Mount and Blade - Kinect?

[demize2010]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you guys would like to see Mount and Blade become Kinect enabled / augmented?

I've done a range of these from COD to Max Payne to Black and White and I have a feeling the M&B may be another perfect title to get going with.

See my youtube channel for my current vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/demize2010?feature=mhum

You may also remember a mod I did way back in version 0.93 - The Undying Lands http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,33838.0.html

Well slap my ass it's Demize. You should check the poll in your old thread. We want it back 

Anyway, Warband seems perfect for Kinect (not that I have any experience with it - or consoles in general).

Yeah, if you complete that mod, I'll steal babies for you.

Slowly but surely getting there... head tracking isn't working yet but I might just post up a video later to show progress.

It would involve a silly hat with a wiimote stuffed in it at the moment.

Sword swings are pretty much 1:1 though and raising your shield works well. I also have a nifty method of giving commands to your men XD

I would, but Kinect can't track me for some reason. On any Kinect setup.

Sword swings are 1:1? Do you mean within the existing 4-way attack system... or that you can freely move your arm about and the character matches you in game?

Hey guys,

So here is the proof of concept vid - note that the hat is temporary!

What are your thoughts? Is this worth taking further?

Nope it's not 1:1 in that sense, but the 4 way attack system has been mapped to as close and approximation as I can get it.
