Build a life-size tower with giant tetriminos in VR
This is the official repository for Polyslinger, a VR game about stacking 3D pieces like tetriminos inside a game area. The pieces are very large and are handled by tractor beams attached to each hand.
Me, Brrainz, invented Harmony 5 years ago to make my first RimWorld mod and since then Harmony is used in countless Unity mods either by a community adding it or by the game developers adding it officially (like in Oxygen Not Included). I have a large community of my own and it is time to start the next endeavor: my own game. Being me, this only can be a fully public and with full, first class mod support.
Originally, the plan was to release Polyslinger commercially on Steam but I think putting it up there for free and adding support for custom mods is the right thing to do. Hopefully this will attract other programmers and designers that want to skip the initial learning curve and are not in the position to put a game on steam (costs money etc).
Polyslinger is:
- forever free
- public source code
- community driven (guided by the creator to keep it going)
- built by the inventor of Harmony
- first class support for modding
- first class support for custom content loading
The project as it is now is a working but basic VR game. It is a one man project from the start but instead of focusing on struggling with content and introducing attractive extra features, easy modding will hopefully help to make this scale.
Points are awared by completing and collapsing a full layer of pieces and by handling pieces fast and with the least amount of contact points. There are different levels of increasing time constraints and several settings as well a few environments to choose from.
- make all methods, fields and elements public
- restructure methods for clarity and easier modding
- generalizing the hard coded parts
- adding a mod loading mechanism
- adding a modding UX
- adding a way to load assets from mods
- designing a hello world mod project for getting started fast
- documenting the games basic structure
Lot's to do!
