Saber VR - A sci fi sword fighting game for vive

Since I got my vive I have been in love with it but sad there are so few good experiences. I set about creating one that didn’t exist but I wish did.

Ingame video

Here are a few videos to give you an idea:

A video of the sword slashing spheres (soon to be bad guys)

A video of the sword deflecting lasers

Here is the shield deflecting lasers

And the sword transforming from sword to shield and back

There are several gamemodes:
-Puzzle: Set waves of droids that come flying at you
-Master: Droids say out of reach and you have to destroy deflecting them back at them.
-Ninja: lights totally off and you have to listen to the engines of the droids to kill them when close (you get a flash of light when you make contact so you can see you destroying it

If popular I also plan to add a level mode with levels you have to teleport through.

Love to hear what people think of this, or if anyone is actually interested.

And here is a video for those who don’t want to click the twitter links (or those who have and want to see me killing bots)

I really liked how the spark effect happened before you intentionally sliced the sphere. It made me think of someone accidentally cutting through something with a laser sword or cutting torch. Good stuff.

I got the sense of Luke training with the light saber on the milenium falcon. Not sure if thats the ‘feeling’ your attempting to envoke - but thats what I got from the video.

It is fair to say I am heavily inspired/influenced by that. There are some pretty significant differences like the sword convents to a shield whenever you want.

If you don’t don’t slice with enough force it just pushes the object and sparks.

Basically I made the game I wanted to play on the vive. I actually have fun playing it myself and finding ways to randomise the waves so I don’t 100% know what is coming. It is especially fun when you have swords in both hands!

Here is an ingame video with the sword placeholder replaced with actual sword
