Oculus Rift Support

[Statyk]

To pin point a few things out there, it doesn't need to be completely re-written, but does require a large amount of redesign, especially for a game/engine such as hpl. A small engine developed by a small group of guys. But when we look at the main engines to support OR, they include Source (Valve's TF2 currently supports it), Unreal, and iD currently has is working for Doom3 BFG Edition. There are others, but the OR is not a plug-and-play device. An engine requires to be developed around it, not the other way around. This would take a lot of time to do, which would mean delays for AAMFP, even if the OR WOULD work with HPL2.

And not only would it be an addition that wouldn't really have much of an impact on the game's quality, The team didn't seem so excited about it as one would hope. It's a nice device, but with HPL's interaction system, don't you think it'd be strange picking something up with your eyeballs technically? To me, I think OR might be a bit of a mess for a game like amnesia, until perhaps they develop it so the head is controlled by the Rift, and the mouse controls the crosshair freely on the screen (this is an available option in TF2). For now, I don't see this happening. I'd rather see engine-sepcific additions such as outdoor lighting, perhaps even a lightmass system and directional lighting (a large lightsource such as a sun or moon covering a landscape), perhaps even a first person body going on, Material type improvements/additions, things like that... I'm more interested in the visual aspect, not the compatibility aspect. (that's if FG would be so kind to keep modding capabilities through to their new HPL3 engine, but also so their future games can get even prettier =P )
