Project Torus - Multi-Platform VR Game - General Topics

Hello all,
I am running a Kickstarter campaign for a game that I am developing called Project Torus.
Project Torus is a 360-degree first-person shooter experience designed for VR. It is a fast-paced title that takes inspiration from the likes of classics such as Space Invaders and Asteroids. Players control a gun turret centered in a round stadium and must destory a UFO that drops health-draining orbs. The camera is controlled using the given HMD’s head-tracking technology and use one button to fire. Standard versions of the title will also let you play with a mouse on PC or by moving a smartphone around with the mobile version.
So, if you are into VR on your Android device, you might get a kick out of this game. If you are not into VR, the game will function in Standard mode as well. Either way, the game is a load of fun and folks are really getting a kick out of it.

Cool, thanks. I was hoping that the Android community would get a kick out of this.

Sorry, but kickstarter and other crowd funding announcements should not be posted on xda.

Backbreaker 2: Vengeance

Any NFL fans out there? I've been (im)patiently waiting for Madden to be released, but got a nice surprise from my daily market check today - Backbreaker 2: Vengeance has just been released as a Play exclusive
First impressions after 10 mins play, loving it large Excellent graphics, zero lag, heaps of fun to play... and the controls on this puppy just make games like this rock I played this before on my old iPhone and I loved it but it was frustrating with the onscreen controls (yuck).
The Play is the best phone on the planet, bar none

Rugby with pads n helmets lol
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Lol, yeah a very under appreciated sport outside of the states. I just got hooked on it this year myself, weirdly I hate rugby. Prob cuz I had to play it in school
Highly complex, super athletes, massively entertaining... and the only sport where they openly have one goal in mind... kill the ball carrier. Never mind the pads & the helmets, this is a sport where real injuries are every game Those crunching tackles are what most of us won't admit we all love to watch lol.
Anyway, go play the game. The replays are ultra cool on the new tackling module end of the game. Go break the runner in half
American Football originated from Football(Soccer) and Rugby.
That's why American's call it Football, even though you play it with your hands.

Maybe the first one will work
I'm a fan of soccer (soccer is an english made name for football that the americans adopted - it comes from association football, was to differentiate itself from rugby football, aussie rules, gaelic etc.) I also love Rugby and am a massive fan of american football.
The massive misconception is that its rugby with pads - you dont get off the ball hits in rugby and most of the hits and braced for and expected
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7CZ_RgcJxk
Its also a much more tactical and strategic game than both rugby and football. Football/rugby are about stamina and endurance, keeping going without any breaks, the nfl is all out every second they are playing for with a short rest between plays.
Whilst the advertising is awesome during the superbowl there are much more creative parts to the game - the whole player system and drafting part is much better in the NFL (and all US sports) than it is with rugby and football. Creativity is all part of the game.
Anyway back on topic - I love backbreaker, played the first and now the second, I feel they could make a whole game from it and not just the 'mini' game type feel it has. Would be great if you could play a full game against opponents similar to madden superstar perhaps.
Madden is great on the X Play - not very long, only one season and far too easy even on hard but potential. The apk is floating around somewhere on these forums

Exactly, and pads allow players to give more massive hits - which the pads do little when it comes to the actual force absorbed by the body.
I love the strategy and mind games, and the HITS

Lol who was you playing with your little sister (joke). American football is an ok game, too boring to watch but ok to play imo.
Rugby and football are in a different league, its all about how the game flows but I suppose its all a matter of opinion.
Best sport to come from America is the ufc now there is a game I could do with on my play or fight night would be good.
P.s. Sorry for going off topic

English games have their merits and so do american sports - they are more like cricket, its a well paced game all about strategy and timings. Football and rugby are about stamina. They are in different leagues but parallel to each other.
And about the little sister joke, I find it hard to watch professional football for all the rolling around when someone gets close to them! Seems like they are the ones that are acting like girls!

[GAME] Android Wars Project

Hello Guy
I have being working this last 5 months in a game inspired heavily in the Advanced Wars series. I wanted to create a turn based strategy game as rich or even more than AW, with more types of terrain and units. As i really dont like spending on apps I will make this game free to play. As of now, the state in the game is still in development but I am expecting it finish it by the end of the summer.
For this game I had a series of goals:
-Fun (obviously)
-Scalable, support for small maps or huge big maps
-Customizable
-Multiplayer
-Intuitive control
By the state the game is now all of this goals seem really close. So I would like to hear also what the community has to say, what would they like in a turn-based strategy game like this.
Update:
Gameplay style:
As I mentioned before this game is inspired by Advance Wars, but I want to state clearly that this is not an AW clone. I want to make it my own game with my own touch for what I think will make it a game optimized for phones and tablets. Right now I have most of the ideas of how the game will work and how the gameplay style will be, but I also want to know what you fellow xda'ers think.
-The moving style is similar, to AW where you can move the unit to the desired tile and you can either choose your path or let the game decide the fastest path. The purpose of this is for more strategy reasons, the fastest way is not always the best.
-The units can perform an action(attacking, building, repairing, etc...) and move independently. This way you can also attack and then move.
-This buildings are independent from the terrain. I am planning on using cities as a source of income but units will be build using barrack that will be created by engineers.
-Engineer are one of the most important units, as they will create buildings for producing units, towers for defending, and com centers for support.
- I will still have naval and air units, and their behavior will be pretty much similar to the ones of AW.
With this changes I am planning on making the game more fast and strategic. So I want to hear what you guys have to say and if you think I should add something or remove something.
I will be posting more information soon.

