After a troubled launch whereby promised features didn’t work (Text To Speech) meant I, as someone who is visually impaired, coild not use the game. Navigation was impossible.

Finally the issue is resolved and I can finally check out the game.

A game aimed squarely at the younger market telling a tale from both sides of the story. Text To Speech mean the menues are now accessible and the story is fully voiced. Some of the recordings were quieter than others, but overall a reasonable production.

What’s Wrong With You?

What’s Wrong With You?

“Whats Wrong With You?” is a derpy, little, cute round based Quiz-Battle-Royale Gameshow.

The Concept?

The game gives you multiple choice questions and the players have to answer..

Answer the Questions

..but in a way you woudlnt expect. Absolutely wrong!

Matching the game title, you have to find all the wrong answers of these questions.

You never know how many are incorrect. It can vary between 1 and 3 answers.

If that isnt hard enough, the difficulty of the questions varies.

Some are easy. Some are harder.

Be careful. Your life depends on your answers.

Lifepoints are Everything!

Foreach answer given, you get points.. or you lose some…

The more often you name all wrong answer, the more points you get.

If you give answers that you shouldnt name, you will lose em and it gets worse…

Drop below a certain limit and you are out of the game.

Gamemodes

Depending on the type of gamemode you, your friends, family members or twitch chat will have to show if you can beat the game in a certain way.

Everybody can be smart.. or simply lucky.. But only 1 person will win!

Classic Gamemodes

(1) Battle-(Royale)-Mode:

Everybody plays the same Question at the same time! The Last Man Standing wins!

(2) Duel-Mode:

A certain amount of players will get picked to play a question. This continues as long as players are remaining.

(3) Champion-Mode:

Everyone will fight on the same multiple choice questions at the same time.

However their goal is to be the first to reach a certain point limit.

Only 1 player will win!

(4) Score-Mode

Play alone & test your skill agaisnt 16 Questions in a row.

Practice, Get better OR drop out!

Party Gamemodes

(1) Tabletop-Mode:

Each point rewarded will let you move on a board forwards or backwards.

Who needs dices when your answers and special fields influence this game!

Reach the final field first and win!

(2) Escape-Mode:

Lava is rising! Answer questions and get points to move up the tower first.

But be careful.. Losing points will move you down again. You dont want to face the heat there!

(3) Boss-Mode:

Its one brain against up to 63 other brains teamed together!

Is the Boss as smart as he seems to be or will the brain-swarm will that battle?

(4) Knockout-Mode:

Its roundbased and not question-based!

Questions get grouped into packages of 5 and build a round!

At the end of each round the worst few % get eliminated!

Who will be the last man standing?

(5) Chain-Mode

Up to 16 Players play sequential one after one!

Starting at the first one going to the next one with each question.

If a player gets negative points, the chain is broken and the player is eliminated!

How many will get eliminated before the chain reaches its limit?

And if these gamemodes dont sound promising… We have more!

Items

These will influence the game! Either by shielding, healing, damaging oder creating pure chaos on the game!

They will get dropped to the players every so often.

Who are the players?

Well you! And some AI!

But i mean… The Characters are simply pixelart characters that have sharp edges along with a lot of customizations.

About 4 billion different combinations are possible in this game!

And the amount of cosmetics will increase!

But to use them, you need to unlock them!

Level Up!

Each game you play brings you XP!

If you get XP, you get level ups!

And each level up brings you a reward.

Reards can be Items, Maps, Customizations, Gamemodes, etc..

Its as simply as that.

And for the people who want to have more..

The Challenge System

Between 15 and 25 Monthly Challenges await you!

Chose your next challenge, do it and get a nice reward afterwards!

Earn special rewards or even Neurocoins

What are Neurocoins?

Its the ingame currency for the small ingame shop.

There you can buy Characters, Cosmetics, Items, Maps & more.

This currency is only earnable by playing the game.

So whatever you do, you have a lot to do!

And dont forget! Whatever you do..

THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS… except in this game.

My Universe - School Teacher

_Now let’s talk about the bad stuff.

Judging by the time (wasted) I spent in this game, the developer should already be paying me a pension. The game is boring, uninteresting and there is a broken achievement in it, which cannot be obtained in any way through the fault of the developers. I could only praise this game as a f2p game for mobile devices. But they sell a broken and low-quality product for such a high price. Seriously?!_

Nurbits

Nurbits

This game is weird, and that is awesome.

The concept of ‘puzzle’ in this game is the one of ‘optimization,’ because if you stitch here and there not really knowing what you are doing you can easily beat the first few levels of the game, but it becomes clear that you have to be more precise and intuitive if you want to get those three star ratings and finish the game! I definitely recommend this to people who are more used to puzzle games, but if you are looking for the most difficult of challenges, this may not be you…

very good. a tad confusing sometimes, but overall an enjoyable game.

good for those who like music and robots

Food Decisions

Food Decisions

The main gameplay is to compare the values and select the food needed for the task. Generally speaking, this game is boring, but it taught me a lot of common sense. Let me realize the importance of healthy diet. With that in mind, I decided to give a good review.

DLC information

These won’t be shown to your opponent (if they are using VR) but are fully available to you.

Feature requests

Any cool ideas or integration requests? Tell us! We are very open to ideas!

Will a non-VR version be available?

As of right now, there is no plan. Although there is code implemented for debugging without using a VR headset, one of this project’s goals is to bring emphasis to OTB chess and add a meaningful and replayable VR game to your library. We don’t want to downplay the VR in this game by offering a non-VR option. Furthermore, there are already several very well accomplished 2D options of the game.

