A Sneak Peek at Technolust 2, the Next VR Game I Will Be Working On

in #steemstem7 years ago

Long time followers probably know I wrote world building materials and dialogue for Narcosis. It was my foot in the door of the gaming industry, and it ultimately landed me a spot working on another VR title that's still in development: Technolust 2. Early gameplay footage can be seen below:

For reference, and for those who never played the original Technolust, the release trailer can be seen below. It was updated since then to support Oculus Touch, allowing you to grab and move objects in the environment:

The inspiration for adding an open world, free roam city to Technolust 2 (navigable by flying car) came from the incredible VR tech demo "Air Car", seen below:

Technolust 2 will combine the on foot, puzzle and sleuthing elements from Technolust with the freedom of flight and aerial exploration of a futuristic city found in Air Car. The preliminary intention is to make a game with a structure and concept similar to Snatcher, but fully realized in a way that wasn't possible with the hardware available then:

The current intent is that Technolust 2 will be a combination of all of these: Technolust, AirCar and Snatcher. A cyberpunk adventure game which offers unprecedented freedom to move around the world and explore every facet of it. It's a killer concept I couldn't bear to miss out on being a part of, so as you can imagine, I jumped at the offer.

Still no firm story in place, though the largest elements have begun to come together. Also no firm estimate on when you can expect it to release. I'll be feeding you bits and pieces as I receive permission to.


Stay Cozy!

I'm curious about the technolust, the world of the game is fantastic.
This kind of world is one of my favourites. Rainy, gloomy, cyberpunk should feel great, especially on VR!

I love VR, i remember being very impressed first time I saw the original Technolust demo as it was so early on in the VR lifecycle.

I am on the Vive side of the fence though, currently getting great playtime out of Beat Saber.

Any plans for TL2 to be cross platform?

I had no idea you were doing this so cool! Ctyber Punk has my name all over it! So cool!

I would love to write music for something like this!

Alex - Are you in this project? I'm not a fan of VR games... But if you involved it's a good news for us...

Hey there. I'm really happy that you are going to work on another game , had lot of fun in the previous one. Looking forward to it

I like everything that has to do with video games and the new additions will be very well received. Wait for new publication to see how it progresses in the graph.

That's awesome, man! Can't wait to see the finished product, my dude.

The current intent is that Technolust 2 will be a combination of all of these: Technolust, AirCar and Snatcher.

I watched you play AirCar and I watched Technoluat trailer. Hi love the AirCar graphics. I actualy thought it won’t let you crash to the water. It looked really cool. Very anxious to see the results.

Although I did not know much about the game, but the Sega production Satcher made me think of my childhood. Long ago, people who have Sega Games are financially rich. Good job @alexbeyman.

A very brilliant game concept @alexbeyman. By combining Technolust, Air Car and Snatcher, this game becomes truly a futuristic cyberpunk adventure. I like the soundtrack and its very detailed graphics.

This game is dope. Simple yet has amazing graphics. I would love to play it when it's out..just one problem- I don't have a VR equipment.

Time to unleash the beast ASAP .

Game looks great! Hope you are able to make some more VR video series soon with the internet all sorted (or close to sorted) out.

This game looks so sleek even though this is in its early stage! I love the spotlights in the darkness, super detail so far, I look forward to see more!

Wow, cool sir.I am also a great gaming fan.Thanks for this update sir.