I got an asus transformer and it scales perfectly for tablets.
Sounds cool, how about some screen shots?
swyped from a galaxy far far away
Never actually heard of Advance Wars, looked it up, now im quite excited.
Would love to see this game. Do post the screens soon!
please please no open feint. I hate this thing in ways unimaginable.
The logic of the game is almost done but I am still lacking some cool graphics. I will throw some advanced wars sprites and I will make some screenshots.
Ok one more update
The game itself is not near completion and I would rather not show any screenshot or videos as it doesnt have any feature that will set it apart from any other TBS. I will keep working on the game and probably by next week I can have something that is worth showing. Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciated.
Sounds like its going to be awesome, can't wait!

One of the ideas I had was to make the game modular so that the instead of using and artwork set, the people in the comunity could create "texture pack" to change the look and feel of the game. But for now I need some sprites at least for making the first public demos of the game, intead of use the Advanced Wars sprites. If you know how to do graphics design I would be really pleased to have your coopertion. If you are intersted PM me back and we can figure something out.
Thank you for the interest.
Just an update,
I have being really busy moving to a new apartment so I havent got time to work too much on the game and the screenshots this last week. I am almost done with unpacking so soon I will bring more info.
Sounds good. I will test when its available. PM me when you need testers...

It's a Gameboy Advance game series--two games, both rather excellent.

[GAME] Chrono Trigger, only the best game of all time, is out on the Play store! :)

This is a game that doesn't need an introduction for most of us gamers from the SNES era. But for those of you who have NEVER heard from Chrono Trigger, you need to check this out.
This game is not only one of the best RPGs of all time, but one of the best games overall. Featuring multiple endings, an amazing and dynamic battle system, and a great and charming cast of characters designed by Akira Toriyama (you may know this guy from Dragon Ball Z). It's a masterpiece from beginning to end.
I know the $10 price can drive most people away. But for 15+ hours of great storytelling and epic battles, it is worth every penny.
Well, enough introductions. Here's the link to the Play store, enjoy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...VfZW5peC5hbmRyb2lkX2dvb2dsZXBsYXkuY2hyb25vIl0.
Come on square enix where's secret of mana! ?!?
Thanks for the heads up...one of the best jrpgs

Yey at long last
The game was ported from the Nintendo DS version, which was ported from SNES (they just improved graphics and music). Isn't it much better to play it with an emulator?

The DS port had extra dungeons and an extra ending as well. It wasn't a straight port.

First of all you missed two steps
1995 = SNES
1999 = playstation 1
2009 = Nintendo DS
2011 = Wii Console and iOS devices
2012 = Android
Second, no. There is no stable or dependable Nintendo DS emulator and while it's essentially the same game, when you've been playing it for nearly 20 years (like we real fans do), you kinda want the dimensional vortex and lost sanctum content to play with as well. There is only so much you can do to make the game experience unique and I long ago got tired of naming characters their actual real names (Nadia, Janus, R66-Y, Glenn, etc)
There's only so many times you can see the like dozen endings yknow
I bought mine yesterday. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that I don't get the 2x game speed option that I had on emulators. Level grinding takes forever now
Otherwise, well worth it. Best RPG ever, hands down. By the way, OP, you forgot to mention that while the characters were done by the Dragon Ball Z people, the game itself was designed by the Final Fantasy people. Dream Team ftw.
I did not remember the game being so ugly.
Are you sure they haven't made it worse than the console edition?

It does appear to have been filtered, I wish SE added the option to switch it on and off. And yes I forgot: the game was the love-child of the Final Fantasy team AND the creator of the Dragon Quest series. Yet still this is not a typical turn-based RPG...you gotta see it for yourself.
my life is complete.
Quick question for you guys. I actually want to buy the game to support square and hopefully get them to release more of their catalog for android, but I'd really like to be able to play the game when not connected to the internet. I've seen apk+data downloads - my question is, if I buy the game from the market, and just put the data in the folder the downloads suggest, can I then play it anywhere? Or will it not work that way? If not, I'll just buy it and play other games when I'm off the network (annoying) but if there's a way to both support the dev and be able to play it the way I want, that would be perfect.
one of the best games!
Love this game
I like secret of mana better.
Via PadFone on Tapatalk. Tablet/Laptop phone ftw!
I downloaded Final Fantasy 3/6 because it is suppose to rival this game but doubt it would.
In today's world of CoD and Halo with each game looking like a different regurgitation of the last, this game still stands proud today. Amazing character development, I remember at least 5 different endings. How many games change the plot from the choices you make in game today? Me and my two brothers would play this together (one would play the other two would watch) on the first snes emulator that came out. We would Name two of the characters after the two older brothers and the third character (frog) we were suppose to name after my little brother but we just nicknamed him after my little bro instead ''Farty" The dialog turned out to be amazing because of it.
What happened to good gaming? What happened to the sniper battles of MGS, or fighting a boss who made you unplug your controller (literally). The environment of FFX. Gaming today sucks! And don't say it has gone to platform, it's gotten better there but it sucks there too! I have an amazing PC rig but no games to enjoy it for.
We have all the money and power but no creativity to put to it.

It is a name associated to a not so good company, that once was the best in the world, until it got merged with A
Downloaded and installed it. The concept seems interesting...
I really like the game, I would be better if the game were transferable to sd, and if had an option to accelerate the game time and force the game to keep the screen on.
and I have a question: can you buy or sell equipment?? thanks
May be
