köpte det som julklapp till mig själv, det är väl okey, lite svårt att hitta kontrollerna fastän man är alldeles i närheten är min observation. imponerad av de som slår mig med flera timmar. hoppas på utveckling av främst multiplayer som väl fanns i de andra gamla spelen.

haha, ja, det kunde ju också autokorrigerats. Men som L skrev så står det för GPU - det vill säga grafikkretsarna. Det brukar vara så att grafikprestanda begränsas av grafikkortet, eller de integrerade grafikkretsarna oftare än processorn, CPU. Men det var för länge sedan jag programmerade och var ordentligt insatt så jag kan säga med säkerhet idag. Ofta brukar spel ha rekommenderade hårdvarukrav som både specar processor, arbetsminne, grafikkort och dess minne. Alla delar behöver komma upp över lägstanivån. Laptops har ofta helt ok processor om man inte snålat för mycket, men sällan bra grafikprestanda för spel - om man inte har en spellaptop.

Mycket snack om prestanda. Men hur bra är spelet? Är det lika grymt att spela som det ser ut? Är det någon som köpt det?

Och GPU betyder CPU?

För er som inte visste det är "K tigrerat" ett annat begrepp för integrerat...

Svar till inlägg av Kunnig, 2016-12-15 17:44:

Är det inte GPU kraven som sätter större begränsningar? Jag har bara datorer med K tigrerat grafikkort så jag gissar på att det inte funkar för mig. Så jag hoppas som Willy att någon kan testa spelet på en sämre dator och skriva intryck. Ni som köpt det, kan inte ni installera på en vanlig laptop och kolla om det funkar? Jag är också sugen på en spel-julklapp till mig själv.

Det är ett grafikkort men det duger gott och väl :)

Fungerar det med en Nvidia GTX 960m??

Svar till inlägg av Willy, 2016-12-07 18:19:

Det krävs en dator med relativt hög standrd. Rekommenderat minsta är en bra riktlinje. Har för mig det var 8Gb ram och intel core i5 2500.

Någon som vet hur de fungerar för Mac?

Någon med sämre dator som köpt och kollat hur det fungerar

Helt klart värt ett köp!

Så, spelet är ute nu. Några som redan har testat och kan ge recensioner? Är det värt ett köp? 40 euro bränns lite i fickan.

You can read map while running. Although there are some penalties for that. Map will bob (will be moving). And your running speed will be penalized. Of course actual values are just preliminary. And will be subjects of further tweaking.

Måns 2015-09-17 17:59 #8

A question after watching the video: Do you have to stand still while reading the map like the guy in the video does?

Thanks.

Of course it will work without VR stuff. In fact normal desktop version of simulator is top priority. Virtual reality is something that I'm taking care when making design decisions. But not top priority. It's experimental part of Virtual-O, like VR itself in actual state.

Definitely converions of OCAD maps is top priority. Random maps are nice. But reality looks most organic...
In actual state, editor is only for internal use. This is something that is still considered.

Multiplayer. Definitely offline mode similar to competitions in CF is planned.
Online multiplayer is something that really depends on players base size. So we will see. I don't want to promise something that I don't know now.

I'm really aware of social aspect in present world. So social features are something that is considered seriously.

I have a vision of some beginners mode that could make it's way into game. Something between geocaching and orienteering with social aspects. And I would like to take it as a mission of Virtual-O, to create some sort of marketing tool for newcomers. And something that will help with steep learning curve of orienteering for newcomers.

But this is concept that I'm only exploring now. Of course heres is a space for community ideas. And that's one of the reasons I'm posting on this forum :)

Nice day
Peter

Hi Peter,
Very impressive demo of the graphics! looks Very promising!

I hope it would work without vr-tools like oculus rift as well? Even though my son hope that I would buy a pair of oculus rift or HoloLens for him I don't think it is likely to happen anytime soon ;-)

I've been using Catching Features a bit last years mainly to get my kids to train their map reading and technic between normal orientering training. One thing I then have wished for is a better OCAD conversion - have you planed for this to be part of the concept, or is it more of pre-made maps that is the target?

Online gameplay? I have just falling into the trap of using a software called zwift to make my indoor cycling training more fun. The big difference from that concept to the virtual-o-concept is of course that your own effort is translated to how much you move in the game but the social aspect of that game is equally important to drag people back to the game. Translating it to virtual-o would be that you could see other runners at the same time in the game. Would be cool to organize a real event and see other runners live.

Good luck! Looking forward to playing beta versions and the final game later!

I cannot definitely answer this question. Engine that I use is compatible with samsung gear VR. So it could by supported. But I'm afraid if mobil is powerfull enough to support this kind of game. (at least only with some limitations of graphics quality).

So we will see. But if you are fan on VR. It could interest you that I own Perception Neuron kit (motion capture) and I have preordered Cyberith Virtualizer. Because I feel that this could be immersive experience for orienteering simulator. So i will definitely play with it.

Nice day
Peter

Edge 2015-09-16 23:14 #4

Will it be also be compatible with Samsung Gear VR?

Zerbembasqwibo 2015-09-16 22:20 #3

Looks good at first glance! Good luck with the project!

It's still in development. Probably few months from alpha phase (playable pilot map for selected volunteers). But I still wanted to go public now, because I would like to get in touch with community. And give community opportunity to shape the game and it's features.

So feel free to contact us on webpage (through contact form), facebook or twitter. Project is very open and hearing for opinion of players.
