This year E3 was about preparing for the future of XING, and taking some time off from development to have a bit of fun! Since James and I both live in California, we decided to go to meet with contacts, make new friends and try out the latest games! We put the latest alpha build on some flash drives for some of the contacts we would be meeting with....and I added XING stickers to make them look nicer :)
Day 1
Since we didn't have any meetings in the morning, the first thing we decided to do was explore. This resulted in some Star Wars photos!
Trying out the Omni:
James and I both got to try the Virtuix Omni. I went into it with an open mind, try to think of how this could be applied to XING (naturally), and I actually came away impressed. At first it felt clunky, having to waer the belt and feeling the plastic bowl under the special shoes - but once I got into the game I didn't focus too much on where I physically was in real life - but rather I focused on where I was in the demo. Though it's definitely not for everyone, I think this could be a fun addition to any VR experience that required locomotion - plus, it might help keep you in shape! ;)
Although I feel that this technology isn't ready for the public market quite yet - since I get Sim Sickness in VR games, I can see something like this helping people like from from feeling any sort of SIM-related nausea.
Of course, we hope to eliminate that as much as we possibly can for everyone in XING - without anyone having to buy a crazy omni-treadmill unless they truly want to!
Stopping by the Nintendo Booth:
The Star Fox Zero theme was blasting through the hall
Shigeru Miyamoto!
Day 2
During our free time, we tried to play as many games as we could.
Playing the latest Star Wars expansion of Disney Infinity
James playing the latest Ratchet and Clank
Ratchet appeared while we were playing his game!
Kratos!
Trying out VR games at the Indicade area!
We tried out the Virtulaizer after trying out the Omni the day before.
This didn't require special shoes. Instead they put nylon booties over our normal shoes so that we would "slip" around the slick, flat surface. Unfortunately, this did not feel as good as the Omni, as far as an omni-directional treadmill for VR goes. It was far too slippery to feel like actual walking, and the tracking for the demo was not perfect. Overall, it was fun to try out a different technology, but I would personally choose an Omni over the Virtualizer.
Little Big Planet!
Rooftop after-party. Secrets.
Day 3

Goodbye E3 - see you next year!
We had a great time making contacts and playing games at E3 this year. Afterwards it was back to developing, as usual :)
Hey there! A short and easy pixel-art game with a few survival elements. Very enjoyable! What is the game all about? The Long Reach is a 2D side-scrolling adventure / point and click game mixed with a few survival horror elements. The pixel-art is very appealing and retro-fans will love this game. Most of the time you’re in control of Stuart, who acts as a guinea pig for a company called General Education. After a very confusing beginning, you’re trapped inside this company and you must find a way out. For this, must collect items and solve puzzles. Furthermore, you will learn more about the backstory and the main story will become clearer. Until drugs become involved – from then on, it’s hard to determine what’s real and what’s just an imagination. The game is very dark and the flashlight will become your best friend. Although it takes a while until you find it. As mentioned, this game also contains survival horror elements. Later in the game you encounter some enemies and you must f...

Don’t worry if you miss a collectible, there’s chapter select and you can replay each level as soon as you’ve beaten it. As mentioned ...
