Masters of Death + Other Changes

Bensteam_community_announcements

515d ago

Hi all! A new update has been recently added to the game. This has been live for a while, but it seems we forgot to post an update, so here it is now:

Masters of Death DLC

3 mysterious ronin have travelled over from Japan and set up camp in a shrine in the desert, waiting to challenge the brave and the foolish alike. This DLC character/level pack contains new characters, each with their own fighting styles and special moves: Arashi: Summons a small storm cloud that fires lightning at nearby enemies and can stun enemies on impact. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/60639c695fa15f5830ce71b411fad019f2c14b5b.png Homura: Summons a ring of fire that can set nearby enemies ablaze. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/8be8280aab980017058a5f787fe6b20389a5e960.png Kinzoku: Summons a line of spears that emerge from the ground. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/e1313ef04bd20a6b7179a40bf60b5fc3f41ce38b.png Face the Masters of Death in a new level: The Desolate Desert! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/bc85a6e7c455cf436d7df485d02230c51ac51671.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/49b9a4856efd341d846c6e2b12133365db72d66a.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/65775816ed9e5a8c63c4e600dd62e2426def92e8.png Buy from the Steam page and the new level and characters will appear in your single player campaign (& other modes) as well as multiplayer.

Other Changes

Kicks have been adjusted to feel more reliable and powerful. This should be the case for full body tracking users as well as regular players.
If you are moving in your playspace, thumbstick movement will be reduced/disabled until you stop moving.
Auto lowers height if calibrated so that you are floating off the floor.
Added a "Character intro" option to the Mirror/Spectate view to zoom in on the opponent at the start of a round.
New CPU vs CPU (single) Mode - Choose 2 characters and a location to watch a custom fight.
Heads and feet now less wobbly on knockout.
Nerf to Fan Lin's shadow hands.
Multiplayer: Kicking player and switching host now take a few seconds and can be cancelled by pressing the button again.
Multiplayer: Can now add players as favorites, which will highlight games with your favorites in making it easier to play with people you like.
Multiplayer: Can now view a list of players in a game.
Fix: Water at dragon temple will now put out fire.
Extra Icon for Discord senseis.
Adjusted special modes > single fight to choose characters via the main menu, instead of character select room.
Increased the amount of enemies spawning in Co-op, Halloween special.
Fix to enemy spawn position in co-op, Vertigo.
Ip Ming-yu's Speed hands special move: Will receive less damage and knockback while doing it.
Multiplayer: Fix to not being able to mute yourself.
Some tweaks changed to auto muting of toxic chat.
Adjustment to health bars for characters with >100% health.

+ from the previous update:

Multiplayer: Default walk speed during a fight has been slowed down. This should help with some lag issues & hopefully make the general multiplayer fight experience better. You can still set it back to "Faster" in room settings.
Multiplayer: Custom PvP Mode - Can change some settings for PvP to fine tune your experience.
Multiplayer: New soccer pitches: Night and Rainy.
Multiplayer: New speed by distance option "Speed By Distance Effect" - if you like speed by distance but find it a bit too severe, you can adjust it with this option.
Fingertip Nerf: A change to reduce damage from accidental finger strikes/finger flicks. Intentional spear hand strikes will still do the same damage.
Fixes to rigging on Ling Hou and Mingxia.
Fixed random host swapping.
Fix to muting not always working.
Change to spawning locations in levels in multiplayer.
Discord icon added to button + button added to multiplayer rules.
Multiplayer: Added "Quit to Main menu" button on initial character choosing menu.
Multiplayer: Fix to mouths sometimes not moving when players talk.

Future Roadmap

We're nearing 5 years of development on this game now, but there is still more to do:

A character editor that we are excited about, should be ready for beta testing before too long.
More character/level DLC packs. Next one should be ready for late March, and intend to do at least 1 more after that.
Further down the line we plan to add a weapons mode with at least 27 weapons to use, but this is a big project so will take a bit of time.
Will continue to try and improve the game physics and the multiplayer experience.

