Project starts this week!
I'm going to kick this off with this community post to talk about the project at a high level. Firstly I've NEVER used VR, I'm a VR virgin! I'm going to expose myself here and bring u along a super fun ride into the unknown; sharing my entire journey as I explore this 'new technology to me' and see if I can adapt voidform gameplay into a fun experience...OR NOT! If it's possible to IMPROVE upon a traditional PC gaming experience in mmorpg style game using the most fast paced & immersive spec design ever created or NOT?
Voidform design is the perfect test for this in my opinion (bias of course), of 30 years of gaming I've never seen such immersion as I did with this design...so can Virtual Reality Version even top it? Will it feel right? or clash? can it be evolved to feel right and find new uncharted gameplay experience here? HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT TO FIND OUT
I expect this project to take MONTHS; but have a full series of vlogs to document the journey of learning along the way.
I want to be VERY CLEAR; my expectations for this is low...I think 'improving' the experience from its PC version may not be possible - but I'm willing to put the time into this to know the answer
so let's go...and freefall into the void and find our answers together!
Quick Update: Sorry things have been slow releasing content; my shoulder/hand injury took 4 weeks away from me (complete downtime I couldn't use my right mouse hand). I also have put some extra time into things that needed attention in my real life and had to deal with some health related things as well. I have about two weeks of time back into my game now and I'm planning to do a progress and benchmark test twitch stream in the coming days/week.
The poll earlier seems to confirm a Voidform Virtual Reality experiment has the highest interest and will be started following the completion of my current boss. Because that's a longer undertaking and super interesting I'm going approach that as a 'series' with youtube progress vlogs as I experiment with VR for the very first time in my life. I really want to share this particular journey in more detail as it unfolds- I have no fucking idea what will happen, if it will be successful in any capacity and I'm super pumped about it.
Back to working on my game! Curious what my subscribers would like to potentially see more/next, here's a few ideas I have- I want to move into VR or multiplayer very soon or even delay this boss further and roll one of those features into it. Multiplayer release I want to create a 'surrender to madness' competition-last man standing wins. Both VR and multiplayer will take a great deal of time to update the game. I've also been feeling a desire to get into the story gameplay as well; let me know what u guys want to see (or maybe even play???)
I make no promises to follow the poll; shit happens in both real life and development that I can't always predict!
I've been trying to keep an improved balance between the pixel world and the real one; that said I did a lot of spring cleaning in April and pinched a nerve in my neck and my right index finger is completely numb for two weeks with no improvement...so content on my channel is a bit delayed as a result; however, the passion still burns fiercely and you are always welcome to follow my twitter, twitch or join the project discord directly for more regular updates if u wish - although the YT releases tend to be the most polished experience if you choose to wait for that
FFXIV passes WoW in active players- I predicted another BFA 2.0; and here u go Happy to get my sanity back; not so happy for the big picture Don't expect a video on this; honestly I can't be bothered
