Rain Down Destruction Like the god of Thunder in VRobot’s Next Update

Earlier this year Luden.io launched a new title on Steam Early Access that’s all about one thing destruction, leveling cities and wiping little robots off the face of the planet as a massive overseer of doom, and that title’s called VRobot. Since its release the studio has added several updates including a free downloadable demo and now its announced the latest additions due to be added.

In VRobot’s next update – which has yet to be dated – players will be able to wield Nordic God, Thor’s mighty hammer, to squash and smash everything in their path as fast as possible. Obviously this is Thor’s hammer so it has all the properties of this mythical weapon. Charge it up with Lightning and smash it to the ground for a devastating area-of-effect blast, or simply throw it at distant targets bringing them crumbling to the ground then catch the hammer when it returns.

VRobot AI update

To make VRobot more dynamic, Luden.io will be adding a new AI system for the robot citizens. Before they would just amble about as if nothing was wrong as the cities came crashing down around them. This won’t be the case for much longer as they now run around and try to flee – arms waving frantically – so catching and disposing of the little mechanical menaces will be that little bit harder.

Lastly the update will include improved physics, not just for the virtual cites but the robot citizens as well.

Check out the trailer below to see all of this in action, and as Luden.io release further updates – the studio has setup a Trello page to see developments – VRFocus will let you know.

InMind 2 Opens Up Beta Testing on Google Play and Daydream

In August Nival VR revealed its latest virtual reality (VR) project in the form of InMind 2. At the same time the studio also held a closed beta for the project. Since then the developer has changed its name and most recently opened up the beta for anyone to play via Google Play along with a new trailer.

Nival VR was originally a research and development group at Nival which has now been spun off into its own company Luden.io. InMind 2 is now Luden.io’s flagship VR project, looking at brain mechanisms and emotions.

InMind 2 is an adventure videogame of sorts, exploring the chemistry that governs human emotion. Taking inspiration from the Disney/Pixar movie Inside Out, InMind 2 follows the story of John, a teenager with his life ahead of him and all the decisions that entails. Players take part in the process of John becoming an adult, shaping who he becomes later in life. There will be key moments in the videogame which will affect John’s path, opening up new interests and relations for him along the way. This path isn’t fixed, so John can grow up to be an astronaut, a famous actor, an athlete or anything else.

If you’re an Android user who owns a Google Cardboard head-mounted display (HMD) then you can dive into John’s world now as the beta is freely open to download on Google Play. Luden.io is also keen to point out that InMind 2 is compatible with Google Daydream, but that’ll have to wait until Daydream is launched, the date should be revealed this coming week.

InMind 2 will also support a variety of VR platforms including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR and iOS in the future. Until then take a look at the trailer below, and keep reading VRFocus for all the latest InMind 2 updates.
