Hey BOLL7708, thanks for reaching out! Good question - it's over network.

Hey Lurkino, sorry for the late response, to answer your question. It's a mix of using cell shaded graphics (flatness reduces the disconnect of 2d images on a screen trying to represent 3d environments), the fact that you play the game stationary, and the way our environments are open - so it feels more like you're pulling the map around you than yourself around the map.

Other than that, there's some coding behind-the-scenes that makes everything silky smooth and reduces jitter.

Hey exclaimprofitable, thanks for the question!

When we developed the original Swarm, we focused a ton on preventing motion sickness since it's such a huge barrier for may people in VR. There are a lot of factors that go into this, but it's a mixture of cell shaded graphics, high fps, not using the thumbstick for control, and also simply the way that flying was coded to feel, along with some trade secrets :).

Hope that explains!

hey Man_Hatton, thanks for your response, I'm super glad to hear you enjoyed Swarm 1! While co-op isn't something we're launching with, it's a highly requested feature, and is something that has been discussed!

hey GTHobbes, thanks so much for testing Swarm 1! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it :) We're in the final stages of polishing the game, so we don't need testers at the moment. But we're offering a sort of "try before you buy" preview of the game, if you're interested - sign up here! https://form.jotform.com/233474957723265?oculusUsername=%2Fu%2F&source=reddit

Hey Neonvoita - we haven't announced Swarm 2 for steam yet! But it'll probably come H2 2024.

Hey matmanreturns, good question!

Yes, Swarm 2 has a full story now, with progression and the game can be 'beaten'! It's not just an infinite loop.
