The Assembly Sets Its Sights on EGX – September 2, 2015
The Assembly Is Re-Engineered – June 5, 2015

According to nDreams, one of the biggest problems with VR game design is delivering free movement without making people feel nauseous, dizzy, disoriented, nuts, etc. Research has revealed that 40%-50% of VR players are “uncomfortable” when using dual-analog controls. Cleaning up after them is no fun, either.

nDreams has decided to try to solve this problem and deliver games that realize the VR dream for everyone possible.

In the following EGX Developer Session, nDreams founder Patrick O’Luanaigh discusses the challenge of creating games for VR.

The Assembly, which is being developed exclusively for VR, will next be featured at London’s EGX Rezzed on April 7-9, 2016. The game will be released on Project Morpheus (PS4), Oculus Rift (PC/Windows) and HTC Vive (Steam VR) at a date TBD.

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
