Warrior armor and small playspace levels in latest prototype update! (0.0.10P) (Patreon)

What's up!

Latest update is out on Steam today. We've got some new game design mechanics for you to try out.

Warrior Armor as Health Indicator

The warrior's health system is now visualized with armor.

As the warrior gets hit, pieces of the armor will drop off, reflecting their health. When the warrior has no armor left on their body, they will be killed on the next hit. 

Small Playspace Level Mechanics

Many of the new prototype levels work best with larger places that allow the VR player to walk around. Locomotion systems have been considered, but each has their downsides when it comes to immersion, nausea, etc. We're working on a few ideas to allow the giant to close the distance between themselves and the warrior, and make the game suitable for standing-only playspaces.

Giant can rotate level.
For example, we have a rotating Disc of Death that the giant can grab and spin. This level is listed as Experiments_RotatableLevel.

Lava giant can duck under level.

This is a new teleportation mechanic. In a lava arena, the VR player can duck their head under the lava, and will rise to appear on the other side of the stage. Check out Experiment_DuckToTeleport.

Also, hugely important, birds now sing! The most consequential experiment of all. Someone update the bird-facts bot on Discord.

As always, let us know what you think in the comments or on Discord! 

Cheers,
-The Davicrew

• New map: Experiment_LevelRotation! The main play area for this level is a huge, rotating disc. Grab and spin it as the Giant to pull the Warrior towards yourself!

• New feature: Armor! When using Warrior health, there is now the option to have health be represented by physical armor pieces, rather than a floating health bar.
• Birds will now periodically sing.
• Fixed a bug where the Warrior would sometimes recover while mid air, or just while being dropped by the Giant.
• Fixed a bug where, when using Warrior armor, the Warrior would not respawn with all their armor pieces after death.
• Fixed a bug where the Warrior would get ragdoll''d when running over small objects, such as the tree trunk pieces.