Vertigo Mode & LIV Support

Bensteam_community_announcements

1445d ago

Vertigo Mode:

A new Single round game mode where you will fight opponents on a raised platform. All opponents will have full health, but you can quickly beat them by knocking them off the edge, while trying to stay on the platform yourself of course. There are some small platforms you can jump to with a few throwing weapons to assist you. I think this is a fun addition as it requires different tactics to the normal game and the height factor adds a bit of jeopardy. To unlock it you have to have landed 10 flying kicks throughout your dragon fist career. The special modes menu will show you how many you've got

LIV support

There were quite a few requests for this early on, but Ive always been a bit unsure about how it would fit with the game, but thanks to some help from the LIV team, it is in game and working now. Supports Mixed reality and Avatars to allow you to do some fun things to put in your videos/streams... Heres me experimenting with it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/c6427000151d2f1db5767ce6065841377dacd0af.gif But better results can be achieved via green screen I believe (i must get one...) but im impressed with its ability to remove the background via AI. Here is a clip of King Cosmotron playing using a scorpion avatar: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SxWBQHMRjqM

In progress

Have been laying down the groundwork for some other fun things in future. Including new characters and levels. Hopefully a character editor and hopefully multiplayer (to be confirmed). I'm excited to be doing some new content for the game. Let me know if there's a character/scene you would like to see, but try to keep it (at least loosely) within the theme of the game - chinese kung fu movies, or maybe more broadly: martial arts movies

Other changes

Main menu calibration - will now pop up and tell you the size its worked out for you and allow you to go to advanced calibrate from there. This is just to make it clearer whether its worked or not and allow you to change as I know some people have had trouble
Custom safety circle size - can fine tune the size of the safety circle in the advanced calibrate room
Can now smash the mirror
Some improvements to the Training chambers to make it clearer what you have to do
Some minor fixes

Full Body Tracking + New Music

Bensteam_community_announcements

1502d ago

Full Body Tracking is here!

I've wanted to add this from the start because I think if any game is a good fit for FBT it is Dragon Fist VR, and it was a fun, but difficulty thing to add. I wanted it to feel like a proper part of the game, not just an afterthought. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/adfaba13bd82b165c8810ef078e805f4777a2b50.gif To make it work you need 2 or 3 vive trackers (other options are available, but Ive only used vive trackers). 1 for each foot and an optional one for the waist. But also you need a setup that will support these trackers i.e. one some base stations/lighthouses Here is a page describing how to setup the trackers to work with the game: http://www.benoldinggames.co.uk/Dragon-Fist-VR-Full-Body-Tracking-Setup.htm ....or Here is a video tutorial on how to set it up: Once setup, you will be able to kick and will unlock a special "Full Body Training" room, with some stuff to kick in Make sure you warm up first! and keep all pets, children and ming vases well clear. Also consider using the safety circle to help keep you in the middle of your playspace.

New Music

Thanks to composer Leonard RR Cox, the game now has a main theme and some other more subtle tracks for some of the non combat sections (choosing level etc). The main theme was inspired by an iconic song from kung fu cinema and I imagine aficionados will already guess from that (no, not 'kung fu fighting'!) and I think really fits with the game

Other Changes

Custom Game - "Slo Mode" changed. Have changed this so that your special meter is replaced by a slow mo meter that decreases as your slow mo runs out. Is charged the same way as a special move. Makes the game much easier, but its pretty satisfying to fight in slow motion
Advanced Calibrate - Can now also adjust the floor height, but I would recommend you set it up properly outside the game if you can.
Lin Yong now has a voice and will encourage you in the practice room
Characters on secret levels now have voices
Cheats will now be remembers between sessions and it will ask you on start up whether to keep them on + a couple more options added to "Enemy Hinder"

Advanced Calibrate + a few other surprises...

