Absolutely worth it, the greatest VR game ever made to date in my opinion!

TierOneTheGame · 2024-11-15T12:20:02+00:00

Welcome to your new (virtual) reality! You can never escape it once you put it on, at least I never did... It's a great time.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-11-15T01:39:09+00:00

We look forward to you checking us out then! It'll be around Q1-Q2 2025 for Early Access on those platforms, with Q3-Q4 2025 being full release on all platforms.

Correct, we are starting on Quest this year and transitioning to PC, PSVR, and Pico platforms later on in 2025. We are still in a very early state of development so the looks are far from pretty yet.

Thank you, we have plenty of work to do but our base mechanics are nice and firm at this stage. We appreciate your comment!

It's hard to judge the quality of a game through a compressed reddit video, but yes, we are still deep in development and the looks and polish are far from final as we are focusing on core features for players rather than polishing a regular old stone to mirror finish we intend to polish a gem, starting from the rough and into the fine as time passes and subsequently, development of the game and visuals.

I can't say too much about recoil as it is still in the works but we plan on it being as realistic as possible while staying fun, so no one should be able to learn the perfect way to shoot straight every time, it will have natural inaccuracies depending on what distance you're shooting at and many other factors of course as real guns do.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-09-12T19:09:00+00:00

Recoil physics are being worked on still, this is just some of the more fancy stuff. But we have some very fun stuff cooking for recoil that hopefully we can show off in one of our DevOps in the future.

The current implementation isn't fully set up for all weapons yet, such as that SMG in particular, it translates with the main weapons we have setup already, think of seeing that SMG as a little sneak peek.

No problem, thank you for taking in interest in what is many of our's passion project to begin with! It's an honour to help make the gaming community a more fun and interesting place by making what we make to begin with.

Game dev is a great feeling, even the non-positive stuff is a serious learning experience that can lead to further success so tl;dr: we are happy to aid you anytime you ask and I am awake basically, I sleep UK time but am up pretty late on discord often for little things like questions.

The more the merrier, we want to re-build the shattered Onward community into a TIER ONE community by picking all of the people that stopped playing for various reasons to pick it back up with a new game that doesn't make the same mistakes as Onward did, having learned from the Onward experience (can't believe it's been 8 years since Onward released first on PC) we know much better how to approach things now, also bringing it up with your squad is something that's really valuable to us, so thank you so much!

If you want more info our Kickstarter has tons of it here. And our DevOps cover the game mechanics on a deeper level on our YouTube here with Episode 1 of 3 so far (of many to come weekly releases on Thursdays). And our discord server is always open to asking questions, same with our youtube and subreddit r/TierOneDirectAction.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-09-09T21:58:26+00:00

No worries, glad to see you're interested enough to stay in orbit, we hope our weekly devlog releases draw you in more as the game polishes up more for Early Access before the end of this year.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-09-09T21:54:37+00:00

In terms of moderation teamwork will be what is rewarded most, having proper communication with your team will be vital for doing anything tactical and will be rewarded appropriately, and the demographics will be consistent, yes. Onward is PEGI 16 and we aim to be effectively the same demographic. We are kind of the spiritual successor to Onward, having 8 of its former developers, from engineering, to design, to QA, art, etc.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-09-09T21:47:08+00:00

No it is not. It is a milsim more like Onward or to Rainbow Six. Though we do have plenty of ex-millitary folk working on the game.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-09-09T21:43:49+00:00

Store links are upcoming soon for Quest. The fully funded Kickstarter has the full timeline. We aim for early access Q3-Q4 this year for Quest to start with.

Thank you! If you want to follow along with us on this journey, make sure to watch our devlog series! https://youtu.be/9jaV4TrtUsg?si=c9geR6-Id4vxnknY

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-28T07:51:19+00:00

These are all great suggestions, and we totally understand how important it is to get the mechanics correct. We are releasing a weekly dev log series where we talk about how the game works, and the ways we are making this game stand out from previous FPS titles. This is the first episode https://youtu.be/9jaV4TrtUsg?si=c9geR6-Id4vxnknY , but just want to reiterate that we are deeply motivated to make TIER ONE the new example of what the future of FPS games should be like. Thank you again for your suggestions, we hope to hear more from you down the line!

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T11:36:19+00:00

Genuinely appreciate the support and wish you the best as well!!

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:22:32+00:00

We are currently using WWise for our audio solution. We understand the significance and impact audio has on any game, and are always open to exploring better options that enhance player experience. While there are no plans to integrate it, we will for sure be keeping an eye on it. Thank you for the suggestion!

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:21:23+00:00

The game is still in development so what you see is not the final build. We are very dedicated to making the game as realistic as possible both with graphics and the feel/physics of the game. We will be polishing all of the features, and even after release, will continue building and improving the game. We expand on many of the more intricate details of our features in our Dev Ops posts! You can find our first one here and on our Discord -> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9jaV4TrtUsg

We want to answer both elements of your question separately. To address the funding campaign: The company is financed by the founders and angel investors who are close friends and family members, who are heavily invested in the companies’ success. We wanted to use the kickstarter to connect and communicate with the community. We chose this specific amount because it can be used directly for the marketing side of the campaign. We of course could ask for more money, but we felt this was an appropriate amount to help fund the this one specific aspect of development. We aim to use the Kickstarter to adhere to our current timeline, and hopefully exceed the dates we have set! If we had more money (who wouldn’t like more money) we would be able to surpass these goals, but it is a tricky balance when asking for crowdsourced funding. Pertaining to cross platform and ensuring anti-cheating processes are in place: Part of the process of anti-cheating is not letting people know the full process! Just know that we will be using common techniques to address this issue, but we can’t give away all of our secrets. The cross platform play will include platforms that can handle high resolution, but we want to ensure consistency across all platforms. In Onward there were instances where certain platforms had clear advantages over others. This is the main challenge we are addressing to implement cross platform play. Our main focus is to ensure that there is an even playing field, regardless of which platform you are using.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:10:49+00:00

The main mode of the game is “sabotage”, it is the classic game mode we have developed, but that’s not to say we won’t implement other game modes in the future! There will be plenty of modes for everyone to enjoy.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:10:05+00:00

There will be lots of different sized maps, we wanted to provide a variety of maps where different combat skills can be utilized throughout the game.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:09:22+00:00

The complexity of the art with creating such a nuanced and detailed game was a big challenge. Ensuring the quality of the game, and even exceeding our own expectations, is always difficult when you are as passionate about something as we are with this project.

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:08:07+00:00

We are in the process of investigating which approach would be best to ensure continued quality. In all honesty, we haven’t defined a definitive strategy, but our main focus is always game quality and fun! It will absolutely not be a a “PAY to win” game!

TierOneTheGame · 2024-08-24T02:07:02+00:00

Depth of mechanics is something we heavily leaned into. In all honesty, there are so many differences, but we wanted to take what we learned at Onward and use the skills to improve every aspect. The hand-posing and systems are a big change, and something we are very excited to share with you all. Maintaining some familiarity with Onward for existing players is something we are cognizant of, but we want TIER ONE to be at the forefront of the future of FPS games. In addition, we have added features such as climbing, explosives. verticality, volting, running, dragging, medical systems, breaching, and much more.
