Been MIA for a while, but I'm back now. Here's some work in progress on a boss fight for GrindForce!

@benz145 I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but The Under Presents implementation of immersive theater and their unique locomotion system.

Very innovative folks.

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@BattleAxeVR That's alright! The controls have been an iterative process to improve over time, and I'll take those learnings over into my next (current) game.

@CixLiv @benz145 Glad you like it!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@BattleAxeVR @RedFlowersVR @StrideVR Great work there. Head-orientated locomotion always felt a bit lacking.

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

Stride has one of the most prominent and fleshed-out fast movement systems in VR, and this looks like it's built on top of that system with a unique new flare to it. Loving the slice-movement and the katana grinding against objects is satisfying.

JoyWay are a talented bunch.

@RedFlowersVR @StrideVR Sometimes a spinoff to truly flesh out an idea is the right call. Looks very good from where I'm standing!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@kevinfinalbosu @benz145 Thanks! Sadly I am a very shy person - I'm a mute in VRChat. So I don't think I would be able to do a podcast, but I do appreciate the offer.

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@Joris_Bos Thanks. Sunset Overdrive was an inspiration for me. Really enjoyed the flow of movement in combination with the shooting.

@TonyDemetriou13 @benz145 Yep! Definitely hard to get more literal than this.

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@RuckUpVR @benz145 Thanks. Having full creative control as a solo dev is great!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@benz145 Thanks Ben. I had a feeling you'd find it interesting. You're always talking about making use of the unique design language of VR. In this case, it's really the locomotion system and tying it to physical gestures.

Glad I wasn't wrong to think so!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@Ryan_Zarzaur @benz145 Appreciate it, thanks!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

A robo-shark chase. Bring out the big guns!

@VenclaireVR Thanks Venclaire!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

A new enemy in Grind Force - the Blade Vortex, which can zoom towards you at fast speeds and keep on your tail.

And watch out for turrets!

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

@LuismiLorente Glad you like it! Sunset Overdrive and Jet Set Radio were inspirations for me, as was Infamous 2 funnily enough - really enjoyed the rail grinding in that game.

[BlueberryBandit @BlueberryVRDev]

A new teleporting enemy type in Grind Force that requires a fast aim!
