[LAUNCHING!] Twobit - a novel VR game

Update!
I am delighted to announce that the Gear VR version of Twobit has been approved for release on the Oculus Store! It will be available for free on October 19th 2016!

This is Twobit, a Unity VR experience/game that I’ve been working on. The game stars a little robot called Twobit who happens to be trapped in a strange room. He analyses the player’s field of vision (what he sees) and decides his next action solely based on this input. Simple commands can also be sent to him by nodding in agreement or by shaking in disagreement. This experience explores different ways to control characters in VR, as well as trying to build a relationship between them. It also features puzzle elements that ultimately lead the player to unravel the mysteries of this uncanny place.

I was initially only planning to keep Twobit as a tech demo, but all my friends and colleagues would tried the game on my GearVR loved it. So I decided to complete it and to soon release it.

Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you think, be it positive or negative :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I believe this may be the last development log video for Twobit, well, at least for this demo that is. All the puzzles are in place, tons of new environment elements and all the textures are finished. I also decided to add a ‘Twobit vision’ that allows you to see what Twobit sees, as long as he’s not rolled into a ball. The ultimate goal of the game is to figure out what to do to prevent a terrible event that happens after ten minutes - but I don’t want to spoil it here too much. I’m now packaging it for release on the Gear VR first and will submit it soon! Exciting!

I am pleased to announce that the release trailer for my VR game TWOBIT is out! I am now finishing to package the Gear VR version and will submit it to the Oculus store soon! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you think, be it positive or negative.

TWOBIT is a really unique VR puzzle-platform game - only using his or her sight, the player controls a little robot in a strange room and helps him approach problems and puzzles, and ultimately unravels the mysteries of this dark and enigmatic place.

TWOBIT will be first available for the Gear VR. Please visit http://www.squidbeamgames.com for updates and news.
