Description You are sitting behind a desk holding the control buttons on your keyboard. All you have to do to win is: "Don't Let GO". The game will try to scare, shock and otherwise persuade you to let go!
It's supposed to be scary, so don't try this unless you like to be scared 😮 Please play with headphones, all feedback is welcome.
The reason I chose this concept is because I wanted to make something that could help me get over my VR sickness. I wanted to make a game with as little disconnect between me and my Virtual Presence. So I made a game where you sit still in a chair 🙂
It's a whacky concept, but I had a lot of fun building this! Really honored to be a finalist in the jam too!
Well, that was kinda fun. The world scale is off, it's really too large.
The bees weren't scary, but I think if the numbers were more vast, say, five thousands, and they were all surrounfing you violently, then it could be scary I guess.
The raptor wasn't scary at all, it was a cute huge plastic Jurassic Park movie prop. I guess if you could give it better animation (and better "right in your face" effect) then it could do the trick. It would really help if it would blow some spit while roaring, and if the roar was louder, too. Could be pretty scary if it tried to bite you, but I dunno.
The knives - well, I didn't really noticed it when they fell because I was looking elsewhere, so yeah.
Spider - it wasn't scary as well, it was a little creepy when it walked up my shoulder and started to scratch behind my ears. I think giant centipedes are creepier in this aspect. Also the scutigera coleoptrata and solifugae - big time arthropod freaks, are scary and creepy allright as they are, but you can as well appropriately oversize them to give them even more zazz. It could be really creepy if it crawled right out the screen rather than from behind of it.
Then there was knives spinning around - it was pretty creepy, the moment the lights went out was frightening. I think if knives stopped and turned to you for split second before it, the effect would be far greater.
And then YOU BASTARD that was really creepy and sudden, and you did used the marker to catch my attention the right way (should do the same with your knives, maybe display something on the screen) but I still won this "don't let go" game. 😄
Since my computer doesn't have an HDMI or DVI port on it,all I have been able to do is listen to the sound and my gosh,the spiders scared me half to death.................good job,I give it a 5/5 and hopefully I can get an adapter tomorrow and enjoy this to the fullest extent. 😄
Agreed, world scale/arms are still too large. Even with new version that was "fixed" I tried setting ipd insanely high to 100mm and it still only shrunk the arm scale down a tiny bit. The dev must have really wide eye spacing or something.. perhaps it looks the correct size to him. Please try to fix again, because it breaks the immersion.
Thanks for the feedback on the scale issues. I havn't done any development since the VR-Jam, so there is no "fixed"version. I've quickly looked into the issue before but havn't seen anything which could explain this. My ipd is actually below 64 mm so it's not that. :lol:
If I ever get back to this project I'll look into it properly!
No problem, I actually solved the issue. Here is a solution for people having trouble with the scale being off:
Go to "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Oculus"
open the Profiles.json file with notepad (this is where config utility stores data)
Change the line "IPD": to 0.200000 for your profile and save.. and run the game. Remember your old settings! The config utility only lets you go up to 100mm so this will allow you to go higher which will shrink the scaling even further.
The scaling will now be correct for the arms for if you have 64mm ipd like I do, but when you are done change it back because all other demos will be messed up. This is only for don't let go.
Unfortunately I am experiencing problems with drift now, and have already done the magnetic calibration. Perhaps if we could make spacebar the button to push to reset orientation during gameplay? So we don't have to let go of the ctrl keys?
as a side note.. This is a great experience, thank you for making it!
Something that is a major fear starter for many people are creepy clowns put one of those in and you could probably have people screaming there heads of. add some creepy music and maybe like computer glitches and stuff and you can have one good horror or scary game
For some reason my game always crashes at the same time in the dinosaur bit. It always says I've lost even though I haven't taken my fingers of the keys. I have tried many, many times over the past couple months trying lots of compatibility settings, and trying ctrl, alt and shift. This is really annoying as it looks like such a great game. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem or know how to fix it?
