Been working on this in my spare time. Long way to go... Going to blog in various forums to keep me motivated to finish it. Not sure what to call it but it's a Hotline Miami inspired VR shooter.  |

vr increases player immersion but the concept of a duck either completing medical school or doctoral level postgraduate study breaks immersion. overall this game is currently breaking even on immersion. good luck.

Thanks Superb Joe! You know what... I reckon the name sucks too. Just not sure what to name this bad boy. Open for ideas. |

i don't think the name is necessarily bad i was just making conversation. as with babies, a name will come to you when it takes form, and hopefully before it starts pissing and shitting everywhere and demanding a drastic and immediate restructuring of your life.

Thought long and hard what Superb Joe said. I wasn't feeling the name the Dr. Lucky Duck. Changed the name and tweaked the style. I think I need to increase my productivity...  |

Amongst other things, I've implemented kick today. I think I've done enough experimentation with VR to see what works and what doesn't to start picking up pace. VR dev is quite the beast... https://i.imgur.com/dNQ0RiI.mp4 |

Spent some time optimizing the content. It's very easy for things to get out of hand in UE4. Cleaned up my Blueprints to not reference any other blueprints, utilized Async loading and pooled projectiles and emitters.
Next round of work will be for AI and get the gore to be a little more like Brutal Doom.

Got a large chunk of the AI rewrite done. I've pretty much implemented http://dennaton.blogspot.com/2012/11/hotline-miami-ai.html except for melee which I started today.  Can't get melee to feel at home in VR. It's too janky for my liking. I need to move on so the player just gets a stabby stabby knife and the AI can be axe murderers.  |

Took a break from AI coding. Converted some computer terminal models for the game.  |

Been pretty quiet lately. Been working on the AI the framework and a new AI type - TechCultist. Next round of work will be tweaking some mechanics. After that... time to start the main gameplay loop...  |

Been working on the gameplay loop around bullet time. I've wanted some sort of bullet time since the beginning to give the player a fighting chance. I've been experimenting with a bunch of them. For example just slowing down the bullets for a brief period of time and then accelerating back to normal speed. In practice it all these experiments have fallen flat. Really flat. I think I'm over thinking it... I'm just going to go all Max Payne with a global bullet time coupled with a meter and go from there. That always feels awesome in VR. I'll worrying about nerfing it later. Having a fun feel good experience is more important. failed experiment |

With the recent announcement that the Rift lineup will be discontinued I thought long and hard about moving this project to PC. I'm not really in the mood for paying 1k for the Index and I don't have Quest Developer status. A few people reached out to me to at least apply. So that's what I've done. This project is now a leaf in the wind. It either blows over to the Quest or PC. I really enjoy developing on the VR platform and would return to it in the future.  |

Although I didn't make it as an Oculus Quest game I was encouraged to join Oculus Start. Decided to go with it as the developer program looks very good. First cut is still going to be a VR game   |

A bunch of people want a Jacket like character that's basically an average Joe (feedback from a Reddit thread). I feel I've leaned way too heavily on the source material to the point it's creatively bankrupt. Any ideas to spice up the concept? Might just move on for now. Got a couple more game play elements to touch on and then I can start putting the bits and pieces together.  |

The last character was a bit too much like Jacket. This one isn't rough enough. Getting there.  |
