Reverence: FPS Melee with Full Control of your Movement

[falonso]

Almost 2 years ago, I posted here to get feedback on my prototype for a fps melee concept where you have total control of your arm movement (TACMA). Now after a lot of hard work I just launched the Kickstarter for Reverence: The Ultimate Combat Experience, with a system to offer complete control intuitively. Please check out the video and let me know what you think: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1773037999/reverence-the-ultimate-combat-experience

I'd be happy to answer any questions too!

This was the first dev video to show total arm control:

Your mouth moving whilst talking was great.

 

[falonso]

haha thanks. Should make VOIP more interesting

 

[Sir Prince]

Im too druin k for this ****. but it looks neat I guess? Best ofl uck.

 

[falonso]

I appreciate it, even if you are drunk! Physics based parrying might be fun to check out too:

 

[Vraelomon]

Holy Crap that looks great 

 

[Sir Prince]

That looks really neat.  Rough, but neat.

 

[falonso]

Thanks! I'm currently the only developer, so it's about as indie as you get. If funded I would look to grow the team and polish everything. Overall, it's just a concept that I always wanted to be realized.

falonso u will be made a rich with this 

 

[falonso]

That would be nice haha, I think the concept resonates with a lot of people that also always wanted to have a melee game that worked this way. I really appreciate all the positive feedback! I'm a one man dev team so I'm trying my best to get the word out.

That does look pretty damn neat! How are you actually controlling the arm? I mean what input device do you use to move the 3 joints of the arm?

 

[Cordor]

I know this is an alpha and you are doing this by yourself, but it would be nice if you could add some kinda of stance pose for the characters, instead of him just standing up straight. Other than that it looks awesome

 

[Vraelomon]

You should post those other videos as well. Like the ones covering everything in the post above me.

 

[Pilum]

Looks interesting.

Are you using a control device similar to the "Stem" system?

 

[Wellenbrecher]

Is this any, and if so how is it different from the equally cool and horrible system in Die by the Sword?

 

[Cookie Eating Huskarl]

Better integration with modern devices would be one

 

[Vovolov]

I think full arm control won't add anything (but frustration) if you're going for a serious combat game. If it adds anything, it's hilariousness, like QWOP.

 

[Wellenbrecher]

We should play DbtS MP at some point, Sheep, just so you can see how ridiculous fun it can be.
At times and in the right setting, granted

I remember playing with Raz and this American fellow whose name escapes me. Not Fooshie, but some other yank who was around a lot in 2008. I cut off both their weapon arms as the sword piggie and then spent the rest of the round chasing them and whacking at them with their own arms. Jolly good fun.