Bensteam_community_announcements

1536d ago

Advanced Calibration Room

I have added a new room that can be accessed via a button the level select screen. In this room you can manually adjust your height, as well as arm length and controller alignment. This is so that you can get your character to more accurately match your body proportions if you so wish. I think I will also add a floor height option at a later time.

Safety Circle

This is an experimental feature, so use at your own risk... I know that in the heat of battle, sometimes the steam guardian or oculus/meta guardian can sometimes not be enough to stop you hitting a wall etc, so this feature will place a circle in the middle of your playspace to help keep you in the middle and will get more intrusive to closer to the edge of it that you get. There is also an option to just have a circle (less obnoxious), and to also show arrows to keep you facing forward. If you use this, please make sure you have plenty of arm swinging space when in the circle and also note: if using a quest 2 that it can move the steam centre if you switch it on/off. Can use the recentre option in steam to bring it back in line.

New Mini Game: Punching Pad

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/5b2fc0b238c6081c37bbf7f9bbd9206f6fa9d4be.gif Just a small thing, basically a game of whack-a-mole that you can play at the shaolin temple. Hit as many of the targets as you can within 30 seconds. Let me know if you have any other minigame ideas!

bHaptics

Now in addition to the Tactsuit (Vest), Tactal (Face) and Tactosy for feet, there is now also support for Tactosy for arms to help you feel blocks and strikes on your arms. I also added a few more effects to the feet for foot based special moves

Virtual Fighting Championship

In case you missed it: DFVR is in a bundle with another VR fighting game called Virtual Fighting Championship which features multiplayer. Check it out

New Secret Level

Its not *that* exciting, but still worth doing I think... Access via smashing the photo in the Wing Chun school. Don't forget there's another secret level you can get to by smashing the photo in the restaurant Also if you want access to the cheat menu, then come to the discord and ask and I will tell you how to access it I might add more secret levels later, as its fun. Someone suggested a fight against a bronze monk....

Other new features

YUR Fitness support - track calories burned while playing
wooden Dummy mini game now a bit more forgiving with kicks + increased the hand position changing a bit i.e. you can switch between fingers and fist quicker
Mirror View: Added the option to show health bars on screen
Special move tips - the first time you use each move it will explain how to use them in the fight. I added this because people weren't always going to the special move practice like I imagined.
Opponent Perks/Weaknesses shown at the start of the fight (not in all difficulty levels). So that you know whether to hit them in the ribs or jab them in the eye
Controllers now hidden with in spectate/out of body view
Custom game, added an option to adjust "Knockback"
Mirror View: Improved camera stabilizing
A bunch of small bug fixes and tweaks

Other news

Quest version is very close now, just ironing out a few kinks. Here are some screenshots... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/fd7e6459ace46bc894acbce99ffe21a134cf8afc.png Full Body Tracking is coming on. I have a few people helping test for me and its been pretty well received so far, but there are still a few calibration issues that I need to sort out. If interested in testing either of those (both private betas currently), then please come and join the discord. Also feel free to join if just want to say hello, discuss fighting tactics or kung fu movies. Discord link here: https://discord.com/invite/mQTws3m5FU

Left Handed Mode, bHaptics Vest Support, New Pressure Points

Bensteam_community_announcements

1599d ago

Hi All, Have just put up a new version (and new version of the Demo) with a few changes:

bHaptics Support: Tactsuit (Vest), Tactal (Face), Tactosy (Feet)

This is a fun addition for anyone lucky enough to own some bHaptics gear: You will be able to feel hits aswell as various other effects: The special moves often have different vibration effects, the healing wine one is my favourite I think, and you feel the shaolin finger jab go right through you. Also of course you can feel where you get hit as well as how hard which can be useful tactically as well as adding to immersion. The feet are more for preparation for the full body tracking which is still a work in progress, but if you use them now you will be able to feel footsteps and the kick impacts. I intend to do a bit more work on the feet to make the impacts more directional. To use any of the above, just have them switched on when you start the game. Note: Will also work in the demo

Other Changes:

