I like the idea of the command blocks: you don’t write a code, but learn how it works. It didn’t have to be a VR game, by the way. I would love to play on PC or mobile. Overall, this is a great VR puzzle game.

Explore the past in VR - seek out and save some Dodo eggs, but beware of those eyes peering through the darkness. Somewhat educational, but also somewhat glitchy. Humans ruin everything.

I can’t believe that the game cost me $15. You can enjoy a lot lot better games with way cheaper price. Do not buy it if you cherish your money. I purchase this only because I wanted to find out why many people blame this game so much. I didn’t want to criticize this game before I actually play it to the end. Now I can, so here I start.

Story was fair enough, but not great. Personally I thought the story was ok. It’s probably the only positive part of this game, but there is little to spoil so I don’t understand why they asked for not streaming the later chapters. The puzzles during the game were too easy so it’s not even worth mentioning.

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.

Citizen of Rome - Dynasty Ascendant

Citizen of Rome - Dynasty Ascendant

I would not recommend the game. Seems to have been abandoned. And any feedback on historical inaccuracy of the game has been ignored. Visual style is fun and nice.

The reality is that it is a super addictive “mobile type” game. Which is why I have racked up so many hours in it. You can play it anywhere, at any time. And you can just open and close it. So it’s ideal for killing time while waiting for a stream to start, etc.

But. The fact remains. It’s woefully factually inaccurate. And for things that would be easy to fix, (e.g. Consuls could only run every 10 years, you can run every year in the game - women can have jobs that were exclusively for men, women can also go for education that was exclusively for men in ancient Rome). The only way to make any upward social mobility is through the annual betting activities. Which is quite a hack to be honest, because when you have played the game for as many hours as I have, you can actually tell which sequence of results you will be getting.

First impression:

This game needs a major fix. The randomness to it is out of control. Lazy programming seems to have just assigned ranges of behavior that consistently contradict your own strategy. Any game designed so that you can put in an hour of work only to have everything fall apart because of a dice roll is poorly designed. If I want to sit on my floor and roll a 10-sided die 400 times hoping to never roll a 1 lest I should become the book of Job, I can do that by getting a die out of my old box of Risk and wasting my time on hope.

Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmZKPozT1Hk

I’m sorry to say that this game is very unimpressive, regardless it being free. The instructions are on the steam page if you wish to find out how to play, therefore it jumps you right into the game. There is sooooo much wasted empty space. The matching eggs and so forth can easily be put into a simple smaller grid. The description describes like you can compete against someone, but If you can, I have no idea.

Renovate the building and remove all the trash, paint the walls, renovate the floors and ceilings, create an interior that will appeal to you and your future clients. Create a menu of dishes, hire employees, buy groceries, shape the style of your establishment, mood and order advertising from bloggers and the press.

We try to create a variety of possibilities in the game, so you won’t get bored! You will have to pay bills, extinguish fires, repair faulty equipment, poison cockroaches and other pests, hire security guards to keep homeless and drunkards out of the restaurant.

When you complete tasks, the level of your establishment will grow, and you will be able to expand it, complete additional premises, open the second floor and much more. What establishment will you open?
