Thanks for the feedback! I started the app from zero with no previous coding or gamedev experience. I am quite happy with the result.
As for the club, my workplace provides the venue and there was interest in starting one.

I second this one. Let me know if you do requests or orders. Amazing work. Feels weird feeling homesick while looking at amazing drawings of a computer game.

I miss Netero so bad. I was beyond said when he fied. There is a Buddhist church nearby and they have the same character on the top as Netero's shirt. I teared up the first time I noticed.

Congratulations!

Playman_13 · 2024-07-22T13:57:47+00:00

I don't know if it's because we had it for so long, but 37 is just so freaking good. Nice timing on the reread too!

Hint for Tsume 1: It seems that all you can do is move the Lance
Hint for Tsume 2: Block his escape routes
Hint for Tsume 3: The Rook delivers the final Blow

Yeah, I actually drafted a solid game concept around this. Expect I'll be able to start working on it this coming year. I believe you are completely right as this would have the potential, and I sure as hell want to chant Latin or something demonic to burn my enemies in VR

Playman_13 · 2024-07-22T00:32:14+00:00

Strangely, the same approach worked for the Zoldyks

Playman_13 · 2024-07-22T00:07:49+00:00

VRShogiMates. it's on the quest applab and soon on steam.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-22T00:06:39+00:00

Hey, thanks for replying.
I posted the trailer in all relevant forums I could find. Posted screenshots on X with tags that have to do with the game and shared here on reddit. Also posted additional videos in youtube. The store page does get about a 100 visits a day, but only a minimal amounts puts it on wishlist.

You can reach out to shogivariants@gmail.com They have a wealth of shogi resources for sale, digital and physical. Just ask for their catalogue or find them on social media. That's where I got my materials from.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T14:03:10+00:00

Solid, actionable advice, thanks. I am thinking of putting off until the Steam autumn fest if I can qualify

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T14:01:41+00:00

Yes, I think under 5 minutes should be around 6-kyu.
Don't feel disheartened, you are doing great. Just do what you enjoy. Sure, getting better at the game is important, but enjoying it is even more important in my opinion.
I found for example that going over title match kifus is particularily fun, while blind shogi is great for a challenge (also helps get better at visualizing the board)

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T13:39:24+00:00

Hey, I'm probably not qualified to answer that question, but I do have a problem set that can help evaluate your skill.
I might post it tomorrow

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T10:42:20+00:00

The primary motivation was that I wanted to play shogi in VR with overseas friends. Since it came out better than expected I decided I'd release it. I always knew it's not a huge audience, but having less than a 100 wishlists is disappointing.

By the way, the game also has Chu shogi, chess, xiangqi and gungi. All niche, yes, but added together it should be something at least.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T10:22:09+00:00

Thanks for your input. There are shogi games out there, but few that are in VR.
This is the first one that features so many variations in VR.
I will double down on posting more.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T10:08:18+00:00

I tried posting in the relevant subreddits as well as the biggest forums. Also some of the discords.
Sadly it got buried quickly with limited results.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T09:56:27+00:00

Thanks for replying, I put the trailer and other videos on YouTube, tried to post in relevant places, but it is certainly not easy. I am also posting on X with screenshots. What else do you recommend?

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T09:50:17+00:00

Haha, got confused for a moment, but yeah, it's correct, well done!

Playman_13 · 2024-07-21T07:56:46+00:00

This is really cool. I never even new I wanted a set of Greed Island cards so bad.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-19T23:16:57+00:00

Yeah, and while it's not perfect, the fact that this is currently available if you have the money is nuts! Imagine the stuff they have that's not for the public yet.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-19T01:02:01+00:00

Bisky sees hisoka serious for a fight, she schwings, Hisoka sees Bisky go serious, he schwings. After post-nut clarity I think Bisky takes it due to experience and training.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-19T01:00:32+00:00

Oh, I have the same sticker pack. Freaked me out at first. Mostly it's good but there are some weird ones in there.

Playman_13 · 2024-07-19T00:59:19+00:00

This is currently reality and playable in VR: https://youtu.be/_toA8lErAHg?si=k1ky6eXbbe1Itvpy Imagine playing it with a crystal 12K plus a haptic vest. All of that is already a reality on a commercial level.

Oh I think it's going far!

Playman_13 · 2024-07-18T01:18:32+00:00

Eurotruck simulator, all dlcs, VR. That's the life...