Left Handed Mode - for all your southpaws out there: you can engage left handed mode by holding left trigger on the main menu for a few seconds, or via the options menu. It reversed the hands of the controls e.g. right thumbstick moves you instead of left, laser pointer gets swapped, special moves swap sides so that you can throw ninja stars etc with your left hand instead of right. There is also an option to have right handed controls, buy with left handed special moves.
After its been requested a few times, I have added pressure points to the kidneys as well as the back of the neck. To be honest I find them quite hard to hit, which is why I didn't add them originally, but that may be just down to how I play the game. The back of the neck does double damage and weakens them for a few seconds, whereas the kidneys cause extra 'pain' damage over time. Check them out in the practice room
Made some things clearer in the training chambers
Increased the snap turn angle - adjust this to your liking by changing 'turn speed' in the options menu
Added a sound volume option
Fixed a bug where Ting An's special was sometimes adding more "Can't walk" than it should have + I added a hand vibration effect if you try to walk while you cant, which should make it more obvious whats going on.
New Cheat Mode: Big Heads, its a bit silly but quite fun - ask me on discord if you want to know how to access cheats. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/885835362935668746/949403838077612062/unknown.png
Fixed an occasional error with the level picking screen when starting a new game
Updated the demo
Other small fixes

FAQs:

Quest version and Full body tracking still work in progress

Mirrors, Gongs and Fixes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39215399/1f67da286299b10ea39abb70908b364b59a3d86f.gif

Improved saving/loading hopefully made it more reliable for those who were having issues. If you still have problems, please get in touch via discord or email: [email protected]
Mirror in the level select/practice/general room - the reflection is a bit smaller than real life, and it looks like it comes out the mirror a bit, but I've enjoyed posing in it, feels strange looking in a mirror and seeing someone else look back
Gong in the level select/practice/general room with a pleasing sound effect on hit
Can now return to levels or start a new game from the Game Complete screen
Improved the Dragon Palms - better effects and hit effects
Can no longer be hurt while getting up
Can now see character faces on continue slot buttons
New experimental option to have the spectate camera visible (its like a floating box) so that you can look at it if you want
Some minor fixes and optimisations

In other news....

The Quest 2 version is coming along nicely, it plays/feels pretty similar to the steam game and I'm getting it to look pretty similar to, with a few bits that had to be cut back. There are currently a few bits in the game where it drops frame rate a bit: certain levels and especially if there is more than 1 opponent. I'm also not quite happy with the general colour of the game on quest. But progress is being made. I don't know when it will be released or whether it will be accepted by the oculus store or applab. But if interested come and join the discord and/or follow my youtube for updates. Discord: https://discord.com/invite/mQTws3m5FU YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvRirW8kZg-GAcRvd-uDp9g Full Body Tracking: Its been difficult, but am making decent progress: Ive managed to get it matching my legs quite well and able to turn out knees etc + made the feet stick to the floor a bit so that you don't get them going through the floor or wobbling. This also meant making a more advanced calibration where you can adjust arm length and leg length, so that might also be useful with the normal game. Thanks for the ideas suggested. I do think I will put in kidney pressure points, and maybe back of the neck. I think I will also try adding double press direction for dash.

Thanks

Thanks for the nice reviews and the continued enthusiasm, as well as the excellent videos and streams people have done, it really helps

Version 1.0.5

Bensteam_community_announcements

1661d ago

Hello all, I've just put a new version up today, here are the main features:

Mirror View Options

This is what ive been working on most this past couple of weeks and I am pretty pleased with the result. If you go to the options menu > mirror view. You have some settings there that will affect what appears on your computer screen (but not what you see on your headset). Its worth noting that having something different rendering can affect performance a bit, so if it feels slow, switch it off if not needed, or reduce quality a bit.