Release date information

Originally planned for December 2020, but now the plan is around may-august 2021. We feel very safe about these range dates to release the game as actually, the gameplay is quite very well polished, and most original features for release are ready. However, further advertisement, artwork, and environmental polishment seem in order before release. The actual feature list is much longer than described, and the planned feature list is even much longer. Due to the almost pure focus of the client, server, integration of third-party services, game mechanics, and aesthetics development, almost nothing has been done on artwork and advertisement until now.

Want to help?

We would gladly accept any free help you can offer! Especially artwork and advertisement ;)

Author personal notes

Yes, 2D digital chess is incredible and offers very convenient playability/portability. However, 2D digital chess doesn’t 100% translate your skills to OTB chess, nor OTB is efficient as training on 2D digital chess.

Chessality is probably not a true replacement for over-the-board chess nor a true upgrade from 2D digital chess, but just another way to play the game. I will try to offer as much functionality and realism for true hard-core OTB players and offer the convenience of the digital world to more casual players while trying to keep the core values of chess to the best of my abilities as a human.

Mocap Fusion [ VR ]

Mocap Fusion [ VR ]

Motion Capture Fusion [VR] is an immersive roomscale mocap sandbox for artists and animators who wish to create and export motion capture animations_, or create live content_, using conventional VR hardware. With as little as a single VR HMD and two controllers users may create mocap on their own avatars. Advanced users may create more detailed motion capture including full body tracking and can be combined with other sensors (eg. Apple IPhone Truedepth sensor and Oculus Quest 2 optical finger tracking) to connect avatars to simultaneous inputs. This fusion of multiple sensor can combine many layers of motion capture in a single take; including: full body tracking, face capture, lipsync, gaze tracking, optical finger tracking.

Highlights

The term “getting into character” may apply here as literally connecting one’s self to an avatar as completely as possible and seeing them selves in a (VR) mirror while acting out a script.

Users may include their own completely custom characters (avatars) and use the same avatar throughout the production workflow. This eliminates the need for retargeting and ensures the mocap data always fits 1:1 without causing any offsets in the final results.

One of the unique features of Mocap Fusion is that it has the ability to export motion capture data and reconstruct the scene in Blender, making it available for final rendering in minutes .

Compatible Headsets (VR HMDs)

  • Valve Index

  • HTC Vive (and Vive Pro Eye).

  • Oculus Quest (1 and 2).

Optional Tracking Hardware

  • SteamVR Vive trackers.

  • IPhone Truedepth sensor (facecap and eye tracking).

  • Oculus Quest 2 (full optical finger tracking).

Capabilities

  • Export mocap and create scenes in Blender™ instantly.

  • HTC™ Vive Trackers (Up to 11 optional points) full body tracking.

  • Ability to record, playback, pause, slomo, scrub mocap in VR.

  • Customizable IK profiles and avatar parameters.

  • SteamVR Knuckles support for individual finger articulation.

  • Quest 2 optical finger tracking app for individual finger articulation and finger separation.

  • Vive Pro Eye blink and gaze tracking support.

  • Sidekick IOS Face capture app (Truedepth markerless AR facial tracking).

  • User customizable Worlds, Avatar and Props may be built for mocap using the APS_SDK.

  • Compatible with existing Unity3D™ avatars and environments.

  • Supports custom shaders on mocap avatars.

  • DynamicBone support for adding hair, clothing and body physics simulation to avatars.

  • Breathing simulation for added chest animation.

  • Add/Record/Export VR Cameras for realistic camera mocap (eg. VR Cameraman effect).

  • Optimization for exporting mocap (.bvh) data to Daz 3D.

  • Placement of “streaming” cameras for livestreaming avatars to OBS or as desktop overlays.

  • Microphone audio recording with lip-sync visemes and recordable jaw bone rotation.

  • Storyboard mode, save mocap experiences as pages for replaying or editing later.

  • Animatic video player, display stories and scripts, choreograph movement.

  • Dual-handed weapon IK solvers for natural handling of carbines.

  • Recordable VTOL platform for animating helicopter flight simulation (eg. news choppers).

  • VR Camcorders and VR selfie cams may be rigidly linked to trackers.

  • VR props and firearms may be rigidly linked to trackers.

  • Ghost curves for visualizing the future locations of multiple avatars in a scene.

Gameplay

The experience depends on the user’s PC and the tracking hardware used. The recommended SteamVR headsets are the Valve Index or the HTC Vive. A Quest HMD may also produce reasonable results. It is also possible to use the software without an HMD (eg. when livestreaming). Full body tracking is only available when using feet and hip trackers (and optional elbows, knees, chest). Users may achieve more realistic tracking results when using body trackers. Body trackers are optional and standing mocap is supported. Further realism my be achieved on compatible avatars by also enabling face capture or using a Vive Pro Eye for gaze and blink tracking.

History

Originally this was designed as an intuitive way for users to create virtual training videos and presentation in an immersive VR environment for added realism and then export their animation for rendering. The project was made available to a community for beta testing and since has received feedback and many feature requests which has helped add to the utility of the software for a verity of different creators.

Nihongo Heroes

Nihongo Heroes

coming from someone that is N5 qualified and working on N4

1 its a good game

2 please dont give the answers for the vocabulary for EX the vocab at the top is written as blue/ao – stomach/i – train station/eki i think having the answer for the vocab is taking away from learning the word

3 all the monsters make the same sound when you kill them

its a good over all game my main complaint is the vocab giving the answers

– Real player with 1.1 hrs in game

This is one one of many games/resources I have for learning and practicing Nihongo. I ran through the first three levels and am impressed. What is great is that it does not use one consistent font for the kana - because they do look different to the untrained eye, as do any letters in a particular “font.” This adds a level of flexibility to the process of learning which is useful when some kana bear resemblance to others in different scripts.

I played about five hours of Japanese learning games today, between mobile and steam. This one was the last one of the night, and the perfect end to a educational night!
