Die Thumbsticks (Rift-Touch-Controller) kann man zur Steuerung nicht benutzen, oder?

Warum sollte man das wollen? Vox ist ein MechPILOTEN-Simulator. Kein Mech-Simulator.

vr nerds meinten man kann es auch mit gamepad zocken, wem es so lieber ist

DerDod · 27. Oktober 2018

VR Nerds haben auch gesagt, es ist bestenfalls so lala und ich gebe ihnen recht: Vox mit dem Gamepad (und dann trotzdem VR) zu spielen ist als wenn du FIFA mit einem Lenkrad zocken würdest. Im Video scheitert der Typ so gnadenlos an Situationen, die mit den Händen locker machbar wären weil er drauf besteht jedes Multiplayerspiel krampfhaft mit dem Gamepad zu spielen. Was für ein Schwachsinn!

Neue Alphaversion 0.32.0 mit unter anderen interessanten neuen Features, wie z.B. HOTAS Support.

Patch Notes - 0.32.0 alpha
Today's patch brings you a bunch of improvements to hosting matches, tweaking your cockpit, and some weapon adjustments. Be on the lookout for a future article to learn about some of the new content coming up in the next major update.

Host can adjust Match Config settings such as Duration and Remix toggles after match has started.

Dedicated Server launched without a playlist will become a player-controlled server. The first player to join will become host. Look for servers labelled "FreePlay" to take advantage of this new feature.

Add support for CH Fighterstick.

Add support for CH Pro Throttle.

Add support for Saitek X45 Flight Control Stick.

Hands will no longer fly into the air when tracking is lost on some motion controller types.

Revamped explosive weapon damage. New method takes into account surface area of the component, volume of the explosion, and other factors when calculating damage. In general, smaller components take less damage, and larger ones more damage.

Reticle can now be offset both horizontally and vertically. It can also be offset in smaller increments.

Remove "DISABLED" aim speed, add "2.0" aim speed choice.

Head-tracked aiming on the scope for VR users. (Default is the old manual aiming. Look in the menu under Controls > Aiming to change to the new style.)

Eject handle position can now can be offset forward/back and up/down.

Fix JOIN menu freezing when trying to connect to a server you are already connected to.

Fix some cases of radial menus not fading out properly.

Fix Space Bullet splash screen timing and fading issues.

Skyjacker requires targets to be moving slightly faster than before to detonate. Damage dealt is much more consistent per shot.

Spooky week bis zum 02. November.
Plus Wormageddon Update mit unter anderem, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS und MFG Crosswindv2 Pedals Support.

Wormageddon Content Update
It’s that time of year once again, so Vox Machinae is back and spookier than ever with our wormageddon update! As some of you may recall, last year we debuted our spooky week content which added giant death-dealing worms in Blast Chamber and featured our skull achievement hat for a very limited time. Well let me tell ya, this year we’re taking things even further with the following appropriately spooky additions:

Worm Hunter, a new limited time offering:
We like to call it Skull 2.0, but essentially we’ve added a new way to get an even more exclusive spooky week hat, so get to unlocking before spooky week ends! Note that the original Skull hat achievement is once again enabled for the taking, so don’t miss it this time around.

Wormageddon remix mode
You asked for it (again and again, you know who you are!), so we went ahead and did the unthinkable. With the new wormageddon remix mode enabled, worms will now spawn on any level of your choosing and in any mode. What’s more, they come out even more often than before, sometimes several slithering around at the same time! So better brush up on your dodging skillz, because those worms are out to get you!

Dust ON those old cobwebs, plus green goop too
We thought our old spooky week decorations could use some more… spookiness. That’s why we spared no expense and imported only the finest earth spiders to populate your hangar with webs. Also, someone must have left the green smoke machine on for far too long and flooded the hangar with an eerie green glow.

Wait, where'd TT3 and Modules go?
I knew someone would ask us that, so here’s the long and short of it. We wanted to put in all sorts of crazy awesome new stuff for this update. As we piled on the features though, it became abundantly clear that we had too much stuff to lump together with the spooky content. So we split them up, with spooky content heading out the door very soon, and a much more ambitious update following at a later date.

Last but not least, the patch notes:

Wormageddon has arrived. This new Remix option will frequently spawn worms on any level.

Spooky Week runs from October 26 to November 2.

Spooky Week: Earn a spooky new hat for giving the worms a good thrashing.

Spooky Week: Dedicated servers will have Wormageddon enabled from October 29 to November 1.

Scramble Teams option is now more scramblier.

Fix some Index controller buttons stopping working after opening the Steam overlay.