POV FOV - increase the field of view when in POV view
POV Stabilize - smooth out the wobbling you see when watching VR footage
Mirror Mode - Choose between: POV, Mixed, Moving, Side view, Behind View, Enemy POV, Static, Mixed will switch between the mode, hopefully showing on screen something that will resemble a fight scene out of a movie (your mileage may vary)
Mini POV - show the stabilized POV camera at the bottom left of the screen while other modes are showing in the main view

(See the video at the bottom of the post) A note with this: If you press the spectate button while a non POV view is showing, then the mirror camera will move to line up with your own and zoom in a bit - I did this so that if you want to talk to camera or do some cool pose or something, then you know that the "viewer" will be seeing something similar to you. Its not perfect yet (sometimes goes behind a wall, the zoomed in spectate cam button still seems to be a bit wobbly) but I think its pretty fun and I wanted to get it out there - I will continue to work on it

Realism Mode

Some people expressed a desire to have a way to do some more realistic martial arts fights without special moves etc. So I have added "Realism Mode" to the special modes on the main menu. It has:

No special move
No slow motion
Less effects e.g. no stars flying round their head when dazed. You will still get hit effects
Minimal UI - no healthbars, combo text etc flying about

Other Changes

Special move positions now a bit more forgiving
Healing wine nerfed a bit
Fixed a glitch on the Pimax and some WMR headsets that sometimes turned you round 180 degrees
Extra options for custom mode (switch U to minimal, switch off slow mo)
Few other small things
Tried to do a thing to make your character mouth move when you talk, but I don't think its working - let me know if you see it

I've got some vive trackers that I hope to experiment with over the weekend (should be fun), and next week I hope to try and add a left handed mode and try a few other things that I mentioned in my last post + things that players have suggested. I hope you like the new changes! and have a great weekend - Ben

Version 1.0.2

Bensteam_community_announcements

1685d ago

Thank you all!

Very pleased with the reviews, comments and videos Ive been seeing. Thank you so much. Its been a test of endurance making this game, and there's always more that could be done - so its such a relief to see people enjoying it.

Demo

For those that haven't got the game yet, I will be releasing a playable demo tomorrow featuring the training chambers and 2 opponents: Ling Hou & Onochi Takahashi

Valve index controller adjustments:

Now Detects fist based on finger positions rather than the amount of squeeze, so loose fists will now activate pressure points and get you through the chambers
Mr Timothy's move will now be activated properly by trigger
Moved the spectate button to B on the left controller to prevent accidental pressing when making fists. This replaces the quit/abandon fight shortcut, so use the pause menu to abandon instead

Other changes:

Calibration adjustments you will now be a bit bigger relative to your character so that arms will be a bit more outstretched when yours are, and your character will stand up straighter if you are. Let me know if you get any issues with short arms or standing on tip toes
Seated mode now available. Access via Options > VR in the options menu
Chi ball adjusted, now can launch it early by pushing forwards while its generating. But can still use the old volleyball technique if you generate it fully in front of your face. Also fixed an issue where it bounced off sometimes.
The full marks achievement should now work ok
Some minor errors fixed

Plans:

Here are some things I am thinking about for the near future that people have requested (or based on suggestions) + a few things I am thinking about. No promises for any of it other than I intend to look into doing them...

Oculus/Meta quest standalone version (95% done)
Full body/leg tracking - I hope to get some trackers in the new year
Bigger wrists - I know some of the wrists are thin an some people find that un-immersive, so I will see if I can make them a bit more realistic
"Realism mode"? was thinking of a mode without specials, slow mo and dashes. For those who are after a more realistic game. Custom mode covers a lot already, but maybe Realism could be available earlier - its an idea in progress
More stuff for youtubers/streamers - I might see if I can get the mouth moving when you talk, I might look into LIV support, and I might allow you to put your logo or something on a noticeboard
Spectator view and/or stabilised mirror view on screen
Maybe sneak in the one armed boxers and/or kurayami as opponents somewhere, maybe like a bonus/hidden round
Longer Term I want to try multiplayer both PvP and Coop, but don't know until I try whether it will work nicely with the physics and fast page
I have some other ideas that I will keep to myself for now but think could be great

And here is a video about how to use the chi ball + some changes to it:
