Does this have audio? Can you hear the heartbeat?

3

@kenlem: It doesn’t at the moment as I wasn’t sure if this would be annoying, but it is easy to do so I’ll add it to the next version with an option to turn it on and off.

4

Very interested but would love to see a video of it an action first.

5

@UnleadedGames: That’s not a problem. I’ll put up a couple of videos for you.

How many drawcalls does this add?

7

This looks really nice! Cant wait to see a video of it.

8

I’m intrested too, but i need to see the video and some more details, like draw calls, how easy is to change it my way, a tutorial to add the asset…

“will that blood come too?”

9

@fholm
@fano_linux: Depending on what you set the heart rate to it will only add between 2 and 3 calls.

@Tapgames: Just looking at getting a video up soon for you to see it in action, but no unfortunately the blood doesn’t come with the package :slight_smile:

10

SketchWork: This makes it essentially useless for mobile tho, since 3 drawcalls (and also the “dot” I assume) is way to much to pay for such a small effect =(

11

@fholm: That does include the dot, but I’ll look at ways to maybe reduce this for mobile.

12

Bought and checked the source. You’re going to want to get rid of the call to instantiate for mobiles.

13

@kenlem: Thanks for the purchase and more importantly the feedback. I’ll look at adding some additional optimisations.

Thanks again.

@UnleadedGames
@Tapgames
@fano_linux: Added a demo video to the top post.

15

Package updated with some additional documentation.

16

Thank you for the video, would there be any reason this wouldn’t work in Unity 3.5.7 if I were to import it into Unity 4 then move it my Unity 3.5.7 project folder?

17

@UnleadedGames: There should be no reason at all. It only defaults to Unity 4 because that is what I exported it from, so should work perfectly :slight_smile:

18

I have added some mobile optimisation notes. For mobile users if you turn off the blip you can get the number of draw calls down to 1 to 2. I’m looking at getting this to just 1 for the next release for mobile users.

Have fun and happy new year everyone.

New version with full heart sound effects and flatline sound effect submitted to asset store. Waiting for approval :slight_smile:

Enjoy!

My only problem is that the rhythm strip is not a normal baseline, other than that its pretty cool. A heart beat monitor would show a P wave, QRS complex, and a T wave. Right now your player does not have a P wave, so no AV node depolarization. You also have a lot of noise or artifacts between the beats. The strip should be completely clean between beats, unless of course he has a heart block in which case he will need surgery or die.

Your normal sinus rhythm should look like this richacls.com

Dont forget, although your hear rate increases, there should be no change in the appearance of the lines. The only change would be that the beats would be closer together. Any variation in the beats would indicate a problem with the heart.
