Beautiful Boids VR Game Jam 2019 Release


The office release for the Game Jam is out.

A VR GAME ABOUT BOIDS

They are ALIVE! Your BOIDs have taken flight from your rooftop LAB to cause mayhem on the town below!!!

Enjoy flocking.

Control your flock of Boids and Poop on anything you can hit.

Get rewarded for your flock control and aim.

CONTROLS

Pooping can be done by the left hand trigger or by pressing any thumbstick down like a button.

Flocks can be controlled with the white spheres projecting from your hands. The flocks will try to get close to the spheres as they fly. You can push the spheres away from you and pull them back in. You can place a sphere in one spot or have it track your pointers as your push and pull them out. The spheres can also be turned on and off which will cause the BOIDs to ignore or hunt them respectively.

The flock's formation can be adjusted with three weightsCohesion, Separation and Alignment. Each of these three weights has two sliders, one for distance and one for strength, The distance slider  will tell how far away a BOID can be before feeling the force of this weight. The strength slider will increase or decrease the force amount per weight. I mean it simple flocking boids!
