[APK] SteamCrew VR

Hello everyone! We are a 4 people team from Agharta Studio and Blackmuffin, we worked on EpicDragon VR for 2013's VR Jam.

Our game is called SteamCrew VR and it offers players to play as treasure hunters Captain' Karkass and Ida Steele, crew of pirate steam submarine Rocketshrimp.
On a quest for the magical gems of the darkest abysses, they will face both the mysterious guardians of Yyl and vicious rival pirate submarines!

Challengepost link!



SteamCrew VR is now available for download!

The game requires 2 Gears on the same WiFi network to play.
It's not yet possible to steer the sub playing solo, we are working on that.




INSTRUCTIONS

- Pilot's seat, is responsible for navigation, steam tanks positions are marked on the Gyro Ring. STEER the ship through gaze while HOLDING on the touchpad. SWIPE FORWARD to ACCELERATE. SWIPE BACKWARD to REVERSE, engine consume steam. Check the submarine's steam level and current consumption. Toggles LIGHTS on/off by TAPPING on the button. Turning it off saves steam. At the gunner's signal, TAPPING on handles to FIRE torpedoes or rocket.

- Gunners's seat, is responsible for observation. detects enemy positions by TAPPING on the Sonar's button. AIM and lead targets with the turret through gaze while HOLDING on the touchpad. Shoot the back of enemies to score Critical hits (x2 damage) SWIPE UPWARD to CLIMB. SWIPE DOWNWARD to DIVE. Check the submarine's steam level and current consumption. Use Gyro Ring ring to communicate enemy position to the Pilot.

The game requires a lot of teamwork, communication and coordination.
So far our record is around 600.000 🙂

We'll be posting an instructional video soon to explain the gameplay in a more pleasant way.

--- Original post content ---

The last jam was a very cool experience so we thought we'd enter this one!

The project will be running on Unity4; that's a big challenge for us since we have no prior Unity experience 🙂

I'll try to update this devblog is often as we can with bits of game design, visuals, screenshots and hopefully videos (once we manage to record stuff on the Gear! )

In the meantime, we wish everybody good luck and great fun 🙂

We've updated the APK, it should work fine now 🙂
The game closes after the gameover results screen, so you have to restart the game to play again.
It will be fixed after the jam.

Got a link to the APK? (want to make sure it's the new one and not the server lagging and showing the old one)

Thanks, hand another go and can see the new waiting screen but still fails to connect.
Both devices are connected to the same wifi and tested the connection with our game.
Any tips to get it running?

Damn! Thanks a lot for helping, we're trying to debug that, we tested it on another WiFi network and it was fine.

We start the server with Network.InitializeServer( 1, 15000, false ) and then broadcast/listen on port 15100 to make the connection, would you have any recommandations on any port we should use preferably?

I use the example code:

Network.InitializeServer(1,25000,!Network.HavePublicAddress);


But I also use the Unity Master Server:

MasterServer.RegisterHost(gameTypeID,"Game:"+gameID,"VR Rules!");


Which is not ideal as it requires internet access and you need to identify the correct server from the server list.

If you're interested I get the host list like this:


MasterServer.ClearHostList();
MasterServer.RequestHostList(gameTypeID);


Check for hosts like this:


function Update(){
if (MasterServer.PollHostList().Length != 0) {
Debug.Log("Servers Found: "+MasterServer.PollHostList().Length);
hostData = MasterServer.PollHostList();
MasterServer.ClearHostList();
}
}


And connect like this:

Network.Connect(hostData[0]);


As an emergency stop gap you can just auto connect to the first host in the list as soon as it appears.

Ok hopefully, the version we submitted works, we went from bar to bar our our area (and got a lot of amused looks from other patrons) to test if it was related to WiFi but we had no problems, maybe it was related to closed ports.

We did a quick tutorial video on how to play the game for both players 🙂

Wow thats great news! Thanks for the update and the kind words!
I'm playing all the entries, so many great ideas! We hope to settle in a nice spot but its looking very tough. I'm surprised to see so many coop games such as yours and mine, it's definitly a sign that VR will be a great social bonding experience!

Gonna finally relax tomorow and play some Neuralgia!
