FAQ: Yes, We Support Kinect

Q: ..This game supports Kinect?

Yes!.On PC only, if you plug iri a Kinect 2.0 to-your computer while the game is:apen, you-tan play through the entirety of the game using Kinect controls. Grab meat with your meat harids! Your body is the controller! We live in the future. Good luck.

Q:Is Kinect the optirnal way to play Space Warlord Organ Tradirig Simulator? Absolutely not.

Q: Why would | play a fast-paced reflex-based economic tycoon using Kinect?

| have no earthly idea, but | am personally sending the first person to direct message me documented proof of using a Kinect to play through the entirety of the campaign, (reaching the "The Top 0.1%" reputation level) a $50 Steam gift card. Primarily so I can. meet the kind of person who would do that to themselves, and plead with them for mercy lest they destroy us all.

Q: How did you put Kinect support into a game in 20217

| work with a brilliant, slightly unhinged creative programmer named Sam Chiet,. and one day, at 3 AM, | blearily opened my phone to find a video.of the game working with full functionality on a Kinect. And a tablet. And a Wiimote. You know, for the Nintendo Wii (2007).

He apparently did ail of those experiments in one night just because he cold, and Has since dedicated a large portion of his time to single-handedly becoming the final Kinect developer. | decided the safest option was to stay out of his way.

Q: Why did you put Kinect support into a game in 2021? | embrace the Sun with arms outstretched so that my oblivion will be. one og my own choosing.

Definitely check out the soundtrack of this game. It is really good - weird but good.

Finally a PM who understands programmers

I feel only slightly less ridiculous asking for Steam Controller support in games 😆 But I will keep asking because I fucking love that controller.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

For real. I'm dreading the day mine stops working. It's taken some drops over the years but it's still going strong. Legit one of the best controllers ever made. I will absolutely die on this hill.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

If they didn't cost around 120+$ I'd have bought another 3. Instead I just have to buy more Steam Decks :(.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.

[–] tmyakal@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Man, I miss mine so much

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I wish I had a Kinect because it's like the best, self-contained singular device that you can setup FBT with in VR that isn't completely wonky. At least, for the cost that they were when they were still being sold at retail, where it was cheaper than even the cheapest FBT options now. Fuckers were cheap AF considering all the tech in them.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

It's been so long since I heard about the Kinect that I had to look up what it was. That's pretty damn cool. It's like hearing someone decided to add Leap Motion gesture controls to their game because why not?

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Star Wars Kinect was the bomb

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

OMG the leap motion. Ten years ago it was set to revolutionize computer input. Where's now?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

In lots of people's drawers when they realized holding their arms up to their monitors all the time was really tiring.

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 27 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The world needs more unhinged developers like Sam. I wonder what he'll do if we send him a kilo of cocaine.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

I assume cocaine also has some kind of ballmer peak

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 31 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I actually got kinect sensor recently, because you can use it for bootleg full body tracking in VR. Cost me a total of £6 including the power adapter.

It's not great, but better than whatever it is that VRChat does with your limbs by default.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Strop removing the barriers. I don't want to accidently become a vtuber.

[–] slampisko@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Resistance is futile. Becoming a vtuber is as inevitable as evolving into a crab.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh no, I was already thinking of multiple legs and chitin.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I have a kinect, I have to try this.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I think it's the Xbox 360 version that works with it, it's called Amethyst.

It's not perfect if you get fancy with your poses (it's mostly designed to track a standing body for dance games), and because it works with tracking dots, baggy or fluffy clothing will throw it off. But for £6? You're looking at 100 times that for the VIVE alternative.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 120 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

This is why you should always give your developer "free dev time" where they work on what they feel like, or what they think is important outside of the approved scope.

They have fun and will likely fix something your players will be asking for.

Someone is going to stream that 0.1% run on twitch and market the hell out of your game. Just look at Luality that completed dark souls with a DDR dancepad.

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 37 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

will likely fix something your players will be asking for

Or they will add Kinect support to your game. You never know.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Truly a double edged sword.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 12 points 4 hours ago

I've seen a chick playing 2 darksouls games one with ddr pad and one with controller at the same time fighting bosses lol

[–] tabris@lemmy.world 81 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Until recently I worked for a big telecoms company as a software engineer. We had time set aside for self development and non-work projects. Originally it was half a day a week, but we found it better to be a day every fortnight.

You could learn a new programming language or tool, build something just for fun or something you thought was useful for the team (we built a custom dashboard with notices etc., a quiz engine for weekly quizzes), or add functionality to a project that wasn't specced or requested, but you thought could add value.

After a while, a department wide code wars league was set up to challenge and learn, we had a yearly Easter egg hunt that involved solving puzzles to find prizes, people did lightning talks to teach things that they'd learnt, workshops, etc.

So much knowledge, skill and confidence was added to the team that was worth way more than what we'd do on any normal day. I'd recommend it to any technical team to try something similar.

Would love to see this in an architecture team

What game is this exactly? For research purposes

[–] littletoolshed@lemmy.world 69 points 10 hours ago (3 children)
[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 94 points 10 hours ago

From the article:"On February 10, 2023, user "Swag Gucci Balenciaga Corndog" on Steam completed this bounty and summitted proof of his run."

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 26 points 10 hours ago

This is a much funnier answer than I could have ever expected.

Huh? It's referenced by name right there in the screenshot...

I skimmed over it. Big whoop

Haha, I noticed that too.

Pretty fun game too!

PS move to box in basement of mom house next to old Christmas lights, sister rocking horse, and grandma knitting needles.

Reprogramming old remotes is solar punk.

I've done stuff for $50 too, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Kinect 2.0 is the one for Xbox One, right? That one has a proprietary plug and needs an adapter of some kind for PC. Finding one now needs some effort. Would have been neat if it supported the Xbox 360 Kinect because it has a standard USB connector.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 17 points 10 hours ago (6 children)

Wiimotes work on PC similar to any modern remote. They're refering to that.