Fix networking issue that could cause the master server to not return the server list in some rare cases.

Fix intermission length on dedicated servers being 75 seconds instead of the intended 60 seconds.

Add support for Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS.

Add support for MFG Crosswind V2 pedals.

Fix incorrect lighting on worms.

Spätestens jetzt wird das ganze wirklich interessant für mich.
Der Entwickler arbeitet seit nun über zwei Jahren an einer Story-Kampagne und gibt nun erste Informationen dahingehend bereit.

Vox Machinae + Campaign = Soon

We hear people like stories... Ok so the truth is, we’ve been secretly developing an epic solar system-spanning singleplayer story campaign for Vox Machinae for over 2 years now. What a relief to finally get that out there, such a load to get off of the ol’ chest. What’s that? You want to know all the details of what you can expect to see from this new chapter of Vox Machinae and how we came to this point? Well you came to the right place, here’s the lowdown.
Klicke in dieses Feld, um es in vollständiger Größe anzuzeigen.

Story Scale
The scale of Vox was always meant to be massive. Massive mining grinders that were housed in massive hangars, and serviced by multiple crews. Massive operations, possible only due to oversized conglomerates whose reach spans galaxies. Unreasonably massive resources for undertaking such efforts; measured in gigatons — of fuel, of steel, munitions and manpower. They’re not just big, folks! … they’re WAY too big. With the campaign, we're taking this sense of scale to the next logical extreme with new content you simply have to see in VR to believe.

The Cast
To give feeling to this universe, we focused on creating a wide cast of endearing and quirky characters. A crew of local inhabitants to this corner of space, who made this hostile industry their home. As the new recruit, you look to them to assess the appropriate response to events and vistas: sure, that sensibly oversized walking citadel is unusual in our world — but what about the day-to-day mining ops in the Serus System? Come on!

Enter The Competence
The campaign had to span an entire star system. To ground the experience, we needed to create an appropriate environment that would serve as a homebase to come back to after each mission. No matter whether we return from mining on Topaz or venture into the darkness of the distant obits of Serus’ secluded planets; A little carrier by the name of ‘The Competence’ will take you there. During those journeys between planets you'll be able to fully explore this new space while geting to know your new crew.

Planet Hopping
Fresh locales along with the battle-tested maps from multiplayer make their appearances, now host to a gripping new story. The environments have character of their own. Beyond standard inhospitality, their morphology presents different challenges — both in traversal as well as complications in combat. Sometimes standing to your advantage, sometimes exposing you to the enemy. It’s best to keep your awareness of surroundings about you in this alien scenery.

Cinematic Score
No cinematic ride would be complete without a custom music score for all the action taking place between hitting start, and the final flash of the credits. Vox Machinae continues to receive tremendous love and attention from the original composer since the project began.

Why Do This Now?
Growing up in the 90s, we too were gamers who fondly explored the adventures that populated the entertainment space from a burgeoning artform. PC gaming seemingly exploded out of nowhere and offered an interactive way to experience a narrative. The environments and characters not only stirred our imaginations, but asked us to directly advance the action. Whether it was the text briefings of Warcraft, live action cutscenes in Wing Commander or the non-stop immersion of Half Life, they put player agency at the center of it all. All this to say that stories hold a special place in our hearts, because they’ve always been the catalyst for being in this industry in the first place.

Although we planned for Vox to have a campaign when setting out to make it all the way back in 2013, the size of Space Bullet even at early access launch was only two artists and a programmer. Ultimately our limited time and resources dictated a narrow path forward so that the work we put in could generate the biggest impact in the product. I mean just take a look at our aging early access trello roadmap! Not even the ‘Pie in the Sky’ tasks were all that ambitious.

With the support of an early fanbase we pressed through the other end of our Early Access release and found our production pace. Through it we could see a welcoming and respectful community of fierce-yet-friendly pilots populating our Discord Server, Reddit, even across various news outlets. So we started hiring more talent onto the team, and began dreaming BIG once again.

The coding ranks were bolstered first, a designer was brought on board, and although the visual arts department stayed at two members, we expanded the sound department and added a dedicated writer to the team. And so began the trek that saw us through two years of quietly working on a campaign while adding content.

And So...
In conclusion, it is our great joy
[among a salad of other emotions]
to be able to answer the call from all who saw great potential in the game from this tiny, but enthusiastic Canadian team. Now … for the folks that have been asking —the answer remains— as it has for the past two years: “a campaign is certainly something that interests us greatly.”

Only today, with gratitude for your patience and support; We officially announce Vox Machinae's singleplayer campaign.
Oh, and did we mention it'll be free to all who bought the game?
