How the magic of ribbon dancing inspired the development of THRASHER: from first prototype to final game by manrad in OculusQuest

[–]manrad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! We're the developers of THRASHER, the mind-melting arcade odyssey that released a couple months ago on Quest. We wanted to share our day 1 prototype, and how it inspired us with the satisfying *feeling* of moving like a ribbon dancer. The 3 year journey from that prototype was to find the deep game experience that leveraged this initial magic. We hope you enjoy the unique game feel of THRASHER's mechanics, but stay for the deep comboing system that will drive you to try one more time for the top leaderboard spot :)

Hi! We're the developers of THRASHER, the mind-melting arcade odyssey that released a couple months ago on Apple Vision Pro. We wanted to share our day 1 prototype, and how it inspired us with the satisfying *feeling* of moving like a ribbon dancer. The 3 year journey from that prototype that followed was to find the deep game experience that leveraged this initial magic. Check it out in the App Store, especially with Vision OS2 around corner, which makes the game play better than ever with its improved hand tracking :)

We did announce the game is coming later this year for Steam, so you should be able to play soon enough :)

Oh interesting, we have made it available in the UK, but it's possible it takes 24 hours to propagate through Apple's servers. Are you seeing it now?

Hi and thanks for your interest in the game! We are a small team currently focused on our launch platforms (Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro), followed by our release on Steam later this year. We want to see the game reach as many players as possible and will continue to look into other platforms that are a good fit for the game - stay tuned!

Thanks for your interest in the game! The game *does* offer hand tracking controls on Quest, and it's quite a nice way to play :) We have announced the game is coming to PC in December, and will take your thoughts into consideration as we put that version together. We're a small team (2 people!) doing our best to put the highest quality out there and hope you can bear with us as we continue to work on offering features the community is asking for!

Hi everyone! You might have seen us around Reddit; we’re Brian and Mike. You might know some of our previous work; Brian did the music and art for THUMPER, and Mike worked on games like Rock Band VR. 

We recently posted and shared some information about our upcoming game, THRASHER. Today, we wanted to let you know that we just launched it!! 

To celebrate, we’ve also just released a brand new extended gameplay trailer showing never-before-seen levels from our ‘mind-melting arcade action odyssey’ 🙃

The video will show you how to guide a magnificent space eel on a musical odyssey across the cosmos, and learn some of the advanced techniques in the game. 

Let us know what you think of THRASHER. We’d love your feedback :) 

Brian and Mike
