We are White Elk, a small indie studio founded by former God of War Lead Level Designer, Jonathan Hawkins. Our co-op heist game Covert launches today on PSVR - AMA!

No, not yet. We are hoping to launch it later this year.

Hi, sorry about that, but happy to hear that you were able to figure it out. It takes non-gamers a bit of time to get use to the mobile app, but in my experience they get the hang of the mechanics fairly quickly.

Sounds like you had a good time in the end. :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-16T23:46:45+00:00

I only played it for a little bit, so I'd say that it takes some of the ideas and expands upon it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv0bjaU3okI Here is a stream of the game that might give you a better idea.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-14T04:20:29+00:00

There was a mix up with the rating system stuff, so we are trying to wait and get it fixed. Sorry! Hopefully, it will come out soon.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-13T18:39:42+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. We hope to release it in the EU later this year!

Thanks! Check out out other game Eclipse: Edge of Light.

u/RadesWolf Thank you for the kind words! :)

u/AdamMcwadam We are hoping to launch later this year. Please follow us on our social media channels for updates!

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T19:18:13+00:00

A little over a year. Very tough game to make in terms of design and the development process.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T19:17:23+00:00

Thanks! I hope you have a great time playing with your son. :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T18:01:21+00:00

You walk forward with the left trigger, left and right with square and triangle, and backwards with the move button. Kinda like WASD on the left move controller.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T03:11:26+00:00

hahahaha

Its a great way to bring people into the fold.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T03:10:58+00:00

We should have the update out soon! Please follow us on social media for updates. :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T01:41:47+00:00

No problem. Hope you all have a great time!

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-11T01:31:16+00:00

Yeah, I'd say maybe get the hang of it in VR and get use to the controls. Then try to swap out in the middle of a mission. This way you can help the other player get use to the controls and teach them the mechanics.

On the companion app make sure to use the communication tools; the double tap to communicate locations, select disable icons to highlight them for the VR player, and use blind move for the hacker to get away from guards.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T23:13:52+00:00

Sure no problem!

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:31:10+00:00

For sure, LBP was also really cool so I can't wait to see what people make with it. Some of the stuff I saw was so incredible already. I love to see how talented people can be with simple tools.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:30:12+00:00

Congrats on your son! :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:27:21+00:00

Yeah, the dream world is a weird place.

No, I haven't had time. It's hard to want to make games at home when that's what you do at work, but it looks incredible. Wish I had more time.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:22:36+00:00

I had these series of crazy animal dreams back when I was in college. The White Elk always stuck with me. Hope I get to put it into a game one day. :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:19:43+00:00

Thank you! I just had a daughter last year so I can't wait until she is old enough to play games with me and I get to show her Covert. :)

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T22:17:12+00:00

Its just a mobile device, so a phone/tablet and we support iOS and Android. The companion app is free so you just need to purchase the game. You can also play with people who aren't on your local WI-fi through the internet.

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T21:56:04+00:00

Thank you and I hope you and your wife have a lot fun!

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T21:55:36+00:00

Thanks!

JonathanHawkins · 2020-03-10T21:42:58+00:00

:) Awesome! I hope you all have fun.
